Some key differences between the traditional Internet and the IoT
Scale: The IoT involves the connection of a much larger number of devices and systems than the traditional Internet, potentially numbering in the billions or even trillions.
Diversity of devices: The IoT connects a wide range of devices and systems, including not just computers and smartphones, but also industrial machinery, smart appliances, and wearable devices.
Automatic control and monitoring: The IoT allows for the automatic control and monitoring of connected devices, reducing the need for manual intervention.
Data collection and analysis: The IoT enables the collection and analysis of large amounts of data from connected devices, which can be used to optimize processes, improve decision-making, and identify trends and patterns.
