What is Internet of Things (IoT)?

The Internet of Things (IoT) is like having all your toys talk to each other and work together.

Imagine you have a robot dog that can run around, a smart lamp that turns on when it gets dark, and a fridge that tells you when you’re out of milk. These are not just regular toys, they're smart devices because they can send messages or do things on their own, like a real friend.

Smart devices have tiny computers inside them that let them talk to other devices over the internet. When your robot dog sees you, it sends a message to your smart lamp, and poof, the room lights up just for you! It's like having a team of friends who all know what to do without asking.

The Internet of Things makes life easier because everything can work together. You can even control your toys from another room or while you're at school, using your phone or tablet, just like sending a text message to your best friend.
