The ATM machine is a great example of an IoT product that has become normal in everyday life. Such an object reminds us how long IoT has truly been around, invented in 1969. A huge reason for the persistence of the ATM Machine is

“Mother” by Sense (2015)
Mother is a product that consists of a base station (also called Mother) and sensor “cookies” that the user can attach to a variety of objects. The Mother connects to all of the cookies and to your phone. This allows the user to be notified of events from the cookies. The cookies have temperature and motion sensors, and the activity that they track can be easily set and changed. This means that the user will not have to buy a huge number of the cookies if they are willing to switch them regularly. The adaptability of the sensors also allow for daily goals to be set and tracked, even if the goals vary wildly from day to day. Some examples that Sense gives for possible uses are: activity monitoring, pill schedule notifications, child tracking, and ranking who is the best at tooth brushing.
