1. List and explain thru an example for each of the 5 internet of things.

1. Smart home technology - Our Flatscreen T.V has a Smart Hub


application that is connected to our Wi-Fi which helps us to
access browser, youtube, netflix and screen mirroring. It is also
often referred to as home automation or domotics, it provides
homeowners' security, comfort, convenience and energy
efficiency by allowing them to control smart devices, often by a
smart home app on their smartphone or other networked
device.

2. Wearable technology - also known as "wearables", is a


category of electronic devices that can be worn as accessories,
embedded in clothing, implanted in the user's body, or even
tattooed on the skin and this devices are hands-free gadgets
with practical uses, powered by microprocessors and enhanced
with the ability to send and receive data via the Internet. One
example of this device is a smartwatch that is available in
Cherry Mobile and other brands, it includes monitoring your
heart rate, tracking your activity, and providing reminders
throughout the day.

3. Smart City - is a municipality that uses information and


communication technologies (ICT) to increase operational
efficiency, share information with the public and improve both
the quality of government services and citizen welfare. A classic
example is the smart parking meter that uses an application to
help drivers find available parking spaces without prolonged
circling of crowded city blocks.

4. Connected Car - Experts define a connected car as a car that


can be linked to other services, devices via a network, along
with laptops and mobile phones, this also includes other
connected car technology, your own home, office, or parts of
infrastructure such as traffic signals or emergency centres.
Examples of connected car devices are the new Audi
commercial featuring Tom Holland which shows how the car
automatically parks on its own, also it is used by Grab drivers
which help them sense heavy traffic that would potentially
enable road users to reach their destination with less stress.

5. Motion Detection - are devices that use sensors to detect


motion or vibration in large-scale structures such as buildings,
bridges, and dams can identify the small disturbances and
patterns that could lead to catastrophic failures. Networks of
detectors are also used in areas susceptible to landslides,
avalanches, and earthquakes. Example of a Motion Detection
device is the LG G8 ThinQ Air Motion which allows you to
control your device without touching it via motions and
gestures.

2. Apply 5 benefits of IoT in organizations justify in 1 to 2 sentences.

1. Enhance Customer Service - With the help of IoT, organizations


are able to reduce their wasted time and also the number of
resources required to manage their assets. For instance, IoT
such as artificially intelligent robots that can automatically sort
and place items at appropriate locations without human
intervention can lead to a higher level of customer satisfaction.

2. Enhance Work Productivity - Just as how robotics eliminated


repetitive physical tasks, the IoT consists of "cognitive
outsourcing" which will enable computers to be responsible for
menial or repetitive mental tasks, enabling personnel to spend
more time on finding operational insights rather than collecting,
transforming, and processing the data. It costs more money
and time in handling cost optimization manually because you
have to pay an expert that is knowledgeable in linear equations
and calculus.

3. Make Better Business Decision-Making - IoT contains digital


literacy and ICT skills which majority of organizations seek, and
also, IoT enhances situational awareness and empowers new
contextual insights, resulting in faster and better-informed
decision-making. Also, IoT-enabled rapid costing upends this
system: receive time-based price signals, update your
analyses, analyze trade-offs, and choose the optimal response.

4. Smooth Business Operations - IoT can connect through various


devices to the internet which allows enterprises to have real-
time operational insights and it helps them analyze the situation
or problems that the business encounters. IoT devices
empower individuals as well as organizations to be more
efficient and productive.

5. Provide Ample Business Opportunities - IoT opens the door for


new business opportunities and by introducing a new way to
interact with customers, business flow, productions and much
more. IoT-driven innovations create an astounding atmosphere
which helps businesses to establish a better relationship with
the customer and by offering practical solutions.

3. List 5 emerging Trends in Information Technology and explain in 1


to 2 sentences.

1. Artificial Intelligence - there are many games in recent years


that uses A.I such as DOTA( Defense of the Ancients), Chess,
games in playstation, arcade, gameboy, computer, mobile and
many more but it continues to be a trend because it slowly
developing to becoming a unbeatable opponent that can
surpass the human brain, back then, many people can outsmart
the performance of an A.I, however, as time goes by, it became
flawless and can obtain common sense similar to humans.
Artificial intelligence harnesses algorithms and machine
learning to predict useful patterns humans normally identify.
Smart machines take human decision-making out of the
equation so intelligent machines can instigate changes and
bring forward solutions to basic problems.

2. Virtual Reality - It creates new experiences that you will never


feel in any other Information technology because instead of
viewing a screen in front of them, users are immersed and able
to interact with 3D worlds, also, it simulates as many senses as
possible, such as vision, hearing, touch, even smell, the
computer is transformed into a gatekeeper to this artificial
world. Virtual reality refers to a computer-generated simulation
in which a person can interact within an artificial three-
dimensional environment using electronic devices, such as
special goggles with a screen or gloves fitted with sensors and
in this simulated artificial environment, the user is able to have
a realistic-feeling experience.

3. Augmented Reality - When I went on a trip to Ateneo since I


was in elementary school, it was the first time that I
experienced playing augmented reality which is very exciting
and amusing because it is like you are transferred to the 3D-
world you are facing and the character that you use is doing the
same movement that you do. Augmented reality (AR) is an
enhanced version of the real physical world that is achieved
through the use of digital visual elements, sound, or other
sensory stimuli delivered via technology.

4. Drones - A news that shocked people all over the world on


January 3,2020, is all about a U.S. drone strike that killed Iran’s
top general, Qassem Soleimani, at Baghdad International
Airport which causes terror or a possible world war because of
the armed drone attack. A drone, in technological terms, is an
unmanned aircraft. Drones are more formally known as
unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or unmanned aircraft systems
(UASes). Essentially, a drone is a flying robot that can be
remotely controlled or fly autonomously through software-
controlled flight plans in their embedded systems, working in
conjunction with onboard sensors and GPS.

5. 5G - It is an ongoing trend that you will see in many brands


such as globe, apple and many more, 5G is the 5th generation
mobile network that enables a new kind of network that is
designed to connect virtually everyone and everything together
including machines, objects, and devices. 5G wireless
technology is meant to deliver higher multi-Gbps peak data
speeds, ultra low latency, more reliability, massive network
capacity, increased availability, and a more uniform user
experience to more users.
