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.
