A lightbulb that can be switched on using a smartphone app, a motion sensor or a smart
                  thermostat in your office or a connected streetlight are examples of IoT devices.

                                              Neil Gross famously said in 1999, “In the next century, planet earth will
                                              don an electronic skin. It will use the Internet as a scaffold to support
                                              and transmit its sensations”

                                              The concept of IoT has unbelievable potential in many businesses
                                              and industries. To check on Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS),
                  the Mimo monitor is a new kind of infant monitor that provides parents with real-time information
                  about their baby’s respiration, skin temperature, body position and activity level on their
                  smartphones.

                  You can monitor an aging family member by using a wearable alarm button and other wireless
                  sensors placed around the home. The BeClose system can track your loved one’s daily routine
                  and give you peace of mind for their safety by alerting you to any serious
                  disruptions detected in their normal schedule. Smart thermostats like the

                  Nest use sensors, real-time weather forecasts and the actual activity in
                  your home during the day to reduce your monthly energy usage by up to
                  30%, keeping you more comfortable and offering to save your money on
                  your utility bills.

                  IoT is here to stay and expand. Many new applications with rich functionality can be built that will
                  revolutionise our lives. Think of driverless cars and an automatically managed traffic system using
                  IoT sensors, which result in fewer accidents. Truly, in the world of IoT, only our imagination is our
                  ultimate limit.




                            3D PRINTING

                  3D Printing or 3-Dimensional Printing is a technology which was first
                  developed at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) in the 1980’s.

                  It is the process of making a physical object from a three-dimensional
                  digital  model. In this  technology,  we use  the  3D digital  data  on  the
                  computer to build 3D objects by adding layers of material which could
                  be polymers, metals, concrete or even plant and human tissue. 3D printing helps bridge the gap
                  between ideas and images on a page or screen and the creation of those ideas/images in the
                  physical 3-Dimensional world.

                  The major applications of 3D printing are:

                      Education: It is  widely  used  in the  education sector.  It prepares
                    the students for their future by allowing them to create prototypes
                    without the need for tooling and extensive work. It helps the students
                    design and produce models they can hold and feel.
