Internet of Things, or IoT, is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals or people that are provided with unique identifiers (UIDs) and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction.
Some of the emerging trends in the Internet of Things include the use of connected devices to improve the efficiency of energy use, the use of connected devices to improve the safety and security of buildings and homes, and the use of connected devices to improve the efficiency of transportation systems.
