Fog Computing, the Next Big Thing?

Storage plays a very significant role in technology... almost every gadget... every system developed should use storage... Anything that uses data requires storage. The common storage that everyone are aware about are: the computer's internal memory, disks/diskettes (back in the days), external storage devices such as thumb drives, external hard disks and of course, the ever so huge mainframes. Until "Cloud" came, where, users store their data that I can almost perceive as "virtual storage". You can save your data without any physical storage device. All you need is your computer/mobile gadget, internet connection and a cloud access.

Think of cloud like a hosting service online. A third party is required to host the cloud storage and these are the companies that own and maintain the physical storage systems. Nowadays Cloud storage is used by companies, to keep their client's portfolio's, store correspondences, and so on.  Cloud has become very effective and popular, more people use it, and the demand increases as the time passes.

To improve the transmission of data, the idea of Fog computing was introduced. With Fog computing. contents will be be delivered through a more geographically based platform. The closer, the better, the transmission is quicker.

Cisco systems, the company that is so keen to be on top of the Internet of Things aka Internet o Everything. The data will be transmitted wirelessly, but unlike Cloud, Fog is believed to be way much faster, more mobile, reliable, and can be easily adopted by the different industries.

Fog will not replace Cloud but to enhance or optimize its capabilities by user data isolation that should remain on the edge.

When everything is automated, transmitted wirelessly, Fog will lessen the d
uration of transmission and would improve every user experience.

WHAT on Earth is IOT?

THAT was my  question when I read an article about IoT. First, let me just tell you what IOT stands for - Internet of Things. It does sound so fancy... a mouthful... yet again, fancy.

It's like, a world full of chocolates... or of awesomeness. Well actually I did have a read and IOT is really awesome. To give you an easier insight here's CISCO's video:

So now the question is how is everything going to be connected to the internet? And how could everything interact without human to human or human to computer interaction? This is through unique numbers assigned to everything - people, animals, objects or any natural or man made objects that can be given an IP address and able to transmit all information over a network.

I have researched for possible scenarios that may help you visualize how IoT works.  Here are 2 of my favourites:

1) The ability to single out a chair from half way across the world and figure out if it is occupied, and the identity or even the full profile of the person / animal / occupying the chair.  (READ:

How the Internet of Things will change the world)

2) A car with built in sensors would be able to alert the driver when the tire pressure is low.
READ Internet of Things (IoT)

IoT is controversial and often a big topic of every debate. There are things that we have to consider when we go online... risks, precautions, factors that may cause you money, reputation or your own identity. What more if your existence can be controlled by the just series of numbers? What are the security measures that should be put in place? Would a fire wall work? Would the data be protected from hackers or cyber thieves? Can someone's identity can possibly be interchanged to a different person? What if the database was formatted? What if a virus infected the whole network? Would the world stop?

It's fancy yes. But then again... is the world ready for the next level of awesomeness?
