Data Science

            Data  Science  is  a  field  of  study  that  combines  domain
            expertise, programming skills, and knowledge of mathematics
            and statistics to extract meaningful insights from data. Data
            Science uses techniques 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 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.

                   byte Quest                                                   Technology Literacy
