In a nutshell, IoT refers to the internet-connected connection of physical items or devices known as &#8220;Things&#8221; with sensors, software, apps, servers, and other devices. It allows data to flow between devices and sensors, and it allows devices to interact, collaborate, and learn from one other&#8217;s experiences in the same way that humans do.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">There are already more than 26 billion of these networked devices in use, with the number expected to rise to 75 billion by 2025.
