Internet of Things(IOT) History and Evolution Well Explained


The Internet of Things (IoT) is the network of physical objects/devices, buildings, vehicles and other items embedded with electronics, sensors, software programs, and network connectivity that make these objects/devices to exchange and collect data. The concept is to create a situation in which we don’t have to control each device separately, but rather have a top level control over a sophisticated chain of integrated events, over an ‘army’ of interconnected objects/devices that can communicate with each other and also with us.
The phrase Internet of Things has been in existence for the past 18 years. But the actual idea of connected devices had been around much longer, at least since the 70s. In those days, the idea was often referred to as “pervasive computing” or “embedded internet”. But the term “Internet of Things” was introduced by Kevin Ashton in the year 1999 during his work at Procter & Gamble. Ashton who works in supply chain optimization, wished to draw senior management’s attention to a different exciting technology called RFID. Since the internet was the newest trend in 1999 and because it some-how made sense, he named his presentation “Internet of Things”.
