Embedded systems are everywhere. Almost every aspect of today’s society incorporates embedded systems that allow us to live our lives the way we do.
This is due to the fact that modern technology, including equipment, consumer products, and tools often require a full-functioning system of commands and protocol communication to operate and perform specific tasks. After all, an embedded system is essentially a computer system dedicated to performing a specific task or set of tasks as part of a larger system.
Embedded systems are in our homes, incorporated into remote controls, alarm clocks, thermostats, and much more. Even on the road we see examples of embedded systems in action. Automobiles are constructed of hundreds of embedded systems that can operate at a single time, each serving a specific function like playing the radio, powering windows, and activating anti-lock brakes.
The workplace is also guaranteed to incorporate embedded systems. Without them, people wouldn’t be able to perform essential daily tasks such as printing, scanning or even taking the elevator. In short, embedded systems affect your life every day.
