The Internet of Things (IoT) consists of web-enabled devices that collect and share data using embedded sensors and communication hardware. Popular examples include devices that provide assistance, save time, monitor health, improve quality of life, and enhance home security. While the IoT provides advantages, it also raises privacy, security, compatibility, and employment issues. Over the past few years, cheaper components and more accessible internet have led to the rise of connected devices and changed how technology integrates into our daily lives. The IoT continues growing but also risks automating jobs and making people overly reliant on technology.
