New Age Revolution - IoT (Internet of Things)

While there is no universal definition for the IoT, the core concept is that everyday objects can be equipped with identifying, sensing, networking and processing capabilities that will allow them to communicate with one another and with other devices and services over the Internet to achieve some useful objective. The core concepts underlying the IoT are not new. For years, technologies such as RFID and sensor networks have been used in industrial and manufacturing contexts for tracking large-ticket items such as cranes and livestock.

The IoT has three inherent qualities:

1. Things – Any connected device that can generate data, whether it is a sensor, video camera, smartphone, medical device, or any other device.
2. Connectivity – The physical medium—wireless or wired networks, Bluetooth, software-defined networks—connecting devices to each other and to an IoT platform.
3. Platforms – The cloud or on-premise software applications that help you manage, configure and capture data from connected devices.

Examples of IoT abound and are increasingly becoming familiar conveniences in our daily lives: wearables, home automation, and security systems, and other smart devices. But the Internet of Things have proven to be more than consumer-driven applications.

Internet of Things (IoT) is a new paradigm that has changed the traditional way of living into a high-tech lifestyle. Smart cities, smart homes, pollution control, energy-saving, smart transportation, smart industries are such transformations due to IoT. A lot of crucial research studies and investigations have been done in order to enhance the technology through IoT. However, there are still a lot of challenges and issues that need to be addressed to achieve the full potential of IoT. These challenges and issues must be considered from various aspects of IoT such as applications, challenges, enabling technologies, social and environmental impacts, etc. The main goal of this review article is to provide a detailed discussion from both technological and social perspectives. The article discusses different challenges and key issues of IoT, architecture, and important application domains. Also, the article brings into light the existing literature and illustrated their contribution to different aspects of IoT. Moreover, the importance of big data and its analysis with respect to IoT has been discussed. This article would help the readers and researcher to understand the IoT and its applicability to the real world.

A great transformation can be observed in our daily routine life along with the increasing involvement of IoT devices and technology. One such development of IoT is the concept of Smart Home Systems (SHS) and appliances that consist of internet-based devices, automation systems for homes, and reliable energy management systems. Besides, another important achievement of IoT is the Smart Health Sensing system (SHSS). SHSS incorporates small intelligent equipment and devices to support the health of the human being. These devices can be used both indoors and outdoors to check and monitor the different health issues and fitness levels or the number of calories burned in the fitness center etc. Also, it is being used to monitor critical health conditions in hospitals and trauma centers as well. Hence, it has changed the entire scenario of the medical domain by facilitating it with high technology and smart devices. Moreover, IoT developers and researchers have actively involved to uplift the lifestyle of the disabled and senior age group people. IoT has shown a drastic performance in this area and has provided a new direction for the normal life of such people. As these devices and equipment are very cost-effective in terms of development cost and easily available within a normal price range, hence most of the people are availing them. Thanks to IoT, as they can live a normal life. Another important aspect of our life is transportation. IoT has brought up some new advancements to make it more efficient, comfortable, and reliable. Intelligent sensors, drone devices are now controlling the traffic at different signalized intersections across major cities. In addition, vehicles are being launched in markets with pre-installed sensing devices that can sense the upcoming heavy traffic congestions on the map and may suggest you another route with low traffic congestion. Therefore, IoT has a lot to serve in various aspects of life and technology. We may conclude that IoT has a lot of scopes both in terms of technology enhancement and facilitate humankind.

IoT has also shown its importance and potential in the economic and industrial growth of a developing region. Also, in the trade and stock exchange market, it is being considered a revolutionary step. However, the security of data and information is an important concern and highly desirable, which is a major challenging issue to deal with. Internet is the largest source of security threats and cyber-attacks have opened various doors for hackers and thus made the data and information insecure. However, IoT is committed to providing the best possible solutions to deal with security issues of data and information. Hence, the most important concern of IoT in trade and the economy is security. Therefore, the development of a secure path for collaboration between social networks and privacy concerns is a hot topic in IoT, and IoT developers are working hard for this.

An IoT system comprises a huge number of devices and sensors that communicate with each other. With the extensive growth and expansion of IoT network, the number of these sensors and devices are increasing rapidly. These devices communicate with each other and transfer a massive amount of data over the internet. This data is very huge and streaming every second and thus qualified to be called big data. Continuous expansion of IoT-based networks gives rise to complex issues such as management and collection of data, storage and processing, and analytics. IoT big data framework for smart buildings is very useful to deal with several issues of smart buildings such as managing oxygen level, to measure the smoke/hazardous gases and luminosity. Such a framework is capable to collect the data from the sensors installed in the buildings and performs data analytics for decision making. Moreover, industrial production can be improved using an IoT-based cyber-physical system that is equipped with information analysis and knowledge acquisition techniques. Traffic congestion is an important issue with smart cities. The real-time traffic information can be collected through IoT devices and sensors installed in traffic signals and this information can be analyzed in an IoT-based traffic management system. In healthcare analysis, the IoT sensors used with patients generate a lot of information about the health condition of patients every second. This large amount of information needs to be integrated into one database and must be processed in real-time to make quick decisions with high accuracy and big data technology is the best solution for this job.

IoT along with big data analytics can also help to transform the traditional approaches used in manufacturing industries into modern ones. The sensing devices generate information that can be analyzed using big data approaches and may help in various decision-making tasks. Furthermore, the use of cloud computing and analytics can benefit energy development and conservation with reduced cost and customer satisfaction. IoT devices generate a huge amount of streaming data that needs to be stored effectively and needs further analysis for decision-making in real-time. Deep learning is very effective to deal with such large information and can provide results with high accuracy. Therefore, IoT, Big data analytics, and Deep learning together are very important to develop a high-tech society.

Are you listening What Other Not!

Imagine a world where you walk around in front of a personal computer in your own sound space. You listen to your favorite songs, play loud computer games, or watch a movie — all without other people hearing the sound.

That is the possibility presented by “sound beaming,” a new technology from Noveto Systems, an Israeli company. The company debuted a desktop device that sends sound directly to a listener without the need for headphones or a special receiver.

Noveto Systems gave The Associated Press (AP) a chance to test its SoundBeamer 1.0 before its debut. The AP’s Louise Dixon writes that listening to the device is like something from a science fiction movie. The sound seems so close it feels like it is inside your ears while also in front, above, and behind them.

Noveto expects the device will have many uses. Office workers could listen to music or conference calls without others hearing. People could play a game, a movie or music without waking up others in the same room.

Because the device does not use headphones, it is possible to hear other sounds in the room clearly. The device uses 3-D technology that finds and follows the ear position of the listener. It sends ultrasonic waves to create sound pockets by the user’s ears. Sound can be heard in stereo or 3-D. The 3-D method creates sound on all sides of the listener, the company said.

The demo version of the device included nature videos of birds on a lake, bees flying and a quiet waterway. SoundBeamer Product Manager Ayana Wallwater enjoys watching the reactions of people trying the technology for the first time. it sounds like a speaker, but no one else can hear it…it’s supporting you and you’re in the middle of everything. It’s happening around you.”

By changing a setting, the sound can follow a listener around when they move their head. It also is possible to move out of the sound beam’s path and hear nothing at all. “You don’t need to tell the device where you are. It’s not streaming to one exact place,” Wallwater said. While the idea of sound beaming is not new, Noveto was the first to launch the technology. Its chief executive officer Christophe Ramstein said a “smaller” version of the device will be ready for release to consumers next year.

Current Education System Neglects innate Skills?

Every person has the potential to be a winner; to be an authentic, alive, responsive, fulfilled human being. Right education with the right educationalist can increase the awareness of the real power one has to direct their own life, to make decisions, to develop own ethical system, and to enhance the lives of others. Education is analyzed as being an important role in society, where the structure of teaching, learning, and environment is frequently debated factor responsible for the development of people. Therefore, the education system and the structure of teaching shall be considered seriously. Regardless of children's background, parent’s income, or any other factors, it is right to say that a good education for all children is important. Educated people make an educated nation, as well as education, allow us to open our minds to improve ourselves, our environment, our world, and to make educated choices about our future. Through education, the students have more opportunities to improve their skills and to gain more knowledge in their professional field. In respect of country social and economic development; a good education system is needed.

 Education System

To have a good education system the schools, institutes, and universities need to obtain a good structure of learning and teaching for children/students. The main role of the structure of teaching and learning became complex, where the great majority of society think that the school's key responsibility is for teaching and learning of students. Nevertheless, parents and society, must work, having a result to make them prepared for the society. The structure of the environment at schools given to the students should occur healthy, not just physically, but also mentally and socially. Comfort is required, and the classes must be well ventilated, large enough to accommodate the students. Even though some schools obtain smaller classes, it is essential to obtain a small group of students so that teachers will have more flexibility in teaching and give individual attention to them. 

Unfortunately for millions of students the education system of India pathetically lacks processes to identify their innate skills. Since every child is born with a unique skill. That’s why some become excellent singers, others are amazing sportspersons while, yet others are writers or scientists. These successful people share one thing in common, they simply followed their innate skills. While they did attend school and college, such students gave wings to what they like best and by following their passion, they are successful. The education system of India not only lacks a structure or procedures to identify the innate skills of a child, but it is also well geared to obscure and kill these talents. The system forces students to study subjects they aren’t even slightly interested in and score high marks too. Hampering a student to study what they don’t want to be identical to child abuse.

The Problem

The real problem with the Indian education system is that we have no real rescuer left in our schools/universities/institutes who can rescue students from the scripts they have as baggage. Its full effects may not be evident at an early stage, but there will be some advance indications, allowing trained people to identify the presence of talent before exceptional levels of mature performance have been demonstrated. Our quality education has sadly focused on test-based accountability and proficiency of basic skills. This reinforces a system that continues to be based on parrot-fashion. Not only does this hamper a child’s ability to connect with real-world problems on a deeper level, in the long term it also renders an entire generation unemployable. India is also then saddled with a large population of young people who’re unable to think creatively and critically, understand and accept diversity, be open to new ideas and perspectives and communicate and collaborate effectively. Students need to be empowered by catering to their multiple intelligences, by designing an educational system based on understanding and application and not recall. High levels of teacher and school leader vacancies are a worrying concern across many states in India. It is indicative of the lack of desirability of the profession. Teachers are treated as lowly civil servants and are used as resources to collect administrative data from local communities. Many countries select school leaders through a dedicated mechanism, Indian schools mostly promote the most experienced teachers to become principals. We cannot assume that experienced teachers automatically become good school leaders. For both these professions, there are almost no professional development opportunities or mentorship. Peer learning is almost absent with most schools working in silos. Training programs are few and far in between and almost always ineffective. Teachers and school leaders are the closest stakeholders in a school to the ultimate beneficiary, the students. Student achievement levels can improve only by empowering these two stakeholders. Let’s start with efforts to make these jobs more attractive and desirable to generate a larger talent pool. We need to further decentralize education and provide most of the decision-making power to the authorities that are closest to the field. There needs to be a system of acknowledgment and reward, of greater opportunity and decision-making authority to those doing a good job in their classrooms and schools.

Role of Parents

Lack of knowledge with most parents in developing countries overestimating the academic levels of their children, without targeted support at home these first-generation learners face a high probability of falling behind in school and eventually dropping out. This prevents them from breaking out of the vicious cycle of inter-generational poverty. Education policy hasn’t closely analyzed the role that parents can play as strategic partners. Governments and non-profits need to focus on designing programs building the knowledge of parents and equipping them with skills to support their children at home. Having hardly interacted with the schooling system, they need to be trained how to partner with the schools. Most importantly, parents need to believe in their own power — that regardless of their income and education, they can play a meaningful part in their child’s education.

 Need for the globalization of Indian education

International educational institutes have realized potential and are looking to set up their campuses or partner with Indian institutes to cater to this mushrooming Indian student population. Nearly, 14 percent of the students in US universities are from India. Imagine the impact of those very same universities were to come into our own country to provide us with the same education. We would save a lot on student debts and further be able to build a cohesive education system right here in our backyard. Take the case of Suresh from an upper-middle-class family. He got the best education available in the city that he lived in. Suresh has now completed his engineering graduation. His father now aspires to give him an Ivy League education towards a fruitful career and can also afford to pay for the course fee. But he now finds himself in a dilemma as the overall costs are unaffordable when it comes to sending his son abroad, taking care of his expenses, and other related costs. Add to this having to stay away from their child during his education is another scary dimension. There are millions of Indian Millennial s like Suresh who harbor dreams of studying in universities like Harvard and Stanford. However, despite having the true potential to succeed in these challenging assignments, it continues to be a dream simply because of the economic and cultural hurdles limiting them. Millennial s strongly believes that the Indian education system, the government, and other stakeholders in the market should recognize this condition and take the necessary steps to make quality education accessible, relevant and economical. 

Suggestion - Breaking the Scripts

Each person has a psychological script and exists in a culture that has scripts. The psychological script contains the ongoing program for the individual’s life drama. It is rooted in the messages a child receives from parents, which can be constructive, destructive, or nonproductive, and in the psychological positions, the child eventually takes toward self and others. Positions can be related to people in general or directed toward those of sex. To the extent that the script messages are not in tune with the child’s actual potentials and negate his or her will to survive, they create pathology. Pathology has different degrees of seriousness. It can range from being very mild; rarely interfering with the person’s ability to function, to being so gross that people become absurd caricatures of their possible selves. Although all scripts are like spells, some scripts serve the function of giving the person realistic ideas about uses for her or his talents in society. Others misdirect the person to follow a star that was unrealistically or perhaps resentfully selected. Still, other scripts program the child for destruction, a tragic ending. Most people at one time or another play roles and mask them in some way. If they become aware of themselves when they are putting on a performance, their awareness gives them some freedom to reject fake roles. Playacting can be given up in favor of authenticity. Aware people can determine the course of their own life plans and rewrite their dramas in accordance with their own uniqueness. Such people can come in touch with their possible selves and redirect their compulsion to live life within one specific framework. For many, this is not easy. In fact, it is often painful and involves much hard work. Sometimes a real rescuer is needed, as is depicted in the following paraphrase of James Aggrey’s “The Parable of the Eagle”  

Once upon a time, while walking through the forest, a certain man found a young eagle. He took it home and put it in his barnyard where it soon learned to eat chicken feed and to behave as chickens behave. One day, a naturalist who was passing by inquired of the owner why it was that an eagle, the king of all birds, should be confined to live in the barnyard with the chickens. “Since I have given it chicken feed and trained it to be a chicken, it has never learned to fly,” replied the owner, “It behaves as chickens behave, so it is no longer an eagle.” “Still,” insisted the naturalist, “it has the heart of an eagle and can surely be taught to fly.” After talking it over, the two men agreed to find out whether this was possible. Gently the naturalist took the eagle in his arms and said. “You belong to the sky and not to the earth. Stretch forth your wings and fly.” The eagle, however, was confused; it did not know who he was, and, seeing the chickens eating their food, he jumped down to be with them again. Undismayed, the naturalist took the eagle on the following day, upon the roof of the house, and urged him again, saying, “You are an eagle, Stretch forth your wings and fly. “But the eagle was afraid of his unknown self and world and jumped down once more for the chicken food. On the third day, the naturalist rose early and took the eagle out of the barnyard to a high mountain. There, he held the king of birds high above him and encouraged him again, saying, “You are an eagle. You belong to the sky as well as to the earth. Stretch forth your wings now, and fly.” The eagle looked around, back towards the barnyard and up to the sky. Still, he did not fly. Then the naturalist lifted him straight towards the sun and it happened that the eagle began to tremble, slowly he stretched his wings. At last, with a triumphant cry, he soared away into the heavens. It may be that the eagle still remembers the chickens with nostalgia; it may even be that he occasionally revisits the barnyard. But as far as anyone knows, he has never returned to lead the life of a chicken. He was an eagle though he had been kept and tamed as a chicken. 

Just like the eagle, people who have learned to think of themselves as something they aren’t can re-decide in favor of their real potential. They can become winners. But most of the time we need a mentor who can show us our true selves.

Conclusion

The conversation in education has slowly started moving away from the importance of infrastructure and inputs. We are now talking about improving quality in terms of outcomes. But these outcomes cannot be achieved by designing policies that are process-centric. We need people-centric policies to catalyze a learning revolution in the country. We still have a long way to go.

Python - The Simplest Programming Language

 

Python is an interpreted, object-oriented, high-level programming language with dynamic semantics. It's high-level built-in data structures, combined with dynamic typing and dynamic binding, make it very attractive for Rapid Application Development, as well as for use as a scripting or glue language to connect existing components together. Since there is no compilation step, the edit-test-debug cycle is incredibly fast. When the interpreter discovers an error, it raises an exception. When the program doesn't catch the exception, the interpreter prints a stack trace. The debugger is written in Python itself, testifying to Python's introspective power. On the other hand, often the quickest way to debug a program is to add a few print statements to the source: the fast edit-test-debug cycle makes this simple approach very effective.

Why is Python used?

Python is one of the simplest programming languages and we mean that in a good way. it’s especially great for using on back end web development projects, shortening the amount of time you spend on projects by allowing you to repurpose chunks of code. Python is also used for scientific research and computing and even has several science-friendly or science-specific libraries including:

• Astropy for astronomy
• Biopython for biology and bioinformatics
• Graph-tool for statistical analysis of graphs
• Psychology for neuroscience and experimental psychology

Using Python for machine learning is cool, so it felt like it warranted an additional line item. Machine learning includes things like speech recognition, financial services, even the recommendations Netflix serves up every time you log in. Python is used for machine learning via specific machine-learning libraries and frameworks including scikit-learn. This seems like an odd item to include on the list, but it’s true: Startups, and especially tech startups, love Python because it’s easy to use and scalable.

Advantages of Python

1. Readable and Maintainable Code:

 

While writing a software application, you must focus on the quality of its source code to simplify maintenance and updates. The syntax rules of Python allow you to express concepts without writing additional code. At the same time, Python, unlike other programming languages, emphasizes on code readability, and allows you to use English keywords instead of punctuations.

 

2. Multiple Programming Paradigms:

 

Like other modern programming languages, Python also supports several programming paradigms. It supports object-oriented and structured programming fully. Also, its language features to support various concepts in functional and aspect-oriented programming. At the same time, Python also features a dynamic type system and automatic memory management.

 

3. Compatible with Major Platforms and Systems:

 

At present, Python is supporting many operating systems. You can even use Python interpreters to run the code on specific platforms and tools. Also, Python is an interpreted programming language. It allows you to run the same code on multiple platforms without recompilation. Hence, you are not required to recompile the code after making any alteration.

 

4 Robust Standard Library:

 

Its large and robust standard library makes Python score over other programming languages. The standard library allows you to choose from a wide range of modules according to your precise needs. Each module further enables you to add functionality to the Python application without writing additional code.

 

5. Many Open Source Frameworks and Tools:

 

As an open-source programming language, Python helps you to curtail software development cost significantly. You can even use several open-source Python frameworks, libraries, and development tools to curtail development time without increasing development costs. You even have the option to choose from a wide range of open-source Python frameworks and development tools according to your precise needs.

 

6. Simplify Complex Software Development:

 

Python is a general-purpose programming language. Hence, you can use the programming language for developing both desktop and web applications. Also, you can use Python for developing complex scientific and numeric applications. Python is designed with features to facilitate data analysis and visualization. You can take advantage of the data analysis features of Python to create custom big data solutions without putting in extra time and effort. At the same time, the data visualization libraries and APIs provided by Python help you to visualize and present data in a more appealing and effective way.

 

7. Adopt Test Driven Development:

 

You can use Python to create a prototype of the software application rapidly. Also, you can build the software application directly from the prototype simply by refactoring the Python code. Python even makes it easier for you to perform coding and testing simultaneously by adopting test-driven development (TDD) approach. You can easily write the required tests before writing code and use the tests to assess the application code continuously. The tests can also be used for checking if the application meets predefined requirements based on its source code.

3D Print - Future of New Technology Way Forward

 

Think of a light bulb, steam engine or, more latterly, cars and airplanes, not to mention the rise and rise of the world wide web. These technologies have made our lives improved in many ways, opened new paths and potentials, but typically it takes time, sometimes even years, before the truly disruptive nature of the technology becomes seeming. It is widely believed that 3D printing or additive manufacturing (AM) has the vast potential to become one of these technologies. 3D printing has now been covered across many television channels, mainstream newspapers, and online resources. What really is this 3D printing that some have claimed will put an end to outdated manufacturing as we know it, revolutionize design and impose geopolitical, economic, social, demographic, environmental, and security insinuations to our everyday lives?

The most basic, differentiating principle behind 3D printing is that it is an additive manufacturing process. And this is indeed the key because 3D printing is a drastically different manufacturing method based on advanced technology that builds up parts, additively, in layers at the sub-mm scale. This is basically different from any other existing traditional manufacturing techniques. 3D printing is an enabling technology that encourages and drives innovation with unparalleled design freedom while being a tool-less process that diminishes prohibitive costs and lead times. Components can be designed specifically to evade assembly requirements with complex geometry and complex features created at no extra cost. 3D printing is also evolving as an energy-efficient technology that can offer environmental efficiencies in terms of both the manufacturing process itself, utilizing up to 90% of the standard materials, and throughout the products operating life, through lighter and stronger design.

Adoption of 3D printing has touched critical mass as those who have yet to assimilate additive manufacturing somewhere in their supply chain are now part of an ever-shrinking minority. Where 3D printing was only appropriate for prototyping and one-off manufacturing in the early stages, it is now quickly transforming into a production technology.

 

3D printing includes many forms of technologies and materials as 3D printing is being used in almost all industries you could think of. It’s important to see it as a bunch of diverse industries with a myriad of different applications. A few examples:

Consumer products (eyewear, footwear, design, furniture)

• Industrial products (manufacturing tools, prototypes, functional end-use parts)
• Dental product
• Prosthetics
• Architectural scale models & maquettes
• Reconstructing fossils
• Replicating ancient artifacts
• Reconstructing evidence in forensic pathology
• Movie props

Big Data is the Next BIG Thing...

Systems that process and stock big data have become a common constituent of data management architectures in organizations. Big data is often considered by the 3Vs: the large volume of data in many environments, the wide variety of data types stored in big data systems and the velocity at which the data is generated, collected, and processed. These characteristics were first identified by Doug Laney, then an analyst at Meta Group Inc., in 2001; Gartner further popularized them after it acquired Meta Group in 2005. Several other Vs have been added to different descriptions of big data, including veracity, value and variability. While big data doesn't connect to any specific volume of data, big data deployments often involve terabytes, petabytes and even exabytes of data captured over time.

Importance of Big Data: Companies use the big data collected in their systems to improve operations, provide better customer service, create personalized marketing campaigns based on specific customer likings and, ultimately, increase viability. Businesses that utilize big data hold a possible competitive advantage over those that don't since they're able to make faster and more informed business decisions, provided they use the data effectively. For example, big data can deliver companies with valued insights into their customers that can be used to improve marketing campaigns and techniques in order to increase customer engagement and adaptation rates. Furthermore, utilizing big data allows companies to become progressively customer centric. Historical and real-time data can be used to assess the evolving preferences of consumers, consequently enabling businesses to update and improve their marketing strategies and become more responsive to customer desires and needs.

Big data is also used by medical researchers to identify disease risk factors and by doctors to help diagnose illnesses and conditions in individual patients. In addition, data resulting from electronic health records (EHRs), social media, the web and other sources provides healthcare organizations and government agencies with up-to-the-minute information on infectious disease threats or outbreaks. In the energy industry, big data helps oil and gas companies recognize potential drilling locations and monitor pipeline operations; likewise, utilities use it to track electrical grids. Financial services firms use big data systems for risk management and real-time analysis of market data. Manufacturers and transportation companies rely on big data to manage their supply chains and optimize delivery routes. Other government uses include emergency response, crime prevention and smart city initiatives.

Examples of Big Data: Big data comes from innumerable different sources, such as business operation systems, customer databases, medical records, internet clickstream logs, mobile applications, social networks, scientific research repositories, machine-generated data and real-time data sensors used in internet of things environments. The data may be left in its raw form in big data systems or preprocessed using data mining tools or data preparation software so it's ready for analytics uses. Using customer data as an example, the different branches of analytics that can be done with the information found in sets of big data include the following:

Comparative analysis: This includes the examination of user behavior metrics and the observation of real-time customer engagement in order to compare one company's products, services and brand authority with those of its competition.

Social media listening: This is information about what people are saying on social media about a specific business or product that goes beyond what can be delivered in a poll or survey. This data can be used to help identify target audiences for marketing campaigns by observing the activity surrounding specific topics across various sources.

Marketing analysis: This includes information that can be used to make the promotion of new products, services and initiatives more informed and innovative.

Customer satisfaction and sentiment analysis: All the data gathered can disclose how customers are feeling about a company or brand, if any possible issues may arise, how brand loyalty might be conserved and how customer service efforts might be enhanced.

Breaking down the Vs of big data: Volume is the most cited characteristic of big data. A big data environment doesn't have to comprise a large amount of data, but most do because of the nature of the data being collected and stored in them. Clickstreams, system logs and stream processing systems are among the sources that typically produce enormous volumes of big data on an ongoing basis.

Virtual Reality is not Virtual Now!

The impression of virtual workspaces is nothing new, but recent developments in hardware and bandwidth have made this possibility almost a certain certainty. According to the developing technology strategist, the future of work will center on a private, virtual workspace that immerses the user in a 3D desktop customized to provide the ideal working environment.

Several of the major HMD producers, like the Windows Mixed Reality platform and Oculus Rift are providing virtual desktop knowledge for their users. There are also numerous apps like Big screen and Virtual Desktop working to make Latta’s vision a reality, but the experience has a long way to go before becoming flawlessly integrated with our daily work lives. Drive time becomes down time.

No more daily commute, instead any type of road-based transportation will be finished within a personalized and autonomous, immersive environment permitting the passenger to work or enjoy immersive entertainment. Building upon his vision for a private, VR workspace, the future of commuting could comprise taking this workspace with you, as today’s “drive to work” becomes “drive and work.” The race toward building fully autonomous vehicles has reached a fever pitch with Google, Uber and almost every major car manufacturer working to capitalize on the new era of “mobility as a service.” There is also a host of start-ups like Seattle-based Might AI and AI Motive working to make available innovative solutions to help usher in this new era of transportation.

No more screen time, AR and merged reality will take away our necessity to look at screens – smartphones, watches, tablets, laptops, will all become a thing of the past. According to Cyril Tuschi, the CEO and founder of You-VR, super-lightweight AR glasses and XR contact lenses will soon develop our standard companion. He has confidence in that worries over the negative effects of screen time will be mitigated as our digital world will become seamlessly integrated with the real world. There will be early education programs to help children navigate this new merged reality along with an AI driven opt-in program to mindfully deliver only relevant experiences to users.

Smarter Planet – global knowledge and collaboration network Immersive technology will permit collaboration between vast distributed teams, across languages, time zones and geographies thereby linking large populations to rich digital information, in the physical world. The implications for this type of knowledge network are robust and could help solve global encounters related to geographically isolated populations and shortages of natural resources. Ultimately a global knowledge network powered by AI could “optimize” the planet to ensure resources are distributed to sustain the global population.

Hyper-real intimate practices become the norm: How we connect intimately and sexually, with others as well as ourselves, will be dramatically different in 20 years. Dr. Holly Richmond, Ph.D. and working sex therapist, believes that “most first dates and first sexual experiences will happen virtually, the term “digisexual” will be ubiquitous, and the idea of sex positivity will finally transcend the technology bias it has previously and currently been up against. Richmond is working to normalize the sex tech industry and her soon to be published book, Next-Sex, delivers research and insights into how technology is bringing us closer together. How we connect intimately and sexually, with others as well as ourselves, will be dramatically different in 20 years. Companies like Kiiroo and WeVibe are working to create extremely realistic immersive intimate experiences. Kiiroo CTO, Maurice Op de Beek, believes we’ll achieve hyper-real, sexual experiences in our lifetime. Other technology companies are developing software and hardware to help expand today’s VR experience beyond the HMD. Tobii, is working on eye-tracking capabilities which according to Richmond, will produce a much more connected and intimate experience. While HardLight VR has developed a haptic bodysuit allowing users to feel what’s happening within a virtual experience. You can read more about technology and the future of sex in my recent post, The technological evolution of love, connection and intimacy.

Teleporting becomes real: Be anywhere, anytime in seconds with numerous digital selves. Founder of VP Capital and technology investor Viktor Prokopenya believes “we will have a complete avatar, several bodies in different parts of the world and the travel time will be zero.” This bold vision draws upon numerous existing day technologies and unifies them into a plausible future. Researchers are already studying the effects of embodying a virtual avatar and social, 3D virtual worlds such as Sansar and High Fidelity allow for instant teleportation to different regions on the grid. Combine this functionality with augmented reality capabilities of overlaying digital content in the real world and it’s not too hard to imagine beaming a virtual self into a real location. Pain and Suffering is a thing of the past VR and immersive technology are composed to put an end to both physical and emotional pain. According to Chimeren Peerbhai, Global Digital Product Management Lead for GlaxoSmithKline, “VR as a distraction therapy during difficult treatments; such as those administered to cancer patients or burn victims has proven to be quite effective. The End of loneliness and isolation Westworld here we come! Along with ending physical pain, Chimeren Peerbhai also believes the future of today’s virtual assistant technology will eventually include “more progressive integration with AI and machine learning to create compellingly realistic virtual humans. Imagine having a virtual assistant that’s like a real person or having a mate to keep you company as you grow older. Or even bolder, being able to accurately recreate a loved one who’s passed on, in a virtual world. Who will be able to respond to you and behave just as they would have in real life!” This exciting and perhaps worrisome vision of the future has been played out in movies like Blade Runner 2049 where arguably one of the most lovable characters was an AI-driven, robot taking the form of a beautiful, young assistant to the hero of the film.
