Explanation:

A SMART digital device is a device that can perform tasks independently with intelligence, while a connected device simply has the ability to connect to a network. They are not the same.
For the second question, Kevin Ashton is widely credited with popularizing the concept of IoT in 1999. Thomas Edison was a famous inventor in the 19th - 20th centuries (1847 - 1931), but not related to IoT. Nikola Tesla (1856 - 1943) was also a historical inventor. MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and Carnegie Mellon University are institutions, and it was Kevin Ashton (associated with MIT at the time) who popularized the term.
