Kevin Ashton, a British technology pioneer who cofounded the Auto-ID Center at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and inventor of the term "the Internet of Things" discusses the exciting moment when the Premier of China (at the time), Wen Jiabao, was the first government official to discuss the idea of the Internet of Things.
