A new and connected era

Also called 4.0, this new robotic era we are living in follows the other three transformative historical processes. The fourth industrial revolution is an expression coined by the founder and leader of the World Economic Forum, Klaus Schwab, referring to the intense technological changes that have been modifying our productive and social processes since the middle of the last century: A fusion of technologies that blur the lines between our established physical spheres, both digital and biological.

Schwab himself declared that humanity is “on the brink of a technological revolution that will fundamentally alter the way we live, work, and relate to one another. In its scale, scope, and complexity, the transformation will be unlike anything humankind has experienced before “.

According to Schwab and some other experts, now we have the opportunity to shape this Fourth Industrial Revolution, which will dramatically alter how we live and work. “The future of employment will be made of jobs that do not exist yet, in industries using new technologies, under planetary conditions that no human being has ever experienced,” sums up David Ritter, CEO of Greenpeace Australia / Pacific, in a column about the Fourth Industrial Revolution for the British newspaper The Guardian.

Data and security applications

Probably, the most important element on this list. New security requirements of Apple are changing mobile development. Google is likely to present something similar for Android. The latest trends in this area are connected with blocking. Together with two-factor authentication and other methods, you can significantly increase data protection.

New technology will enable computers to run 100x faster

Until now, the major challenges that stood in the way of creating the terahertz microchip were overheating and scalability. However, following three years of extensive research, Hebrew University of Jerusalem (HU) physicist Uriel Levy and his team have shown proof of concept using flash memory technology. “This discovery could help fill the ‘THz gap’ and create new and more powerful wireless devices that could transmit data at significantly higher speeds than currently possible,” said Levy, head of HU’s Nano-Opto Group. “In the world of high-tech advances, this is game-changing technology,” he added. In a paper published in the journal Laser and Photonics Review , Levy and HU emeritus professor Joseph Shappir showed proof of concept for an optic technology that integrates the speed of optic communications with the reliability and manufacturing scalability of electronics. Optic communications includes all technologies that use light to carry information through fiber-optic cab...

iPhone X 2018

Until last year, the company had for three years released two phones: the normal iPhone, and the bigger Plus-sized ones, which would take the same name. Then last year it did the same, but also added the X, a model that sat between the two other phones in terms of size but featured a whole range of different, new and futuristic features. Read more Pictures claim to show new iPhone as release date nears This time around, Apple is expected to release two of those futuristic, more premium phones. They will, in short, be an updated version of the X, featuring much the same design but with a whole host of even more new features – in traditional Apple terms, they will be an Xs and an Xs Plus, though it's incredibly unlikely they'll actually be called anything like that. And then they will also be joined by another, cheaper model. That will sit in between the two other phones in terms of size, but will be cheaper than both of them – while it will have much the same des...
