Good heavens. I had wondered from time to time what had become of The Poster Of Many Names. > Btw, IoT = Internet of Things. First or second Google hit on just "IoT". With all due respect, I don't think "first or second Google hit" is a well-defined term these days -- as I understand things, Google tries to customizes the order in which it presents search results based on what it thinks you want (well, that and what it thinks will increase its own profits). When I try a search on "iot" the first hit is indeed the Wikipedia page on Internet of Things. I'm not explicitly signed into Google, but if they're keeping a history of my searches anyway, most of them are for technical/computing information, which could be a factor. For what it's worth, I had not come across this acronym previously but was able to guess the intended meaning after a few seconds' thought. > As easy to find as ANT.
