Top Trends in Wireless Technology and Communication 2017 #Infographic #Wireless

Communication has been the basis of our civilization. Cave drawings from a million years ago tell us that there exists a primitive human need to convey thought, opinion and emotion. Now, we text, tweet, BBM, Snapchat, and Google… From cave etchings to Twitter, it’s been a fantastic journey. Homing pigeons and marathon men gave way the first telephone and radio, hailing the new era of communication technology that is our world.

Wireless communication, of course, is technology’s most ingenious contribution to humanity. In 1999, when the first wireless compatible devices began to be built, it was an exclusive niche market, but it evolved rapidly into mainstream life -an indispensable part of everyday business. Mobile devices like GPS units and phones have assisted communication from the remotest places on Earth and even space.

Smartphones and wireless devices that double-up as computer systems have aided sharing texts, photos, business-ideas, and work files; and they have clearly improved the productivity of workspaces. Increased internet speeds have made it possible to upload information on ‘virtual clouds,’ from any part of the world, increasing efficiency and introducing new ways of performing many different business tasks. In fact, the world today boasts of 700 million Wi-Fi connected internet users and around 800 million new devices being added every year. We’ve never been more ‘connected.’

What Employers Need To Know About Remote Workers #Infographic #RemoteWorking

Remote working is on the rise. Thanks to technology it is now easier to work anytime and from anywhere in the world. Online collaboration has also made it possible for employers to get the best possible talent on a global scale. Working in a physical office is slowly becoming a thing of the past.

Remote working offers an ideal setup for both the worker and the employee as it offers a lot of advantages over the 9 to 5 office work setup. That is why remote workers are very much happy as well.

In this infographic, Time Doctor, a time tracking software company, looked at how satisfied remote workers are in their work setup. Using data from TINYPulse, 509 remote workers from the United States were surveyed as to their experiences in their respective workplaces. Their responses were then compared to 200,000 employees from other work arrangements.

The infographic below shows some of the key results.

Approaching the Age of Autonomous Vehicles #Infographic #Autonomy #Vehicles

While the concept of self-driving cars seems like a futuristic dream, the reality is not as far away as one might think. With car companies plus technology gurus working around the clock, our roads will be filled with autonomous vehicles sooner rather than later – a major boon for the economy, the environment, and people’s safety.

As it stands currently, commuters in the U.S. spend almost two days each year stuck in traffic, and statistics show that each year, more than 30,000 people die in car accidents. The world of self-driving cars will help ease these burdens and more. Some positive benefits include:

-The cutting of CO2 emissions by 300 million tons per year. This is the equivalent of over 87 coal-fired power plants.
-Removing the necessity of up to 90% of parking lots.
-Potentially saving $190 billion per year as it relates to traffic accident costs.

In honor of the self-driving future that is not too far down the road, Swift Navigation, a San Francisco-based startup building centimeter-accurate GPS technology, presents an infographic “Approaching the Age of Autonomous Vehicles.”
