Report 2- Internet of Things (IoT)

Flashcard 1 Q: What is the Internet of Things (IoT)?

IoT is the concept that everyday devices can connect to the internet, communicate with each other, and share useful data.

Flashcard 2 Q: What are the three main steps in how IoT works?

Devices collect data via sensors
Data is transmitted over networks (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular)
Data is analyzed and used to trigger actions

Flashcard 3 Q: What role do sensors play in IoT devices?

Sensors gather specific environmental or behavioral data, such as temperature, motion, or heart rate.

Flashcard 4 Q: Where is IoT data typically sent for processing?

To centralized systems like cloud platforms or other connected devices.

Flashcard 5 Q: What types of actions can IoT systems perform after analyzing data?

They can send alerts, suggest actions, or act automatically (e.g., adjusting a thermostat).

Flashcard 6 Q: What are the main benefits of IoT for individuals?

Convenience, safety, and healthier living—e.g., fitness trackers help build better habits.

Flashcard 7 Q: How does IoT improve organizational efficiency?

By enabling real-time tracking, reducing guesswork, and lowering operational costs.

Flashcard 8 Q: What is an example of IoT improving business decision-making?

Businesses can monitor inventory in real time and make data-driven decisions.

Flashcard 9 Q: How does IoT contribute to community-level improvements?

It supports sustainability and quality of life—e.g., smart grids balance energy use and reduce waste.

Flashcard 10 Q: Why is IoT considered a “behind-the-scenes” system?

Because it quietly reshapes daily life, making homes, workplaces, and cities smarter and more responsive.
