The Internet of Things is actually an extension of the Internet, the terminal of the Internet is the computer (PC, server), we run all the programs, are computers and data processing and data transmission in the network, in addition to the computer, there is no other terminal (hardware) involved.
The essence of the Internet of Things is still the Internet, only that the terminal is no longer a computer (PC, server), but embedded computer systems and their supporting sensors. This is the inevitable result of the development of computer science and technology, the computer for human services present a variety of forms, such as wearable devices, environmental monitoring equipment, virtual reality equipment and so on. As long as there is hardware or products connected to the Internet, data interaction occurs, it is called the Internet of Things.
The Internet of Things employment opportunities are very many, because the Internet of Things technology is very widely used, for example:
1, smart home; smart home is the use of advanced computer technology, Internet of Things technology, communications technology, and furniture life with a variety of sub-systems organically combined, through the integrated management of the furniture life is more comfortable, convenient, effective, and safe.
2, Intelligent Transportation
3, Intelligent Healthcare
4, Smart Grid; Smart Grid is built on the basis of the traditional power grid set of sensing, communication, computing, decision-making and control as one of the integrated number of things composite system, by obtaining the grid nodes at all levels of the operating state of the resources and equipment, the hierarchical control of the management and deployment of power, to achieve energy flow, Information flow and business flow of a high degree of integration, improve the stability of power system operation, in order to maximize the efficiency of equipment utilization, improve safety and reliability, energy saving and emission reduction, improve the quality of power supply to users, and improve the utilization efficiency of renewable energy.
5, intelligent logistics

The Internet of Things (IoT) is an important part of the new generation of information technology and an important stage of development in the era of "informationization". Its English name is: "Internet of things (IoT)". As the name suggests, IoT is the Internet of things. This has two meanings: one, the core and foundation of the Internet of things is still the Internet, is based on the Internet extension and expansion of the network; the second, its user side extends and extends to any item and the item between, information exchange and communication, that is, things are connected to each other.
The Internet of Things is widely used in the convergence of networks through intelligent sensing, identification technology and pervasive computing and other communication sensing technologies, and is therefore known as the third wave of the development of the world's information industry following the computer, the Internet. IoT is the application expansion of the Internet, rather than IoT is network, IoT is business and application. Therefore, application innovation is the core of the development of the Internet of Things, and innovation 2.0 centered on user experience is the soul of the development of the Internet of Things.
Live point definition:The use of local networks or the Internet and other communication technologies to sensors, controllers, machines, people and things, etc. through a new way to link together, the formation of people and things, things and things linked to achieve informatization, remote management and control and intelligent network. The Internet of Things is an extension of the Internet, which includes the Internet and all the resources on the Internet, compatible with all the applications of the Internet, but all the elements in the Internet of Things (all the devices, resources and communications, etc.) are personalized and private.
