ITPEC IP April 2026 Question 98
Which of the following is the most appropriate description of IoT?
Explanation
Sensor-equipped devices connecting directly to the Internet and exchanging information — that is the IoT (Internet of Things).
In the IoT, physical things such as meters, home appliances, vehicles and factory equipment carry sensors and communication functions. They send the data they collect over the Internet and receive instructions back, so the things can be monitored and controlled remotely and their data analysed.
Answer (b)
Why not others:
- •(a) — a learning mechanism in artificial intelligence is machine learning, such as deep learning
- •(c) — functions and procedures made public so other programs can use a software's features form an API (application programming interface)
- •(d) — a tool that streamlines routine work with a software robot is RPA (robotic process automation)
Key rule: IoT is things, not people, on the Internet: physical devices with sensors that send and receive data by themselves.
