Step-by-step explanation:
The term IoT is an acronym for 'Internet of Things' which refers to a modern technology that allows certain physical objects or “things” as we may call it to connect to the internet.
While Big Data refers not just to large data, but to an innovative field of technology that specializes in analyzing very large (big) data sets.
Consider the education industry, by means of IoT, it is possible for school management to effectively track their student's academic progress in real-time.
IoT and Big Data connected in the sense that, as these physical things (objects) communicate over the internet, a mass amount of data ("Big Data") is been generated which could then be analyzed using specialized software. In other words, they are mutually beneficial.
