The term "Internet of Things" was coined years later in 1999 by Kevin Ashton, a British expert.

Ashton used his term to describe the potential of connecting the physical world to the non-physical, through radio frequency identification tags, to the internet, allowing computers to manage objects in a technologically advanced and more efficient way.

However, despite the pioneering idea, the popularization of the IoT was only possible with the technological advances of recent decades, including the miniaturization of sensors, which has become more relevant in this type of technology, as well as the increase in processing capacity, the expansion of wireless networks, and the reduction in the cost of devices.

 It is a fact that the convergence of these technologies allowed Ashton's vision to become reality in a world he could not have contact with, and his studies and research, along with those of many others like him, began the revolution that we experience and enjoy today in many ways.
