## Summary

Ryan Chacone, editor-in-chief of IoT For All, explains the concept of edge computing in IoT systems as a way to bypass cloud connectivity for latency-sensitive applications. He contrasts cloud processing with local processing on gateways or devices, using self-driving cars and security cameras as primary examples. The discussion highlights how local algorithms reduce data transmission costs and improve response times by filtering or acting on data at the 'edge' of the network.
