Resources for Keeping Current on Emerging Technology
Technology has revolutionized how we live and operate our day to day lives. This explosion of tech has allowed us to become significantly more efficient in accomplishing everyday tasks from organizing meetings, to navigating somewhere you have never been. With so much development happening in this remarkable sector one tends to think; Is there a place we can go to where we can learn more about upcoming developments in tech? Luckily there are many outlets that cater to this very topic, but for practicality I will present to you the top 5 best media platforms to learn about new and upcoming tech news.
CNET: www.cnet.com
Is a fantastic media platform that tells you what's new in tech, culture and science, and why it matters, how it works and what you need. CNET delivers news, commentary, analysis, features, FAQs, advice, hands-on reviews, buying guides, fantastic photography and informative videos. CNET encourages their audience to report back if they find an error, spot a gap in coverage, or want more questions answered or have suggestions for how they can improve.
A piece of emerging tech I discovered on CNET recently was a company that makes a license plate reader has announced a national network for law enforcement to follow car movements. It's already in more than 700 cities. The network looks to connect law enforcement agencies using its cameras, allowing agencies that opt into the program to view camera data from other regions.

Popular Mechanics : www.popularmechanics.com/technology
Popular Mechanics has been around since 1902! Providing their readers with detailed breakdown on how everything in the world and outside the world works. Popular Mechanics delivers the latest news on innovations and inventions across the automotive, DIY, science, technology, and outdoor spaces. They also serve their readers with the knowledge they need to get the most out of life, whether that's how to change a tire, how to build a farmhouse table, how to find your lost phone, or how to hike the Appalachian Trail. What sets Popular Mechanics apart from the others is they really embrace being curious about the world around you, and getting your hands dirty along the way.
Something I learned from PM was an article that highlighted that Neural Networks in AI DO in fact require a rest period just as we humans require sleep. According to new research from the Los Alamos National Laboratory, neural nets might actually need that shuteye—or at least a machine's version of it. Because neural net simulations can become unstable after prolonged periods of unsupervised learning—the processing time during which the system looks for patterns in a dataset—Watkins and her team posited that a digital kind of "nap" could return the system to stasis.
TED Talks: www.ted.com
TED is a nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or less). TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged, and today covers almost all topics — from science to business to global issues — in more than 100 languages. Meanwhile, independently run TEDx events help share ideas in communities around the world.
In this powerful talk, that could change your perception of tech and the world around us, designer and artist Jiabao Li introduces her conceptual projects that expose the inherent bias of digital media. From a helmet that makes you "allergic" to the color red to a browser plug-in that filters the internet in an unexpected way, Li's creations uncover how technology mediates the way we perceive reality.
