🔍 Tech Spotlight: “What Is the Internet of Things (IoT)?”

You’ve probably heard of smart homes, smartwatches, and even smart fridges—but what makes them “smart”?

It’s all thanks to the Internet of Things (IoT) — a network of everyday devices connected to the internet, allowing them to collect and exchange data.

💡 Imagine this:
➡️ Your fridge alerts your phone when you’re low on milk.
➡️ Your car sends maintenance alerts directly to your mechanic.
➡️ Your irrigation system waters your garden only when the soil is dry.

That’s IoT in action — and it’s changing how we live, work, and even farm. 🌱🚗🏠

👀 Want to know how IoT is already shaping industries in Africa (yes, including Zambia)?
Drop a 💬 “IoT” in the comments and we’ll break it down in the next post.

> 💡 3 Common Mistakes People Make When Ordering Things Online (and How to Avoid Them)

A lot of people lose money or get disappointed simply because they didn’t know these:

✅ 1. Not Checking Seller Ratings
Before buying anything, always check the seller’s feedback. A rating below 4.5 stars? Red flag!

✅ 2. Ignoring Shipping Times
Some items take 30+ days to arrive. Always check the estimated delivery time before paying.

✅ 3. Using Unsafe Payment Methods
Avoid paying through direct bank transfers or unverified links. Use virtual dollar cards or secure platforms.

These are just a few of the tips I’ll be teaching in my upcoming course on how to order things online — safely and smartly.

🛒 Whether you want to buy for yourself or start reselling, this is a skill worth learning.
