The idea of adding sensors and intelligence to basic objects was discussed throughout the 1980s and 1990s (and there are arguably some much earlier ancestors), but apart from some early projects - including an internet-connected vending machine - progress was slow simply because the technology wasn't ready. What is the history of the Internet of Things?

A smartwatch or a fitness band or other wearable device might be counted as an IoT device, however.

For this reason, a PC isn't generally considered an IoT device and neither is a smartphone - even though the latter is crammed with sensors. The term IoT is mainly used for devices that wouldn't usually be generally expected to have an internet connection, and that can communicate with the network independently of human action.

Some larger objects may themselves be filled with many smaller IoT components, such as a jet engine that's now filled with thousands of sensors collecting and transmitting data back to make sure it is operating efficiently. An IoT device could be as fluffy as a child's toy or as serious as a driverless truck. Pretty much any physical object can be transformed into an IoT device if it can be connected to the internet to be controlled or communicate information.Ī lightbulb that can be switched on using a smartphone app is an IoT device, as is a motion sensor or a smart thermostat in your office or a connected streetlight.

The Internet of Things? It's really a giant robot and we don't know how to fix it.

The Internet of Things is making the fabric of the world around us more smarter and more responsive, merging the digital and physical universes. Connecting up all these different objects and adding sensors to them adds a level of digital intelligence to devices that would be otherwise dumb, enabling them to communicate real-time data without involving a human being. Thanks to the arrival of super-cheap computer chips and the ubiquity of wireless networks, it's possible to turn anything, from something as small as a pill to something as big as an aeroplane, into a part of the IoT. The Internet of Things, or IoT, refers to the billions of physical devices around the world that are now connected to the internet, all collecting and sharing data.
