Historical Development and Convergence

This chapter traces the historical evolution of both biotechnology and the Internet of Things (IoT), examining how each field developed independently before their eventual convergence. It explores key milestones that have shaped both disciplines and highlights the growing intersection between them. By analyzing how IoT complements biotechnology, the chapter uncovers the ways in which connected devices enhance biotech processes, from real-time data collection to automated systems. This convergence paves the way for more efficient, precise, and scalable solutions in fields such as healthcare, agriculture, and environmental science.
