9 technology mega trends that will change the world in 2018

Image
Some tech trends fizzle out and die a quiet death, while others are so significant that they trans form our world and how we live in it. Here are the top nine tech mega-trends that I believe will define 2018 and beyond. Trend 1: The increasing datafication of our lives From chatting to friends in a messaging app or buying a coffee, to tapping in and out with an Oyster card or streaming music, today almost everything we do leaves a trail of data breadcrumbs. And this increasing datafication of our world has led to an unprecedented explosion in data. Just in the average minute , Facebook receives 900,000 logins, more than 450,000 Tweets are posted, and 156 million emails and 15 million texts are sent.With numbers like that, it's no wonder we're essentially doubling the amount of data created in the world roughly every two years. Trend 2: The Internet of Things (IoT) and how everyday devices are becoming more 'smart' The IoT – which encompasses smart, connected produ...

us scammers may be using dna testing to defraud medicare and steal identities

Image
Authorities in several US states are warning about an alleged scam in which people visit senior-living communities and low-income neighbourhoods, offering to perform DNA tests and collecting information from people in government health programmes. The alleged DNA-testing scams appear to be a new twist on an old tactic, in which people are tricked into giving away personal information or participating metal in medical services they don't need. Perpetrators of such schemes can bill the US government for unneeded medical tests and procedures, or use the information they collect – such as Medicare and Medicaid identification data – to commit identity theft and fraud. In Kentucky, Attorney General Andy Beshear's office said this month that Louisville residents had reported people operating out of a van and offering to pay Medicaid recipients US$20 (RM83) for DNA swabs and their health insurance information. In Nebraska, the state insurance commissioner's office said it had...

diy vacuum robot

Image
This is my first Vacuum Robot, which it's main purpose is to allow anyone to have a cleaning robot without paying so much money, to learn how they work, to build a nice robot that you can modify, update and program as much as you want, and of course to vacuum all that annoying fluff.This project is intended to be as easy to build as possible since all the elements and parts are easy to find on Digikey, eBay, Amazon, etc.The whole chassis was designed in Solidworks so that it could be 3d printed. Currently it uses an Arduino Uno (if you don't like it too much you can easily change it for another micro controller, I decided to use this since my objective north is that anyone could actually build it), micro-metal motors, fan propeller, infrared sensors and respective driver modules.Another one bites the dust!So, first I will define all the materials that I used and later I will suggest other options with a similar behavior.Controllers:Actuators:Sensors:Power:3d Printing:Other ma...
