If you’ve been keeping up with technology, you have probably heard of the Internet of Things <\/em>(IoT). This sounds a lot like one of those buzzwords that have phrases like, “It will revolutionize everything”. Well, today we’re going to talk about the actual Internet of Things and how it is<\/em> going to change everything.<\/p>\n

To understand the Internet of Things, you have to understand what the Internet<\/em> is. The Internet is one of the most complicated things ever created by people, but we can narrow the Internet down to a pretty understandable description. The Internet is a bunch of websites that people can access! That’s (pretty much) it; someone hosting a website, and people going to that website. That’s the internet, but on a practically infinite scale.<\/p>\n

So what does that make the Internet of Things? Well, the Internet of Things is the connectivity between everyday objects. This doesn’t really help anyone, so having an example is a better.<\/p>\n

Imagine setting your alarm to wake up in the morning. When the alarm goes off, your coffee starts brewing. The next day you set your alarm to a different time, and when the alarm goes off, coffee still starts brewing.<\/p>\n

That’s what the Internet of Things can do, connecting devices to each other. With the use of embedded systems connecting the world — animate and inanimate — is now becoming a possibility!<\/p>\n
