A new tech giant? Why you need to know about China’s LeEco
Posted by Karen Hurst in category: futurism
China is going to try to own tech and be the SV for the world within the next 7 years. This is definitely in process and many companies in China have been rejecting US tech products for the past several months due to US pressures about the S. China Sea and ramp up efforts to build their own tech companies to take down Apple, Google, Microsoft, etc. They do have the IP to possibly do it.
So, move over FB, Youtube, and Amazon, there is a new streaming media competitor on the horizon coming to online users near you. Lookout the remaining parts of Alphabet (namely Google), Amazon, and Microsoft.
China’s LeEco doesn’t come up much when China’s top tech firms are mentioned. Maybe it should.

DARPA wants to build very low frequency wireless systems
Posted by Karen Hurst in category: futurism
Well, we can easily figure out who this and how this will be used on.
Wireless transmitters that operate at very or ultra low frequencies (0.3‐30 kHz) typically require some big antenna complexes to handle their communications.
Scientists at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) said they are interested looking to eliminate that issue and develop smaller physical structures that could handle new long-distance communication applications.

5 Future Visions to Fuel Your Imagination of What’s Possible
Posted by Klaus Baldauf in category: futurism
Through the lens of imagination, humankind has the ability to see far beyond the present. The strongest of these guiding visions tend to coalesce and together steer the trajectory of where we’re headed—even if we don’t arrive exactly where expected.
But what fuels the imagination? The information we consume paints a picture of the world we inhabit. Both sci-fi and forecasting offer fertile ground for stimulating thoughts about the future, while also helping us imagine the steps necessary to get us closer or further from the destination.

These disasters are inevitable if Google becomes Obsolete
Posted by Karen Hurst in categories: futurism, internet
This article is hilarious! If Google ever becomes obsolete it will do so because a new tech player with new technology took over. Too say the world will collapse or panic will happen is not reality. Anyone who remembers DEC/ Digital Corporation, WANG, etc. will tell you that a tech company often becomes obsolete when the masses / users drop the company’s tech for another competitor; and this process typically takes a few years of decline when it happens.
In this time of the internet when we have a vast amount of information available that we can easily Google to find out. This search engine has proven itself to be the most efficient tool for the entire humanity. But imagine what will happen if Google becomes obsolete or shuts down entirely at some point in the future.
Considering all the vast ranges of functionalities Google can perform, I believe the aftermath will be devastating. In fact, Google did shut down once, for a few minutes and the whole world turned upside-down.
