Future smart speakers won’t just know what you want — they’ll do your shopping for you

Future smart speakers won’t just know what you want — they’ll do your shopping for you.

January 11, 2019

So as I read Tasnims blog about the amazon-go-cashier-free-store, I decided to talk about something related to Amazon like Alexa.

‘I’ve heard of things that could do what you want only connected to your phone System but I never knew that one day there will be a think that can shop for you”-Opinion

Marketing professor Niraj Dawar says ”we will become more loyal to our AI service than our favorite brands”

As consumers around the globe progressively swing to smart speakers for their shopping needs, organizations are searching for new roads to move you products.

It would have more qualities then Alexa and Siri because they  will also offer a curated, well-researched and short selection based on your needs, wants and desires.

“That makes branding incredibly important, because if you are just asking your device to reorder the thing you’ve got last time, then there’s almost no branding exercise taking place there,” Tom Webster, vice president of strategy at Edison Research, told Day 6.

 Did you know?

The first major hurdle to overcome is one already at play in your local supermarket — the private label brand.

Amazon-Alexa

Amazon Basics is currently the world’s fastest growing private label, according to Niraj Dawar, a marketing professor at Western University’s Ivey Business School in London, Ont.

”When you bring someone a skill that they trust and that helps them … it actually changes how people feel about the people behind that brand.”-Tom Webster, marketing expert

It’s not incomprehensible that Alexa might one day order her own company’s product by default, rather than the Tide you’ve used for years. That’s the challenge that traditional brands need to overcome.

”A large part of marketers’ budgets are already spent convincing buyers to make a trip to their local shop for a specific product” said Dawar.

Deeper

About two-thirds of consumers use smart speakers according to research by Adobe Analytics. About 30 % of Consumers  order products online.

Webster says that these relatively simple tasks are “kind of a Trojan horse for everything else that they can do.”

As the technology is becoming a big topic in our lives, people will rely on them for more complex tasks.

“It’s very likely that algorithms that are embedded in these AI speakers will be able to sift through the noise … and pick the right one based on your calling patterns,” said Dawar.

Opinion

This Speaker does reduce the use on screen time so basically you see visual real estate more fewer which is good for your eyes. So I think that’s a good start to advance Alexa. The thing I hate about Alexa is when you ask her something it says Sorry… and doesn’t reply so you have to say the thing again. But again  that happens to some of us so it’s not a major problem. But overall by now Amazons Alexa is fine.

Qualcomm wins case against Apple, could lead to iPhone ban in Germany

  The iPhone’s 7 plus, 7, 8, 8 plus and X are affected,” said the regional court in Munich.

Qualcomm wins case against Apple, could lead to iPhone ban in Germany

Heated Topic…

A German court on Thursday found for US chipmaker Qualcomm in a patent debate argument against Apple, which could prompt a prohibition on offers of iPhone’s in Germany.

The court states that the order forbidding offers of influenced iPhone’s must be forced quickly if Qualcomm set out a security store adding up to $765 million.

The court also says that it had searched for the considerable sum as that could be the total allowed to Apple to the extent salary adversities if the iPhone maker makes sense of how to get the Munich  ruling overturned by a higher court.

My Opinion

I think that if Qualcomm manages to ban Apple iPhone’s in Germany the Apple company will lose half of its reputation and plus I don’t think Qualcomm should go against Apple and according to the news there aren’t any reasons of why Qualcomm is going against that.

Thanks for reading my today’s Blog! ✨✨🎇🎇

Jupiter’s moon Europa could support alien life, according to Scientists

A moon(Europa) in our own solar system might support life, according to scientists.

 Europa

Somewhat littler than Earth’s Moon, Europa’s water-ice surface is befuddled by long, straight cracks. Like our planet, Europa is thought to have an iron center, a rough mantle and a sea of salty water. In contrast to Earth, in any case, Europa’s sea lies underneath a shell of ice likely 10 to 15 miles (15 to 25 kilometers) thick and has an expected profundity of 40 to 100 miles (60 to 150 kilometers).  Credit

Could there be life on Jupiter’s moon Europa?

Europa is the fourth largest moon of Jupiter. Scientists think that life may exist on Europa because there is evidence that fluid water may exist underneath its frigid surface. Europa is pushed and pulled by the high gravity of Jupiter and additionally by the gravity of Jupiter’s different moons. This influences Europa to extend and contract and it makes it warm up and this warmth may make a portion of Europa’s cold covering melt under the surface. In this way, there might be lakes and seas of fluid water on Europa.Water is a major requirement for life. On the off chance that there is fluid water on Europa, there might be life.

“If indeed there’s life in that ocean, subduction offers a way to supply the nutrients it would need,” said Brandon Johnson.

“Adding salt to an ice slab would be like adding little weights to it because salt is denser than ice,” said Professor Johnson. “So rather than temperature, we show that differences in the salt content of the ice could enable subduction to happen on Europa.”

 

    Proof

Researchers say they have discovered that there are sliding structural plates underneath the moon’s ice shell. The nearness of such movement could have essential ramifications for the likelihood of life in the ocean that researchers believe is stowing away underneath the outside layer that covers it. That covering seems to contain inside it oxidants and other synthetic nourishment that can bolster life.

My opinion/Respond

Well I think that there is some sort of life out there in Europa. In general I think that space is huge and there will be lots of living organisms out there. However,  they are yet to discover. I’m not really sure if aliens exist.

Today’s questions for you:

1. Do you think aliens exist in general?
2. Do you believe that their is life in Europa? If your answer is yes: include some of the living species you believe would exist in Europa.

 

 

 

 

What allows doctors to predict how long patients have left to live !

Scientists identified the key signs that allow doctors to predict how long patients have left to live.

November 27, 2018

So hopefully everyone knows that Death is something we all will have to suffer. It’s something we should all be informed of.  A new UCL-led study has identified the key signs and symptoms that allow doctors to recognize when a patient is close to death. Credit

Imagining the season of death is hard, at any rate fundamentally. It empowers patients and their touching ones to design in the center of the present moment, at any rate, a past report has seen that the most influential in measure interfaced from a poor range underestimate of 86 days to an overestimate of 93 days. Scientists wanted to find out how expert palliative care doctors predict the imminent death so they invited some professionals to participate in a study thought experts anticipate the quick pushing toward passing so they respected a few specialists to esteem an examination. They were given 20 real-life cases and were asked for to pick whether the patient was close passing or not. Scientists used this examination to confine the best 20% of individuals who were most right in these needs.

 

The professional ones thought pros that were the best in their needs by then were given an additional 50 occasions of hypothetical patients. They have foreseen that would study the probability of death inside the running with 72 hours. Using these information specialists saw key signs and factors that allow these genius predictions of the season of death. Thinks showed that the most influencing section was the Palliative Performance Score (interfacing from totally free 100 % to requiring full help and noticeable quality <10%). The second most basic factor was the exceptional breathing model called Cheyne Stoke extricating up.

 

Specialists say that these results could be critical in truly making these figures more right. Dr. Adrian Tookman, co-maker of the paper, conveyed: “This paper sustains that quality and data here is required; we need to perceive how we can help people with dealing with the uncertainties that can occur at this time”. Specialists believe that this examination will help in improving educational planning materials to show pros, medical students and other social protection experts how to model their own judgment structures about the forefront passing.

 

The request ‘to what degree has my esteemed one got?’ is hard to offer and to hear, regardless everyone expects a sensible and a correct answer. It is difficult to get ready for the outline of death, yet it is less requesting if it is typical. Studies like this could make predictions a bit more accurate.

My Comment:

I think that it would be great because the fact that the doctors will predict our death at a rate of time according to machines or so would make life less demanding on the grounds that somebody should need to state something imperative before their passing.

Floor-cleaning robots just the start, says Vancouver company

CBC News-October 28,2018/at 1:46 pm

My Topic

Hello, Today I will be discussing about a new self-driving robot  that just came up last Week.

Development

So Technology is one thing that has been increasing every single year and there are some pros and cons for that. So now getting more into the  topic : Three Graduates from the University of British Colombia  who are Kung (25), Matthew Anderson and Jessica Yip discovered A&K Robotics in the year 2015 and now these graduates are setting a goal to have a robotic industry in Vancouver. Why ? why because they think robots should be hired and should be in counter of our everyday life routine. Now they  developed a technology that transforms  floor cleaning machines into self-driving robots which polish the floors and  suck up grime in two buildings  on UBC’s campus. Now they  employ more than 20 people and  they’ve  sold the technology to UBC, the Vancouver International Airport and customers in the U.S. and Europe.

How much does the Robot Cost currently ?

This robot costs about $10,000 currently.

Are these Machines dangerous ?

No not really they  know their process and the avoid People and Objects.

Take their side

UBC Building Operations joined with the company to gain with the technology with its custodian staff. Two of the robotic floor cleaners are already in use at UBC’s Henry Angus and Life Sciences buildings, and five are to be set in place until November.

-Watch this :A&K Robotics floor cleaner now roaming UBC

The Problem

The problem or more pacifically the Question is that does it make jobs redundant? :As  self-driving robots and other types of  technologies continue to advance, there is a risk that we may lose jobs. Because a 2016 study  from the Brookfield Institute  at Toronto’s Ryerson University estimated  that 42 % of the Canadian works are  at a  risk of being replaced by new technology and computers.

But yet again the A&K Robotics say they want the robots to take the task and by the way some robots weight up to 386 kg, according to UBC.

My Comment

I think this Self-driving robot  and other Technologies won’t help instead they would more have a bad affect on jobs.

Whats Next ?

So now to know further more about this Topic we will need to wait for the CBC News reporter to say weather this will continue or not and for more information.

Thank you for reading my Today’s article.🌹
