PEER POST 1
My name is Andy. I live in Erie PA with my wife and 18-month-old daughter. I am currently pursuing a BS in Information Technology. After driving 18 wheelers for 20 years I sold my truck to go in the office and dispatch which I have done for the last 6 years. I am not sure what IT field I want to get into yet, but all aspects of IT fascinate me.
With cross platform technologies I remember learning about how applications and programs can work on multiple operating systems. I have worked with cloud platforms like Microsoft Azure and AWS. The relationship between cloud computing, big data, and IoT are that IoT is a network of connected objects through the internet by people or devices and big data is the analytic platform of the data while cloud computing stores the data. An example an of IoT devices I use in everyday life is just the things I use around my house like a smart thermostat and smart garage door opener. I can use these things off an application on my phone no matter where I am. If I am away and want to change the temperature in the house I just get on my phone and change the temperature or if I want to open my garage door for someone or a package I can do that on my phone.
PEER POST 2
My name is Connor, and I’m an IT major with a concentration in software development. I hope to use the knowledge gained through this degree to enhance my professional life, though I haven’t quite nailed down exactly how that will play out, as I currently manage a dispensary.
I have done quite a bit of work with cloud platforms in the past, whether it was helping to market them, or using them for marketing needs. Thus, I’m familiar with the capabilities of cross-platform technologies and how they can be utilized to rapidly scale up or scale down a business’s capabilities. Big data, cloud computing, and IoT are all intrinsically intertwined. Cloud computing is used to power the backend of IoT devices and help sort and categorize the data gathered by IoT devices. In terms of IoT devices, they are everywhere now. I can start watching a YouTube video on my phone, cast it to my computer for a few minutes, and then finish watching it on my tv, all with a tap of a button.
