We use the Internet a lot every day. We have lessons or watch videos online. We talk to friends through WeChat (微信). But those are not all.
In the future, we are going to connect (连接) everything around us to the Internet. We might connect the fridge (冰箱), the car, the house and even the whole city to the Internet. It is a big idea called the "Internet of Things" (IoT). With it, we can "talk" to our car and our house through the Internet. The car and the house can also "talk" to each other. How does this happen?
Your house knows when you are at home and when you are not. So in summer, it makes rooms cooler when you are in. And after you leave, it stops cooling down the rooms.
Your fridge can "remember" things, such as what you put in and take out of it. So it can send you emails with dinner ideas. Or it will buy things online for you when the food runs out!
You drive your car home. The car tells your house that you are five kilometers away. So the house turns on the lights and warms up before you go back.
You may fall asleep on the sofa when watching TV. Don't worry. Your smart watch can feel this. It can turn off the TV and lights for you.
With the idea of "IoT", life will become better and we can save time. Do you like it?
