The Internet of Things (IoT), sometimes referred to as the Internet of Objects, IoT is basically a complex network that seamlessly connects people and things together through the Internet. Theoretically, anything that can be connected (smart watches, cars, homes, thermostats, vending machines, servers…) and will be connected in the near future using sensors and RFID tags. This allows connected objects to continuously send data over the Web and from anywhere. The first time the term was used in 1999 by Kevin Ashton, the creator of the RFID standard.
