How will 5G affect mobile application development? (Part 2)

How will 5G impact mobile app development?

With the advent of 5G, mobile applications are not only more efficient, but also more suitable for integrating and using technologies such as augmented reality and virtual reality with maximum capabilities of them. 5G will allow developers to create a richer user experience, which is also a deciding factor for customers to use the app or delete it.

With the high speed and low latency that 5G networks provide, developers can provide customers with special experiences like video and gaming applications that will require less buffering time, which gives allowed the experience to be more engaging and faster.

The increased network speed and the ability to process more data will allow mobile app gamers to download game packages over the mobile network instead of being asked to download over a Wi-Fi network.

5G will allow developers to integrate other technologies into more efficient applications. Specifically, the app market is likely to see an increase in cloud-based applications. As the tasks we require smartphones to perform increasingly complex, the ability to create applications that can be used effectively in the cloud as a means of storing data will redefine how awake and when to use the application.

Basically, by bringing application data to the cloud, customers can access and run applications without having to install them on their devices. This means that the processing power and hardware of the device will not be affected by the application.

While it will take some time before customers, developers and businesses can fully enjoy the advantages of 5G, technology will play an integral role in helping developers meet meet customers’ needs.

As mobile applications continue to evolve, 4G technology cannot support the huge amount of data generated. In fact, 4G has shown signs of being overloaded, as many studies show that network speeds vary drastically based on the number of connected customers. If you’re currently using 4G network technology, 5G is an option worth exploring and exploring.

In support of next-generation mobile applications, 5G technology with a commitment to higher data rates, lower latency and increased connectivity will be the only way to deliver to customers. richer experiences.

For businesses, that helps maintain customers and increase revenue from mobile apps in the coming years. When 5G network deployment is promoted in markets, it will create favorable conditions for developing applications that need more data based on 5G networks.

Facebook is under pressue to follow Twitter’s ban

Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg are being ratcheted under pressure to follow suit with Twitter’s ban on political advertising. Democratic Presidential candidates request that Facebook should do it soon.

And on Wednesday following Twitter’s announcement, Zuckerberg doubled down on that stand, reiterating that Facebook is loath to interfere with it and claim the important of political speech.

During the 2016 in the U.S presidential campaign, Facebook, Twitter and other social platforms have come under fire over Russia’s use of such media sites to sow political division and spread misinformation. In recent weeks a long with the 2020 White House race, that debate has heated up again.

Twitter suggested that social media is so powerful which misleading or false messages pose a risk to democracy and it chose a ban on all political advertising to respond with.

The timing of the announcement seemed designed to goad Zuckerberg, It happened the same day with Facebook’s quarterly earnings report.

President of consultancy Creative Strategies Tim Bajarin said that the pressure on Facebook was going to be extremely strong to do something similar, and the criticism of Facebook would only increase if they don’t.

Facebook and Twitter already take steps verifying the identities of political advertisers prompted by the furor over Moscow’s interference to prevent political manipulation. But the verifying systems, that rely on both automated systems and humans, have not been perfect.

Facebook mistakenly took down Bush’s baked beans ads because the food company was not registered as a political advertiser with Facebook and they contained the word “Bush”. When they promoted news stories about important issues or candidates, some media organizations have also seen their ads which flagged for review.

And then there’s the question raised about individual posts from opinion makers or other politicians, which can carry be shared widely cointaing political messages even though they are not paid ads.

According to the California-based online social network, the tab will be separate from the trademark news feed at Facebook which displays content from people’s friends and updates.

Facebook has confirmed plans in a departure from its longstanding practice of letting algorithms dictate users’ experiences for a News Tab will be edited by seasoned journalists. A human team will select top relevant, reliable breaking news stories.

Google is committed to use recycled materials in its products

Google is commited to use recycled materials to produce all of its hardware products by 2022, including Pixel phones, Pixelbook, Google Home speakers, Nest and other accessories like back cover or charging dock.

All Pixel phones and Google Home speakers are under the brand ‘Made by Google’. This unit was started three years ago by the company, previously Google studied other hardware like Nexus. Now, Google is ready to make its products more sustainable.

In an interview with Fast Company, Google said it would create covers on Google Home and phone cases by plastic bottles and use recycled plastic in Chromecast devices.

The announcement comes immediately after Apple’s green initiative to use recycled materials in production, especially because they also produce an in-house robot that dismantles old hardware to get components. Earlier this year, Samsung made a similar commitment to using recycled materials to make packaging products.

According to the company, for the Pixel 4 series and the new generation of Google Home speakers, Google has decided to swap industry-standard polyester fabrics for recycled fabric.Google has also announced its Power Project, which will obviously deliver “one million energy-efficient Nest thermostats to families in need by 2023 and many Nest products that are made with recycled plastic after consumption.

Clearly, Google’s product group takes two years to ensure that new sustainable fabrics meet design and production requirements and suppliers can provide it at scale. Now, each unit of material will reuse a third of plastic bottles. That’s something we can see more often starting in 2022.

In addition, Google is committed to adding that all Google shipping will not emit carbon by 2020 to promote the sustainability of its hardware. The head of Google’s sustainable hardware division, Anna Meegan, said at the moment her team could reduce emissions by 40% by changing delivery methods from air transport to road or sea.

The technology company is also working on a recycling cooperation program so people can send old Google devices for recycle. The program is only implemented in the US.

The negative effects of social networks (Part 1)

Facebook or Twitter are making you move away from the real world, neglecting the goal of life, where people compete to get more “likes”… There are some disadvantages of using social networks:

  1. Reduce interaction between people

You pay too much attention to electronic devices and spend less time and attention to those present in your real life. This makes your life very frustrating. Finally, the people around won’t even want to hang out with you anymore.

  1. Increase the feeling of reaching attention

Posting vague, confusing states on Facebook to attract the attention of others is becoming an annoying habit of social network users. The competitive battle likes and announces that there will be no end.

  1. Ignore the real goals of life

It’s easy to summarize what’s happening on social networks, people will gradually neglect the real goals of life. Instead of trying to realize the dream by becoming a really talented person, young people tend to become stars on the Internet.

  1. There is a risk of depression

Due to a certain study, using social networks often can cause negative emotions, including fatigue and depression. Using social networks is particularly harmful to people with pre-existing depression. If you start feeling sad and pessimistic, you should stay away from social networks for a while.

  1. Using social networks affects the creative process

Surfing social networking sites will paralyze people’s minds, similar to watching unconscious television. If you’re planning to work today, turn off social networking applications.

  1. Easily broken love story

You should not be glued to the screen, continue to be jealous and pry. Social networking is an easy choice to publicize the relationship, but it is in fact ineffective. In fact, research shows that people who often use Facebook to track their other half lead to speculation, imagination, and ultimately broken romance.

Privacy is the primary goal of Facebook in the future (Part 2)

  1. Reduce time of the message

Snapchat is a pioneer in using self-destruct messages, and soon Facebook took advantage of this idea. The company can further develop this idea in the future, the content not only automatically disappears after a certain period of time, but users can also delete them more easily if desired.

  1. Safety

The Internet is not a really safe place, especially for children or sensitive people. So after all, adding encryption and reducing the lifetime of the data, though, they are specific and obvious steps that Facebook can take, but this makes Facebook safe.

The company can start by reducing negative interactions online (such as stoning, etc.) by adding tools to help users prevent people from targeting them. Reducing the lifetime of the content also helps in part.

There are clear benefits for both users and Facebook when this ecosystem becomes secure. Finally, if users feel that Facebook is safe, they will return and continue to use it more often.

  1. Link products

Earlier this year, Mark Zuckerberg described a world where you can text a person on Messenger and the recipient can receive messages through Instagram. This shows that Facebook wants to link all their products. The fact that messaging applications can work together plays a big role in this process.

Suppose you have a Facebook account, post photos on Instagram, message your friends on WhatsApp. If these applications link, you will not have to switch to reply to someone’s specific message on a given application. However, this plan is still quite vague.

  1. Database security

The encrypted data can still be hacked, but the goal is to ensure that the physical data is as secure as possible. With Facebook, this means being careful about where to store data. For example, Facebook cannot store data in countries where human rights policies have not developed enough or there is no freedom of speech.

This is really hard, not to mention that countries always have policy changes, so it will affect Facebook’s data center.

Privacy is the primary goal of Facebook in the future (Part 1)

Mark Zuckerberg made a statement during the Facebook F8 Conference 2019 emphasized that  privacy is the future. But in the past, when it came to privacy, Facebook really didn’t do well. So the company needs to go through a very long way to regain the trust of users.

Promoting privacy requires a great effort on Facebook and it seems impossible to do it one night. Not only that, Facebook emphasized that privacy is not only in the browser but also in Messenger, Instagram, Oculus and WhatsApp.

In other words, Facebook not only makes the browser more private, but also makes the message more private. In a speech at F8 2019, Mark presented six core details of this plan.

  1. Private interaction

Sometimes, you just want to keep interacting with friends and family and don’t want to share everything publicly. With the new Facebook, users can control sharing more private with one or more people. Private interactions are part of coding.

  1. Encryption

When it comes to texting, End-to-end encryption is very popular. This encoding has also appeared in WhatsApp application. However WhatsApp is not the only messaging service of Facebook, so if Facebook wants users to be able to text via any application to anyone, then adding End-to-end encryption to Messenger and Instagram Direct is very important.

Encrypting activities in other Facebook products is equally important. Information like the websites you visit, your location when using Facebook, … all should be encrypted.

Basically, encryption will ensure that no one can see the activities you want to keep private (including Facebook), except you. Currently, Facebook can see all the user activity performed in the company’s services, but once it has been coded, this will change.

Encryption is the only way to ensure that users do not need to worry about messages or other data on their phones being monitored by Facebook or a third party.

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg calls for strong internet regulation  

 Among fears over election advertisement and far-right increase, facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg says that governments could take a bigger role in putting more regulations on areas such as user privacy and election integrity.

The Facebook founder and chief executive emphasized that governments and regulators have to take “a more active role” as well as put stricter regulations on the internet and the social network. Zuckerberg said he believed stronger regulation should be implemented in four areas namely user privacy, election integrity, harmful content and data portability.

Mr. Zuckerberg believed that unless governments and regulators update the rules for the internet, we couldn’t make use of it and ensure the freedom of expression and business as well as protect society from expanding harms

Zuckerberg told that legislation was crucial to protect elections and it need to be updated. He also said that Facebook had already brought particular changes about political ads and it ensure the user’s benefits and freedoms.

Facebook has released that any advertisers in the EU will go through tighter checks due to the organization of European Union elections in May 2019. They need provide documents which confirm their identity and submit their location.

The company announced that all political advertisements with the sponsors on both Facebook and Instagram in the European Union must be obviously labelled.

The social network warned that it will block any advertisments without legal registration on mid-April.

Facebook will continually collaborate with experts  in reviewing its policies in terms of harmful content, but Zuckerberg stated they will make argueing decisions and mistakes. Also, Facebook was creating an independent atmosphere  to give people permissions to challenge its decisions.

Facebook boss added that the effective privacy and data protection required a “globally harmonised framework”, and together with the EU’s general data protection regulation (GDPR) they advocate more countries adopting rules.
