❖ The history of IoT can be traced back to the 1990s when 8. User Interference

researchers at MIT began exploring the idea of connecting everyday

objects to the internet.
❖ Since then, the technology has advanced significantly with the
introduction of wireless sensors, cloud computing, and machine
learning algorithms.
❖ An important milestone for IoT is the widespread adoption of RFID
tags, which exchange data with radio frequency identification
(RFID) by using radio waves.
ADVANTAGES OF IOT
The Internet of Things (IoT) divides connected devices into three
categories: consumer, enterprise, and public spaces. It also incorporates
security, which involves protecting physical components, applications,
data, and network connections.
 PROS: DISADVANTAGES OF IOT
· Provides accessibility of information
As with any technology, IoT also comes with its risks. IoT devices
· Improves communication
are vulnerable to cyber-attacks and data breaches, which can compromise
· Saves time and money
users' privacy and security.
· Increased productivity
· Smart cities
CONS:
· Entrepreneurial benefits
