Technological Advancements For Leaders Who Love Adventures

Traveling has sometimes been quoted as a luxury rather than a necessity. But for leaders in different industries, may it be if they are entrepreneurs young and old, politicians, head of nonprofit organizations, etc., leaders need to recharge and some adventures too. Seeking adventure and spending time away from the keyboard inspires and motivates to become better leaders. And for tech-savvy individuals, apps never fail to make traveling to unchartered territories comfortable and as adventurous as possible.
Below are mobile apps that will help entrepreneurs keep track of their business while away, and at the same time enjoy the great outdoors.
1. Google TranslateFirst time traveling to China, Thailand, or Costa Rica? How exciting. But wait, do you even know how to ask for directions, say “hi” or “thank you” in their native tongue? This is where Google Translate comes in. Google Translate is a free app designed translate over 100 languages. Although it’s not 100% accurate, it will help you get on with simple commands or requests.
2. First Aid by Red CrossImagine you’re in the middle of nowhere and suddenly you fell ill. Let say you got an upset stomach for eating exotic foods, or you didn’t realize you’re allergic to pollen. If you’re in the city, it’s easy to see a doctor and buy the prescribed meds. But if you’re in the wilderness, that’s not going to happen. This app by Red Cross is tailored to provide expert information during emergency situations like earthquakes, hurricanes, and first aid treatments.  The app is equipped with diagrams, videos, and steps that are easy to understand.
3. Weather UndergroundRoad Trips with fellow motorcycle enthusiasts is another fun way to travel. Especially if you’re traveling with the latest Harley electric motorcycle that just came out. The only thing that would stop you from doing it is bad weather. Weather Underground predicts it for you. This app is great in providing real-time weather reports and radar imaging from where you’re at. The best part is its first light/last light feature. Unlike other apps, Weather Underground tells you exactly when the sun rises and sets.
4. SlackSlack is an instant messaging app which stands for Searchable Log of All Conversation and Knowledge. It allows easy and quick communications between you and your team in terms of channels, groups, and private messages. Another best thing about Slack is that you can integrate this with third-party services like Dropbox, Trello, and Zendesk. Which is why you can still get in touch with your team and keep the business going while you’re away.
5. SkywikiAre you enthralled with celestial bodies as a kid? Let your inner astronomer come alive with Skywiki. Skywiki is a stunning, easy to use app which allows you to stargaze while traveling (or camping). Some of its features include the Calendar page (provides information of past and future events) and the Periscope page (shows information about astronomical events and Solar System objects). Skywiki also has a 2D skymap feature and an Images page which displays Astronomy Picture of the day, Hubble picture of the day, the Lunar image of the day, and NASA Image of the day.

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...
