ASEAN Region Eager to Capture Sizable Proportion of AI Development
With the increasing dominance of AI in every sphere, countries are making great strides in developing technology associated with Artificial Intelligence. With the United States currently having the firmest hold over the technology—in terms of development, investments, and innovation—other regions are rooting to be more competent for AI deployment in their region. One such sphere is the South East Asian region (ASEAN countries). The region is tapping every available opportunity to install AI in its governing business sectors.

IoT: How Is It Revolutionizing Our Homes?
We all have a unique attachment to our homes, but the internet of things (IoT) is just about to strengthen this attachment. Tech futurists argue that in the next couple of years, most homes in the developed world will be technologically connected with the IoT devices. This should be believable particularly because of how we have seen this new technology revolutionize other industries including healthcare, transport, entertainment, and education.

How E-Commerce is Changing Warehouse Operations
As times change, so do the operations of many industries. In the same way, e-commerce is changing the way warehouses operate. With the innovation of e-commerce, the demand is suddenly much higher than it used to be. To keep up with it, and meet all customer needs, one must implement the needed changes in their business. That primarily means more machinery and more people if you want your productivity to stay at an all-time high.

Using New Technology to Prevent Tsunamis
Tsunamis always leave devastating effects on people as well as the environment. The loss it causes is immeasurable and recovery process sometimes proves to be extremely painful. Since tsunamis can be caused by different factors, discovering those factors and coming up with ways to prevent them is one of the best ways to stop tsunamis such as the one caused in Fukushima. Technology can play a very big role in this. As new innovations come up, new technology can be used to prevent tsunamis before they strike or, at the very least, reduce their impact.

East Asia: A Target Destination for Digital Solutions
There is no denying that Asia is home to most of the world’s richest tech companies, and that has made the continent a darling for tech investors and consumers. About two years ago, the continent experienced a groundbreaking trend for mergers and acquisitions that precipitated over 60 percent growth in the continent’s tech market. Billionaires from all over the world are strategically positioning themselves to benefit from this highly promising market, and that has made this market one of the fastest growing sectors across all industries of the world.

The Evolution of Artificial Intelligence in the Medical Field
Artificial intelligence, or the mimicking of human cognitive functions using computer technology, is shifting the way certain industries function and reshaping the future. In medicine, the paradigm shift is commencing with leveraging the power of AI to analyze structured and unstructured data in a way that allows medical professionals to make better decisions regarding treatment options, recently published research, and advanced diagnosis.

Digital Life in the 5G Era
OASIS (that's an acronym standing for Ontologically Anthropocentric Sensory Immersive Simulation), the virtual reality social network slash MMO in the Spielberg movie Ready Player One that linked all the residents of... well, pretty much the whole world together was a marvel of computer programming and server technology. It offered its users a completely lifelike experience, down to the touch (thanks to the use of VR visors and haptic jumpsuits), all this in the highest definition possible. Imagine the hardware needed to run a simulation of this size, with so many users logged in at the same time. And imagine the bandwidth needed for so many users to be logged on simultaneously—a wireless network (you didn't think Wade's van was connected to a fiber network, did you?) capable of transferring insane quantities of data each second, 24 hours a day. While we have nothing that's capable of such unimaginable bandwidth at this time (although German scientists have already devised a scalable network capable of transferring at least 100 Gbps that can go up to terabits) the upcoming 5G mobile standard can give us a taste of things to come. In short, 5G will change the world—or at least the digital one. Now let's take a better look at what exactly it is and how it will prove to be useful in the future.

Why Does Online Video Excite Me?
I was born in 1984 in a country occupied by Soviet Union. The only type of video that we knew back then was whatever came out of our tiny black and white television set. This little screen was our window to the rest of the world and we could only see the bits that the two channels were choosing to show us. Everything I saw on TV seemed so far and unreachable. The only world I knew was the world around me. So I could not really understand the obsession my parents had—every evening at 8:30 PM they were glued to the TV-set and they would watch the news programme. That was a big deal back then. Every family was unreachable for that half an hour—they were all staring at their TV screens. But I get it now—our nation wanted the oppression to end. That’s why politics mattered. The news was the only chance to see what was happening in the world—like I said, a small window to the world. Of course, the media was controlled and censored, obviously, but that was all we got. There was no other way.

4 Tech Innovations That Have Changed Industries
The world that we are currently living in is changing at a rapid pace, and a lot of this change is being brought about by innovations in the tech industry. Newer innovations are coming to life on a regular basis, and the things that were once seen as hard to perform are now being done with a few clicks and a few buttons. With the abundance of innovations, it was only time before industries started to see a big swing of change. The manner in which many industries function has been significantly altered as a result of changing tech trends and this change isn’t stopping any time soon.

What Is "Fake News" in the Age of AI?
With all the talk about "fake news" these days, and all the concern over where and how people around the world are getting their news and information, one would think: Surely, this won't get any worse.

Will Court Reporting Be Replaced by Technology?
With the rise of robotics, artificial intelligence, and faster and smarter computers, it’s understandable to be worried about your job security. Particularly for jobs that require the ability to listen and understand human speech, such as transcribers and court reporters, it can be extra concerning to see brand new technologies roll out from major companies like Apple, Google, and Amazon that possess the ability to listen to and understand voice commands. That said, it’s hard to imagine that court reporters will be replaced by technology any time soon. That’s because the legal knowledge, discernment skills, and affordability of court reporters offer them great staying power.
