In simple words IOT is a network of connected devices equipped with softwares and sensors that makes these devices to collect and exchange information with each other.

Think for a while that how many device at your home is connected with internet.One is your main router, your mobile phone, your laptop and may be some smart devices like streaming dongle, temprature monitor ,security system.IOT is a combination of all such devices.All these devices communicate with each other and works as a automated system.
