When we talk about IoT, Bigdata or Machine learning, the three different things are distinct. These three have played the most exciting roles in Business Technology over the past few years. They are like the graphical depiction that arises with every new technology, and people often become flustered or overlap their uses for different purposes.
These three processes or systems are bringing drastic changes in our business too. Let me make a clear point about their difference and what role they play in our business technology.
What is IoT(Internet of Things)?
IoT is the interconnection between two devices. It allows devices to work as per the need for human input.
To frame it properly in the picture of understanding, IoT allows your refrigerator to interact with a can of Coke inside it. Without any kind of intervention from a human, the refrigerator will be able to see when the expiration date of the Coke is, then once it is past that date, it will automatically inform the user and order a new Coke.
What is Big Data?
Big data is a term that describes the large volume of data, both structured and unstructured. Big data can be analyzed for insights that lead to better decisions and strategic business moves.
It also means the organization can collect data on almost everything in huge quantities. Big data is the act of collecting and storing this data.
What is Machine Learning?
Machine learning is the science of getting computers to act without being explicitly programmed. In the past decade, machine learning has given us self-driving cars, practical speech recognition, effective web search, and a vastly improved understanding of the human genome.
Now, how are they connected?
As for now, IoT is small, which is going to be very huge in comparison with today, as it is vastly growing. Big data is already a collection of huge data which is been analyzed and stored, whereas Machine learning is similar to IoT, which is growing rapidly.
Devices that will be connected to the Internet of Things are going to create a huge amount of data, which would be needed to store and analyze and this is where Big Data is going to play its role. After that, Machine learning can use this large amount of data to improve the process and efficiency of systems. These things are again being processed back to devices connected with IoT, and the process starts again.
Each part has its own unique qualities and importance; this is how these three things are so interconnected to each other that they are gonna be the next business era. We can do the same thing at a time and not at all times in the other because at times they are required together, but at some times not as depends on the specific purpose.
