INTERNET OF THINGS (IoT)
Can you imagine a fridge which checks its egg tray and reminds you to buy eggs in your mobile phone or orders the nearby grocery store to supply eggs to your home; an air conditioner that can be switched on or off using your mobile phone; or a car that automatically reminds you about filling fuel as you approach a fuel pump? This is being made possible using Internet of Things (IoT). IoT is the concept of connecting all devices like mobile phones, fridges, cars, air conditioners, lamps, wearable devices, etc. To the internet. Each device is provided with a unique IP address which identifies it allows it to transfer data over Internet without human intervention. The huge increase in the number of IP addresses due to the implementation of IPv6 supports the introduction of this technology. The IoT can be used to monitor health of patients and inform the doctor about an urgency, applied to things which helps us reduce wastage like power, water, etc. and improve the way we work and live
