Most people already carry around an IoT device – a smartphone. A smartphone has an impressive set of inputs, outputs, and network connections packed into a small but highly-capable computing device.

YOUR TASK

  1. What kinds of inputs (such as sensors, etc.) does a typical smartphone have to gather or receive data from the environment or a user? What are these inputs used for?

  2. What kinds of outputs does a typical smartphone have? How are these outputs matched to our human senses (our body's inputs)?

  3. What kinds of network connections is a typical smartphone capable of making? When or how are these different connections used?

Research the , , or to learn the following:

Use this to record your research findings. (Hint: Look for the technical specs listed on the smartphone webpages.)
