The emphatic answer to this question is a BIG “YES”

That may be astounding news to many but as we all know technology is fast growing and the connected things of everyday life too are changing along with it.  So it is not an alarming thing that our lifestyle too will change along with it.  This trend is the talk of the day.  Many of the readers here may know or heard the word “The Internet of Things”  (IoT) but sad, many do not know the person who coined the word.  His name is Kevin Ashton, and the further read of this post will give you more about him and his activities.

As we all know this is very much visible or prevalent in any sector and without it many things will not work or move.

Many of the readers here may know or heard the word “The Internet of Things”  (IoT) but, many do not know the person behind it.  This word is coined by Kevin Ashton, a British man who now lives in the US. Kevin Ashton the man who coined the word Internet of things (IoT) Click To Tweet

For half the journey you’ll catch up on sleep or read a book. There will be no accidents. Along the way, you’ll zoom past cars on another road that runs parallel to yours. There, you might see an old Ford Escort, backfiring – driven by one of the holdouts who refuse to embrace modern technology. Once you reach the city, traffic lights and street signs will be connected to the internet and they’ll talk to each other, responding to changes in traffic flow….

…In fact, if anyone’s going to have a successful stab at guessing what we’ll be doing in the future, Ashton’s about as good a person as you’ll find. If you haven’t heard his name, you’ll probably have heard of the term he coined to describe how this future will be possible: ‘the internet of things.

In 2014, Wired magazine told its readers the internet of things (IoT) was already far bigger than anyone realized: ‘It’s going to make everything in our lives from streetlights to seaports “smart”.’ The idea behind the IoT is essentially this: it’s not just computers that can be hooked up to the internet, but physical devices, vehicles, buildings, etc, as well – all of which are embedded with sensors and connected to a network….
