IoT : Major Innovations
Major Innovations in Engineering IoT: Revolutionizing the Connected World: The Internet of Things (IoT) has transformed the way we interact with technology, especially in the field of engineering. By connecting devices, sensors, and systems, IoT enables smarter decision-making, automation, and efficiency in countless applications—from manufacturing to infrastructure management. Invention: The concept of the Internet of Things (IoT) was first coined in the late 1990s, but its roots trace back to the early developments in embedded systems and wireless communication. Engineering IoT emerged as a transformative idea when engineers began embedding sensors and connectivity into physical devices, allowing them to collect and exchange data autonomously. This invention bridged the gap between the physical and digital worlds, enabling machines and infrastructure to communicate in real time. Early milestones included RFID technology and machine-to-machine (M2M) communication, ...
