Facebook confirms it may follow Instagram and hide like counts. 

Users might feel less anxious about the perceived popularity of their content. Studies have shown that social media use may influence mental health, including leading to depression and anxiety. 

Samsung has posted its first ads for the new Galaxy S 4 smartphone that will be available for pre-order next week. The ads show off a few of the phone’s unique features like its built-in translator and multimedia sharing options.

AT&T will begin accepting pre-orders for this smartphone on April 16 starting at $199.99. For some reason, late last month when AT&T announced that it would accept pre-orders, it mentioned that pricing would be $249.99. We’re still waiting for finalized pricing and release dates from the other carriers.

Siemens has opened its first center for sustainable urban development in London, UK that claims to host the largest exhibition and conference center in the world dedicated to promoting smart city technologies in the project name ‘The Crystal’.

The glass paneled building cost around $50 million is to help cities of the future embrace new technologies and tackle growing populations and resource scarcity.

What is Crystal?

“The Crystal is a sustainable cities initiative by Siemens that explores how we can create a better future for our cities. It is home to the world’s largest exhibition focused on urban sustainability.

As a world-class centre for dialogue, discovery and learning, it reveals the challenges that cities face, and the ways we can reduce their environmental impact using sustainable technologies, many available today.”

This project is for everyone and brings together mayors, city decision-makers, politiciaons, urban planners, architects and infrastructure experts as well as the local community, international visitors and educational groups, from school children to post-graduate students. The Crystal is one of the world’s greenest buildings, with exemplary BREEAM and LEED accreditation.

The Crystal which is located on the waterfront at the western end of the Royal Victoria Docks in East London is an “all electric” building, which operates free from fossil fuels, thanks to a large number of solar panels on the roof. Battery storage will ensure that any excess energy generated doesn’t go to waste. This centre is the largest of three planned by the company, with two smaller facilities planned for Shanghai and Washington. Following its two inaugural conferences, it will open to the public on this September 29.

“Cities worldwide are making investments to improve their water supplies, power grids, transportation systems and building infrastructure. In this growth market, the Crystal will help us intensify dialogue with our customers,” says Roland Busch, chief executive of the company’s Infrastructure and Cities sector.

According to Siemens, cities account for around 80% of global economic output, two-thirds of global energy consumption, and 70% of worldwide greenhouse gas emissions.

Over the years internet penetration has increased exponentially. Lifestyles have evolved and the level of dependency was never higher. Internet technology has had a huge impact on peoples’ lives. It has redefined the way people think and behave.

Internet has given individuals access to unlimited knowledge. Perceptions and opinions have been changed with time. Life in general has become more dynamic and fast-paced than it ever was. Productivity and efficiency have been improved as a result.
Internet technology has allowed people to explore new horizons. The overall technological advancement has been helped by internet technology. Even the way people do business has evolved with the adoption of internet.

 

 

Manufacturing and supply chain processes have been made easier and simpler with the introduction of this technology. Automation of certain business processes by making use of internet has made them more effective and efficient. Chances of error have been reduced drastically.

The calculation of lead time in manufacturing processes is now done by using internet based software. Networking allows different workstations to be connected together and share information. Therefore, internet technology aids in due date approximation through management systems with internet options.

Due date approximation will help a business in identifying when repairs and maintenance are due or when certain operations can be performed. Some internet based software will even analyze the costs and other factors which can affect due dates.
Even in case of day-to-day business operations, due dates are very important. For example, due date approximation will help managers calculate when salaries are to be paid. Even for specific tasks, these due dates have to be considered.

This approximation makes it much easier for the business to optimize their processes and increase their productivity. All these tasks were done manually which took more time and was more costly. Internet technology has helped reduce the time, money and energy spent on each task.

Businesses can now have a more proactive approach towards their operations in general. All departments and intermediaries involved in a particular process can be linked together. They can share information in real time which makes the task much easier.

Internet options have also been adopted in the medical world. Doctors can now use internet technology for due date approximation. Devices which use internet technology to transmit information directly to a patient’s medical consultant are being introduced.
One of the most common devices being researched upon will help manage heart problems. This device will transmit pulse signals to a receiver via internet connectivity. It will indicate when a checkup is due and in case anything goes wrong.

This will allow doctors to take timely action and save lives. It is believed that such devices will help in managing health problems better and enable doctors and patients to be better prepared to take necessary actions in emergency situations.

It is also being said that these devices will be able to serve a wide range of purposes. Some specific ones will also help in due date approximations in case of pregnancies as well. This is already being done through other techniques but it is said that devices with internet options will be more precise and accurate.

Due date approximation has always been done, but with the use of internet technology it has been made more accurate. It will allow you to take the right decision at the right time by being prepared beforehand.

In more dramatic situations, it can help save lives but in the daily life, it can help businesses maximize their profits. We often do not realize how important due date approximation is in our daily lives. The fact is, it helps us in managing our schedules and our expenses too.

We use due date approximations to make our budgets for the month. This is one of the most basic individual adaptations that can be used. It is easy to evaluate the importance of these dates on a micro level. The effect that they have on a macro level is more significant.

Internet technology has revolutionized the way people live their lives. Many people criticize it for the many disadvantages that it has but they tend to ignore the advantages. They do not realize how much this technology has helped us. Due date approximation is probably one of the smallest aspects that were affected by technological advancements and even that had such huge impacts.
