I think that ship has sailed. “Edge computing” is a well established phrase at this point. When I need to refer to the scenario you’re describing I usually say “local computation”.
- flyingcircus3 3y agoIf that's were the case, why would the entire first page of Google search results for "edge computing" refer to IOT, and processing data where it's created?
- fellowmartian 3y agoYou’re right of course, IoT is edge computing because it’s treated as company’s edge, while we can’t say the same for end users’ phones and computers.
- flyingcircus3 3y agoBut that's only because there aren't any compelling IOT applications in the consumer space. Companies are the users with distributed assets, not consumers.
