5 Sectors Blockchain Is Disrupting That Are Not Cryptocurrency
There's a vast plentitude of industries that blockchain will disrupt, (like real estate, investment strategies, and hell maybe even education), but how will this effect our lives? What kind of changes can we even expect to see, or will we even see? That's the whole point behind narrowing done the 5 sectors that blockchain is disrupting that are not cryptocurrency. We can't expect to know what the future will hold without already feigning to see the obstacles in front of us right now.

Most Inaccurate Science Fiction Movie Sounds
The one thing separating science fiction from all other genres is the way it has monopolized the utilization of unique and otherworldly sounds to benefit any particular setting, theme, character, or premise in a movie. This is why sci-fi is simultaneously hated and loved, for it draws upon the inner depths of everyone's imaginations, yet still tends to drive an axe through the laws of both physics and relativity. How accurate are modern sci-fi sounds? Well, given that there's literally no sound in space, I'd say slim to none in terms of having any realistic qualities. You'd think, for a place most often deemed a vacuum, that it would be obnoxiously loud up there, but that's not the case, and neither are the following inaccurate science fiction movie sounds.

Ways Augmented Reality Is Shaping the Future
What is augmented reality? It's a revolutionary new form of technology, quite similar to virtual reality, but different only for not being present within the screen. AR and VR technologies are greatly being advanced and sophisticated more and more. Since the evolution of Pokémon GO and the arrival of Apple's ARkit, this new type of viewership and experience of the world around us has dramatically changed our environment. This is among ways augmented reality is shaping the future, by completely revamping the very landscape placed before us, giving us whole new feats to reach.

How To Create a Tech Podcast That People Actually Want to Listen To
Though I'd typically say there's enough of them out there, quite frankly it has become clear to me that most people can't get enough of them, which is why you'll need to know how to create a tech podcast (it's easier than you may think). Despite what you might think, the more difficult concept under podcasting is not the actual work of it or making it, but the overall listening base that comes after. If you're new to the world of podcasting in general and don't exactly know the ends or outs of the entire business (which, it is, more or less, a business), then I'd look to something else, unless you're more than willing to take a dive into the literal unknown of this educational, web-based phenomena.

Best Books on Robotics
When science fiction blurs with modern technology, that's when you receive the keys to the future; something as worthwhile and as revolutionary as the lightbulb and electricity itself: robotics. The next step in our technological evolution will be the enhancements in artificial intelligence, of course, but robotics in of itself seems to be completely ignored by many, mainly for its slow decline in popularity, when the realities behind super-intelligent robotics are slim to none.

What Is BitPay?
There is so much to know about cryptology and cryptocurrencies that all the info and contexts can get all get bogged down in a number of confusing, big words. Simply put, BitPay is nothing more than a global bitcoin payment service provider that utilizes bitcoins in the exchange processes for merchants, bridging the real world of commercial goods with the digital reality of cryptocurrencies. In that case, you should probably know the brand name business that accept bitcoin before you sign up for BitPay.

How Blockchain Can Reduce Global Poverty
Blockchain technology is a versatile piece of technological wonder not only capable of reducing poverty itself to historical connotations, but also permitting a wide berth of interesting and advancing elements for everyday productivity. As you can see, the applications of blockchain outside of financial services are innumerable and can be used in such a way that benefit poverty-stricken countries, as well as promoting a more fundamental system for relief programs, or other forms of financial assistance outside of the norm.

Most Evil Movie Computers
...If they haven't already! After all, everyone is just in a simulation, right? We may not think of an intangible technological object, like the computer system, as something capable of preforming immoral activities, but I'd beg to differ. While computers may have literally advanced our species into the next realm of scientific possibilities, we still continue this yearning for major breakthroughs in engineering supercomputers and quantum computer technology, and it remains to be seen whether the impact of artificial intelligence within machines would operate effectively, if anything even morally. As usual, Hollywood has depicted a pretty bad track record of fictionalized advanced mechanics. According to them, the best ways to mitigate computer risks and infections is to create even more than you already had to start with.

Applications of Blockchain Outside of Financial Services
While it may thus far be a record breaking tool in the world of digital currencies and online exchange platforms, but blockchain could fundamentally alter the world in a variety of aspects. This technology can greatly benefit a range of concepts, not solely based on economics, banking, or finance in general. These capabilities can range in verifying online identities, to industry enhancing features of data encryption. The most avid tools for remaining informed on leading tech and blockchain realities, is through these blockchain influencers; these individuals either helped build the foundation of blockchain in its early stages, or were there to upgrade the underlying technology, for which eventually made cryptocurrencies into cultural edifices.

How the End of Net Neutrality Will Change the Internet
Mostly stringent upon the financial and monopolistic areas of the internet, net neutrality’s downfall deals primarily with the way internet service providers (ISPs) will be granting access, most likely with higher payment costs. What you need to know about net neutrality, as an individual idea, is that it stands for a cross-internet equality based system making ISPs treat any and all digital content without added privileges or specific surcharges. All of this will no sooner be changed thanks to a December vote made by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which moved to repeal all access provisions granted by ISPs.

Things More Dangerous to Humanity than A.I.
The problem with Hollywood's A.I. is that there's no true danger or real substance to the given reality, or on-screen humanity. In all actuality, when and if the time comes where artificial intelligence (or even super intelligence) has been deemed a reality, and/or then becoming a danger to our survival, humanity as we know it is one hundred percent far gone. You don't need Stephen Hawking or Elon Musk to tell you this, it's a simple differentiability made between that of autonomous thinking and our own complex subservience to it. Simply look at how human beings are so ever-involved in the creation of driverless cars, or examine China's integration of A.I. into nuclear submarines. Artificial intelligence has taken the world by storm, and if you don't think there's only a tiny bit of danger to this, than you're sadly mistaken, but is it all that dangerous when compared to the likes of ecological disasters and, simply put, space?
