A pure cloud
computing service to
store most of your bulky
files online, in
conjunction with other
cloud apps like Google
Docs, Google Sheets,
and Google Slides.
APPLE’S iCLOUD
Is also used
as online storage,
perform backup,
and synchronize
with the rest of
your Apple
products.
Though there is a heated debate on the
efficiency of the Cloud against traditional storages
built in or attached as hardware, organizations and
businesses are slowly but surely migrating assets to
the cloud. There are even dedicated computers that
are centered on the cloud-Google's Chromebook is a
prime example.
MACHINE LEARNING AND NEURAL
NETWORKS
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS
Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) is a
technology that is designed to build
predictive models for solving complex tasks
through exposure to huge amounts of data.
An Artificial Neural Network is a
computational model inspired by the
structure and function of the human brain.
How does ANN work?
Artificial Neural Network works
by processing information through
multiple interconnected layers of
artificial neurons.
Artificial neuron receives input
data, performs a calculation, and passes
the result to the next layer of neurons.
Calculations involve assigning
weights to the input data and applying
activation functions to determine the
output.
APPLICATIONS OF ANN
Image Processing and Character
Recognition
ANN is used in image processing and
character recognition to detect bank fraud. It can
analyze images and identify patterns that are not
visible to the human eye. It can also recognize
characters in handwritten documents and
convert them into digital text.
Facial Recognition
ANN is used to recognize facial features as
seen in social media. It can analyze images and
identify faces, even if they are partially obscured or in
different lighting conditions.
Medical Diagnosis
ANN is used to diagnose cancer cells. It can
analyze medical images and identify abnormal cells
that may be cancerous. This technology is also
used to develop personalized treatment plans for
cancer patients. ANN is also used to analyze
satellite images of land for agricultural use, which
can help farmers optimize their crop yields.
Speech Recognition
ANN is capable of recognizing speech
patterns as seen when you use your phone
for word translations or commands. It can
analyze audio signals and convert them into
text.
Forecasting
ANN employs forecasting techniques and
predicts stock and cryptocurrency prices and
trends. It can analyze historical data and identify
patterns that can be used to make predictions
about future trends.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Artificial
Neural Networks
Advantages of Artificial Neural Networks
include their ability to learn from data, adapt to new
situations, and process complex patterns.
However, they can be computationally
expensive and require a large amount of training data.
Artificial Neural Networks can also suffer
from overfitting, where they perform well on training
data but poorly on new, unseen data.
CONCLUSION
THE INTERNET OF THINGS
The concept of connecting any
device with capable of connecting to
Internet to each other, and includes
everything from smartphones,
refrigerators, washing machines, automatic
lights and the entirety of your wearable
technology.
It has virtually limitless potential with the
growth of technology, and this is something some people
are not even aware of. Unfortunately, the security and
privacy are big concerns; with the connectivity of
thousands—even millions or billions of devices, how can
we be assured that our information stays secure? Will a
cybercriminal be able to hack into your microwave and
get access to the entire network?

CRYPTOCURRENCY
Blockchain
It serves as a public financial transaction
database that no one really owns it, and it becomes
untraceable during transfers.
Bitcoin (BTC)
—it was the leading cryptocurrency on the
market, released in 2009 that is decentralized.
Due to its high demand, many exchanges sell
bitcoin.
There are also lots variations using the similar
technology and concepts albeit with certain
tweaks; like Ethereum, Ripple, EOS and Litecoin,
have begun spreading since its release and are
In fact, Cryptocurrencies have become well-
accepted enough that governments and banks have
decided to influence the cryptocurrency market,
with many claiming it to be the future economy. It
has even become banned by some governments
because of the unpredictability of the market and the
lack of control over them.
The future of cryptocurrency has great
potential even with its challenges.
Today, one can pay for services or trade goods
through Cryptocurrency and selling it has become a rather
smart or bold move considering how it could rise or fall to
the extremes depending on the market. Like many of the
newer technologies introduced to us, the potential of
cryptocurrency has not yet been fully seen, as the market
will continue to develop over time.
