Lawsuit: Apple, Google recording users without their knowledge
BigTech has long insisted that voice assistance is the next step when it comes to convenience, saying the technology can help people with every little need that pops up. But a new lawsuit challenges that narrative, alleging that voice assistants from Google and Apple listen in on, and even record, conversations — even if they’re not supposed to. […]

Is China using deepfakes to fool the U.S. military?
Deepfakes, which come from the words “deep (learning)” and “fakes,” have sparked privacy rows recently, and for good reason. The technology behind making fake images is slowly gaining ground — with reports saying that “perfectly real” deepfake images and videos are just months away from being accessible to everyone. While the ramification of this technology is […]

It’s good enough for the elderly, why not your kids? Google patents an AI “babysitter” system that can “protect” unattended children by locking doors and turning off plug outlets remotely
In the age of the internet-of-things, nearly everything in your house is connected to a network. Most of us are, in one way or another, already part of this tangled web. While you may be comfortable enough to use “smart” devices to manage our everyday tasks, will you be comfortable with it looking after your children as […]

Study finds algorithm to speed up development of quantum computers
It’s easy to see why experts are gearing up for a future powered by quantum computers. For one, these have the potential to outperform conventional computers. Unlike our current models which operate using single binary values of “0” or “1,” quantum computers use qubits that can process using either value or even both at the same […]

Researchers develop a better device for measuring electromagnetic radiation
Our advances in technology are nothing short of amazing. Things that we once thought were impossible, technology has helped us explore, and even accomplish, these things — and possibly, even more. These, however, come with an unintended consequence: Since the 20th century, our exposure to electromagnetic (EM) radiation, especially from artificial sources, has markedly increased […]

Future data storage: Magnetic swirls called skyrmions hold promise for condensing data
If you’ve ever had your data wiped out because of a faulty hard drive, or just can’t seem to get enough storage for your data, the development of things called skyrmions may be the next step in making sure your data never disappears again. Researchers from the U.S. and Germany have discovered that magnetic swirls […]

Newly developed graphene circuits are flexible and water-resistant
With technology looking to be more accessible with each passing day, it’s no surprise that the tech arms race is now on wearable technology – that revolutionary technology which allows people to “tap into the connected self” through the use of smart sensors. One case against wearable technology, however, is that it still has the limitation of […]

Four tech predictions in history that didn’t quite hit the mark (and 3 that were spot-on)
“Que sera, sera…Whatever will be, will be. The future’s not ours to see…que sera, sera.” – goes a classic about letting the future be. That said, of course, there are still people that just can’t help but make prognostications, despite warnings from Doris Day’s iconic classic. In his video, The Jim Stroud Show pokes fun at earlier prophecies about […]
