    INTERNET OF THINGS (IoT)

                                                             Internet of Things (IoT) describes the network of physical

                                                             devices that have unique identifiers (UIDs). This technology
                                                             can  transfer  data  over  a  network  without  any  human

                                                             intervention. The devices can be your smartphones,
                                                             refrigerators, televisions, washing machines, etc.

                     For example, a lightbulb can be switched ON using a smartphone app. To check on SIDS (Sudden
                     Infant Death Syndrome), 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.

                          EDGE COMPUTING

                     Edge computing is a subsection of cloud computing. Edge computing keeps computer data close to the
                     user.

                     Just like cloud computing, edge computing provides storage and applications to be consumed by the

                     end-users. However, edge computing runs fewer processes in the cloud and moves those processes to
                     local places, such as on a user’s computer or any IoT device.

                     Edge  computing  is  used  in  technologies  such  as  autonomous  vehicles,  video  conferencing,  and

                     augmented reality. Edge computing, for example, reduces the delay of waiting for a server in the cloud
                     to respond when an autonomous car makes a split-second choice to brake and avoid a collision.
