New Delhi, June 26 -- 1. "Things" not "people": While the full form is Internet of Things, it's focus is on "things" rather than "people".

In a forest any device may transmit data related to wildlife, weather etc. A wristband may also transmit information to a hospital on information related to temperature or sleep.

2. AI and ML are a great help: The amount of data that IoT devices can transmit is huge. That's why going through it may be a mammoth task. Algorithms, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning is a great help in sifting through that data and making sense of it all....
