ABSTRACT
The Internet of Things (IoT) technology has revolutionized all areas of human life, making it more
comfortable. IoT refers to the current trend of The Internet of Things (IoT) technology that has
revolutionized all areas of human life, making it more comfortable. IoT refers to the current trend of
connecting all kinds of physical objects to the Internet, even the most unexpected ones, without human
intervention, which constitutes a self-configurable network. The Internet of Things (IoT) enables
organizations to automate the process and improve service delivery via Internet technology and data
transfer to the cloud. Nowadays, the Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming a widely discussed topic among
researchers, specialists, and experts. It is seen as the next step in the evolution of the Internet. This paper
covers the application of (IoT) technology in three different areas: smart cities, health, and agriculture.
