The Internet of Things is a relatively young term: it was first mentioned in 1999 and, within the next few years, started making its way to online publications and analytical reports. According to Cisco<\/a>, IoT was truly born somewhere between 2008 and 2009 when the number of connected devices streaming data to the Internet exceeded the global population of 6.5 billion at the time. As of 2021, this number is much higher and growing at a steady rate (see the illustration below).<\/p>\n

Today, we view the Internet of Things<\/a> as a global fleet of devices of varying complexity and computing power that capture data, sometimes transform it \u201con the edge\u201d, and send it to a predefined endpoint or web service for further storage or processing. In essence, IoT devices engage in machine-to-machine (M2M) \u201cconversations\u201d to exchange data and pass it on or use it to adjust their own mode of operation.<\/p>\n

So far, the concept has mostly focused on one-way communication of individual devices and feeding sensor readings to the cloud, triggering events or accumulating big data for subsequent analysis. But what if we expanded the functionality of this model and made it considerably more inclusive, autonomous, interconnected, intelligent, and relevant to the immediate needs of their users?<\/p>\n

Enter IoE, the Internet of Everything. Yes \u2013 everything. In this article you’ll get to know:<\/p>\n
