Li Fi > Wi Fi

Submitted by Admin on

Li-Fi is the faster, more secure cousin of Wi-Fi Wireless. The Internet is about to reach lightspeed, literally. it's 100 times faster than Wi-Fi.

You'll be hearing more about Li-Fi wireless technology that transmits high-speed data using visible light communication VLC. With scientists achieving speeds of 224 gigabits per second in the lab using Li-Fi earlier this year, the potential for this technology to change everything about the way we use the Internet is huge.

Medical Technology

I am undergoing a series of medical procedures, which should answer the questions my doctors have raised recently... What's up with that?

Media marvels will be allowing hospital cameras to travel down my throat and also into my intestines for inspection (I've been assured that its not going to be the same camera) these tests, along with a scheduled cat scan ( I don't care for mean cats, or dogs for that matter) are being performed to take a closer look at my digestive system. I am told the stomach is the engine of our body.

Who is right, who is wrong and why must Apple and US Justice Department officials continue fighting over bits of bytes? This war of legal briefs continue to grow bigger and with time it may not get better, but worse.

We are living at a time when great advances are constantly made in many areas of science and technology. These advances are having a major impact on our lives, and this will probably continue to be the case for the foreseeable future.

This Treasury Office photo indicates just how far computers have evolved. Now a general-purpose electronic device that can be programmed for just about any logical operations automatically.

Since a sequence of operations can be readily changed, the computer can solve more than one kind of problem. http://www.doseofnews.com/index.php?loc=technology

MEDIA MADNESS

Submitted by ub on

Why is it that following acts of violence, which causes multiple deaths, the media keeps mentioning the perpetrator? These people who commit crimes are sick people seeking attention and the media gives it to them every time. We need to have conversations with friends and colleagues about this problem.

CITY IMAGES proposes that these criminals be left in the shadows to lurk in their own darkness. The emotional crescendo of family friends and our nation is understandable following tormented losses, most of which are caused by the growing access of guns in this country.

According to The Associated Press, there were several questionable moments during last night's debate. It appears that US may need a truth meter because there are going to be many more of these debates in the coming months.

Possibly this is stated this way because understating the state of affairs, here may be a defensible assessment of the seriousness of the stakes. The future of the country and of the free world. To be personified and settled by people in politics, business and health care who are evenly spaced apart inside a TV studio situated on the edge of the political precipice.

Findings indicate the following: 2 in 5 workers keep working outside of traditional office hours;
1 in 4 check on work during activities with family and friends; Men more likely to be tied to the office
