The idea of gradually exposing more people to the benefits of riding around in self-driving taxis and other vehicles seems to be the guiding philosophy for a number of companies such as ride-hailing giant Uber, MIT startup NuTonomy, and the company Waymo spun out of Google's former self-driving car project.

Top concerns mentioned in social media included self-driving car fears of being hacked and "robot apocalypse" scenarios of technological change.

About 6,000 social posts focused on the positive side of self-driving cars as a "technological revolution that harnesses big data and machine learning."

 Another 7,000 social posts discussed self-driving cars as a possible solution to traffic jams and highway congestion even as they also featured angry venting. Read more at :

If you think that the internet is the best invention of all the time, then watch your words, there is more that will amaze you more than internet ever could be, presenting - Internet of Things.

 Internet of Things (IoT) is an arrangement of interrelated registered devices, i.e. they are more advanced machines, objects, that is equipped with interesting identifiers and have the capacity to exchange information over a system without requiring human-to-human alternately human-to-computer communication.

It is basically the network of physical devices, vehicles, buildings and other items—embedded with electronics, software, sensors, actuators, and network connectivity that enable these objects to collect and exchange data.

The IoT permits things to be sensed furthermore and remotely over existing organizational infrastructure, making chances to a greater amount to regulate the mix of the physical universe under computer-based systems, and bringing about enhanced efficiency, exactness and more investment benefit. When IoT is combined with sensors and actuators then these devices become a system to generate and analyse the life of a human and their interaction with different object that grows up the technology-human relations, which includes innovations for example, advanced mobile grids, advanced mobile homes, smart transportation smart cities. Every relic is particularly recognizable proof through its inserted registering framework anyway can inter-operate inside the existing web foundation.

Some examples of IoT based platforms are:

1. Google Home: Speaker with Google Assistant

If you loved Google Assistant in your android devices or Chromebooks, then this device is for you. It is a home Speaker system that works with the google assistant embedded in it.

2. CUJO: Smart Firewall for the Smart Home

         Is Home Security is your concern??? Then Cujo is the answer for you. It analyses the local network traffic data in real time and sends statistics on that data to cloud for further analysis. 

 Many a times we have observed companies quote data to support an argument to a statement. This however has been detrimental to the rise of data in general. How? Let us give an example. According to research it has been found that 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are created on a daily basis. Though that is a quintessential amount of data generation, but it is all the more astonishing to learn that 90% of this existing data has been already created in the last two years. The point is Big Data might be a huge hype in the industry, but the intelligent leaders should understand, that it is not the end-word. Big Data should be intelligently crafted with business strategies to provide desirable results.

With the increasing rate of mining and filtering fossil fuel, the day is near when all the fuel present in earth will be gone. Well some scientist have figured out a technology which can be the next perpetual source of energy after sun.

In a recent study, scientists have found a catalyst that splits water into oxygen and hydrogen like plants do with the help of photosynthesis. Scientists are also believe that cars in the future will run on liquid hydrogen, with a single filling lasting 2,000-3,000 kilometers with the help of this catalyst. Though this discovery is far away from actual implementation and require more research.

According to recent study, snapchat is the most popular app among teenagers in US. A survey on 6500 teens in US to see what their opinion about the most important social network, 

# 28% voted for Snapchat 

# 27 % voted for Instagram which is a very close call

Leaving the rest for twitter and facebook. The study shows that teens tend to be more interested in viewing pictures and videos rather than text-focused media seen on Twitter and Facebook . Snapchat introducing things like Snapchat Discover and debuting live coverage at the Oscars,  as well as the popular face swapping feature and constantly adding new filters for images makes it interesting while other apps failed to do that.

3D printing technology produces smooth, detailed architectural models in an array of materials, including rigid photopolymers and plastic. Students from University of Tokyo guided by architect Kengo Kuma have developed a 3D-printing pen that can be used to create complex architectural structures out of plastic sticks. The Construction team named their model as ""large-scale hand-drawn structures"" which manually prints out strings of thermoplastic filament, guided by a digital tracking system. The support structures are made up of acrylic bonds providing structural stability in tension and also some strength in compression.
