Intelligent Apps: The Next Generation

The up and coming age of versatile applications will be the consequence of numerous universes impacting: when application advancement meets computerized reasoning, the Internet of Things and huge information investigation, insightful applications are the result. Put essentially, these are applications that ceaselessly gain from client connections and other information sources to wind up considerably increasingly significant and helpful. The underlying components that make up AI today—machine learning, natural language processing (NLP) and deep learning—have existed in an evolving form for many years.

Functional uses of Intelligent Applications:

1.      To add value in our daily lives intelligent apps will be automating our daily routine work.

2.      Provide relevant data to the application user (person or team) that needs it, at the appropriate time and with the proper context.

Both of these methodologies exploit the quickly developing mass of organized and unstructured information that can be gotten to and utilized by organizations to settle on better business choices. These utilization cases open up chances to enhance profitability and choice exactness, and additionally worker and client encounter.

The first function, robotizing basic, routine assignments, is clear and alleviates clients from undertakings that divert and expend time, enabling them to concentrate on higher-esteem errands. A precedent would incorporate remote helpers that oversee plans, giving the capacity to facilitate gatherings without client mediation. An AI operator could likewise perform assignments that require coordination of accessible information into a yield, similar to an undertaking plan, a resupply arrange or even a bill of materials.

The second use case, giving choice help to clients that need to assess vast informational collections, has numerous applications over a business task. Maybe the least difficult precedent is in medicinal conclusion. An astute application doesn't make the finding, yet it can deal with enormous informational indexes to search for examples, potential ailments and medicines. It can oversee electronic wellbeing records, test information, patient and family ancestry, and hereditary data: requesting and contextualizing significant information to make the doctor's activity increasingly sensible.

Intelligent Application Uses in Real World:

For sales work force, smart applications could assess leads and openings, organize them, and even apply conduct models that would foresee which openings were well on the way to close and give the biggest return. An application could likewise anticipate what a client may require straightaway or be increasingly disposed to buy. Client benefit clever applications could offer administration workers potential arrangements dependent on information of recorded information.

PlayStation 5

Since release of Ps4 on Nov 15, 2013 it has been a huge hit in the gaming world and has been famous for giving the best experience to users using Unreal Engine 4 technology. Though now it is end of an era for PlayStation 4 and gamers are turning and waiting for the long waited Ps5. Currently Sony is creating a hype and keeping release date a secret but we know that a PlayStation 5 release date will definitely be a one day exist, thanks to Sony Interactive Entertainment's President and CEO Shawn Layden confirming as much in an interview with Golem.de. On an interview with Financial Times the Sony president Kenichiro Yoshida confirmed that Sony is working on next generation console which will enhance user experience.

Early in May 2018, Sony interactive CEO John Kodera revealed that Ps5 won’t be releasing anytime soon then 2021. Even though no one knows exactly what is Sony working on and how are they going to present themselves and how are they going to stand out in this competitive market, so far the good news is that Sony is working on its new console. There is no confirmed date given by Sony on release of Ps5 but there is a word in the gaming communities and they are counting 2020. With arrival of 4K televisions and Ps4 pro it is expected that Ps5 would be a massive upgrade of Ps4 pro. Since there is no confirm dates for anything, So mark your calendars for 2019, 2020 and 2021.

Ps5 The VR effect:

In the world of gaming console manufacturing Sony is the first one to jump into this untapped market, thanks to PlayStation VR. If you experience PlayStation VR technology on Ps4 Pro, it shows the beauty and enhanced experience of how much better it can look on PlayStation 5. Currently VR wherever being used is working on low graphics and not so on the top of the quality animations, Ps4 Pro pushes the base limits which makes gamers wait a little more for Ps5.

Ps5 Competition:

In spite of the fact that we're repulsively anxious for news of a PlayStation 5 discharge date, we can't blame Sony for taking an additional couple of years to truly drain the remainder of the PS4, given it's immense and steadfast player base. All things considered, the PS4 Pro is still moderately new to the market and its immediate rival, the Microsoft's Xbox One X, is a considerably later discharge. If we're honest, we can't really see any urgent need to start a new generation right now. And given Microsoft's growing commitment to backwards compatibility, we think it's key for Sony to really think carefully about its next steps.

What’s new with Samsung Note 9?

Galaxy Note 9 has been one of the hit for Samsung in the technological world in 2018. Note 9 has a reputation as bleeding edge phone in the note series. It is the first with multi window software for running two different applications at the same time and consists of curved edge screen. The new Galaxy Note 9 starts from 999$ and it includes an S pen that improves the remote control in this device.

What’s new with Samsung Note 9?

S Pen: Now the stylus pen comes with a Bluetooth control, so it can be used for presentations, music control and taking pictures.

Huge Battery: Samsung Note 9 has a huge battery of 4000mAh which is the biggest in Samsung handset history. This is a huge step up if compared with Note 8 (3300mAh) but upon performance check Note 9’s battery wasn’t able to come up to expectations and it showed only marginal improvements

AI Camera: The camera on the Note 9 can recognize 20 different scenes and can adjust in complex light situations to obtain the best results

Water Cooled: This monster uses a water carbon fiber cooling system to prevent heat to increase efficiency and to deliver sustained high performance.

Design: The most appealing feature of any phone is design and Note 9 has now been introduced in two elegant colors. It comes in Lavender Purple and Ocean Blue version, but Lavender Purple appears to capture most of the market due to its eye-catching elegance. However, ocean blue version is equipped with a yellow S pen, which writes in yellow on-screen memo mode. Shortly after release of Note 9, Cloud Silver and Midnight black colors were also introduced in the market and Samsung plans to sell them as their exclusive product with a premium price.

Though Note 9 is a beautiful phone but it takes a keen eye to differentiate between Note 8 and Note 9 as both are 6.4 inches long and 0.34 inches deep. Difference occurs in weight of both phones; the new Note 9 is slightly lighter the Note 8 but holding both the devices wouldn’t make such a difference as the weight is slightly low. The biggest change is the fingerprint sensor, which Samsung wisely moved from beside the dual-lens camera to beneath it. This makes it easier for those of us with small hands to easily unlock the phone without straining our stubby fingers.

Domestic Robots

House chores are a part of life whether one likes it or not. In this fast moving world, it becomes even harder as one’s presence in various other errands is needed just as much. Technology continues to make life easy with innovations that were not believed possible in the past. One of these innovations is of domestic robots that are designed to make life easier by performing these tasks for the owner.

From dishes to dry-cleaning, mopping to lawn mowing, these robots tend to replace human labor and thus increase the efficiency in results. This is not a new concept of computerized houses; there are technologies like driers, remote controls, dishwashers, that have taken place of manual house handling.

The automated carpet cleaners called Roomba may not be a fully functioning vacuum cleaners, but they sure are much advanced than the former machine. With the facilitation of internet connectivity, these robots can have scheduled cleaning routines, which can be assigned from smartphone apps. You don’t have to carry them around to their place either, these machines return to their stations when the battery runs out. Similar is the case with rob mowers. Even though they are not as powerful as the manual lawn mowers, they too can have scheduled tasks and can perform without supervision.

The task of dry cleaning also tends to be reduced to a zero with the Swash that has the “precision for misting” and “rapid thermal drying” and can takes as less as 10 minutes. The machine works on different kind of fabrics and is capable of delicately handling material like cashmere. With this technology, you don’t have to worry about odor or wrinkles on your clothes. This slim designed robot can fit beside your closet or even inside it. This, however, does not mean you can completely avoid a trip to the pros since this machine is not meant to entirely replace professional dry cleaner. It merely extends the life of your outfits.

It looks like household chores get easier day by day and the humans have all the time to carry out other activities without worrying about running late for work or any other event.

Fold On- Samsung will be right back

We all know how smartphones have been competing to mark their worth in the market arena. There have been so many innovations to attract customer attention and loyalty. With its creative edge screen technology, Samsung has won the hearts of many and succeeded in marking its position among the most well reputed brands for smartphones. However, the company continues to expand their creativity in their attempts to execute ideas that were merely a concept. Samsung will now show us how a foldable smartphone looks like.

There have been speculations for the phone to be called Galaxy X or F, but there still has been no confirmation on behalf of Samsung for the name of the device. Although, they are expected to launch the details in the annual Samsung Developer Conference. There are still some rumors as to what the specifications of the phone might be and we can expect it to have a 7nm processor in the new foldable phone along with specially designed gaming specification.

The new display is known to be the ‘Infinity Flex Display” which as the name suggests can be folded and unfolded for infinite times without compromising on the display quality or causing any wear and tear. The screen is reported to be 7.3 inches in folded position. Not much has been revealed about the design so far, but we do know that Samsung plans to launch it in market in the coming months.

Magic Leap One another step to Augmented Reality

Ever since is videography introduced people are trying to find ways to feel those images and experience it like it’s in front of them. Magic Leap is an organization in America and they introduced a technology through which you can experience augmented reality. It is not smart glass but a next step from virtual reality.

Magic Leap One is designed and build on the technology called “Digital Lightfield” and company is secretive about their secret ingredient but still sharing information about their product and its services. For example, if you make a walk or roll of any animal or object on table (table is actual but the object moving will be augmented) it will fall at the edge of the table to keep the feeling real as much possible.

The design of the glasses is not like the smart glass you cannot use them outside like normal pair of glasses also they are not fashion statement as well. There is other limitation of using it outside as it projects light on glass of screen, on sunny day it has to fight the light of sun which makes nearly impossible for the image to be visible enough to be seen.

It introduced on August 8 in Chicago in starting price of $ 2,295, it will be available in different areas in soon. In its current price countries like Pakistan, India, China and other Asian countries market size will be very low and target audience will be niche.

What is Blockchain and is it really beneficial ?

Blockchain is one the most popular technological system now a day, people are attracted to it and organizations and people are willing to understand and use it for their own benefits. But before looking in to the matter either Blockchain is beneficial for our society or not we have to understand the concepts of blockchain.

In 2009 the first ever application of blockchain was “Bitcoin”, it is a digital currency supported by blockchain through its cryptographic system. Blockchain is a peer to peer system of transaction you don’t need any centralized server to store data everything is decentralized, and every account holder maintain his/her own ledger of transaction, well which makes it impossible for the hackers to hack, steal data/information or even steal information.

It is on a small scale but for bigger organization it plays a vital role in keeping their accounts protected and secure from any outside interference. The reasons it is safe and beneficial are:

Before the introduction of “Blockchain” security and validation of your ownership of digital accounts can’t be trusted and stealing of information and data is common even you use different software for safety from others to get access but still that company who is providing you security has the access to your information. Blockchain removes this and create a peer to peer system of transaction and due to cryptographic blocks in chains reduces the chances of any interference.

Also an important benefit of using blockchain system for transaction is if your transaction took place no one can edit that transaction and that transaction remains the part of the ledger and account for future concerns.

Hyperloop: Transport of the Future ?

We live in a time where technical advancements are progressing exponentially and concept of hyperloop is being the part of this remarkable technical world. Hyperloop is basically a fast-moving capsule covering distance of hours in matter of minutes, travelling through pressurized tubes using magnetic levitation. It does look like a science fictional, but this project is in cusp of becoming reality. For example, you live 400 miles away from your family and friends and to see them meet them you need hours to travel by road even that distance requires hours on plane but through hyperloop it will be covered in minutes, hyperloop concept will revolutionize the idea of global village by bring cities or states closer than ever before. This idea was first conceived by Elon Musk in 2012 the founder of most famous program Space X and CEO of Tesla motors. It is design in pattern to travel from one place to another through tube reducing air pressure and friction to reach maximum speed possible.

Organizations are working on this concept one of them is Virgin Group and they introduced “Virgin Hyperloop One” and United Arab Emirates is one the very few countries which is being a part of it and will launch hyperloop transportation service in their country. If this idea/concept succeed which most probably will it might be the transportation system of the future (on land).
