Data Science

                  ata   cience  is  a  field  of  study  that  combines  domain
                 expertise, programming skills, and knowledge of mathematics
                 and statistics to extract meaningful insights from data. Data
                  cience uses techni ues such as machine learning and artificial
                 intelligence to extract meaningful information and to predict
                 future patterns and behaviours.


                 Internet of Things (IoT)

                 Internet of Things (IoT) describes the network of physical
                 devices that have uni ue identifiers   I s .  his 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.

                                                                                     Information Literacy
