    What Will The City Of The Future Look Like?

    Climate change is a huge problem for the entire world but researchers are starting to move towards a solution. The idea of an entire country powered by a central grid looks like it may become obsolete eventually. Instead, there is a move toward self-sufficient cities that power themselves entirely on clean energy and run on exciting new technology. Sci-fi movies are packed full of predictions about what these future cities might look like but flying cars and floating buildings aren’t likely anytime soon. So, what is the city of the future actually going to look like?

    From KFC to Healthcare: VR Training is Here

    What once was science fiction is now science fact. Virtual reality (VR) training offers a new, modern way for professionals to engage in learning. Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) recently announced their latest training module called “The Hard Way — a KFC Virtual Training Escape Room,” which teaches employees how to inspect, rinse, bread, rack, and pressure fry ingredients without ever having to enter a kitchen. This highlights a wider trend toward VR training than we’ve ever seen before, with simulated learning being taken seriously among professionals across multiple fields as well as in education. Lucas Rizzotto’s recent series, “How VR, AR, & AI Can Change Education Forever”, imagines that the…

    Future Fuel Tech: What Will Power Tomorrow’s Cars?

    While the fossil fuel industry has proved remarkably resilient at extending its dominance of the car fuel market, there are a few very good reasons to assume that - at some point - one or more of the alternative fuels under development and/or currently in use will make its mark. The problem in relying on a single fuel type to power the global economy is that the supply chain could be so easily interrupted. Then we’ll wish we had access to one of the following.

    Some Technology You Once Only Dreamed Of

    Technology is one of those things that is always expanding and always surprising the layman that loves using it but doesn’t always understand just how it works. Virtual reality may still feel like science fiction to some people, even though it’s becoming a more and more common thing in the world. Drones still seem alien to some people and they are used by the military and by photo- and videographers on a regular basis.

    How Business Intelligence and Automation is Taking Over Marketing

    Since the internet made its transitions into the average household in the 90’s there has been an explosion of websites. Billions and billions of sites clutter the World Wide Web and amongst all this chaos are the millions upon millions of online stores. The noise coming from all retailers competing for attention has become deafening to most, hence the overwhelming popularity of software additions like ad blockers. If you are one of the many businesses competing in the online sphere, you have to start getting creative and playing smarter if you want any reasonable share of the online market.

    The Blockchain and The Byzantine Generals Problem

    Twenty years ago, nobody would have predicted the impact that a popularized global information network would have on society–and even though the internet has only been around for a little over two decades, we still have yet to max out its potential, with wearables, connected home devices, and other Internet of Things (IoT) components just recently becoming popular. Nevertheless our dependence on the worldwide web is easily demonstrated. For example, in 2014, it was calculated that $1.2 million dollars worth of business was done every 30 seconds online, and Pew Research released a report showing that only about 13 percent of Americans don’t use the internet. You would think that…
