What is IoT (Internet of Things) ?

The Internet of Things(IoT) is a network of connected devices which communicate over the Internet, and they do so autonomously, machine to machine, without the need for human intervention.

The first reference to the IoT was in 1982, when researchers at Carnegie Mellon University developed the world’s first IoT-enabled Coke Machine. Mark Weiser developed the concept further in the early 90s; and Kevin Ashton coined the term ‘Internet of Things’ around 1999.
