Edge Computing:
In simpler terms, edge computing brings computation and data storage closer to the source of data. This reduces latency and bandwidth usage, leading to faster response times and more efficient data processing.
Imagine you're trying to order pizza. Instead of calling the pizza place directly, you ask your smart fridge. The fridge, instead of calling you, processes your order locally and sends only the essential information to the pizza place. This is basically edge computing.
Embedded Systems:
An embedded system is a computer system with a dedicated function within a larger machine or device. It's like a tiny computer that's built into something else. For example, the microchip in your car that controls the engine, the system in your smart TV, or even the brain of a robot.
These systems are designed to perform specific tasks efficiently and often operate in real-time, making them crucial for various applications.
