The Origin and Development of the Internet of Things
The origin of the Internet of Things (IoT) can be traced back to 1990 with Xerox's Networked Coke Machine. In 1995, Bill Gates mentioned IoT in his book "The Road Ahead", but it didn't receive wide attention. In 1999, Professor Kevin Ash - ton from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the United States first proposed the concept of IoT. Also in 1999, MIT established the "Auto - ID Center" and put forward that "everything can be interconnected through the network", clarifying the basic meaning of IoT. At the beginning, IoT relied on Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology in the logistics network. With the development of technology and applications, the connotation of IoT has changed significantly. In 2003, the American "Technology Review" proposed that sensor network technology would be the top of the ten technologies to change people's lives in the future. In 2004, Japan's Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC) proposed the u - Japan plan, aiming to achieve connections between people, things, and between people and things, and to build Japan into a ubiquitous network society. In 2005, on November 17, at the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) held in Tunisia, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) released "ITU Internet Report 2005: Internet of Things", officially proposing the concept of IoT. Since then, the definition and scope of IoT have changed, and its coverage has been greatly expanded. In 2008, in order to promote scientific and technological development and find new economic growth points, governments around the world began to pay attention to the next - generation technology planning and focused on IoT. In 2009, the European Commission published the European IoT Action Plan, depicting the application prospects of IoT technology. In the same year, in China, Premier Wen Jiabao's speech on "Sensing China" pushed the research and application development in China's IoT field to a climax. As technology advances, IoT has continuously expanded its applications in various fields such as smart home, intelligent transportation, smart city, and intelligent industry, and is expected to further drive the intelligent development of society in the future.

The Origin and Development of the Internet of Things
The concept of the Internet of Things could be traced back to 1991, when Professor Kevin Ashton of the MIT proposed that "everything can be interconnected through the Internet", which initially clarified the meaning of the Internet of Things. In 1995, the concept of the Internet of Things was officially mentioned in the book The Road to the Future, but it was limited by the development of wireless networks, hardware, and sensing devices, so it did not receive widespread attention. In 1998, the MIT proposed the concept of the Internet of Things for the EP system. In 1999, the American Institute of Technology established the "Automatic Identification Center." The early Internet of Things was a logistics network that relied on radio frequency identification technology. However, with the development of technology and applications, its meaning had changed greatly. In 2004, the term "Internet of Things" began to appear in the book's title and spread in the media. In 2008, the first International Internet of Things Conference was held in Switzerland, and the number of Internet of Things devices exceeded the total population of the Earth for the first time. In 2009, Wen put forward the strategic concept of "Perceiving China" to vigorously develop the Internet of Things technology. In 2013, Google Glass was officially released and became an iconic product for the Internet of Things and wearables. In 2017, the development of the Internet of Things was widely accepted. Self-driving cars continued to improve. Blockchain and artificial intelligence began to integrate into the Internet of Things platform. The popularity of smart phones and wireless networks made the Internet of Things the gateway to future development. In 2019, the total number of global Internet of Things connections reached 12 billion, and it is expected to increase by 24.6 billion by 2025, with a compound annual growth rate of 13%. At present, the Internet of Things was in a period of rapid development, with many new sensors and devices coming online every day.
