Emerging Technologies

The internet of things, or IoT, is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals or people having the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction.

Big data is a field that treats ways to analyze, systematically extract information from, or otherwise deal with data sets that are too large or complex to be dealt with by traditional data-processing computer applications.

Data analytics is the process of examining data sets in order to identify hidden patterns, trends, relationships, correlations and other insights contained in the data. In addition, data analytics can also be used to forecast or predict the future based on past data.

Data science is a multi-disciplinary field that uses scientific methods, processes, algorithms and systems to extract knowledge and insights from structured and unstructured data.

Machine learning is an application of artificial intelligence (AI) that provides computers the ability to automatically learn and improve from experience without being explicitly programmed. Machine learning focuses on the development of computer programs that can access data and use it to learn for themselves.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a field of computer science dealing with the development of intelligent machines capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence such as logic, analysis, reasoning, planning, problem solving, perception, natural language processing, voice recognition, decision making, etc.

Cloud computing is a type of computing that relies on shared computing resources rather than having local servers or personal devices to run software applications. The services are delivered and used over the Internet and are paid for by the cloud customer on an as-needed or pay-per-use basis.

Quantum computing is the use of quantum-mechanical phenomena such as superposition and entanglement to perform computation. Quantum computers will be exponentially faster than digital computers.

A blockchain is a growing list of records, called blocks, which are linked using cryptography. Blockchain allows digital information to be distributed, but not copied. Blockchain is the technology that underpins digital currency such as Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, etc.

Virtual Reality (VR) is the computer-generated simulation of a three-dimensional image or environment that can be interacted with in a seemingly real or physical way by a person using special electronic equipment, such as a head gear with a screen inside, or gloves fitted with sensors.

Augmented reality (AR) is a type of interactive, reality-based display environment that takes the capabilities of computer generated display, sound, text and effects to augment the user's real-world experience.

Robotics is the branch of technology that deals with the design, construction, operation, and application of robots.
