We're entering a new era of computing technology that many are calling the Internet of Things (IoT). Machine to machine, machine to infrastructure, machine to environment, the Internet of Everything, the Internet of Intelligent Things, intelligent systems--call it what you want, but it's happening, and its potential is huge. We see the IoT as billions of smart, connected "things" (a sort of "universal global neural network" in the cloud) that will encompass every aspect of our lives, and its foundation is the intelligence that embedded processing provides. The IoT is comprised of smart machines interacting and communicating with other machines, objects, environments and infrastructures. As a result, huge volumes of data are being generated, and that data is being processed into useful actions that can "command and control" things to make our lives much easier and safer--and to reduce our impact on the environment. The creativity of this new era is boundless, with amazing potential to improve our lives. The following thesis is an extensive reference to the possibilities, utility, applications and the evolution of the Internet of Things. The Internet of Things (IOT) describes a kind of network which interconnects various devices with the help of internet. IOT assists to transmit data with among devices, tracing and monitoring devices and other things. IOT make objects 'smart' by allowing them to transmit data and automating of tasks, without lack of any physical interference. A health tracking wearable device is an example of simple effortless IOT in our life. A smart city with sensors covering all its regions using diverse tangible gadgets and objects all over the community and connected with the help of internet. Thus, IoT is paving the way for new dimensions of research to be carried out. This paper presents the recent development of IoT technologies and discusses future applications and research challenges.
