Long before Kevin Ashton first uttered “The Internet of Things” in 1999, a gentleman named Mark Weiser coined the term “ ubiquitous computing ” (aka “Pervasive Computing”) in 1988.
How does this relate to the world of Enterprise IoT?. I think the Wikipedia entry for ubiquitous computing sums things up fairly clearly:
…The underlying technologies to support ubiquitous computing include the Internet, advanced middleware, operating systems, mobile code, sensors, microprocessors, new I/O and user interfaces, networks, mobile protocols, location and positioning, and new materials.
