As our world becomes increasingly interconnected, we will see a huge increase in data coming from many sources like smartphones, wearable devices, smart home systems, or even industrial sensors. This growth in data not only brings great opportunities for innovation and advancement, but also brings challenges in how we collect, process, and understand it. To tackle these challenges, it is crucial to understand the value of data, as it influences decisions that impact our lives and businesses. This is where Signal Processing and Analytics become essential. It acts as a key tool that changes raw data into useful insights, helping us make sense of complex information and respond in real-time.
