In the 21st century, electronic connectivity is a major component of everyday life. One expects to have mobile phone coverage and to have access to log a computer or tablet onto the internet. This connectivity enables users to keep track of personal affairs and conduct work from remote locations. Designers and manufacturers are also connecting many other products to the internet so their performance can be monitored and controlled externally. Examples include remote-controlled door locks and thermostats, shopping online using smartphones and electronic wallets, and tracking fleet trucks on the highway and in freight yards. Today, by placing sensors on animals such as sharks, researchers can study the migration and activities of wild animals. This 21st century phenomenon of electronic connectivity is known as the Internet of Things (IoT), which involves the internet, computers, software, network connectivity, sensors, and actuators. It enables the control of products and other transactions over the internet. This article further explains the Internet of Things and what you might see it perform in the near future.
