4.  The term “Internet of Things” was added in oxford dictionary
in August, 2013.
the term has been defined as :
“A proposed development of the internet in which
everyday objects have network connectivity, allowing
them to send and receive data.”
 National Intelligence Council(NIC) U.S. listed IoT in the six
technologies with potential impacts on U.S. interests out to
2025.
 IoT 2014, 4th international conference on internet of things,
going to be held on October,2014 at Cambridge, MA.

•A network of Physical Objects that can interact with
each other to share information and take Action.
•The term was first proposed by Kevin Ashton in 1999.
•The concept of IoT first became popular at the Auto-ID
center, MIT.
•IoT can also be pronounced as Machine to Machine
(M2M) Technology
