Examples of IoT
Imagine that you own a TV that can establish a communication channel with “smart light bulbs”. In this way, these bulbs would be able to provide the optimal brightness settings for the room in relation to the brightness and color settings of the TV screen.
Other examples include
– fitness bracelets that use GPS to tell you how many steps you have walked or how far you have run
– smart watches that check incoming mail, for example
