ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
 Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the branch of computer
sciences that emphasizes the development of
intelligence machines, thinking and working like
humans.
 For example, speech recognition, problem-solving,
learning and planning
INTERNET OF THINGS (IoT)
 The internet of Things describes the network of physical objects –“things”-
that are embedded with sensors, software, and other technologies for the
purpose of connecting and exchanging data with other devices and systems
over the internet. These devices range from ordinary household objects to
sophisticated industrial tools.

 Examples of objects that can fall into the scope of Internet of Things include
connected security systems, thermostats, cars, electronic appliances, lights
in household and commercial environments, and more.
SECURITY
 IT security is a set of cybersecurity strategies that prevents unauthorized
access to organizational assets such as computers, networks, and data. It
maintains the integrity and confidentiality of sensitive information, blocking
the access of sophisticated hackers.
BIG DATA
 Big data is a combination of structured, semi structured and unstructured data
collected by organizations that can be mined for information and used in
machine learning projects, predictive modeling and other advanced analytics
applications.
MOBILE APPS DEVELOPMENT
 Mobile application development is the process of creating
software applications that run on a mobile device, and a typical
mobile application utilizes a network connection to work with
remote computing resources.
 Hence, the mobile development process involves creating
installable software bundles (code, binaries, assets, etc.),
implementing backend services such as data access with an API,
and testing the application on target devices.
AUGMENTED REALITY/VIRTUAL REALITY/MIXED REALITY/EXTENDES
REALITY (AR/VR/MR/XR)
 Augmented reality (AR) adds digital elements to a live view often
by using the camera on a smartphone. Examples of augmented
reality experiences include Snapchat lenses and the game
Pokemon Go.

 Visual reality (VR) implies a complete immersion experience that

shuts out the physical world. Using VR devices such as HTC Vive,
Oculus Rift or Google Cardboard, users can be transported into a
number of real-world and imagined environments such as the
middle of a squawking penguin colony or even the back of a
dragon
 Mixed Reality (MR) experience, which combines elements of both
AR and VR, real-world and digital objects interact. Mixed reality
technology is just now starting to take off with Microsoft’s HoloLens
one of the most notable early mixed reality apparatuses.

 Extended Reality (XR) is an umbrella term that covers all of the

various technologies that enhance our senses, whether they’re
providing additional information about the actual world or creating
totally unreal, simulated worlds for us to experience. It includes
Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR)
technologies.
ROBOT PROCESS AUTOMATION
 Robotic Process Automation is the technology that allows anyone
today to configure computer software, or a “robot” to emulate and
integrate the actions of a human interacting within digital systems
to execute a business process.
BLOCKCHAIN
 Blockchain is a system of recording information in a way that makes
it difficult or impossible to change, hack, or cheat the system. It is
essentially a digital ledger of transactions that is duplicated and
distributed across the entire network of computer systems on the
blockchain. Each block in the chain contains a number of
transactions, and every time a new transaction occurs on the
blockchain, a record of that transactions added to every
participant’s ledger. The decentralised database managed by
multiple participants is known as Distributed Ledger Technology
(DLT).

 Blockchain is a type of DLT in which transactions are recorded with

an immutable cryptographic signature called a hash.

AUTONOMOUS DRIVING
 An autonomous car is a vehicle capable of sensing its environment and
operating without human involvement. A human passenger is not required
to take control of the vehicle at any time, nor is a human passenger
required to be present in the vehicle at all. An autonomous car can go
anywhere a traditional car goes and do everything that an experienced
human driver does.
BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE (BI)
 Business intelligence combines business analytics, data mining, data
visualization, data tools and infrastructure, and best practices to help
organizations to make more data-driven decisions.
 o The most common refers to o
running workloads remotely
over the internet in a
commercial provider’s data
center, also known as the
CLOUD COMPUTING “public cloud” model. Popular
public cloud offerings—such as
Amazon Web Services (AWS),
Salesforce’s CRM system, and
Microsoft Azure—all exemplify
this familiar notion of cloud
computing. Today, most
businesses take a multicloud
approach, which simply means
they use more than one public
cloud service.
A virtualized pool of resources,
from raw compute power to
application functionality,
available on demand. When
customers procure cloud
services, the provider fulfills
those requests using advanced
automation rather than
manual provisioning. The key
advantage is agility: the ability
to apply abstracted compute,
storage, and network
resources to workloads as
needed and tap into an
abundance of prebuilt services
SERVICE DESK
 Service Desk Management/IT Service Desk Management is the process of
managing the IT service desk that forms the point of contact between the
IT service providers and the IT service users.
 Most organizations use a centralized approach of IT service desk
management, where there’ a central point of contact between service
providers and users and all incidents are managed centrally.
BIOMETRICS
 Biometrics is the technical term for body measurements and
calculations. It refers to metrics related to human characteristics.
Biometrics authentication (or realistic authentication) is used in
computer science as a form of identification and access control.

Examples include, but are not limited to fingerprint, palm veins,

face recognition, DNA, palm print, hand geometry, iris recognition,
retina and odor/scent. Behavioral characteristics are related to the
pattern of behavior of a person, including but not limited to typing
rhythm, gait, and voice.
3D PAINTING
 The 3D printing process builds a three-dimensional object from a
computer-aided design (CAD) model, usually by successively adding
material layer by layer, which is why it is also called additive
manufacturing, unlike conventional machining, casting and forging
processes, where material is removed from a stock item (subtractive
manufacturing) or poured into a mold and shaped by means of dies,
presses and hammers.
 DRONES
• Drones are being commonly used these days to
capture addresses by politicians, concerts, and live
sports events. They can provide a perspective to
the audience that no other technology can
provide. In the past, cameras hung from cables
were used to capture aerial views.
COMPUTING
