4. What is IOT ? (continued)
 The term Internet of Things was first coined by Kevin Ashton in 1999 in the context of
supply chain management .
 However, in the past decade, the definition has been more inclusive covering wide range of
applications like healthcare, utilities, transport, etc. Many organizations and authors have
given different definitions of IOT overtime. And it has kept on becoming more and more
exhaustive with the advancement in technology. So, after so many years of evolution the
definition of IOT can be written as :-
Interconnection of sensing and actuating devices providing the ability to
share information across platforms through a unified framework, developing
a common operating picture for enabling innovative applications. This is
achieved by seamless ubiquitous sensing, data analytics and information
representation with Cloud computing as the unifying framework.

5. Why IOT ?
ꝋ Dynamic control of industry and daily life
ꝋ Integrating human society and physical systems.
ꝋ Control things in desired manner
ꝋ Universal internetworking of machines
ꝋ Acts as technologies integrator
ꝋ Provides connected health
ꝋ Smart cities
ꝋ Smart grids
ꝋ Smart retail
ꝋ Smart farming are some of the benefits of IOT

13. Future of IOT
According to analyst firm Gartner, there were 8.4 billion connected devices on earth in 2017
and expected to be 20.4 billion by 2020. more number of devices, more challenges we will be
required to face like:-
∆ Data management challenge
∆ Data mining challenge
∆ Privacy challenge
∆ Security challenge
∆ Chaos challenge
∆ Human health

14. Conclusions
IOT is among the most recent technological
developments by mankind. Whilst having numerous
advantages, it has also severe demerits and challenges.
More and more research is needed in this field to grow
wisely and sustainably.
Educational institutions, big corporate houses,
governments etc. are required to move together to cope
up with the social, economical and managerial aspects
of IOT.
