Answer 1

d. the Internet of Things
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of physical objects or “things” embedded with sensors, processors, software, and network connectivity capability to enable them to exchange data with the manufacturer, operator, and other connected devices. In theory, the IoT would enable us to connect almost any device with an on/off switch to a network—automobiles, coffee makers, components of an aircraft engine, heart monitor implants, packing labels, ingestible pills, wearable devices, and even highway sensors that can warn of traffic and hazardous road conditions. The IoT also includes cloud services, which enable the collection and analysis of data so people can process the data and take appropriate action via mobile apps.
