The Internet of things (IoT) describes the

network of physical objects—“things”—that are

embedded with sensors, software, and other

technologies for the purpose of connecting and

exchanging data with other devices and systems

over the Internet.

A sensor is a device, module, machine, or

subsystem whose purpose is to detect

events or changes in its environment and

send the information to other electronics,

frequently a computer processor. A sensor

is always used with other electronics.
