IEEE  labels “ Edge Computing ” as one of the most important ingredients of 5G technology, but what exactly is edge computing? There are multiple architectural approaches to edge computing that are promoted by different groups: OpenFog (promoted in particular by vendors Cisco and Intel), Mobile Edge Computing (promoted by the ETSI and its members), Jungle Computing, Mist Computing, Dew Computing, Frontier Computing, etc. In brief, they are under one category: edge computing. Illustration of Edge Computing, Source:  IoT Institute Moving from Cloud to Edge is Historically Inevitable First, what is  edge ? The “ edge ” is where things and people connect and start to converge with the digital world via communications network. The edge today could be your smartphone, your home wireless router, your Play Station, your Apple TV, your Amazon Echo, your Surface Pro, a local cellular tower, or even a connected car. Edge computing describes a computing topolog...

AR and VR are poised to change the world — as long as innovators can overcome these 3 challenges. -  My job managing  digital disruption  is to evaluate new technologies and to try to figure out when they’re going to make it big, and I’ve come to the conclusion that despite the potential, these new technologies are not yet ready to tackle societal problems on a large scale. Moreover, they never will be, unless they mature in a few ways. Fortunately for VR enthusiasts, it looks as if these changes may well be underway. The business leaders that implement them most effectively, and soonest, will reap massive rewards. As Deloitte Digital Managing Director  Allan Cook and his co-authors explain ,we’re closer to widespread adoption of these technologies than ever before. “The future has arrived,” they say. “The digital reality trend shifts the focus away from technology and firmly toward their development and deployment.” Although we’re not completely there...

These days it’s hard to avoid pronouncements about how cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology could  change everything (or at least, create  massive wealth ). Yet there’s an equally loud chorus labeling them a  massive scam ,  useless , and  dangerous . And a surprisingly large audience still doesn’t understand what’s going on. One big reason for the confusion is that we’re not all talking about the same things. The truth is that there isn’t a blockchain phenomenon to be for or against. There are three. The three communities share a basic set of design principles and technological foundations — but the people, goals, and prospects are almost completely distinct. Those involved don’t help much by sniping constantly about which is the “real” movement. So, let me try to clarify things. There is  cryptocurrency:  the idea that networks can securely transfer value without central points of control. There is  blockchain : the idea t...

Generally speaking a bot is any software that performs an automated task, however, we are interested in the class of bots that live in chat platforms called chatbots. In this context, there are many possible definitions and some confusion about what a bot is. This is partly because there are so many varied use cases for bots and these influence what people perceive a chatbot to be. The most intuitive definition is that a bot is a software that can have a conversation with a human. For example, a user could ask the bot a question or give it an instruction and the bot could respond or perform an action as appropriate. MISCONCEPTIONS This definition however often leads to two potential misconceptions. The biggest misconception that arises is that a chatbot is a bot that converses with a human in the way that another human would converse with a human. Software or even a robot that communicates with a human in natural language is not difficult to imagine. Science fiction is full of ex...

We are living in an era of science and technology, where inventions and innovations are inspiring us each day. Technology is making our life more easier and luxurious. Things which we only imagine today comes in to reality in other day. Science and technology is progressing day by day. Here, below is a list of top ten upcoming technology that may change the world. The list of top 10 Mind blowing Upcoming Technologies that will take your breath away. Google Glasses Google Glasses are a part of Project Glass, a research and development program by Google to develop an augmented reality head-mounted display (HMD). These products would display information in smartphone-like format hands-free and could interact with the Internet via natural language voice commands. The prototype’s functionality and minimalist appearance has been compared to Steve Mann’s EyeTap. The operating system software used in the glasses will be Google’s Android. Leap Motion ...
