What is the Internet of Things and why does it matter?

 

Transforming the way we live, work and play. IoT can make life easier for all of us. Imagine if you had smart devices in your home, your car, your workplace ─ or even on yourself.

The Internet of Things is now a reality due to the convergence of several technologies.

By combining IoT data with cognitive computing, businesses can extract valuable insights to improve virtually every aspect of their operations and enable innovative, new business models.

A “thing” is any object with embedded electronics that can transfer data over a network — without any human interaction.

Examples are wearable devices, environmental sensors, machinery in factories, devices in homes and buildings or components in a vehicle.
