Maybe you've heard about the Internet of Things (loT). It's the network of physical objects (or "things") that connect to the Internet and each other and have the ability to collect and exchange data. It includes a variety of devices with sensors, vehicles, buildings, and other items that contain electronics, software, and sensors.
