Disruptive Technology
Today’sinnovative technology can become obsolete
tomorrow. What we have learned today or use may no
longer be useful in a decade or two. An innovation that
destroys another is known as ‘destructive innovation.’
Learning the ever changing job related skills and know-
how is more important.
According to PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) by 2030 many
corporations around the world will use drugs on their employees
to enhance productivity and may enhance their profitability by 24
per cent. Dunham Corp., a company that produces gifts in US
has increased their productivity by 4 per cent through
administering drugs on their employees.

Disruptive Technology
Accordinglythe World Bank, 47 per cent of our
degree holders are unemployed. In India it is 33 per
cent whereas in Sri Lanka it is 7.8 per cent. The
primary reason for this dismal picture is due to
degree centric education both in Bangladesh and
India. Acquiring work related skills is always a low
priority amongst the young generation. While the
‘educated’ unemployment rate is so high in
Bangladesh officially six hundred thousand
foreigners working in Bangladesh remit about six
billion dollars annually from Bangladesh.
4.
Disruptive Technology
Mostof the foreign workers working in Bangladesh are in the
IT, RMG and service sector and come from India,
Pakistan, Sri Lanka, China, Korea, Nigeria, Nepal and
even Honduras and Columbia. Three million Filipinos remit
ninety billion dollars annually from outside the country as
they sell more of their skills unlike their Bangladeshi
counterparts who have only cheap labour to sell. A person
with the right type of skill will be in demand anywhere in the
world but demand for physical labour is constantly in the
wane due to use of artificial intelligence and IT related
technology. Driverless trains and cars are a reality.
Agriculture in most countries, including Bangladesh is being
mechanised at a faster speed as it is less costly.

Disruptive Technology
Thepersonal computer (PC) displaced the
typewriter and forever changed the way we work
and communicate.
The Windows operating system's combination of
affordability and a user-friendly interface was
instrumental in the rapid development of the personal
computing industry in the 1990s. Personal computing
disrupted the television industry, as well as a great
number of other activities.
Email transformed the way we communicating,
largely displacing letter-writing and disrupting the
postal and greeting card industries.
8.
Disruptive Technology
Cellphones made it possible for people to call us
anywhere and disrupted the telecom industry.
The laptop computer and mobile computing made a
mobile workforce possible and made it possible for
people to connect to corporate networks and
collaborate from anywhere. In many organizations,
laptops replaced desktops.
Smartphones largely replaced cell phones and PDAs
and, because of the available apps, also disrupted:
pocket cameras, MP3 players, calculators and
GPS devices, among many other possibilities. For
some mobile users, smartphones often replace laptops.
9.
Disruptive Technology
Cloudcomputing has been a hugely disruptive
technology in the business world, displacing
many resources that would conventionally
have been located in-house or provided as a
traditionally hosted service.
Social networking has had a major impact on
the way we communicate and -- especially for
personal use -- has disrupted telephone,
email, instant messaging and event planning.

Big Data
About 2.5quintillion bytes of data are generated
every day and almost 90% of the global existing
data has been created during the past two years.
Data is growing faster than ever before and by the
year 2020, about 1.7 megabytes of new
information will be created every second for every
human being on the planet.
This volume of data equates to 2-hourlong HD
movies, which one person would need 47 million
years to watch in their entirety.
13.
Big Data
Everysecond we create new data. For example, we
perform 40,000 search queries every second
(on Google alone), which makes it 3.5 searches per
day and 1.2 trillion searches per year
By 2020, nearly 85% of photos will be taken on
smart phones.

Big Data
Big Datais a collection of large and complex
data sets which are difficult to process using
common database management tools or
traditional data processing applications. The
US Congress defines big data as “a term that
describes large volumes of high velocity,
complex, and variable data that require
advanced techniques and technologies to
enable the capture, storage, distribution,
management, and analysis of the
information.”
17.
Big Data
Big datais a broad term for
data sets so large or complex
that traditional data processing
applications are inadequate.
Challenges include analysis,

Internet of Things
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a scenario in
which objects, animals or people are provided
with unique identifiers and the ability to transfer
data over a network without requiring
human-to-human or human-to-computer
interaction.
According to Gartner, Inc. (a technology
research and advisory corporation), there will
be nearly 26 billion devices on the Internet of
Things by 2020
55.
Internet of Everything
Hopefullythis will be the year where everything becomes
connected. Your Nest thermostat could connect with your
Fitbit or Apple Watch. Knowing that you're coming back from
an intense run on a hot day, it'll ensure you walk into a nice,
cool house. When you start to run low on Gatorade, your
smart fridge can alert Amazon's Alexa to order a new case.
If 2016 was the year that the Internet of Things became a
realistic goal, 2017 was the year that the Internet of
Everything starts to take over.
56.
Automated Everything
Uberhas already started the trend, moving
toward driverless vehicles. In this upcoming
year, we'll likely see more and more menial
tasks shifted to automation. The technology
will continue to evolve so automation goes
beyond marketing and self-driving cars. We'll
see more practical in-home and in-office uses
of automation, boosting productivity by
allowing people to focus on big-picture ideas
instead of getting bogged down.
Crowdsourcing
Crowdsourcing isthe process of obtaining needed
services, ideas, or content by soliciting contributions from
a large group of people, and especially from an online
community, rather than from traditional employees or
suppliers.
Wikipedia – perhaps the pioneers of crowdsourcing. The
not-for-profit Wikipedia Foundation launched its free, web-
based, multilingual and collaborative encyclopaedia in
2001. It has over 17m articles written collaboratively by
the community and is the most popular reference site on
the internet.
59.
Crowdsourcing
Top brandslike Pepsi, Coca-Cola and Oreo are turning to
the crowd. It’s not only the popular (and cheap) thing to do.
It’s good marketing.
Last year Coke made a big splash when it announced that
it would shift it’s business model to be more open. Since
then the company has been working with customers to
enhance communications and even rely on consumers for
product development. Last year the company asked its 50
million fans on Facebook (at the time) to suggest an
invention, cause or social app that could spread happiness.
60.
Crowdsourcing
Starbucks –an ideas forum where
customers are invited to share, vote, discuss
and see – “You know better than anyone else
what you want from Starbucks. So tell us.
What’s your Starbucks Idea? Revolutionary
or simple – we want to hear it. Share your
ideas, tell us what you think of other people’s
ideas and join the discussion. We’re here,
and we’re ready to make ideas happen. Let’s
get started.”
Crowdfunding
Crowdfunding isthe practice of funding a
project or venture by raising monetary
contributions from a large number of people,
typically via the internet.
A collective effort by consumers who network
and pool their money together, usually via
the Internet, in order to invest in and support
efforts initiated by other people or
organizations.
Smart City
By2030, roughly 66%, or 5 billion people will live in
urban areas. It is about 80% of the urban population in
Western and Industrialized countries. It is expected
that Asia and Africa will reach at 50% of urban
population by 2020 and 2035, respectively. The urban
life is consisting of various environmental hazards like,
lower level of sustainability, more energy consumption,
more population and more waste generation etc. This
not only represents a massive challenge in how we
build and manage cities but a significant opportunity to
improve the lives of billions of people.
72.
Smart City
Risingto that challenge, engineers worldwide are
turning to new technology such as the Cyber
‐
Physical Systems, 5G, AI and data analytics ‐
searching for new approaches and solutions that
will improve city transportation, water and waste
management, energy usage, and a host of other
infrastructure is sues that underpin the operation
of cities and the lifestyle of urban citizens. The city
should be “Smart” after practicing these ways
through smart programming and planning
management.
73.
Smart City
Asmart city is an innovative city that uses
information and communication
technologies (ICTs) and other means to
improve quality of life, efficiency of urban
operation and services, and
competitiveness, while ensuring that it
meets the needs of present and future
generations with respect to economic,
social and environmental aspects.
74.
Smart City
Asmart city is an urban area that uses
different types of electronic data collection
sensors to supply information which is
used to manage assets and resources
efficiently.
A smart city may therefore be more
prepared to respond to challenges than
one with a simple "transactional"
relationship with its citizens.
75.
Smart City
Smartcity as high-tech intensive and advanced
city that connects people, information, and
city elements using new technologies in order
to create a sustainable, greener city,
competitive and innovative commerce and
increased life quality.
Smart city means using all available
technologies and resources, investing in human
and social capital for improving the quality of
life for everyone.
Technologies of SmartCity
Open-data initiatives: New York City's BigApps
competition, which produce useful and resource-
saving apps to improve cities and keep citizens
informed. Things like air quality, restaurant
sanitation scores, building inspection scores and
impending legislation should be readily available
for all citizens.
Parking apps that show drivers where the nearest
available parking spot it. These will save
commuters time, gas, emissions and money, while
also easing the flow of traffic.
81.
Technologies of SmartCity
Apps that let users "adopt" city property — trash cans,
call boxes, trees, fire hydrants, etc. — so the city doesn't
have to spend money sending personnel to tend to them.
Boston and Honolulu already have something similar in
place, through Code for America, and these projects
make citizens feel more invested in their neighborhood.
High-tech waste management systems.
Pay As You Throw (PAYT) garbage disposal would
encourage people to recycle more and waste less,
while using tools like RFID could improve sorting so
recyclable plastic bottles don't end up in landfills.
82.
Technologies of SmartCity
All-digital and easy-to-use parking payment systems — think
EZ-pass for parking. We don't want to put receipts on the
dashboard or be confined to time limits that make us run out
to put more coins in the meter (if you're going to keep money
meters, at least let us add money via an app). It's fine that
you charge for parking, but improve the system.
A city guide app, with information about museums, parks,
landmarks, public art, restaurants and real-time traffic data.
These apps help citizens and tourists alike improve their
experience in the city.
83.
Technologies of SmartCity
Touchscreens around the city — whether it's a kiosk to buy a
MetroCard or the TVs in taxis — should be bacteria-resistant.
Wi-Fi in subway stations and on trains, along with weather
information at every station.
Sustainable and energy efficient residential and commercial
real estate.
Dynamic kiosks that display real-time information, concerning
traffic, weather and local news, like Urbanflow in Helsinki.
App or social media-based emergency alert and crisis
response systems — every citizen should have access to vital
information. Whether it's an alert about a crime that just
happened or advice for a storm approaching the city.
84.
Technologies of SmartCity
Police forces that use real-time data to monitor and
prevent crime.
More public transit, high-speed trains, and bus
rapid transit (BRT) to help citizens traverse the city
with speed and low emissions.
Smart climate control systems in homes and
businesses, for example, the Nest thermostat.
85.
Technologies of SmartCity
Nest was one of the most famous and successful artificial
intelligence startups and it was acquired by Google in 2014 for
$3.2 billion. The Nest Learning Thermostat uses behavioral
algorithms to save energy based on your behavior and schedule.
It employs a very intelligent machine learning process that
learns the temperature you like and programs itself in about a
week. Moreover, it will automatically turn off to save energy, if
nobody is at home.
In fact, it is a combination of both – artificial intelligence as well
as Bluetooth low-energy.
86.
Technologies of SmartCity
Charging stations, like the solar-powered
Strawberry Tree in Serbia. They also function as bus
stops and Wi-Fi hot spots.
87.
Technologies of SmartCity
Roofs covered with solar panels or gardens.
You could even generate solar energy on bike
paths, like Amsterdam's SolaRoad.
88.
Technologies of SmartCity
Bike-sharing programs, like in Paris, Washington, D.C., and
the ones coming to Los Angeles and New York. And bike
parking would be nice, too — maybe even underground and
machine-driven, like the Eco Cycle in Japan.
89.
Technologies of SmartCity
A sharing economy, instead of a buying
economy. If we share or rent from each
other, we each need to buy and store
fewer goods — think Rent the Runway,
Netflix, Airbnb. On a similar note, there
should be apps to help you find charities
that actually need the stuff you want to
toss, such as Zealous Good in Chicago.
90.
Technologies of SmartCity
Airbnb is an American company which operates an
online marketplace and hospitality service for people
to lease or rent short-term lodging including
holiday cottages, apartments, homestays, hostel
beds, or hotel rooms, to participate in or facilitate
experiences related to tourism such as walking tours
, and to make reservations at restaurants. The
company does not own any real estate or conduct
tours; it is a broker which receives percentage
service fees in conjunction with every booking. Like
all hospitality services, Airbnb is an example of
collaborative consumption and sharing
91.
Technologies of SmartCity
Netflix specializes in and provides streaming media
and video-on-demand online and DVD by mail. In
2013, Netflix expanded into film and
television production as well as online distribution.
It is a widely popular content-on-demand service that
uses predictive technology to offer recommendations
on the basis of consumers’ reaction, interests,
choices, and behavior. The technology examines from
a number of records to recommend movies based on
your previous liking and reactions.
92.
Technologies of SmartCity
Widespread use of traffic rerouting apps, such as
Greenway and Waze. The average person spends
60 hours in traffic each year, according to Greenway;
these apps calculate the best route for each driver to
speed up traffic flow and reduce CO2 emissions.
They also ensure that a traffic jam on one boulevard
doesn't just get displaced to another area.
93.
Technologies of SmartCity
Water-recycling systems, because while
water covers 70% of the earth, we're not
preserving the resource the way we should.
Crowdsourced urban planning, like
Brickstarter.
Brickstarter is a Finland-based
civic crowdfunding website. The site focuses
on crowdfunding urban renewal,
architectural and public art projects
94.
Technologies of SmartCity
Broadband Internet access for all citizens —
maybe Google Fiber? — which will reduce
the digital divide and spur economic growth.
Mobile payments. Everywhere. For food,
apparel and public transportation.
Ride-sharing programs: Because it's a waste
of money and gas to have two cars go the
same place when neither is filled to capacity.

Cloud of Things:ClouT
ClouT’s overall concept is leveraging the
Cloud Computing as an enabler to bridge the
Internet of Things with Internet of People via
Internet of Services, to establish an efficient
communication and collaboration platform
exploiting all possible information sources to
make the cities smarter and to help them
facing the emerging challenges such as
efficient energy management, economic
growth and development.
Smart Home
Ahome equipped with lighting, heating, and
electronic devices that can be controlled remotely
by smartphone or computer.
Smart Home" is the term commonly used to define a
residence that has appliances, lighting, heating, air
conditioning, TVs, computers, entertainment audio
& video systems, security, and camera systems that
are capable of communicating with one another and
can be controlled remotely by a time schedule, from
any room in the home, as well as remotely from any
location in the world by phone or internet.
100.
Smart Home Devices
Many smart home devices now include the ability
to learn your behavior patterns and help you save
money by adjusting the settings on your
thermostat or other appliances in an effort to
increase convenience and save energy. For
example, turning your oven on when you leave
work instead of waiting to get home is a very
convenient ability. A thermostat that knows when
you’re home and adjusts the temperature
accordingly can help you save money by not
heating the house when you’re out.
101.
Smart Home Devices
Lighting is another place where you might
see basic artificial intelligence; by setting
defaults and preferences, the lights around
your house (both inside and outside) might
adjust based on where you are and what
you’re doing; dimmer for watching TV,
brighter for cooking, and somewhere in the
middle for eating, for example. The uses of
AI in smart homes are limited only by our
imagination.
102.
Artificial intelligence
Artificialintelligence (AI) is an area of
computer science that emphasizes the
creation of intelligent machines that work
and react like humans. Some of the
activities computers with artificial
intelligence are designed for include:
Speech recognition
Learning
Planning
Problem solving
103.
Artificial Intelligence
FacebookCEO Mark Zuckerberg has already
showed us what is possible with artificial
intelligence, as he took this year to code a
virtual assistant for his house.
While having AI make sure we turned the oven
off before we leave the house might be a couple
years away for most of us, there's no doubt the
technology will change our lives.
Gartner recently pointed to AI and machine
learning as two disruptive trends on 2017.
104.
Artificial intelligence
Artificialintelligence is the simulation of
human intelligence processes by machines,
especially computer systems. These
processes include learning (the acquisition
of information and rules for using the
information), reasoning (using the rules to
reach approximate or definite conclusions),
and self-correction. Particular applications
of AI include expert systems, speech
recognition and machine vision.
105.
Types of artificialintelligence
Type 1: Reactive machines. An example is Deep
Blue, the IBM chess program that beat Garry
Kasparov in the 1990s. Deep Blue can identify
pieces on the chess board and make predictions,
but it has no memory and cannot use past
experiences to inform future ones. It analyzes
possible moves -- its own and its opponent -- and
chooses the most strategic move. Deep Blue and
Google's AlphaGO were designed for narrow
purposes and cannot easily be applied to another
situation.
106.
Types of artificialintelligence
Type 2: Limited memory. These AI systems can use
past experiences to inform future decisions. Some of
the decision-making functions in autonomous vehicles
have been designed this way. Observations used to
inform actions happening in the not-so-distant future,
such as a car that has changed lanes. These
observations are not stored permanently.
Type 3: Theory of mind. This is a psychology term. It
refers to the understanding that others have their own
beliefs, desires and intentions that impact the
decisions they make. This kind of AI does not yet exist.
107.
Types of artificialintelligence
Type 4: Self-awareness. In this
category, AI systems have a sense of
self, have consciousness. Machines with
self-awareness understand their current
state and can use the information to infer
what others are feeling. This type of AI
does not yet exist.
108.
Examples of AItechnology
Robotics is also a major field related to AI. Robots require
intelligence to handle tasks such as object manipulation
and navigation, along with sub-problems of localization,
motion planning and mapping.
Robotics is an interdisciplinary branch of engineering
and science that includes mechanical engineering,
electrical engineering, computer science, and others.
Robotics deals with the design, construction, operation,
and use of robots, as well as computer systems for their
control, sensory feedback, and information processing.
Examples of AItechnology
Machine learning is a type of artificial intelligence (AI)
that allows software applications to become more
accurate in predicting outcomes without being
explicitly programmed. The basic premise of machine
learning is to build algorithms that can receive input
data and use statistical analysis to predict an output
value within an acceptable range.
Machine learning is a method of data analysis that
automates analytical model building. It is a branch of
artificial intelligence based on the idea that machines
should be able to learn and adapt through experience.
112.
Examples of AItechnology
Machine Learning is the science of getting
computers to learn and act like humans do, and
improve their learning over time in autonomous
fashion, by feeding them data and information in the
form of observations and real-world interactions.”
Machine learning is the science of getting a
computer to act without programming.
Mathematical analysis of machine learning
algorithms and their performance is a well-defined
branch of theoretical computer science often referred
to as computational learning theory.
113.
Examples of AItechnology
Machine learning algorithms are often categorized as being
supervised or unsupervised. Supervised algorithms require
humans to provide both input and desired output, in
addition to furnishing feedback about the accuracy of
predictions during training. Once training is complete, the
algorithm will apply what was learned to new data.
Unsupervised algorithms do not need to be trained with
desired outcome data. Instead, they use an iterative
approach called deep learning to review data and arrive at
conclusions. Unsupervised learning algorithms are used
for more complex processing tasks than supervised learning
systems.
114.
Examples of AItechnology
Deep learning is a subset of machine learning
that, in very simple terms, can be thought of as
the automation of predictive analytics.
Deep learning (also known as deep structured
learning or hierarchical learning) is part of a
broader family of machine learning methods
based on learning data representations, as
opposed to task-specific algorithms. Learning can
be supervised, semi-supervised or unsupervised.
115.
Examples of AItechnology
The processes involved in machine learning are similar to
that of data mining and predictive modeling. Both require
searching through data to look for patterns and adjusting
program actions accordingly. Many people are familiar with
machine learning from shopping on the internet and being
served ads related to their purchase. This happens
because recommendation engines use machine learning to
personalize online ad delivery in almost real time. Beyond
personalized marketing, other common machine learning
use cases include fraud detection, spam filtering, network
security threat detection, predictive maintenance and
building news feeds.
116.
Examples of AItechnology
Facebook's News Feed, for example, uses machine
learning to personalize each member's feed. If a
member frequently stops scrolling to read or "like" a
particular friend's posts, the News Feed will start to
show more of that friend's activity earlier in the feed.
Behind the scenes, the software is simply using
statistical analysis and predictive analytics to identify
patterns in the user's data and use those patterns to
populate the News Feed. Should the member no
longer stop to read, like or comment on the friend's
posts, that new data will be included in the data set
and the News Feed will adjust accordingly.
118.
Examples of AItechnology
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML)
are two very hot buzzwords right now, and often
seem to be used interchangeably.
They are not quite the same thing, but the
perception that they are can sometimes lead to
some confusion. So I thought it would be worth
writing a piece to explain the difference.
Both terms crop up very frequently when the topic is
Big Data, analytics, and the broader waves of
technological change which are sweeping through
our world.
119.
Examples of AItechnology
In short, the best answer is that:
Artificial Intelligence is the broader concept
of machines being able to carry out tasks in
a way that we would consider “smart”.
And,
Machine Learning is a current application of
AI based around the idea that we should
really just be able to give machines access
to data and let them learn for themselves.
120.
AI applications
AIin healthcare. The biggest bets are on improving patient
outcomes and reducing costs. Companies are applying
machine learning to make better and faster diagnoses than
humans. One of the best known healthcare technologies is
IBM Watson. It understands natural language and is capable
of responding to questions asked of it. The system mines
patient data and other available data sources to form a
hypothesis, which it then presents with a confidence scoring
schema. Other AI applications include chatbots, a computer
program used online to answer questions and assist
customers, to help schedule follow-up appointments or
aiding patients through the billing process, and virtual health
assistants that provide basic medical feedback.
121.
AI applications
AIin business. Robotic process automation is
being applied to highly repetitive tasks normally
performed by humans. Machine learning algorithms
are being integrated into analytics and CRM
platforms to uncover information on how to better
serve customers. Chatbots have been incorporated
into websites to provide immediate service to
customers. Automation of job positions has also
become a talking point among academics and IT
consultancies such as Gartner and Forrester.
122.
AI applications
AIin education. AI can automate grading, giving educators
more time. AI can assess students and adapt to their needs,
helping them work at their own pace. AI tutors can provide
additional support to students, ensuring they stay on track. AI
could change where and how students learn, perhaps even
replacing some teachers.
AI in finance. AI applied to personal finance applications,
such as Mint or Turbo Tax, is upending financial institutions.
Applications such as these could collect personal data and
provide financial advice. Other programs, IBM Watson being
one, have been applied to the process of buying a home.
123.
AI applications
AIin law. The discovery process, sifting through of
documents, in law is often overwhelming for humans.
Automating this process is a better use of time and a more
efficient process. Startups are also building question-and-
answer computer assistants that can sift programmed-to-
answer questions by examining the taxonomy and ontology
associated with a database.
AI in manufacturing. This is an area that has been at the
forefront of incorporating robots into the workflow. Industrial
robots used to perform single tasks and were separated from
human workers, but as the technology advanced that
changed.
124.
AI applications
Anindustrial robot is a robot system used for
manufacturing. Industrial robots are automated,
programmable and capable of movement on two or more
axes.

me to call Jerry at eight o’clock,” and the assistant will respond by
finding information, relaying information from your phone, or sending
commands to other apps.

Virtual Personal Assistants
Siri is one of the most popular personal assistant offered by
Apple in iPhone and iPad. The friendly female voice-activated
assistant interacts with the user on a daily routine. She assists
us to find information, get directions, send messages, make
voice calls, open applications and add events to the calendar.
Siri uses machine-learning technology in order to get smarter
and capable-to-understand natural language questions and
requests. It is surely one of the most iconic examples of
machine learning abilities of gadgets.

Virtual Personal Assistants
AIis important in these apps, as they collect information on
your requests and use that information to better recognize
your speech and serve you results that are tailored to your
preferences. Microsoft says that Cortana “continually
learns about its user” and that it will eventually develop the
ability to anticipate users’ needs. Virtual personal
assistants process a huge amount of data from a variety of
sources to learn about users and be more effective in
helping them organize and track their information.

getting smarter and adding new features. It is
a revolutionary product that can help you to
search the web for information, schedule
appointments, shop, control lights, switches,
thermostats, answers questions, reads
audiobooks, reports traffic and weather,
gives info on local businesses, provides sports
scores and schedules, and more using the
Alexa Voice Service.

Flying Drones
The flyingdrones are already shipping products to customers
home – though on a test mode. They indicate a powerful
machine learning system that can translate the environment into
a 3D model through sensors and video cameras.
The sensors and cameras are able to notice the position of the
drones in the room by attaching them to the ceiling. Trajectory
generation algorithm guides the drone on how and where to
move. Using a Wi-Fi system, we can control the drones and use
them for specific purposes – product delivery, video-making, or
news reporting.

Industry 4.0
Industry4.0 is a name for the current trend of
automation and data exchange in manufacturing
technologies. It includes cyber-physical systems,
the Internet of things, cloud computing and
cognitive computing. Industry 4.0 is commonly
referred to as the fourth industrial revolution.
A cyber-physical (also styled cyberphysical)
system (CPS) is a mechanism that is controlled or
monitored by computer-based algorithms, tightly
integrated with the Internet and its users.
FinTech
FinTech isa computer programs and other
technology used to support or enable
banking and financial services. "fintech is
one of the fastest-growing areas for venture
capitalists"
Financial technology (FinTech or fintech) is
the new technology and innovation that
aims to compete with traditional financial
methods in the delivery of financial
services.

Blockchain
This isa distributed ledger technology that makes Bitcoin,
Stellar (Lumens), Ethereum, and others possible by
providing a record of transactions and confirming who
has what at any given moment. Its security is assured by
the sophisticated cryptographic processes. The
immediate impact of blockchain technology may not be
clear for the non-technological eye, however it will
certainly improve existing systems within society at large.
Blockchain is the world's leading software platform for
digital assets. Offering the largest production block chain
platform in the world
135.
Bitcoin
Bitcoin isa cryptocurrency and worldwide
payment system. It is the first
decentralized digital currency, as the
system works without a central bank or
single administrator. A global network of
computers uses blockchain technology
to jointly manage the database that
records Bitcoin transactions. That is,
Bitcoin is managed by its network, and not
any one central authority.
136.
Bitcoin
Bitcoin isa digital currency created in 2009. It
follows the ideas set out in a white paper by the
mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto, whose true identity
has yet to be verified. Bitcoin offers the promise of
lower transaction fees than traditional online
payment mechanisms and is operated by a
decentralized authority, unlike government-issued
currencies. Today's market cap for all bitcoin
(abbreviated BTC or, less frequently, XBT) in
circulation exceeds $7 billion.
137.
Recommendation System
Arecommender system or a recommendation system is a
subclass of information filtering system that seeks to predict
the "rating" or "preference" a user would give to an item.
It is a tool that lets algorithm developers predict what a user
may or may not like among a list of given items.
Recommendation engines are a pretty interesting alternative
to search fields, as recommendation engines help users
discover products or content that they may not come across
otherwise. This makes recommendation engines a great part
of web sites and services such as Facebook, YouTube,
Amazon, and more.

Li-Fi
Li-Fi isa short form of light fidelity. It is a new
technology for transmitting data from one device to
another device. Li-Fi technology uses light to
transmit data between devises instead of radio
frequency like Wi-Fi. In technical terms, Li-Fi is a
visible light communications system that is capable
of transmitting data at high speeds over the visible
light spectrum, ultraviolet and infrared radiation.
The end use “Li-Fi” technology is similar to Wi- Fi
technology.
