Internet of Things (IoT) represents the next phase of the internet revolution. The technology makes it possible to bring physical devices to the digital realm. Internet of Things (IoT) is quite a vast concept, but we can summarize it as an ecosystem that consists of smart objects with networks, sensors and processing technologies. It integrates and works together to create an environment providing smart services to end-users. IoT is an emerging technology platform that enables various devices around us to communicate with each other through sensors, connected via the internet to make our lives easier. IOT make objects 'smart' by allowing them to transmit data and automating of tasks, without lack of any physical interference. In this paper we have discussed different applications of IoT for users, IoT advantages and research challenges. The main objective of this paper is to provide overview and usage of Internet of Things (IoT), recent development of IoT applications. Lastly the paper focuses on challenges involved in IOT.
