What is IoT

Internet of Things is a network of physical objects (things) with embedded electronics which allows these objects to exchange data
Why it is happening now?
Answer: it's driven by economy. An explanation could be found in the Moore's law
It says:

The number of transistors in an integrated circuit doubles approximately every two years

Internet of Things is a network of physical objects (things) with embedded electronics which allows these objects to exchange data
Why it is happening now?
Answer: it's driven by economy. Moore's law!
It says:
The number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit doubles approximately every two years
The concept of connecting things is old, and that has been done in industry for decades
But prices where high: for electronics, for connectivity, and for the software
With time, according to the Moore's law, prices
