Internet of Things (IoT) is a global infrastructure worldwide which links objects and enables data generation and sharing of this data. IoT is considered as one of the most important areas of future technology and gets attention considerably by researchers and practitioners in recent years. Applications presented by IoT makes possible a large number of developments, but very few can be used currently. With rapid advances in this system technology, successful implementations will continue to emerge to improve the quality of life in many areas. In this study, IoT is examined in general terms and its applications, advantages and disadvantages are reviewed.

The Internet of Things (IoT), sometimes referred to as the Internet of Objects, will change everything—including ourselves. This may seem like a bold statement, but consider the impact the Internet already has had on education, communication, business, science, government, and humanity. Clearly, the Internet is one of the most important and powerful creations in all of human history. Now consider that IoT represents the next evolution of the Internet, taking a huge leap in its ability to gather, analyze, and distribute data that we can turn into information, knowledge, and, ultimately, wisdom. In this context, IoT becomes immensely important. Already, IoT projects are under way that promise to close the gap between poor and rich, improve distribution of the world’s resources to those who need them most, and help us
