Study Notes

Introduction

The Internet of Things (IoT) connects everyday physical objects to the internet, enabling them to gather, share, and analyze data without human intervention
Devices include home appliances, fitness trackers, industrial machines, and vehicles
IoT connects to various sectors like smart homes, healthcare, wearables, industry, manufacturing, smart cities, and agriculture

IoT Components

Thing/Device: Contains sensors and actuators, collecting environmental data and acting based on collected sensor data
Gateway: Gathers data from sensors and sends it to the cloud
Cloud: A network of servers available 24/7, storing and processing data
Analytics: Analyzing the collected data
User Interface: User-end application for monitoring and controlling data

History

IoT's origins trace back to the early 1960s with ARPANET, the forerunner of the modern internet
In the 1970s, the concept of connecting computers and machines gained traction
By 1980, local area networks (LANs) enabled real-time communication and data sharing
A Coca-Cola vending machine in 1982, connected to the internet, provides an early example
In 1999, Kevin Ashton introduced the term "Internet of Things"
Radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology enabled tracking goods through supply chains
Public interest in IoT boomed by 2008, with connected devices exceeding global population

Security and Privacy in IoT

IoT devices are vulnerable to cyberattacks due to connectivity and data collection
