👉 Connected computing, also known as the Internet of Computing Things (IoCT), refers to a networked ecosystem where physical devices, objects, and systems are interconnected through the internet or other communication networks, enabling them to exchange data, process information collaboratively, and interact intelligently. This paradigm integrates computing capabilities directly into everyday objects, from smart home appliances to industrial machinery, allowing them to collect, analyze, and share data in real-time. By leveraging sensors, actuators, and cloud computing resources, connected devices can perform complex tasks, automate processes, and provide enhanced user experiences. The interconnectivity fosters smarter decision-making, improved efficiency, and the creation of new services and applications that were previously unimaginable. However, it also introduces challenges related to security, privacy, and data management that must be addressed to fully realize its potential.
