POWERPOINT
PRESENTATIN ON:
• Python and microsoft excel
• Understanding AI, cloud computing and internet of things
• Other interesting technologies and their impact on businesses
PYTHON AND MICROSOFT
• Python and microsoft excel are two robust mechanisms that can remarkably assist with data
analytics
• •Python libraries such as Pandas,NumPy and SciPy bring forth systematic data compositions and
operations for data analysis
• •Matplotlib, seaborn, Plotly libraries allow creation of interactional and dynamic visualisation
• •Scikit-learn, TensorFlow and PyTorch pave the way for constructing and training machine learning
models
• •Excel spreadsheet composition enables trouble-free and undemanding data organisation and
storage
• •Built-in charts, graphs and conditional formatting allows fast visualisation and exploration•Excel
has features that assist with summarising data, filtering and analyse data such as Pivot tables and
Power Pivot
• Python can study and write Excel files exercising libraries like openpyxl and xlrd
• Python scripts can computerise Excel duties such as importing data, formatting and creating charts.
• Python’s expert system and statistical libraries can be practiced to excel data
• •Data analysts can use the strengths of both Python and Excel to computerise repetitive tasks and
smoothly merge and analyse large datasets
AI, CLOUD COMPUTING AND
INTERNERT OF THINGS
• ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
• Artificial Intelligence(AI) refers to the personation or cloning of human
intelligence in machines which allows them to think, learn and act like
humans
• •AI systems can distinguish and grasp their environment and surroundings
through sensors and data
• •They have the ability to process and analyse information using algorithms
and machine learning
• •AI systems include virtual assistants such as Siri•The most common
examples of AI are google translate, Netflix and Tesla
• •AI improves efficiency and productivity, enhances customer experiences,
accuracy and decision making
• The disadvantages of AI are lack of job opportunities, economic disruptions,
bias and discrimination in decision making.
CLOUD COMPUTING
• On-demand access to computing resources over the internet or private
network- Pay-as-you-go pricing model- Scalable, flexible, and cost-
effectiveTypes of Cloud Computing- Public Cloud (e.g., AWS, Azure, Google
Cloud)
• TYPES OF CLOUD COMPUTING:
• Public Cloud (e.g., AWS, Azure, Google Cloud)- Private Cloud (dedicated
resources within an organization)- Hybrid Cloud (combination of public and
private cloud)
• Cloud Computing Services- Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)- Platform as a
Service (PaaS)- Software as a Service (SaaS)Benefits of Cloud Computing-
Increased agility and flexibility
• Common Cloud Computing Applications- Data storage and backup- Web
hosting and development- Business applications (e.g., CRM, ERP)- Artificial
intelligence and machine learning- Internet of Things (IoT) managemenduced
capital and operational expenses- Scalability and reliability
 INTERNET OF THINGS
• Network of physical devices, vehicles, home appliances, and other items- Embedded with sensors,
software, and connectivity- Collect and exchange data, enabling interaction with the physical world
and each other
• IoT Characteristics- Connectivity: Devices communicate with each other and the internet- Sensing:
Devices collect data from their environment- Actuation: Devices perform actions based on data and
programming- Intelligence: Devices analyse data and make decisions
• IoT Applications- Smart Homes: Automated lighting, temperature, and security systems- Industrial
Automation: Predictive maintenance, quality control, and supply chain management- Wearables:
Fitness trackers, smartwatches, and health monitors- Transportation: Connected vehicles, traffic
management, and logistics- Healthcare: Remote patient monitoring, medical device integration, and
telemedicine- Agriculture: Precision farming, crop monitoring, and livestock management- Energy
Management: Smart grids, energy efficiency, and renewable energy systems
• IoT Benefits- Increased Efficiency- Improved Productivity- Enhanced Decision-Making- New Business
Models- Improved Quality of Life
• IoT Challenges- Security and Privacy- Interoperability and Standards- Data Management and
Analytics- Connectivity and Infrastructure- Regulatory and Ethical IssuesLet me know if you'd like me
to reorganize or expand on these points!
