How Big Data Is Reshaping The Future Of Music Industry

Technology has transformed surveillance in the past years. A simple CCTV camera no longer cuts the mark; the possibilities and demands for surveillance are endless. In the 21st century, businesses need to consider a lot of aspects that probably didn't even exist a few years back. Here are four surveillance trends every CIO should know as the world is becoming smarter.

AI Leaps

For all the attention and the broad discussion, as a user of the electronic devices, we are aware that Artifical Intelligence is revolutionizing every industry drastically. AI has already made a significant impact by bringing advancement and making the life of humans a lot easier. Video surveillance is one of them. The machine learning or deep learning is mostly used for video analytics in many industries.

Engineers fly first-ever plane with no moving parts

Since the first airplane took flight over 100 years ago, virtually every aircraft in the sky has flown with the help of moving parts such as propellers, turbine blades, and fans, which are powered by the combustion of fossil fuels or by battery packs that produce a persistent, whining buzz.

Now MIT engineers have built and flown the first-ever plane with no moving parts. Instead of propellers or turbines, the light aircraft is powered by an “ionic wind” – a silent but mighty flow of ions that is produced aboard the plane, and that generates enough thrust to propel the plane over a sustained, steady flight.

Unlike turbine-powered planes, the aircraft does not depend on fossil fuels to fly. And unlike propeller-driven drones, the new design is completely silent.

“This is the first-ever sustained flight of a plane with no moving parts in the propulsion system,” says Steven Barrett, associate professor of aeronautics and astronautics at MIT. “This has potentially opened new and unexplored possibilities for aircraft which are quieter, mechanically simpler, and do not emit combustion emissions.”

He expects that in the near-term, such ion wind propulsion systems could be used to fly less noisy drones. Further out, he envisions ion propulsion paired with more conventional combustion systems to create more fuel-efficient, hybrid passenger planes and other large aircraft.

Barrett and his team at MIT have published their results in the journal Nature.

SEO Trends Influencing the E-Commerce Industry

The algorithms used by major tech giants have developed gradually because of their investment in money, time and energy. As a result, search engine optimization (SEO) trends and leads to marketing tactics are constantly changing the present technological world. 

The SEO marketing strategies, which are already in place for e-commerce businesses, need to adopt the changes to remain relevant and dominate in their respective markets.

In a voice-search-dominated world, most of the searches are in the form of questions. So it is very important to structure the content in the website according to the questions. The content should be able to answer a potential customer’s questions. 

The optimisation of the questions is necessary. By using smart SEO tactics, this voice search technology can be accessed 24/7. Amazon's Alexa, Siri, and Cortana are some of the voice search technologies which allow voice interactions via phone, when in a car, and at home.
