1. Essential Differences

The essence of IoT lies in perception and service provision.

The essence of the Internet lies in online information and content dissemination and sharing based on mobile phones and PCs.

2. Data Differences

Data in IoT can be traded, holding immense value for big data and cloud computing.

Internet information can disappear and be recreated, with limited value for big data and cloud computing.

3. Transmission Differences

IoT achieves data transmission and computation through existing networks such as the Internet, radio and television networks, and communication networks.

The Internet connects all accessible computers and machines to the same network.

The connection between the two:

IoT is a ubiquitous network built on the Internet. The important foundation and core of IoT technology still rely on the Internet. By integrating various wired and wireless networks with the Internet, it accurately and in real-time transmits information about objects.

Additional Information:

1. The Internet is about information connection and virtual connections, while IoT is about device-to-device connections or terminal connections.
