The future of cellular network
Posted on November 8, 2017 ·
Imagine using drones to provide your mobile network coverage. In Puerto Rico, for the first time an LTE cell site on a drone has been successfully deployed to connect residents after a disaster.
“As we work to permanently restore our network, this experimental technology is providing data, voice, and text services to customers,” AT&T said in an announcement today. “This is the first time an LTE cell site on a drone has been successfully deployed to connect residents after a disaster.”
Industry 4.0 and banking

A lot of people over the next five to 10 years will see their roles affected.
Deutsche Bank CEO John Cryan has made headlines before for his prediction that technology will end many banking jobs, but he offered more insight into exactly how the financial world will change in an interview with CNBC on the sidelines of the Singapore Summit.
The banking sector, he said unequivocally, will see many of its current roles automated. In fact, Cryan said, “it would be inappropriate not to say that’s the case — it’s not specific to our bank, in fact it’s a sector-wide phenomenon.”

Elon Musk wants to get inside your head. In April, the Silicon Valley billionaire announced plans to launch Neuralink—a company dedicated to developing a brain-to-machine interface to cure brain ailments like paralysis and memory problems and help people compete with robots when the artificial intelligence revolution makes human brains obsolete. Musk says this will be accomplished by implanting tiny electrodes into the brain—allowing for things like downloading and uploading memory and casual brain-to-brain communication.

Electric field tomography.
“It’s as simple as adding a conductive coating, such as special paint, to an object and then putting sensing electrodes around the edges of the area you want to make interactive, say the researchers. You can even add a protective coating. To sense the placement of touch, they use a technique called electric field tomography.”

The world’s most valuable resource is no longer oil, but data

And companies that control the data have become very powerful. They are Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Microsoft. Why are they so powerful? Because they can eliminate their rivals easily.
“They have a “God’s eye view” of activities in their own markets and beyond. They can see when a new product or service gains traction, allowing them to copy it or simply buy the upstart before it becomes too great a threat. Many think Facebook’s $22bn purchase in 2014 of WhatsApp, a messaging app with fewer than 60 employees, falls into this category of “shoot-out acquisitions” that eliminate potential rivals. By providing barriers to entry and early-warning systems, data can stifle competition.”
