The embedded computing elements in IoT objects control how the physical objects behave, the utility that the
objects provide to the end user and the manner in which users interact with the objects. For example, household
appliances are now available that can automatically schedule repairs or routine service with minimal (or no) user intervention, wearable devices can track their wearers’ physical activity (to let them know whether they are leading
a healthy lifestyle) and automobiles have computerized navigation, accident prevention and fuel efficiency features.
