The term IoT or Internet of Thing is certainly familiar to the public. The use of technology in direct coexistence with all human activities has become daily consumption.
The rapid development of technology is very helpful for human activities, both in work and entertainment activities. A real example is the use of smartphones. In the past, cellphones only functioned as a 2-way communication tool, now through smartphones all human activities and needs can run more easily with the help of various features provided by smartphones.
The implementation of this IoT is increasingly felt during the Covid-19 pandemic. Where everyone is encouraged to reduce physical contact with other people, the use of technology for both communication, work and entertainment is increasing.
How not, now every human need can be easily obtained and fulfilled with the help of smartphones. Without the need for direct contact with other people, one can still work and communicate remotely.
The concept of IoT that is easy to implement has a positive impact on life during this Covid-19 pandemic. Every manual work is converted into a digital form that can be accessed not only by 1 or 2 people, but many people without limitation on the number, time, and place.
The benefits of this IoT in general include the following:
- Improve the efficiency of resource use
- Reducing workload
