Never heard of it? No surprise. This revolutionary transportation method hasn't hit the streets yet, but when it does the concept of a plane being the fastest transportation method will be left in the dust! What exactly is the Hyperloop one? It is a train like vessel that speeds its passengers from one location to another faster than a plane! This was accomplished by creating a semi vacuum within a tub and adding magnetic levitating to the vessel to minimize friction and increase speed through the propulsion system. In recent months Hyperloop announced its pods to carry cargo and passengers. Plans show the pods being 28 foot made out of aluminum and carbon fiber. In May during the first successful full scale test of a hyperloop managed to reach speeds of 70mph in just over five seconds! Showing only a fraction of the 700mph estimated the pods will go once the system is up and running. Hyperloop One is planning an aggressive strategy to have 3 production systems up and running by 2021! For more information visit Hyperloop One's website at https://hyperloop-one.com/ .

If you live somewhere like America you probably can't go more than a couple days without hearing Alexa ordering someone's food or playing music throughout the house as an actor is accomplishing tasks. But have you ever really sat down and just looked at the the different features these amazing products actually have? Here are just a few of the uses often found in these products!
Do you wake up to a blaring alarm clock every morning? Then immediately begin multitasking. It can be difficult juggling your phone, toothbrush, and makeup when preparing for the day. Skip the hassle just ask “What is on my calendar today? Or ask for the traffic report, weather, or news without ever lifting a finger!
There are so many uses for these products all you have to do is ask. So, next time your running late or too comfy on the couch to move just tell your smart speaker what to do!

Have you ever thought "what if I could understand everyone around me?" I have. Just the other day I went to go get Boba at a nearby Vietnamese restaurant. Me being the curious person I am, wished I could understand what they were snickering about. Now there is a solution! The solution is BabelOn. A device that allows you to speak and understand anyone through language barriers. This LA based product was created by Marcy and Strath Hamilton when they noticed the increased demand of dubbing within the film industry. Their daughter Daisy has since grown it into what we see now. The BabelOn technology will revolutionize Ai and how the world overcomes language barriers. BabelOn will be a hardware and software platform that will be able to read and relay each persons individual voice. The platform will not only capture the words themselves, but shall also capture timber, emotion intent, and tone. With this BabelOn will translate between a multitude of languages. Initial targets for this technology mainly include the entertainment world. BabelOn has been working hand in hand with film studios dubbing sectors, as well as a senior scientist at NASA. They have received lots of interest from publications and video game companies. I look forward to seeing the bright future BabelOn has ahead!
