This document provides an overview of the Internet of Things (IoT). It begins with a brief history, noting that the term was coined in 1999 and that the first IoT device, a programmable toaster, was created in 1990. It then defines IoT as connecting devices to the internet and provides examples. It describes four main types of IoT networks and discusses advantages like automation and monitoring as well as disadvantages such as lack of standards and potential job losses. Finally, it outlines the complex IoT product lifecycle from idea to testing to ongoing use.

Internet of things

3. History of IoT
The term “Internet of Things” was coined in 1999 by the computer
scientist “Kevin Ashton”.
1990-1993 – World's first IoT device invented
In 1990, John Romkey created the first IOT device – a toaster that could be
turned on and off over the Internet. By 1991, he had automated the entire
process by adding a crane system that inserted the bread as well

5. Definition of IoT
The internet of things is a technology that allows us to add a
device to an inert object
For example: vehicles, plant electronic systems, roofs, lighting, etc.
Smart Mobiles, smart refrigerators, smartwatches, smart fire alarms,
smart door locks, smart bicycles, medical sensors, fitness trackers,
smart security system, etc., are few examples of IoT products.
Some examples of IoT in everyday life:-

6. Types of IoT Networks
1. Cellular
2. Local and Personal Area
Networks (LAN/PAN)
3. Low Power Wide Area
Networks (LPWAN)
4. Mesh Networks

7. Advantages of IoT devices:-
There are several advantages of these smart devices and some of them are given below:-
 IoT encourages the interaction between devices called as a machine to machine
interaction.
 It provides good automation and control.
 IoT possesses strong monitoring feature.
 It saves a lot of time.
 Increased efficiency and time-saving.
 With good features make a better quality of life.

8. Disadvantages of IoT:-
There are several advantages, there are certain disadvantages too.
 Internet of Things devices does not have any international
compatibility standard.
 They may become highly complex resulting in failure..
 Reduced safety for users.
 Reduction in the employment of manual tasks thus resulting in job
reductions.
 Internet of Things device may take control of life in due course of
time with increasing AI technology.

10. IoT Product Lifecycle
 The IoT product development journey is long and challenging.
 It involves taking an IoT product from an idea to a thoroughly tested prototype
and detailed design, including a complete bill of material (BoM) and design for
manufacturing and assembly.
 But IoT product lifecycle doesn’t stop there. After a product is launched, and it
is taken into use, its battery life, wireless performance, and compatibility with
the ecosystem and other devices are put into a test every day.
