The document discusses the Internet of Things (IoT). It defines IoT as connecting everyday devices to the internet to collect and exchange data. An IoT system works by sensors collecting environmental or user input data and sending it to the cloud via connections like WiFi or Bluetooth. In the cloud, software analyzes the data and sends processed information to users. The major components of an IoT system are devices/sensors to collect data, a gateway to communicate between sensors and cloud, cloud for storage and processing, analytics to analyze data, and a user interface for user interaction.
