2. KevinAshton ( in 1999), British Entrepreneur
Geared to improve automation in nearly all
imaginable fields through
connectivity and networks
3. IoT is often defined as; “the network of
physical objects or ‘things’ embedded with
electronics, software, sensors, and network
connectivity, which enables these objects to
collect and exchange data”
4. From Machine to machine (M2M) to IoT
There will be a HUGE shift in interaction among
non-living objects through sensors and web-activity
5. Cloud-based storage
The sensors stored through cloud will be the
main starting points in the interactions
6. Through Internet ofThings, there could possibly be
an interaction between CARS and STREETS!
Imagine!
7. 87% have not heard of the term ‘Internet of
Things’
ATMs are known to be the first IoT objects, in
1974
Back in 2008, more objects have already been
linked in the Internet than people
In 2015, there will already be 4.9 billion
connected things
In 2020, people are predicting that there will be
more than 50 billion connected Internet things
8. As a personal reflection, I must admit that
this is the first time I’ve heard of the Internet
ofThings. Honestly speaking, it’s so futuristic,
yet at the same time so realistic.
Development is so critical and essential in the
world of technology, that perhaps, there
should always be new discoveries made every
once in a while, maybe every single day.
9. The next two years are crucial for
development.Though still imperfect, it will
be more recognized and it will discussed in
the mainstream, I think. And little do we
know, 5 or 7 years down the line, it will
already be upon us, without us even knowing.
It’s all so scary, yet amazing. It gives me
goose bumps just knowing that this kind of
technology is already dawning.
