IoT is rapidly growing. As the next phase of the internet's growth, it's more essential than ever to recognize the various possible areas for IoT applications, as well as the research challenges that come with them. IoT is anticipated to penetrate virtually all aspects of daily life, from smart cities to healthcare, smart agriculture, logistics and retail, and even smart living and smart surroundings. Despite the fact that current IoT-enabling technologies have vastly improved in recent years, there are still a slew of issues that need to be addressed. Many research problems are expected to develop since the IoT idea is based on heterogeneous technology. IoT is a key study subject for studies in several related domains such as information technology and computer science since it is so wide and affects almost every aspect of our lives. As a result, the internet of things is paving the way for new types of research to be conducted. This article addresses future uses and research difficulties as well as the current progress of IoT technology.
TopIntroduction
Information, whereas the internet is an interconnected system that deals with physical elements that differ in their capacities to process, to sensor and to control and to communicate over the internet (Raun, 2016). Thus, the main objective of the Internet of Things is to make it possible for objects to be connected with other objects, individuals, at any time or anywhere using any network, path or service. The Internet of Things (IoT) is widely seen as the next phase in the growth of the internet. In order to achieve numerous different objectives, IoT will make it feasible for common items to connect to the internet. The amount of devices that might be included in IoT is currently estimated at just 0.6% (Ryan, 2017). By 2020, however, over 50 billion gadgets are projected to be connected to the internet.
The internet has evolved from a basic network of computers to a network of diverse devices, whereas IoT functions as a network of various “connected” devices, or a network of networks (Miraz, 2018), as illustrated in Fig. Smartphones, automobiles, industrial systems, cameras, toys, buildings, household appliances, industrial systems, and a plethora of other items may now all communicate data through the Internet. These devices can perform smart reorganisations, tracing, positioning, control, real-time monitoring, and process control regardless of their size or function.
In recent years, Internet-capable gadgets have spread significantly. Although its commercial effects were most important in the area of consumer electronics; in particular the smartphone revolution and the interest in wearable devices (watches, headsets etc.), connecting people has become a fragment of a larger movement towards the combination of digital and physical worlds. With all this in mind, it should continue to expand its reach for the number of devices and functions that can be operated by the Internet of Things (IoT).
This is obvious from the ambiguity in the phrase of “Things” which makes it impossible to specify the ever-growing limitations of the IoT (Borgia, 2016). While commercial success continues to emerge, the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to provide an almost endless supply of potential, not just in industry but also in research. As a result, the course examines the many prospective areas for IoT domain applications as well as the research difficulties that come with them.

The internet of Things' potential applications are not only many but also diversified, since they pervade almost every element of people's, institutions', and society's everyday lives. According to (Patel, 2016), IoT applications span a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, healthcare, agriculture, smart cities, security, and disaster relief, among others.
