The document discusses the internet of things (IoT) which connects devices together through unique identifiers and allows them to transfer data over a network without human interaction. It describes IoT as having dynamic and self-adapting capabilities and heterogeneous devices that use various communication protocols. The document also outlines the four stages of IoT - sensors/actuators that collect data, an internet gateway that converts analog to digital, edge IT for further processing, and data centers/cloud for more analysis and storage.

The 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.
