Abstract: The future is the Internet of Things, transforming real-world objects into intelligent virtual objects. The IoT aims to unite everything in the world under a common infrastructure and not only allow us to control the things around us, but also keep us informed about the state of things. It contains sensors, software, and other technologies that allow it to connect and exchange data with other devices and systems over the Internet. This study addresses the concept of IoT through a systematic review of academic research papers, company white papers, technical discussions with experts, and online databases. Additionally, this research article focuses on the definition, origin, basic requirements, properties, and aliases of the Internet of Things.
