Introduction of IOT

Описание: The Internet of Things (IoT) represents one of the most transformative technological advancements of the 21st century. It refers to a network of interconnected physical objects — devices, vehicles, sensors, appliances, and machines — embedded with software, sensors, and connectivity that enable them to collect, exchange, and act upon data. IoT bridges the gap between the physical and digital worlds, creating intelligent environments capable of monitoring, decision-making, and automation without human intervention.
In essence, IoT transforms traditional “dumb” devices into smart, context-aware systems that communicate via the Internet, improving efficiency, productivity, and convenience in nearly every industry. From smart homes and healthcare monitoring to industrial automation and smart cities, IoT is reshaping how humans interact with technology and their environment.
2. Definition of IoT
The Internet of Things (IoT) can be defined as:
“A dynamic global network infrastructure with self-configuring capabilities based on interoperable communication protocols, in which physical and virtual ‘things’ have identities, physical attributes, and intelligent interfaces, and are seamlessly integrated into the information network.”
In simpler terms, IoT is about connecting devices and enabling them to communicate and collaborate for a common goal — often improving efficiency, safety, or convenience.
3. Evolution of IoT
The concept of interconnected devices dates back to the early days of the Internet. The term “Internet of Things” was first coined by Kevin Ashton in 1999 during his work at Procter & Gamble, referring to a system where the Internet is connected to the physical world through sensors.
The evolution of IoT can be divided into stages:
1990s: Emergence of RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) and early machine-to-machine (M2M) communication.
2000s: The proliferation of broadband Internet and wireless networks.
2010s: Rapid growth of smartphones, cloud computing, and smart sensors.
020s and Beyond: Integration with Artificial Intelligence (AI), 5G, Edge Computing, and Blockchain technologies to create intelligent, autonomous systems.
