From Isolated Systems to Intelligent Ecosystems: Evolution of Intelligent Computing through Technology Convergence

Abstract

The field of computing has undergone a remarkable transformation, evolving from basic computational systems to highly intelligent and autonomous platforms. This evolution has been largely driven by the convergence of advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data, Cloud Computing, Edge Computing, and Blockchain. Technology convergence has enabled the integration of diverse systems, leading to the development of intelligent computing environments capable of real-time decision-making and adaptive learning. This paper explores the evolutionary journey of intelligent computing, highlighting key technological milestones, integration frameworks, and modern applications. It further examines the benefits and challenges associated with this convergence and
outlines future directions for research and innovation.
