2. The Internet Of Things
The Internet Of Things was first proposed by Kevin Ashton, a
British technologist, in 1999, when he was Executive Director at MIT’s
Auto-ID Center, an RFID research consortium.
IoT connects various devices to a centralized network, which
analyzes information gathered to provide services resulting in
greater health, safety, and environmental benefits.
