Forget email drafts, notes apps and to-do list managers: Taskade does all that and moreEverything I need to keep my life running is stored online.

In reality, the internet has a way of fragmenting our lives.

But it is the best life-organization tool I’ve tried.Taskade combines the features of a note-taking app, a task-management app and a spreadsheet tool the way that Steve Jobs combined an iPod, a cellphone and a web browser into the iPhone: All these tools work together to create something more than its parts.I should mention that Taskade is fairly expensive: It has a limited free tier and costs $8 a month for heavy use.

Still, it might pay for itself in the apps it replaces, and I’ve found it easily worth the cost.

I made databases with all the movies, books, TV shows, and YouTube videos I need to get to—each cell opens to a rich document with my notes and thoughts.

The app’s basic element is the block, which could be a paragraph of text, a bulleted list, a table, an image, a code snippet, a YouTube video, a PDF and more.

Primarily being used for pilot-mounted heads up displays, flight simulations, and military applications, it has only recently made an explosive entrance into the world of entertainment and gaming (see Pokémon Go’s success).

In this article, we’ll look at 10 ways that retailers can use to take advantage of augmented reality.Augmented Reality Gives Retailers Virtual Fitting Rooms for Higher Conversion Rates.Trying on clothing at a physical store location is not everyone’s first choice when it comes to shopping for clothes, especially if one has a family with them or they are in a hurry.

This helps retailers get higher conversion rates because it allows customers to try on clothing at their own leisure when it best suits them, thus giving them more time to make a more informed purchase decision.Augmented Reality Can Aid in Navigating Large Warehouses.Augmented reality can support warehouse management by speeding up the data capture processes, so that warehouse managers and staff can easily locate and keep tabs on products without having to manually count or locate items.

For instance, warehouse staff can use augmented reality to quickly identify and collect items via barcode scanning software, allowing them to accurately order pick items without error.

Virtual stores like this allow companies to get close to their customers without the high cost of inventory, employee wages or frustratingly long checkout lines.The Gamification of Augmented Reality Helps Engage Customers &  Provides Purchase Incentive.Augmented reality applications that are built alongside physical products can be used to gamify the sales decision.

Examples of this include Pepsi’s Bus Shelter AR Ad which turned common bus shelter posters into an entertaining experience, Toys “R” Us AR campaign that gave children the ability to go on a virtual Easter egg hunt (the eggs were coupon codes for toys in the store), and  Lacoste’s virtual try-on which used an AR app for its brand to aid customers in trying on their shoes.

When it comes to data breaches and other Cyber Security Threats, many people discuss the risks from outside hackers.

While outside hackers are a huge concern, Internal employees can do a lot more damage to an organization’s IT infrastructure.

He decided to steamroll through his former employer’s Amazon Web Services (AWS) accounts and deleted twenty-three servers.

The company lost big contracts with transport companies as a result.Police say that the wreckage caused an estimated loss of $700,000 at the time.

Also, it took months to track down the culprit.A Few Statistics$2.4 million The average cost of a malware attack on a company27.4%The net increase in the average annual number of security breaches50 days The average time to resolve a malicious insider attack191 daysThe time it takes for organizations to identify data breachesCould Have, Should Have, Would HaveThe company, could have done a few things to protect itself from this sort of nightmare.

Voova CEO, Mark Bond, admitted to the court that the company should have implemented Multi-factor authentication (2FA), 2FA would have made it much harder for this to have happened.Set a Two-Step Verification Process:Two-step verification helps by making it more difficult for someone else to sign in to your account.

Though implementation of Augmented Reality technology can be seen in popular AR games such as Pokémon Go, Beat Saber (VR), Wizards Unite, and Minecraft Earth, it is rapidly expanding beyond mobile gaming to other industries too.

The camera within the smartphone or tablet is used to detect specific markers or patterns such as images or codes (think QR for example).

Many augmented reality developmental kits will offer free and commercial licenses; however, free licenses are often very limited in their feature sets.

There are also some platforms available for macOS, but you will need to specifically look for these.Consider smart glasses support.

While almost all AR mobile applications function through smartphones and sometimes tablets, AR objects may be overlaid right into the real world with smart glasses in the future.

The reason for this is because smart glasses provide a hands-free experience, which may become more popular as more smart glasses are built and accepted into the mainstream.

According to Google stat report, Alexa skills usage continues to rise with time.

Alexa can reinvent learning and teaching.Integration with the smart education systemMillennial generation needs everything that is technology-driven.

Interactive learning systems integrated with voice-based services can provide a great cognitive environment for students.

Transparency and connection improve results as well.

Technology-based interaction also increases a student’s curiosity and concentration.Need for Alexa and voice-based services in educationAlexa as a voice-based interactive system can transform the education system.

It helps students to concentrate more and builds dreams for the future.

If you are not improving your stakeholder experience, that being the experience your employees, customers, partners, and community has in relation to you, both the short and long-term business milestones are missed.

With this said, 2020 is the year to start taking digital transformation trends seriously as there are a few that will change how you do business.APIs Will Be Used in the Multi-Cloud Environment: Large enterprises use multi-cloud environments to help distribute computing resources like assets, software, and applications without the risk of downtime and data loss.

API-led application development and containerization are two trends that are going to unlock data functionality while keeping the code and all of its dependencies packaged up in one unit.

Not only can it automate tasks, but it can reduce human bias and create personalized customer experiences.

The use of virtual agents/chatbots are the most common iteration of AI & Machine Learning, but we will also see warehouse pick-and-place robots, surgical robots, and AI being used in fraud detection, investments, and loan approval processes within the financial sector.Data Will Continue to Drive Business: In order for businesses to streamline operations and improve their relationships with customers, they are turning towards data to tell them what the market wants and needs.

Data-driven businesses can launch products quickly, introduce new services, and break down the data they gather to improve company performance.5G Is on Its Way Now!

Machine learning is not a new concept in cutting edge tech society and is used in a wide variety of advanced tech applications, namely, targeted advertising and data management.

Traditional machine learning requires four steps from start to finish: reading and merging, preprocessing, optimization, and application.

AutoML focuses mainly on data collection and prediction, effectively the first, and the last step of traditional machine learning, as these are easily automated already.

Not only does machine learning require a team of experienced data scientists, but also requires a decision on what model of machine learning would work best for the business, which means that the data scientists, who already claim a premium salary, would need more experience with the business in order to be effective.

Automating this pipeline helps to avoid most of these problems.Democratization:  In cutting down the required workforce required to use machine learning, AutoML makes the platform available to a much wider user base.

The features of MLBox include the following.
