INTRODUCTION

The Internet of Things (IoT) explained by Engr. Julian Albert D. Nohay is the network of
physical devices, vehicles, home appliances, and other items embedded with electronics,
software, sensors, actuators, and connectivity which enables these objects to connect and
exchange data. Each thing is uniquely identifiable through its embedded computing system but is
able to inter-operate within the existing internet infrastructure.
THEORY
To connect every matter in the world in the aspect of internet,

DISCUSSION
As of 2016, the vision of the Internet of things has evolved due to a convergence of multiple
technologies, including ubiquitous wireless communication, real-time analytics, machine
learning, commodity sensors, and embedded systems.
This means that the traditional fields of embedded systems, wireless sensor networks, control
systems, automation (including homeand building automation), and others all contribute to
enabling the Internet of things.
The concept of a network of smart devices was discussed as early as 1982, with a modified Coke
machine at Carnegie Mellon University becoming the first Internet-connected appliance, able to
report its inventory and whether newly loaded drinks were cold.
Mark Weiser's seminal 1991 paper on ubiquitous computing, "The Computer of the 21st
Century", as well as academic venues such as UbiComp and PerCom produced the contemporary
vision of IoT. In 1994 Reza Raji described the concept in IEEE Spectrum as "[moving] small
packets of data to a large set of nodes, so as to integrate and automate everything from home
appliances to entire factories". Between 1993 and 1996 several companies proposed solutions
like Microsoft's at Work or Novell's NEST. However, only in 1999 did the field start gathering
momentum. Bill Joy envisioned Device to Device (D2D) communication as part of his "Six
Webs" framework, presented at the World Economic Forum at Davos in 1999.

The concept of the Internet of things became popular in 1999, through the Auto-ID
Center at MIT and related market-analysis publications. Radio-frequency identification (RFID)
was seen by Kevin Ashton (one of the founders of the original Auto-ID Center) as a prerequisite
for the Internet of things at that point. Ashton prefers the phrase "Internet for things." If all
objects and people in daily life were equipped with identifiers, computers could manage and
store them. Besides using RFID, the tagging of things may be achieved through such
technologies as near field communication, barcodes, QR codes and digital watermarking.
In its original interpretation, one of the first consequences of implementing the Internet of things
by equipping all objects in the world with minuscule identifying devices or machine-readable
identifiers would be to transform daily life. For instance, instant and ceaseless inventory
control would become ubiquitous. A person's ability to interact with objects could be altered
remotely based on immediate or present needs, in accordance with existing end-user agreements.
For example, such technology could grant motion-picture publishers much more control over
end-user private devices by remotely enforcing copyright restrictions and digital rights
management, so the ability of a customer who bought a Blu-ray disc to watch the movie could
become dependent on the copyright holder's decision, similar to Circuit City's failed DIVX.
A significant transformation is to extend "things" from the data generated from devices to objects
in the physical space. The thought-model for future interconnection environment was proposed
in 2004. The model includes the notion of the ternary universe consists of the physical world,
virtual world and mental world and a multi-level reference architecture with the nature and
devices at the bottom level followed by the level of the Internet, sensor network, and mobile
network, and intelligent human-machine communities at the top level, which supports
geographically dispersed users to cooperatively accomplish tasks and solve problems by using
the network to actively promote the flow of material, energy, techniques, information,
knowledge, and services in this environment. This thought model envisioned the development
trend of the Internet of things.
DOCUMENTATION
Cisco Systems, Inc. is an American multinational technology conglomerate headquartered
in San Jose, California, in the center of Silicon Valley, that develops, manufactures and
sells networking hardware, telecommunications equipment and other high-technology services
and products. Through its numerous acquired subsidiaries, such as OpenDNS, WebEx, Jabber
and Jasper, Cisco specializes into specific tech markets, such as Internet of Things (IoT), domain
security and energy management.
Cisco is the largest networking company in the world. The stock was added to the Dow Jones
Industrial Average on June 8, 2009, and is also included in the S&P 500 Index, the Russell 1000
Index, NASDAQ-100 Index and the Russell 1000 Growth Stock Index.
Cisco Systems was founded in December 1984 by Leonard Bosack and Sandy Lerner,
two Stanford University computer scientists, who pioneered the concept of a local area network
(LAN) being used to connect geographically disparate computers over a multiprotocol router
system. By the time the company went public in 1990, when it was listed on the NASDAQ,
Cisco had a market capitalization of $224 million. Cisco was the most valuable company in the
world by 2000, with a more than $500 billion market capitalization.
CONCLUSION

The concept of basically connecting any device with an on and off switch to the Internet (and/or
to each other). This includes everything from cell phones, coffee makers, washing machines,
headphones, lamps, wearable devices and almost anything else you can think of. This also
applies to components of machines, for example a jet engine of an airplane or the drill of an oil
rig. As I mentioned, if it has an on and off switch then chances are it can be a part of the
IoT. The analyst firm Gartner says that by 2020 there will be over 26 billion connected devices.
That's a lot of connections (some even estimate this number to be much higher, over 100
billion). The IoT is a giant network of connected "things" (which also includes people). The
relationship will be between people-people, people-things, and things-things.

The new rule for the future is going to be, "Anything that can be connected, will be connected."
But why on earth would one want so many connected devices talking to each other? There are
many examples for what this might look like or what the potential value might be. For example,
you are on your way to a meeting; your car could have access to your calendar and already know
the best route to take. If the traffic is heavy your car might send a text to the other party notifying
them that you will be late. What if your alarm clock wakes up you at 6 a.m. and then notifies
your coffee maker to start brewing coffee for you? What if your office equipment knew when it
was running low on supplies and automatically re-ordered more? What if the wearable device
you used in the workplace could tell you when and where you were most active and productive
and shared that information with other devices that you used while working?

On a broader scale, the IoT can be applied to things like transportation networks: "smart cities"
which can help us reduce waste and improve efficiency for things such as energy use; this
helping us understand and improve how we work and live.
