Introducing Z-Wave Technology

The video below is a good presentation on Z-Wave. I'll save words for now.

Wearable Technology, Applications, and Products

This figure is quite good for depicting the wearable technology in different areas and the products associated. Unlike CES 2014, the wearable products are more versatile, not limited to watch-like or bracelet-like devices. We may discuss more about these different wearable  devices soon.

To overcome the unreliability of connectionless Internet Protocol (IP), Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) provides connection-oriented protocol that enable you to

• send longer message
• make sure your messages arrive at the destination

Internet Protocol (IP)
