The concept of the Internet of Things (IoT) was first introduced in 1982 when a modified Coca-Cola vending machine at Carnegie Mellon University became the first internet-connected appliance, capable of reporting its inventory and drink temperatures. However, the term “Internet of Things” was coined later by Kevin Ashton in 1999 while working on RFID technology at Procter & Gamble. Ashton envisioned a system where physical objects could be connected to the internet, enabling data exchange without human intervention.
IoT’s foundational ideas trace back to earlier technologies like ARPANET (1960s) and embedded systems, but its modern identity emerged in the late 1990s–early 2000s with advancements in wireless networks, sensors, and miniaturized computing. By the 2010s, IoT gained momentum with smart devices (e.g., wearables, home automation) and industrial applications (Industry 4.0).
Key Milestones:
1982: First internet-connected device (Coke machine).
1999: Term “IoT” coined by Kevin Ashton.
2008–2010: Commercial IoT adoption (e.g., smart grids, Nest thermostat).
2010s–Present: Exponential growth with 5G, AI integration, and smart cities.
IoT’s evolution reflects a blend of innovation across decades, but its formal recognition as a paradigm
