Introduction

INTERNET OF THINGS
Internet of Things (IoT)

2
A Few IoT Facts
The phrase ‘Internet of Things’ was first used in 1999.
First Article about IoT in 2004 from MIT researchers called I0 (Internet 0).

Why it is important to our future?


Optimistic prediction: 7 trillion wireless devices for
7 billion people by 2020

Does it exist now?


growing rapidly…

3
Birth of IoT?

4
A Hyped Trend?
Sensor cost is going down.

And it’s not just sensors that is getting cheaper!


A Hyped Trend?
If we take a look at the cost of devices..

IoT won’t go away anytime soon.


Past 10 years

Prohibitively expensive!
Last 5 years
Cheaper for adoption, easier to use.
Current cost

Much cheaper and it’s still going down!


The cloud
Cloud computing is the on-demand availability of
computer system resources, especially data storage and
computing power, without direct active management by
the user.
The term is generally used to describe data centers
available to many users over the Internet
