Introduction
Internet of Things is a set of centralised systems which do not need human-to-
human or human-to-system interaction for communicating with any other system.
They have one central system which controls all the sub systems and help them to
send or receive data to each other using internet without any human interaction.
IoT is one of the latest technology which plays a crucial role in modern era. It
reduces the work pressure for humans in each and every sector like home, driving,
production, service sector and other.

IoT is a huge and trending sector of IT which also uses concepts of Artificial
Intelligence. It has use in each and every sector of businesses and also helps in daily
routine of life (Zhang and Galletta, 2015). Along with this it has many advantages
and disadvantages which are discussed below:-
IoT is a group of machines and system, which generates a machine-to-machine
communication as per the commands received from central system. For example, in
a production house of ice-cream, a hub of machinery has been installed which uses
IoT, and a command for producing ice-cream get instructed to central machine.
