Smart gadgets that automatically respond to signals from other devices or from the environment. These include home assistants, smart phones, self driven cars etc.
Automation of traffic systems, farming operations, fleet management and health care. These are often used together in “smart cities”.
The future of IoT
Internet of things continues to grow in the mentioned uses and continues to find new uses with time. Its fast growth is imminent in future due to the convenience and efficiency itprovidess.
However, the concerns about unemployment, unlawful applications, excessive automation and risk of system failure must be seriously addressed to avoid any negative fallouts.
