## Source excerpt

IoT, in general, has come a long away. During the very early stage, there was browser based control and monitoring, which, though more convenient than non-IoT devices, had a very narrow market. With the advent of Smartphones, IoT devices became much more easier to use and mass adoption became a possibility. However, the real push was given by the advent of various eco-systems and Voice assistants like Siri, Alexa and Google Assistant.
