Kevin Ashton coined the term "internet of things" in 1999 and established the Auto-ID Center at MIT to research RFID and IoT technologies. He believed IoT could transform raw data into useful information to help optimize resource utilization and reduce waste on a global scale. Early IoT focused on using RFID sensors, smart technologies, and nanotechnologies to identify and track physical objects and collect data to detect changes in their status.

The iot gets a name
Kevin ashton coins the term “internet of things”
and establishes MIT’s auto-ID center, a global
research network of academic laboratories
focused on RFID and the iot.

5. • He belived IOT could “turn the world into
data” that could be used to make macro
decision On resource utilization.
• “information is a greate way to reduce
waste and increase efficiency, and that’s
really what the internet of things provides”
