ITPEC FE Subject A April 2024 Question 53
Which of the following is an appropriate computing concept that describes the idea of physical objects, such as devices, vehicles, and buildings, that are connected to the Internet and are able to identify themselves to other devices?
Explanation
Internet of things — everyday physical objects are connected to the Internet and identify themselves to other devices.
In IoT, devices, vehicles, buildings and appliances carry sensors, identifiers and network connections, so they exchange data with other things and with servers without a person operating them.
Answer (c)
Why not others:
- •(a) Computer networks — interconnected computers sharing resources and data; the term does not describe ordinary objects identifying themselves
- •(b) Deep learning — machine learning with multilayer neural networks; it can analyse IoT data but says nothing about connecting objects
- •(d) Network topology — the layout of a network's nodes and links, such as star, bus or ring
Key rule: When a question stresses things other than computers, such as devices, vehicles or buildings, connected to the Internet, it describes IoT.
