Latest Developments in the Field of IT
Welcome to the chapter on Latest Developments in the Field of IT for Class 6. In this chapter, you will learn about new technologies and trends in Information Technology (IT). By the end of this chapter, you will know about exciting changes in computers, the internet, and how IT is shaping our world!
Introduction
Information Technology (IT) is always changing and improving. New inventions and ideas make computers and the internet faster, safer, and more useful. Let’s explore some of the latest developments!
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
AI is when computers can think and learn like humans. AI helps in self-driving cars, smart assistants (like Siri and Alexa), and even in games.
Cloud Computing
Cloud computing lets us store and use data on the internet instead of just on our computer. Services like Google Drive and Dropbox use cloud computing.
Internet of Things (IoT)
IoT means connecting everyday things to the internet, like smart watches, smart TVs, and even refrigerators. These devices can share information and make life easier.
Cyber Security
As more things go online, keeping information safe is very important. Cyber security protects computers and data from hackers and viruses.
Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR)
VR lets you enter a computer-made world using special glasses. AR adds computer images to the real world, like games that show characters on your phone camera.
5G Technology
5G is the newest mobile network. It is much faster than older networks and helps us download and stream videos quickly.
Robotics
Robots are machines that can do work for us. Modern robots can help in hospitals, factories, and even at home.
