3 IoT Predictions for 2018

  Commercial devices are rapidly evolving to be powerful enough to run full-fledged operating systems and complex algorithms. Edge Computing, which refers to the fact that part of the work happens right at the edge of the network where IoT connects the physical world to the Cloud, involves a great deal more than having computation and data processing on IoT devices.

A fundamental aspect of this concept is the strong and seamless integration between IoT and the Cloud, bringing the physical and computation worlds closer together in a profound way.

The next developmental wave of resource-efficient machine learning algorithms will advance the potential for Edge Devices to take over a growing percentage of computing requirements. Due to its ability to increase privacy and reduce latency, Edge Computing is expected to evolve greatly over the coming year.

Better Blockchain Adoption in IoT

The Internet of Things has already had a profound effect on our lives, and this technology promises to further alter our world dramatically over the coming year. While the three categories discussed in this article will evolve greatly, there's no way to be certain about everything that will come to fruition in 2018. But remember: that's what makes technology so exciting!
