Explain the concept of the Internet of Things (IoT) and its key components.
The Internet of things (IoT) describes devices with sensors, processing ability, software and other technologies that connect and exchange data with other devices and systems over the Internet or other communications networks. Key components include electronics, communication, and computer science engineering.
Why is the term 'Internet of things' considered a misnomer?
The term 'Internet of things' is considered a misnomer because devices do not need to be connected to the public internet, they only need to be connected to a network, and be individually addressable.
What are some of the technologies that have contributed to the evolution of the Internet of Things (IoT)?
The field has evolved due to the convergence of multiple technologies, including ubiquitous computing, commodity sensors, increasingly powerful embedded systems, as well as machine learning.
How is IoT technology most commonly associated with the consumer market?
In the consumer market, IoT technology is most synonymous with 'smart home' products, including devices and appliances that support one or more common ecosystems, and can be controlled via devices associated with that ecosystem, such as smartphones and smart speakers.
In what other industry is IoT technology utilized?
IoT technology is also used in healthcare systems.
