Internet of Things 物联网

The Internet of Things (IOT) is a way to connect things and people together in an Internet-like structure. It is based on the current Internet and new technologies, such as mobile communications, smart computing, cloud technology, radio frequency identification and quick response codes. In IOT networks, every object or person carries specific data about location and status. This information can be exchanged on the Internet to give others an accurate picture in real time. Through this network, people can extend communication and monitoring potential to include everyday items such as razors, shoes and packages in distant places. New technologies, such as nanotechnology, accelerate these developments. One strength of the technology is that things can be manipulated remotely and conveniently.
