As Our Lives Become More And More Emersed In Technology, Certain Traditions Are Being Done Away With.
As our lives become more and more emersed in technology, certain traditions are being done away with. Much like every industry out there, banking is embracing technology. Since online banking, we have come a long way, which marked the beginning of the technological revolution in banking. Today, cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or Ethereum are more a part of the norm than ever before. As we embrace cryptocurrency, a new way of banking has come to light and is likely here to stay.

An increasingly networked world has given rise to more decentralized power infrastructure. These virtual power plants (VPPs) are made up of remotely-managed smaller units, many of which make use of renewable energy. Virtual power plants provide a degree of flexibility unheard of in traditional plants, allowing for easier management not tied to a large and unseemly facility. It also lays the groundwork for a transition to sustainable energy sources that can compensate for the variability of factors such as sun and wind.

Artificial intelligence has proven to be a disruptive technology with applications across every sector. Sensing the potential to dominate the market early, many enterprising tech companies have put their efforts toward improving the foundations of AI and discovering new use cases for it. AI is, of course, a broad term that can encompass any algorithmic technology, ranging from autonomous vehicles to medical record systems. It is therefore challenging to define the nebulous “AI race” in certain terms, with countries trying to get an edge on their national rivals without necessarily knowing what advantages this will provide. Nevertheless, the proliferation of tech companies offers some insight into which countries have best explored this new frontier for technology.
China has proven itself to be a contender in terms of both government support for AI and the generation of massive quantities of data to improve machine learning algorithms. The country has declared its intentions to become a global AI leader by 2030, with goals to hit an industry value of $150 billion. Of course, the question then becomes what AI technology is used for by the CCP. Critics of China have accused the country of leveraging new technologies for the purpose of monitoring and suppressing its citizens. One then wonders what the benefits of outpacing China in the AI race truly is—is the end goal something that other countries in the world should strive for?

What Virtual Reality looked like in the 1980s and early 1990s. People were always looking at their hands, weren’t they?

A smart energy grid is a two-way electrical framework that relies on Big Data Analytics and IoT technologies to enable smart metering of electricity. The advantages of smart grids include a more efficient method of electricity transmission, a quicker containment and restoration after electrical emergencies, lowered costs for utility operations and management teams, and lower energy bills for consumers. Smart grids enable customers to become more proactive and educated about their electricity usage as they evolve into prosumers who also contribute to the electricity supply. In addition to residential customers, businesses also use smart meters to track their energy and track how costs differ according to building areas.
