IoT, as a concept, has been around for a long time. This technology was visible in the form of a large number of sensors that were deployed in control systems in manufacturing plants, home gadgets, mobile phones, and even virtual gaming consoles. The sensors could take real-life inputs, digitize them, and present them to the digital world and vice versa. Since the sensors were active devices, they needed a power source, and battery life was limited, thus limiting the use of these devices. Further, the sensors were isolated devices with limited networking capabilities, which would further limit their usefulness. The development of battery-efficient, low-power devices and the introduction of networking protocols gave a big push ...
