5G changes how we work, play, and collaborate

TwitterFacebook

The age of 5G has arrived, and we’re just beginning to see the true potential of 5G revolutionizing how we communicate, collaborate, work, play — essentially how we live in the digital age. With unheard of download speeds and extremely low latency, this next generation of wireless technology is purpose-built to make download lags, streaming glitches, and the dreaded mid-meeting face freeze relics of the past. 

In the first article in this series, we turned to experts at Qualcomm Technologies — the inventor of foundational technologies for 5G — to explain these new capabilities and why they’re so exciting. Now it’s time to geek out about some amazing experiences that 5G experts envision, and to speculate on the exciting future scenarios that we’ll owe to 5G.    Read more…

Here’s the piece of ‘Black Mirror’ tech people would be most likely to use

Despite the fact Black Mirror is a largely cynical show in which technology is often paired with the rapid, spiralling doom of mankind, it turns out a bunch of people would still like to test said technology out.

On Monday, YouGov released the results of a survey in which they asked British people which Black Mirror technologies they’d be willing to adopt. In total, 1,714 people took the survey, and each person had to rate how likely — from “Very Unlikely” to “Very Likely” — they would be to use each piece of tech featured in the show. Read more…

Although artificial intelligence (AI) has been around for decades, it has become increasingly prevalent in recent years. AI is an area of computer science that aims to create machines that work and interact like humans. This often includes the use of cognitive technologies, which are designed to augment human intelligence through the ability to understand, reason, learn, and interact like humans do

But with more interest in AI comes more misinformation as well. Many fear for the future of artificial intelligence and the potential for it to take over. However, AI technology is actually meant to supplement our intelligence, and help us better understand our data and work more efficiently. Companies like IBM—and its Watson technology—are at the forefront of this new era of man and machine working together, and a growing number of organisations are using AI to change their businesses and push society forward.
