    • Sensors are fitted everywhere across devices, collecting real-time data consistently
    • Types of IoT sensors include:
      • Acceleration/Tilt
      • Ambient Light/Machine vision/Optical
      • Leaks/Levels
      • Vibration
      • Humidity/Moisture/Water
      • Electric
      • Position/Proximity
      • Motion/Velocity/Displacement
      • Magnetic
      • Chemical/Gas
      • Temperature
      • RFID/NFC
      • Acoustic/Sound
      • Force
      • Ultrasounds/Radio
      • Flow

    History of IoT

    • 1990: John Romkey creates the first IoT device, a toaster controlled with a computer
    • 1999: Kevin Ashton coins the term "internet of things"
    • 2000: LG introduces the first connected refrigerator
    • 2008: The world's first IoT conference is held in Zurich, Switzerland
