Wild innovations coming in 2023 despite downturn in economy
CyberGuy shows you how to screencast on your Android phone so you can display the content from your phone to your TV screen. The future is right around the corner. Some wild new innovations like flying cars, kinder tech, and even more robots are being unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Last year's hyped focus on VR, AR and the Metaverse feels like it's falling flat this year for more gear worth living within the real world. Dodge is unveiling the Ram 1500 Revolution, a battery-electric vehicle concept.

What is the 5G Scenarios in Digital Transformation
It was projected that by 2025 there would be 1.2 billion 5G connections, covering 34% population. Although the pandemic attempted to quell the hype surrounding 5G, it is still the most talked-about tech phenomenon of 2020. My Take -- 5G will open new doors for enterprises to service and innovate products and services, creating new revenue streams and customer segments. This article will discuss how 5G will transform certain industries and their business cases. According to a New England Journal of Medicine article, healthcare holds 30% of all world's data.

Significance of Artificial Intelligence for the disabled
For a long time, technology has been creating opportunities for people with impairments, from automated scooters to cochlear implants. AI will begin to boost such efforts in the upcoming years with new powers and wider access. There is a huge and vast market to tap into -- with over a billion people living with impairments throughout the world. A designer's urge to support his blind friend write more comprehensibly inspired one of the first typewriters. Alexander Graham Bell's had a deaf parent, and it was through his work with the deaf community that the telephone was born.

Consumers want AI-enabled smart homes but not smart workplaces, O'Reilly reveals
Consumers are the most positive and excited for AI technologies that benefit their lives outside of work, research from O'Reilly shows. The survey, which delves into the opinions of consumers and compares them to that of AI-creators – those working to develop AI driven solutions including CTOs, data scientists, software engineers, solutions architects and IT Directors – reveals a wider indifference to the potential of AI in a work setting. The results suggest that while AI may be inserting itself into our lives in more ways than we recognise, to encourage adoption, developers should focus their efforts on leveraging AI to make consumers lives easier, augmenting existing experiences to make them more seamless. Adoption and acceptance outside the office, will ultimately lead to the same in a work setting, alleviating fears of job loss and instead focusing on job enhancement. Rachel Roumeliotis, Vice President of Data and AI at O'Reilly said: "Consumer conceptions of AI are still very much influenced by popular culture, science fiction and the virtual assistants they use every day. However, there are strong areas of overlap between AI developers and AI users. Both groups appreciate the success of smart home technology and are watching the development of autonomous vehicles very closely. It's up to these sectors to capitalise on the hype, but the results are also a call for the creators of work-focused AI to make solutions that capture the imagination and generate excitement."
The Evolution of Connected Home Technologies
The idea of "home" has greatly evolved throughout the millennia. Over the decades, technology has transformed homes into hubs of functionality -- centers of entertainment, work, fitness, security, climate control, and more. Home-based technologies are undergoing a rapid evolution thanks to new Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and next-generation IoT solutions currently in development will further transform our homes. While some may view the connected home as a futuristic concept, it is already a reality, as the hurdles to achieving connectivity have largely been met. While adoption of connected home technologies continues to expand, the next phase of innovation will guide the transition to homes that are more proactive and automated than we can currently imagine.

CES 2016: How smart can your home get?
On Sunday, Mark Zuckerberg set his goal for 2016 via a Facebook post: build an artificial intelligence to run his home and assist his work, "like Jarvis in Iron Man." The lofty ambition fits a growing trend of "smart" home technology, which links smartphones, tablets, and other computers with household appliances and other home items. High-powered commercial drones, self-driving cars, and virtual reality dominated the presentations at the annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, with Microsoft announcing its intention to become the "ultimate platform for all intelligent cars" and Intel showing how its new drone can dodge falling trees. But Samsung aimed closer to home. During its CES press conference, the South Korean company focused on new its new "SmartThings" appliances, which range from televisions to washing machines.

Take a peek inside your future home - CNN.com
I remember watching TV shows such as "The Jetsons" when I was a child and fantasizing about the possibilities of living with a robot, riding in a flying car, or having food instantly show up warm and ready whenever I wanted it. Fast forward a couple decades later, and it turns out that we are now on the brink of a Jetsons-like reality. Robotics companies are popping up all around the world, enabling humans to program objects with artificial intelligence to do mundane tasks for them, ranging from mopping the floors to answering doors. Startups like Terrafugia are creating flying cars that can convert from driving mode to flying mode in under a minute. And food creation is evolving to the point where our refrigerators know exactly what is inside of them and can even conjure up recipes using the ingredients you have on hand.
