Image
Knowledge is Power This statement refers to how wisdom is like a sword that you can use in order to live and survive. Knowledge can help you overcome certain situations in your life.

Activity # 5.1 - Internet of Things as Theory of Media and Information

Image
Internet of Things a.) What is the Internet of Things? The Internet of Things is simply the concept of connecting any device with a switch to the internet. It is also the network of interconnected electronic devices that can sense or interact with their environment without face-to-face interaction.  b.) What brought this theory about?
