Study Notes
Internet of Things (IoT)
- IoT describes the network of physical objects ("things") embedded with sensors, software, and other technologies to connect and exchange data with other devices and systems over the internet.
- The goal of IoT is to have devices that self-report in real-time, improving efficiency and bringing important information to the surface more quickly than a system depending on human intervention.
Technologies Driving IoT
- Artificial Intelligence (AI)
- Data Analytics
- Quantum computations
- Biotechnology
- Robotics
- Virtual reality
- Blockchain
Digital Transformation
- Digital transformation is the application of digital technology to provide the stage for business and industry to innovate.
- It is now being applied to every aspect of human society.
- More smart devices than people are connected to the internet, and many people rely on multiple devices.
Impact of Digital Transformation
- On-line services: many companies provide services online, including shopping, ordering food, booking travel, and more.
- Business: digital transformation helps determine buying patterns, forecast new trends, and streamline production.
- Governments: digital transformation helps monitor the environment, forecast population trends, predict crime rates, and plan for social services.
- Smart Cities use sensors to control infrastructure systems such as traffic flow, parking, water utilization, and hydro.
Smart Devices
- Smart devices are everyday objects upgraded with advanced computing, AI, and connectivity, creating a networked ecosystem known as the Internet of Things (IoT).
- Smart devices can think on their own if programmed appropriately and can evaluate data and modify processes or settings "on the fly".
- They can also "learn" and modify their own code based on new parameters if provided with sufficient data.
Combining IoT with AI
- Networks form the foundation of the digitized world, ranging from simple networks to networks connecting millions of devices.
- The Internet is the largest network in existence, providing the "electronic skin" that surrounds the planet.
- Combining IoT with AI implies that devices can think on their own and make decisions based on data and programming.
This quiz covers the basics of Internet of Things, its impact on digital transformation, and prototyping ideas. Learn about the concept of IoT and its applications.
