Internet of things

What is Internet of things?

The Internet of Things, or IoT for short, refers to the networking of objects and machines with the Internet. Sensors and actuators make it possible to collect and evaluate information about the environment. The data is then sent via the Internet to a central location where it is analyzed.

The idea of the Internet of Things is not new. As early as the 1990s, scientists were thinking about the possibility of networking devices together. Since then, however, the technology has developed rapidly and is now much more powerful than it was just a few years ago.

In the meantime, there are already a large number of application areas for the IoT. For example, sensors can be used in cars to better manage traffic or in factories to optimize production. More and more connected devices are also being used in the home, for example smart TVs or voice assistants.

In the future, the Internet of Things will become even more important. Experts predict that around 50 billion networked devices will be in operation by 2025. The Internet of Things is thus becoming an integral part of our society and our economy and will change our lives in many ways.
