iot stands for internet of things.The Internet of Things is the concept
of connecting any device (so long as it has an on/off switch) to the
Internet and to other connected devices. The IoT is a giant network of
connected things and people – all of which collect and share data about
the way they are used and about the environment around them.

includes an extraordinary number of objects of all shapes and sizes –
from smart microwaves, which automatically cook your food for the right
length of time, to self driving cars, whose complex sensors detect
objects in their path, to wearable fitness devices that measure your
heart rate and the number of steps you’ve taken that day, then use that
information to suggest exercise plans tailored to you.

transportation industry forever. Vehicles will drive on roads
automatically without any manual activity. The hope for self-driving
cars is to prevent accidents, relieve traffic jams etc. Lower carbon
emissions is also a benefit for the environment.
Smart Healthcare
Healthcare
industry has IoT based solutions that solve the needs by integrating
with devices, hardware, software and smart connectivity. IoT technology
can help by sending reminders of when to take medication and to keep
track of someone’s heart rate, sleeping hours, sufficient diet, exercise
habits etc. These advancements allow both the doctors and the patient
himself to take an active role in the health management and better
treatment.
Smart Parking
With
