The Internet of Things (IoT) has evolved quite rapidly, especially if you consider how long it took for little packet-switching networks like ARPANET to morph into today's nearly ubiquitous internet. Our nascent IoT ecosystem is already populated by billions of sensors and connected devices, hundreds of millions of servers, and thousands of hybrid clouds serving billions of people... all of them perpetually producing and/or consuming data in an explosion of information. This evolution has given rise to entirely new user interfaces influenced by models geared to augment reality and create frictionless human experiences with devices and applications. We now have an expectation of interactive immediacy with technology that is rapidly becoming second nature and represents a big, generational paradigm shift. What we think of as a computer is changing, as is the way we engage our technology.

A new update for Google Glass has just rolled out, to the surprise of the entire technology community. The futuristic gadget failed to take off because people considered it to be ugly, creepy and overly expensive, and we all believed Google had killed it off for good after it halted sales back in 2015. It shut down the Google Glass website too, as well as its social media accounts. The I.F.O. is fuelled by eight electric engines, which is able to push the flying object to an estimated top speed of about 120mph. The giant human-like robot bears a striking resemblance to the military robots starring in the movie'Avatar' and is claimed as a world first by its creators from a South Korean robotic company Waseda University's saxophonist robot WAS-5, developed by professor Atsuo Takanishi and Kaptain Rock playing one string light saber guitar perform jam session A man looks at an exhibit entitled'Mimus' a giant industrial robot which has been reprogrammed to interact with humans during a photocall at the new Design Museum in South Kensington, London Electrification Guru Dr. Wolfgang Ziebart talks about the electric Jaguar I-PACE concept SUV before it was unveiled before the Los Angeles Auto Show in Los Angeles, California, U.S The Jaguar I-PACE Concept car is the start of a new era for Jaguar.

A Canadian sniper recently broke the world record for the longest-range kill in military history when he shot an ISIS militant in Iraq. The Joint Task Force 2 gun specialist took the 3,450-meter shot from a high-rise building -- so far away it took a full 10 seconds to reach its target. "The shot in question actually disrupted a Daesh [ISIS] attack on Iraqi security forces," an anonymous source told Toronto's Globe and Mail Wednesday. "Instead of dropping a bomb that could potentially kill civilians in the area, it is a very precise application of force and because it was so far away, the bad guys didn't have a clue what was happening." There are less than 300 active snipers in the United States Marine Corps, according to Business Insider, all of whom have been put through a grueling training process to get to where they are.

Google wants to make it easier for governments to access customer data stored on overseas servers. The company believes current rules on information sharing are outdated, and is set to press US lawmakers to update them. If it gets its way, governments would be able to quickly get their hands on the personal data of Google account holders around the world.

This article was written by Harry Chiang, a Financial Analyst at I Know First. "The big paradox here is that people think technology will lead to banking becoming more and more automated and less and less personalized, but what we've seen coming through here is the view that technology will actually help banking become a lot more personalized." Over the past few years, news articles have casually floated the term'Artificial Intelligence' around at an increasing rate. It's one of those buzzwords that somehow finds its way in to every tech-related conversation. Even the least tech-savvy person has a vague notion of what it is. The problem is, some of the more tech-savvy person don't have a much clearer notion of what it is either. The definition of AI ranges and has vague boundaries.

With major technology companies and startups seriously embracing Cloud strategies, now is the perfect time to attend 21st Cloud Expo, October 31 - November 2, 2017, at the Santa Clara Convention Center, CA, and June 12-14, 2018, at the Javits Center in New York City, NY, and learn what is going on, contribute to the discussions, and ensure that your enterprise is on the right path to Digital Transformation. Every Global 2000 enterprise in the world is now integrating cloud computing in some form into its IT development and operations. Midsize and small businesses are also migrating to the cloud in increasing numbers. Companies are each developing their unique mix of cloud technologies and services, forming multi-cloud and hybrid cloud architectures and deployments across all major industries. Cloud-driven thinking has become the norm in financial services, manufacturing, telco, healthcare, transportation, energy, media, entertainment, retail and other consumer industries, and the public sector.

Eric Schmidt, executive chairman of Alphabet Inc (Google's parent company), is optimistic about the future. "We're entering what I call the age of abundance," he says. "And during the age of abundance, we're going to see a new age … the age of intelligence. "By 2020, most human beings will have access to the internet. When you have everyone harnessed with this information, the world gets more inter-connected.

I once heard it said that if AT&T did not install automatic phone switching technology several decades back, the phone company would now need to employ the entire population of North America to work as operators to meet the demand of today's call traffic. While many observers fear that artificial intelligence and robots will eliminate large swaths of jobs, it's also arguable that technology is enhancing humans' lives and livelihoods, and in the process, creating even more opportunities. Chetan Dube, founder and CEO of IPsoft, falls squarely on the side of technology optimists in this regard. I had the opportunity to talk with Dube at a recent IPsoft confab which unveiled the latest version of its enterprise intelligent assistant, "Amelia." Dube, whose company, IPsoft, specializes in applying artificial intelligence to customer interactions, is himself an example of an innovator who is building on the next wave of work-saving technology.

A new Siri icon spotted in iOS 11 appears to confirm rumours about the upcoming iPhone 8's design. Apple is widely expected to drastically change the look of the iPhone this year, with the company seemingly set to take a similar approach to Samsung. The Galaxy S8 ditched the physical home button for a stunning "all-screen" design, which makes all other handsets on the market look outdated, and the next iPhone will almost certainly follow suit.

In the 1995 film "Batman Forever," the Riddler used 3-D television to secretly access viewers' most personal thoughts in his hunt for Batman's true identity. By 2011, the metrics company Nielsen had acquired Neurofocus and had created a "consumer neuroscience" division that uses integrated conscious and unconscious data to track customer decision-making habits. What was once a nefarious scheme in a Hollywood blockbuster seems poised to become a reality. BCIs use brain signals to control objects in the outside world. They're a potentially world-changing innovation – imagine being paralyzed but able to "reach" for something with a prosthetic arm just by thinking about it.
