1-1 Smartphone Research
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
Research the Apple iPhone, Google Pixel, or Samsung Galaxy S to learn the following:
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?
What kinds of outputs does a typical smartphone have? How are these outputs matched to our human senses (our body's inputs)?
What kinds of network connections is a typical smartphone capable of making? When or how are these different connections used?
