Major events like the Olympics can boost a country and city’s tourism considerably. However, it can also create problems such as traffic congestion due to the fact that there are now more people in an area than normal. However, the good news for those planning to go to the 2024 Olympic games in Paris, how does the idea of a flying taxi sound?
This is because during the Paris Air Show, Aeroports de Paris (ADP), Airbus and the RATP regional transport have proposed the idea of using flying taxis to take visitors from the Charles de Gaulle Airport to the city. This isn’t to say that it is a guarantee that it will happen as there will be several hurdles that need to be overcome.
For example, the groups will need to ensure that these taxis are safe enough to fly from the airport to the city and also if they have enough battery for them to fly to their destinations. It also needs to be compliant with existing regulations and also infrastructure. However, given that we’re about 5 years away from the 2024 Olympics, we suppose that does give these organizations enough time to sort this out.
Whether or not it will be successful remains to be seen, but the concept of flying taxis aren’t new and where companies such as Uber envision it become a reality in the next 5-10 years.

We all learn in different ways, some are visual learners, some are more book learners, some are naturally gifted, while others might take longer to understand a concept. This is why teachers have such a hard job because what they try to teach their students might not necessarily be understood by all of them.
This is where AI might come in handy, where according to work done by researchers at Dartmouth College, they have developed a machine learning algorithm that can measure activity across your brain that can show how well your brain understands a certain concept. This can be immensely useful for teachers and educators who can then try to tweak lessons and improve on them to ensure that students can understand the concepts better.
While this sounds exciting, don’t expect to see brain scanners in schools anytime soon. This is because the research is still in the early stages and is only focused more on STEM learning. This means that it is unclear how our brain scans might be different from learning one subject to another, especially if they are different topics like art and science.
In any case, it does sound like an interesting and exciting prospect and shows some potential of how tech can help improve our education system.

When Google announced Duo and Allo a few years ago, the differences between both apps is that one app was designed to be a messaging app (Allo), while the other was meant to be a video calling app (Duo). Google has since shut Allo down but it seems that the company could be slowly incorporating some messaging features into Duo.
This is according to a report from 9to5Google in which they have discovered that in an upcoming update to the app, users will soon be able to send photos to each other. However, it won’t be the same as regular messaging apps. Instead, based on their findings, it appears that the photo sending feature for Duo will be similar to Snapchat, where users can send individual messages that can only be viewed for the next 24 hours.
Typically, messaging apps already allow users to send and receive photos but since Duo is pretty much focused on video calls, it’s not surprising that this was not a feature. However, as we said, Google has since shut Allo down and with Hangouts seemingly more focused towards enterprise users, we suppose it makes sense that Google will want to bring some messaging-like features to Duo.
However, we should mention that there is a catch. The photos sent cannot be sent directly in Duo. Instead, users will only be able to send photos via the share feature inside of Google Photos and Files. It does seem like an odd way to send photos, but the option is there if you want to take advantage of it.

We’ve seen all sorts of party tricks OEMs have used to have a more or less completely bezel-less screen. Those ranged from popup cameras to notches to punch-holes to dual screens front and back. ASUS’ interpretation probably takes the cake for having one that flips the back camera up to face forward. It turns out, however, that the ZenFone 6 … Continue reading
