(20 cards)
What is the Internet of Things (IoT)?
A system where objects have unique identities and can send/receive information over a network without human intervention.
What are other names for IoT?
Internet of Everything, Internet of Anything, and Industrial Internet.
What are the five elements in IoT architecture?
Smart devices
Sensor devices
Wireless networks
Servers (or IoT cloud)
Interface devices (e.g., PC, smartphone).
Name three applications of IoT at different levels.
Individual level: Smart homes.
Organizational level: Smart logistics and agriculture.
Infrastructural level: Smart cities.
What are the three core capabilities of IoT?
Monitoring real-time information, data analysis and optimization, and automation.
What is one business value IoT provides?
Preventive maintenance based on data analytics to improve productivity and customer experience.
What are three challenges of IoT?
Security issues (e.g., attacks on critical equipment), privacy concerns, and technical reliability.
What is Web 2.0?
A collection of technologies and applications enabling user participation, social interaction, and collaboration (e.g., wikis, blogs).
How does Web 2.0 differ from Web 1.0?
Web 1.0 features static, read-only websites, while Web 2.0 enables read-write interactions with dynamic user engagement.
What are online social network services (SNS)?
A: Web-based services that let users:
Create a profile.
Connect with other users.
View and traverse connections.
What is social capital in the context of SNS?
The quality and number of connections a person or company has on a platform.
How do users build social capital on SNS?
By interacting through activities like sharing posts, messaging, and participating in group activities.
What critical business problem do SNSs face?
Monetizing their user base beyond advertisements, which are limited and raise privacy concerns.
How does Facebook exemplify SNS challenges?
It relies heavily on ads, which makes it vulnerable, compromises privacy, and provides little additional value to users.
What are examples of Web 2.0 tools?
Wikis, blogs, tagging, online reviews, and video sharing platforms.
How do IoT, 5G, cloud computing, data analytics, and AI reinforce each other?
These technologies work together to enhance IoT by improving connectivity (5G), enabling large-scale data storage and processing (cloud), analyzing data for actionable insights (data analytics), and automating responses (AI).
What is a social graph in SNS?
A representation of relationships in a social network, showing how users are connected through shared connections.
What are alternatives to ad-based revenue models for SNSs?
Social commerce (enabling transactions on the platform), subscription-based models, and monetizing data through partnerships.
How does trust contribute to social capital in SNSs?
Trust fosters deeper relationships, encourages user interaction, and creates a supportive community, enhancing social capital.
What are privacy concerns associated with IoT?
IoT gathers vast amounts of data, potentially leading to misuse, unauthorized access, or breaches of sensitive personal or organizational information.
