Abstract
In today’s connected world, smartphones, watches, thermostats, and LEDs are a common feature of newly constructed buildings owned by not only technology enthusiasts but a majority of people. While the Internet of Things focuses on the connection of gadgets, the Internet of Everything (IoE) as a more holistic technology builds upon the idea of connecting devices, people, processes, data, and virtually everything via the internet. This paper provides an overview of the historical developments surrounding this evolving technology. Accordingly, the internet becomes a starting point and illustrates the steps towards a connected world. The ARPANET, mobile or connected devices, and the Internet of Things have fostered the consecutive stage – the IoE. It also outlines the current state of the art concerning its meaning, its effect on business models and research, and viewpoints toward future visions for education and other fields. The IoE is characteristic of the ambivalence of enormously high expectations and unresolved considerations that require intensive research and careful development in years to come.
