As we look to the future, several trends are set to shape the landscape Of IT. Internet of Things The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the network of interconnected devices that can communicate with each other and exchange data over the internet. These devices include everyday objects such as home appliances, wearable technology, vehicles, and industrial equipment, all embedded with sensors, software, and other technologies.
Example of the Internet of things
Smart Homes Benefits of IoT:
Wearable Technology 1.Improved efficiency and productivity.
Industrial IOT 2. Enhanced data collection and analytics.
Agriculture Artificial Intelligence Artificial intelligence (AI) is a field of computer science focused on creating systems capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence. These tasks include learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, language understanding, and decision-making
AI technologies can be broadly categorized into two types
Narrow AI
General AI
subfields and techniques within AI include
1Machine Learning (ML)
2Deep Learning
3Natural Language Processing (NLP)
4Computer Vision
5 Robotics Blockchain Blockchain is a decentralized, distributed ledger technology that securely records transactions acros multiple computers. It was originally developed for Bitcoin, the first cryptocurrency, but its applications have expanded to various fields
components and features of blockchain
❖ Decentralization
❖ Immutability
❖ Security
❖ Transparency 5G technology 5G technology, or fifth-generation technology, refers to the latest generation of mobile networks and telecommunications standards. It promises significantly faster data speeds, lower latency (delay), increased capacity for simultaneous connections, and support for a wide range of devices beyond smartphones, such as IoT (Internet of Things) devices and autonomous vehicles. features of 5G Technology Higher Speeds Increased Capacity NImproved Efficiency Enabling Technologies Edge computing Edge computing refers to a distributed computing paradigm that brings computation and data storage closer to the sources of data. Instead of relying solely on centralized cloud data centers, edge computing processes data on local devices or nearby servers, which can significantly reduce latency, improve performance, and increase reliability.
benefits of edge computing
