INTERNET OF THING: PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE

For those of you who aren't acquainted, the Internet of Things (IoT) refers to 'smart' objects – anything from home appliances, medical instrument to car – that can connect to a network to pass and receive data.

PAST

Despite the fact that IoT has been around for many years, with some evidence of it as early as 1832, it would have been unheard by anyone other than high level technology folk until recent years. It was in 1999 that Kevin Ashton, a co-founder of MIT Auto-ID Center, coined the term Internet of Things, naming what they were trying to bring to life: connecting things with things. However, the concept of IoT was first visible as early as the 1980s and 1990s.
