What does the term "smart technology" refer to?

The term "smart technology" refers to devices that utilize internet connectivity to send and receive data. This connectivity enables smart devices to communicate with each other and often with users, allowing them to perform tasks more efficiently and effectively. For instance, smart home devices can interact with a central hub or a smartphone app, enabling users to monitor and control them remotely. This use of the internet enhances functionality, such as automated updates, remote access, and the ability to integrate with other systems within the Internet of Things (IoT).

The other options do not align with the concept of smart technology. Devices that exclusively connect to Wi-Fi for streaming movies do not necessarily incorporate the broader capabilities that define smart technology, which includes data exchange and interactivity. Similarly, devices that only store data locally lack the essential connectivity feature of smart technology, and those that do not require internet access are also not considered smart, as their functionality is limited without the ability to connect and communicate.
