The phrase “Internet of Things” is widely credited to Kevin Ashton; he’s indicated that he coined the term in 1999 while at Proctor & Gamble, but it didn’t take off until 2009 with an article in RFID Journal. At a very basic level, “Internet of Things” means devices that can sense aspects of the real world — like temperature, lighting, the presence or absence of people or objects, etc. — and report that real-world data, or act on it. Instead of most data on the Internet being produced and consumed by people (text, audio, video), more and more information would be produced and consumed by machines, communicating between themselves to (hopefully) improve the quality of our lives.
A bathroom cabinet that lets you know when it’s running low on toilet paper could be worth its weight in gold.
Smart devices use Internet technologies like Wi-Fi to communicate with each other, your laptop, and sometimes directly with the cloud. Some also talk to a central hub that serves as control point for many different devices, like the Revolv. Ideally, owners can use that central access point from their smartphones and tablets, either at home or when they’re out and about.
This video will explained more about this amazing technology. Wacth it until the end and you will amazed with this things!
