10. A Brief History of IOT
• The Internet of Things, also known as IoT, has its roots in the late 1990s
and early 2000s, when various researchers and technology companies
started exploring the potential of connecting everyday objects to the
internet.
• The term “Internet of Things” was first used in 1999 by Kevin Ashton (a
British technologist) to describe a world where everyday objects are
connected to the internet and can share data between them. At the
time, the idea was still theoretical, and it would take several more years
for the technology to catch up with the vision.
11. A Brief History of IOT
• In the early 2000s, the development of wireless networks, such as Wi-Fi and
cellular networks, made it possible to connect more and more devices to the
internet. Around this time, some companies saw the importance of IoT and
started to develop devices that could connect to the internet at home.
• In the late 2000s and early 2010s, the growth of cloud computing and big data
analytics made it possible to collect, store, and analyze large amounts of data
from connected devices. This advance was a high catalyst for a bigger adoption
of Internet of Things products in more markets, such as industries,
manufacturing, healthcare, and transportation.
12. A Brief History of IOT
• This is a brief story of IoT. It serves as a way to understand since when this
technology has been active in the market. Nowadays, the IoT evolution has
gotten to such a point where there are billions of devices connected to the
internet in the world.
• Timeline of the IoT – when IoT was invented
• Let’s see a short timeline of the evolution of the Internet of Things from 1999
to 2021:
• 1999: Kevin Ashton coined the term “Internet of Things” while working at the
Auto-ID Center at MIT.
13. A Brief History of IOT
• 2000-2005: The development of wireless networks,
such as Wi-Fi and cellular networks, makes it possible
to connect more devices to the internet. Some
companies started to develop IoT products for homes.
• 2006: The launch of Amazon Web Services (AWS)
makes it easier for developers to build and scale IoT
applications.
14. A Brief History of IOT
• 2008: The release of the Android operating system
opens up new possibilities for connected devices
and the IoT.
• 2010-2012: Cloud computing and big data analytics
give a higher boost to data collecting, storage and
analysis.
15. A Brief History of IOT
• 2014: The IoT becomes a major topic at technology
conferences and events, and investment in IoT startups
begins to increase.
• 2015-2017: The launch of IoT platforms, such as AWS IoT
and Microsoft Azure IoT, makes it easier for developers to
build and deploy IoT applications. The number of
connected devices continues to grow, with billions of
devices now connected to the internet.
16. A Brief History of IOT
• 2018-2020: The implementation of new standards, such as 5G and Edge
computing (see IoT Edge), helps to improve the performance and
reliability of the IoT. The use of IoT devices in the industrial and
manufacturing sectors continues to increase, with many companies
adopting Industry 4.0 and the “smart factory” concept.
• 2021-present: The use of IoT in areas such as healthcare, agriculture,
transportation, retail, consumer electronics, and energy management
continues to increase, and the development of new technologies, such
as artificial intelligence and blockchain, is opening up new possibilities
for the IoT.
