5G – Because 4G is Too Mainstream!

As far as 5G is concerned the speed of the new technology is only a speculation at this time. No one has the right or exact idea about the speed but it is rumored to be at least 10 times faster than 4G-LTE. Sounds pretty darn good considering some cellular services in Pakistan are providing speeds of above 60MBPS.

2018 is said to be the beta testing year for 5G. It won’t be until 2019 that this technology is launched for mass accessibility.

Bots

No. We are not talking about robots, we are talking about bots. You know those annoying, automatic voices that we hear when we call at a helpline? Yes, we’re talking about those – the bots!

Numerous companies are working to take this to the next level and incorporate virtual assistance in our daily lives.

Imagine carrying a device around which comes with artificial intelligence and internet connectivity. You’re in a shopping mall and planning to buy something expensive but all of a sudden you hear a voice, “You are low on money, should you really be buying this?” Sounds quite freaky (and I might have over done this a bit!) but this is the basic idea behind personal bots.

As you try to sleep the device omits orange colored lights. The concept of having orange lights is that it helps you shut your eyes and takes you to sleep. We have no idea how that works and what is the scientific reason behind this but from what we hear, it’s suppose to work. During its launch in USA, people who put the mask on said to have slightly dozed off in a matter of few minutes.

For someone like me who always had trouble sleeping and is a light sleeper, this is the perfect invention. Why take medicine when lights can take you to sleep? This product will be available in the second half of the year.
