IBM has defined the Internet of Things (IoT) as a network of connected devices, sensors, and other physical objects that are able to collect and exchange data using the Internet.
These devices are embedded with sensors and software that allow them to communicate with each other and with external systems, enabling them to sense, act, and interact with their surroundings in various ways.
The IoT can include a wide range of devices and systems, including smart homes, connected cars, industrial equipment, and medical devices, among others.
IBM has also highlighted the importance of using data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) to extract valuable insights from the data generated by these connected devices, which can help organizations to improve their operations and make better decisions.
