The article is devoted to the genesis and development of the Internet of Things (IoT). Structurally, it consists of an introduction, three parts, and a conclusion. The first part is introductory in nature and reveals the primary foundations for the origin of the IoT, such as the invention of the computer, the discovery of the transistor, and the Internet as a global system of interconnected networks, as well as the more significant discoveries prior to its "birth" that paved the way for its emergence. The second part traces the expansion and development of the Internet of Things in chronological order, highlighting the main milestones in its evolution until 2024. The third part identifies three stages in the development of the IoT: inception and initial development, growth and expansion, and ubiquitous connectivity and mass application. In conclusion, in addition to brief summarizing conclusions from the presentation, expectations related to the development of the IoT in the near future are outlined very concisely, such as the use of 5G networks, blockchain technologies, edge computing, the integration of IoT with artificial intelligence (AloT), and machine learning (ML).

This paper presents an essayistic and conceptual study of investment theory as a century-old educational canon, examined in digital transformation and the era of artificial intelligence. It traces the formation and institutionalization of this canon through key conceptual foundations and organizational actors. The article explores how this canon is reproduced through textbooks, university curricula, and certification structures. The study highlights several structural limitations and methodological deficiencies, including the preferential treatment of fundamental analysis over technical analysis, the marginalization of alternative risk measures, and the critique of the statistical foundations of investment theory. It underscores the need to reconsider investment education's conceptual and pedagogical scope through more adaptive, interdisciplinary, and technologically aware approaches that reflect the realities of contemporary financial markets.
