1932 Jay B. Nash  “Within our grasp is the leisure of the Greek citizen, made possible by our mechanical slaves, which far outnumber his twelve to fifteen per free man… As we step into a room, at the touch of a button a dozen light our way. Another slave sits twenty-four hours a day at our thermostat, regulating the heat of our home. Another sits night and day at our automatic refrigerator. They start our car; run our motors; shine our shoes; and cult our hair. They practically eliminate time and space by their very fleetness.” History 1999 – Kevin Ashton of Procter & Gamble, later MIT’s Auto-ID Center, in 1999. 2000 – LG launches first internet connected fridge 2007 – Fitbit 2008 – According to Cisco, IoT was born 2009 – Self Driving car (google) 2010 – Nest 2011 – IPv6 “public” launch 2014 – Number of internet devices exceeds word population Amazon Echo Uses Agriculture FarmAssistant Building Automation Commercial Home Consumer Fridges etc Big Data / Analytics / Trends Security Don’t give them internet access if you can avoid it, it’s often insecure
