                  Latest Technological Developments




                  Technology plays a major role in our daily and social life. Latest technologies are evolving every
                  day across the globe. To keep ourselves updated, it is important for us to know about the latest
                  technological developments. There are a number of latest technological developments. Some
                  of them are Internet of Things, 3D Printing and Robotic Process Automation. Let us learn about
                  these in detail.


                  INTERNET OF THINGS
                  Internet of Things (IoT) has become a buzzword nowadays throughout the world. It is a system
                  of connected computing devices, mechanical and digital machines for creating a virtual network
                  where a monitoring center ensures that everything is working smoothly. Each connected device
                  has a unique identifier and can transfer data over the network without any human intervention.
                  The connected devices gather and share data about their usage and their operative environment.
                  The devices can be your smartphones, refrigerators,  televisions,  washing machines, etc. You
                  must have heard about smart cities. They can be developed with optimised waste management
                  system, traffic system and efficient energy use by IoT. 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
                  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.
