What is the Internet of Things?
ITU-T report in 2005 titled The Internet of Things.
A highly interconnected world
that connects to large
databases and to the network
of networks or the Internet.
Also known as M2M (Machine-to Machine
communication), pervasive computing or
ubiquitous computing

Radio Frequency IDs (RFIDs)
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) was the early and pivotal enabler of this
technology, with a tiny tag responding in the presence of a receiver which emits a signal.
Originally used during World War II in
British Spitfire airplanes to distinguish
friend from foe

RFIDs in retail stores
TEDxBNMIT
Retailers keep track of the goods going out of warehouses to
their stores with this technology.
In a typical scenario one can imagine a retail store in which
all items are RFID tagged. A shopping cart fitted with a
receiver can automatically track all items placed in the cart
for immediate payment and check-out.
