Everything you considered a product, has now become a service. We have access to transportation, accommodation, food and all the things we need in our daily lives.

In our city we don't pay any rent, because someone else is using our free space whenever we do not need it. My living room is used for business meetings when I am not there.

Shopping? I can't really remember what that is. For most of us, it has been turned into choosing things to use. Sometimes I find this fun, and sometimes I just want the algorithm to do it for me. It knows my taste better than I do by now.

“will increasingly shift to private, encrypted services where people can be confident what they say to each other stays secure.

There are all these different kinds of utilities for basically all the different things that you would want to do with everyone you know. And we basically built this whole platform around the town square

If you want to message someone on Instagram, you have to use Direct, if you want to message someone on WhatsApp you have to use WhatsApp. But I think people tend to have one of the messaging apps that they prefer the most. So giving people the choice to say, “Hey, I want to use WhatsApp because I prefer that as my service where I can not only message people on WhatsApp but I can message people on Facebook or Instagram as well and have those services connect …” I think that that will unlock a lot more convenient and seamless experiences. So connecting the services in that way I think will be valuable.

NEW EDUCATION MODELS

education will become an "on-demand service" where people "pull down a module of learning" when they need it.

"School kids will learn from short bite-sized modules, and gamification practices will be incorporated in schools

Развитие технологий отбирает у властных структур монополию на идентификацию человека по фото/видео и передаёт эту возможность буквально любому заинтересованному.

В проекте YOUR FACE IS BIG DATA я фотографировал людей, сидевших передо мной в вагоне метро, а потом искал их в социальных сетях с помощью общедоступного программного обеспечения. Таким образом я узнавал многое о жизни человека, не вступая в личный контакт, и мог сопоставить реальный образ с интернет-репрезентацией.

Для своего проекта Цветков использовал популярное приложение FindFace, авторы которого проиндексировали все доступные в открытом доступе фото во «ВКонтакте» и создали нейросеть, которая способна находить профиль нужного человека по снимку.

If data from personal biometric devices is ever going to be truly useful to researchers, big medical centers will have to pull it into electronic health records (EHRs), de-identify it, and make it public. Without the medical data found in EHRs, like CT scans, X-rays, and blood tests, researchers have little context for wearable sensor data and there is little useful information that can be gleaned from just the raw data

Practice Fusion, a popular EHR company, will begin opening up its API over the next year to pull in data from wearable sensors to its platform.

Basis, a startup that makes a health sensor-laden watch, is working on the first step: a device-agnostic platform that puts all of a person’s health sensor data into a single online repository.

they were able to show that automated facial expression recognition could be nearly as accurate as human recognition in analyzing a wider range of student movements and gestures.

emotionally-aware software isn’t without ethical and privacy questions, but it opens the door to technology that’s even more engaging and that fits more seamlessly into our lives.

по мнению гендиректора Swatch Group,

умные часы – это быстро устаревающая бытовая техника и она не станет конкурентом механическим часам, которые служат десятилетиями и передаются из поколения в поколение.

В Swatch Group есть компания под названием EM Microelectronic, которая является поставщиком компонентов для многих производителей умных браслетов – Garmin, например, – а также для производителей смартфонов, название которых я не могу разглашать.

Accessible drone technology is creating a bizarre future in the world of movie making

A Croatian website, MosCroatia first reported the drone detail in a larger update about Episode VIII will be doing some location filming in Dubrovnik, a popular tourist destination in the southern part of the country. Aside from reportedly having six hundred guards being deployed on location to try and prevent the public from snapping any sneaky pictures, the skies above filming will be protected by a team of remote-controlled drones that will target anyone attempting to fly a drone of their own over the set.

In 2014, the former director of both the CIA and NSA proclaimed that "we kill people based on metadata."

According to the documents, SKYNET engages in mass surveillance of Pakistan's mobile phone network, and then uses a machine learning algorithm on the cellular network metadata of 55 million people to try and rate each person's likelihood of being a terrorist.

 A flaw in how the NSA trains SKYNET's machine learning algorithm to analyse cellular metadata, Ball told Ars, makes the results scientifically unsound.

Соответствующий сервис Social Attributes запустило Национальное бюро кредитных историй (НБКИ) совместно с IT-компанией Double Data.

Первый опыт использования системы, по информации издания, показал, что подписка заемщика на группы о сетевом маркетинге, быстрых кредитах или антиколлекторах увеличивает риск невыплаты кредита в 2-4 раза. При этом позитивные действия пользователя, например, публикация фотографий о путешествиях, наоборот, снижают риски для кредитора.

But what would it be like if we lived in a world where everything you do is subject to a rating doled out by a combination of machines and other people?

Michael Fertik, the founder of Reputation.com and the author of the book The Reputation Economy, talks on the episode about all the ways that brands and companies are already compiling your information into a profile that helps them make decisions about you. Linkedin, AirBnB, Uber, they’re all gathering what Fertik calls your “digital exhaust” to learn more about you
