The IoT is not new, and we would argue the Internet has always been an IoT. From its beginning, the Internet was a network of networks, connecting various government and academic computers together to share data. What has changed increasingly over the past two decades is the ability to connect remote and mobile “things” or “machines” or “assets” to the Internet or corporate Intranets through the use of wireless communications and low-cost sensors/computing/storage. In a sense, the Internet is expanding from a network of computers to a network of things. Or to reverse the order, almost every thing / asset/ object in the world is transitioning to become a computer that happens to be connected to a network using the IP protocol.
