Internet Of Things

History of Internet of Things

The fundamental idea of a network of intelligent devices was originally proposed in 1982, when a modified Coca-Cola vending machine at Carnegie Mellon University became the first ARPANET-connected device, reporting its inventory and the temperature of freshly filled drinks.

In the 1991 study on ubiquitous computing by Mark Weiser, "The modern view of the IT was created by the computer of the twenty-first century as well as academic institutions like Ubicomp and PerCom." Reza Raji characterised the idea in 1994's IEEE Spectrum as "integrating and automating anything from home appliances to huge factories by sending little data packets to a large number of nodes."

Numerous businesses put forward alternatives between 1993 and 1997, such as Microsoft's at Work or Novell's NEST. When Bill Joy included device-to-device communication in his vision for the area, it gained traction. "The Six Webs concept" was introduced in 1999 at the World Economic Forum in Davos.

 

The name "Internet of Things" and its concept originally emerged in a lecture given by Peter T. Lewis in September 1985 in Washington, D.C., at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation's 15th Annual Legislative Weekend.

 

According to Lewis, "The Internet of Things," or IOT, is the fusion of people, processes, and technology with connectable objects and sensors to allow for remote status monitoring, control, and trend analysis of such objects.

In 1999, Kevin Ashton of Procter & Gamble and later of MIT's Auto-ID Centre independently invented the phrase "Internet of things," but he prefers the term "Internet for things." 211  Radio-frequency identification (RFID) was seen at that time as being crucial to the Internet of Things, which would enable computers to control all individual things.

The primary goal of the Internet of Things is to enable new types of communication between people and things as well as among things themselves by integrating short-range mobile transceivers into a variety of devices and everyday items.

2004 saw Cornelius Pete Peterson, CEO of Net Silicon, stated that "IT] devices will rule the next era of information technology, and networked devices will eventually surpass the number of networked PCs and workstations in terms of popularity and significance." Peterson anticipated that the technology would be mostly used for industrial controls and medical devices.

 

"Simply defining the Internet of Things as the period in which there were more connected things or devices than there were people According to Cisco Systems, the majority of the population was born between 2008 and 2009, increasing from 0.08 in 2003 to 1.84 in 2010.

What is Internet of Things ?

The "internet of things," often known as "loT," is a network of connected computing devices, mechanical and digital machinery, items, animals, or people who may exchange data across a network without the need for human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction.

 

The term "thing" refers to any natural or artificial object that can be given an Internet Protocol (IP) address and has the ability to transfer data over a network, including people with implanted heart monitors, farm animals with biochip transponders, cars with built-in tyre pressure monitors, and other examples.

Organisations in a range of industries are increasingly utilising IoT to run more effectively, better understand customers to provide increased customer care, improve decision-making, and raise the value of the business.

Why is Internet of Things so important ? 

LoT has developed into one of the most significant 21st-century technologies in recent years. Smooth communication between people, processes, and things is now possible because of the ability to connect commonplace items like kitchen appliances, cars, thermostats, and baby monitors to the internet via embedded devices.

 

Physical things can share and gather data with little assistance from humans thanks to low-cost computers, the cloud, big data, analytics, and mobile technologies. Digital systems are capable of capturing, observing, and modifying every interaction between connected objects in today's hyperconnected environment. The physical and digital worlds collide, and together they work.
