First of all, What is Internet Of Things?

First of all, we may ask ourselves this question

In simple words, IoT is a concept where any device is connected to other devices over the internet and has an on and off switch. IoT is a massive network connecting devices with people with the help of internet. The data is exchanged within this network and is used to determine how the devices will be used in certain environments.

These devices include coffee makers, washing machines, TVs, music system, wearables, etc. Basically, it includes any electronic device that can be controlled through another device. This type of communication is called machine-to-machine (M2M)communication. Any device that is being controlled by the humans will take commands and pass them to the right devices and with minimum human intervention, the tasks are completed.

The concept of IoT is being used by homes as well as offices to monitor whatever is happening inside and outside. In this way, people increase the safety of their families and businesses can improve productivity and reduce any wastage. Other ways IoT solutions are being used is in smart cars. Driverless cars are the new goal for car companies such as Tesla, BMW, Google, etc. They are using multiple technologies to invent something as solid as driverless cars.

The IoT applications in healthcare industry are playing a key role. The USA is leading in using IoT applications for healthcare by providing immediate assistance during an emergency, virtual nurses and doctors and other facilities.

Introduction of Internet Of Things to the world

It was as early as 1982 when the idea to establish a network of smart devices was first discussed. Only to compliment that, Carnegie Mellon University’s Coke Vending Machine became the first appliance connected to internet. The function of the network established was to inform the inventory if the drinks inside were cold or hot. Continuing with the glory of innovation, academic platforms like PerCom and UbiComp were outlined with the vision of IoT as early as 1994.But earlier in 1991, the Ubiquitous Computing paper by Mark Weiser carried similar ideas and was named “Computer of the 21st Century. IEEE Spectrum was the ideological construct that was proposed by Reza Raji in the year of 1994. Essential but little packets of data will be received by comparatively larger set of nodes which will in turn automate as well as integrate each and every thing starting from appliances used at home to establishment of internet connectivity in bigger factories and organisations.
