Working in space, working in my environment. Yesterday, I wrote about the first impression I had of the Apple Vision Pro, a more emotional impression than going into details. Today I want to focus on the second one, mainly focused on the details of the Vision Pro, and what they mean. It was the MacIntosh that ushered us into the personal computer era, developing a new way of interacting with it. Changed the cursor and direction arrows to the mouse and the position arrow on the screen. The green letters disappeared and instead we organized our desktop with folders and apps as if it were our office, which changed the way of working with computers to the point that all manufacturers copied and followed it. With the iPhone, it put computers and the activity we carried out with them i

The wave of massive layoffs that Big Tech is carrying out and that seems to be contagious, since we are not talking about one, but several of the largest, such as Google and Microsoft, which have been the last to join this terrible trend, it doesn’t seem to end. The first will lay off 12,000 employees, 6% of its workforce. The s

The Spanish Constitution of 1978 The Constitution is our Fundamental Law that gives shelter to all Spaniards. The Constitution is also used to attack the political adversary. The Law In the Preamble of our Fundamental Law, approved by referendum in 1978, the following is stated: The Spanish Nation, wishing to establish justice, liberty and security and to promote the good of those who comprise it, in exercise of its sovereignty, proclaims its will to: Guarantee democratic coexistence within the Constitution and the laws in accordance with a fair economic and social order. Consolidate a rule of law that ensures the rule of law as an expression of the popular will. Protect all Spaniards and peoples of Spain in the exercise of human rights, their cultures and traditi

Chatbots are in fashion, and they were born yesterday, so to speak. Today the whole world is seeing how to take advantage of this technology. The student believes that it will facilitate the preparation of school or college tasks. The reporter thinks that in a few minutes he will already have the base of his article. The groom is in the task of having the chatbots compose a poem to give it to the bride as if it were his, etc. Those who receive what is written will from now on have the arduous task of deciphering if what they are reading has a personal or Chatbotian authorship, because from the outset, we will all have doubts as to whether what we are reading is the result of Intelligence Natural, or artificial intelligence. The problem with new chatbots is not just that they are often

LEA SUZUKI / VIA GETTY IMAGES 10 years after its debut, the company finally gives up on its Google Glass In 2013, Google tried to get ahead of the augmented reality game with its Google Glass. Although first heralded as a technological milestone, the $1,500 price tag and privacy concerns made it a commercial flop. But despite some late success among medical professionals and first responders, the product never really reached the masses. Yesterday, Google officially announced the demise o

In my opinion, the Forbes Influencers List 2022 is a mix of apples and pears. The term influencer refers to a person with the ability to influence others, mainly through social networks. From here, compare the influence that Elon Musk can exert on issues such as mobility, neuroscience or the space race, with that that Kim Kardashian can exert on issues such as having a smooth complexion, or how to dress in the latest fashion, I think that this is a mistake, because the type of influence that the former exerts on society is not the same as that offered by the Kardashian on issues of less importance. This is why I feel obliged to establish differences between INFLUENCERS and “influencers”. For me, what is an INFLUENCER? Well, he is a person like Elon Musk or Mark Zuckerberg, a person to

It seems, according to the Financial Times, that Apple is working on the development of a new search engine, which would compete with Google Search. As is known, Google is the dominant company in this segment, as it is the search engine that works by default in most computer systems today, occupying a dominant position, and which provides most of the company’s income. . If what the Financial Times suggests is true, Apple would go on to place its own default search engine in its Safari browser and defend it to further protect user privacy, so that users, if they were to use “Apple Search” in Instead of “Google Search”, they would put Google out of business, losing billions of dollars in revenue. We could see

The newly installed Christmas tree in Kyiv’s Saint Sophia Square. EFE First of all, I want to wish a Merry Christmas to all the readers of Medium, congratulating those who manage it for their excellent initiative that gives a voice to all of us who have something constructive to say, something to contribute. At a time when communication is more mediated than ever, I want to ask these managers to preserve Medium from the danger that every day tries to mediate communication to manipulate public opinion, and that comes from the two most dangerous manipulative powers, which currently are political for spurious purposes, and economic, avoiding introducing manipulative advertising on Medium. When you see an ad on Texaco, one of the biggest contributors to global pollution, telling us t

When you go to the supermarket, do the shopping and look at the car, you see that you have bought a lot of various products that a priori belong to different brands, but if you look closely, in reality, who you have given your money to is not that manufacturer in particular, but rather the multinational that owns each of these brands, and it is that among only 10 big brands that group all the others, they control 90% of the agri-food market. Thus all our money remains in the cash register of one of those 10 companies. The business of these 10 large food multinationals consists of the acquisition of a large quantity of fresh products at low prices from producers in the primary sector, to later process or ultra-process them, package them, and put them on sale under an exclusive brand with a

Things are not going well on Netflix, Prime Video, HBO or Disney+. All the big companies in the world of streaming are in low hours, in what is a historic drop in profits that is calling into question even the business model itself. As described by Vulture, the streaming sector is going through its worst historical moment and, incidentally, it is conditioning the audiovisual industry itself. From Bloombe

DPA/PICTURE ALLIANCE VIA GETTY IMAGES The future of the Internet is happening, these days more than ever, through the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, because decisions are being made that will condition the future of the business that telecommunications networks support, and the distribution of the benefits that are generated, and in which everyone wants to have a share. It has become clear this Tuesday in the keynote by Greg Peters, recently appointed co-CEO of Netflix after the step back

Image: Ricardo Grovas Yesterday the Faro de Vigo editorial headlines that “Europe must rectify its unjustified veto on bottom fishing”, and this is how it should be, because the implementation of its Execution Act of the General Directorate of Fisheries of the European Commission it is a trope. The issue is splendidly exposed in said Editorial, which of course I support, but the background of this matter is not taken into account, which is in the ins and outs of interests that move “like a fish in water” through the ponds of Brussels, and the remoras (Lobbyists) that are attached to the big fish (senior officials) on which the decisions made about the oceans and seas dep

Let’s leave grandparents and their cell phones alone, on whom they have a strong dependence. An article published on his Blog by Enrique Dans under the title of “Technology and Durability”, in which he echoes another article published in The New York Times under the title of “A Smartphone That Lasts a Decade? Yes, It’s Possible«, raises in me some doubts and concerns on which I want to give my opinion. Both Enrique and the New York newspaper raise in their respective articles something that has to do with programmed and technological obsolescence, but that transcends the social sphere, and t

Credit: Xavi Torrent / Getty Images The GSMA, a global telecom employer and organizer of the Mobile World Congress 2023 that kicked off this Monday in Barcelona, has announced an initiative that seeks to universalize and standardize developer access to network programming. This is the GSMA Open Gateway, a framework based on open APIs — codes that facilitate and protocolize communication between two or more applications — which was created with the support of 21 operators. “The move represents a paradigm shift in the way the telecommunications industry designs and delivers services in the world of the API economy.” In reality, this GSMA Open Gateway is a global initiative of telecoms from around the world that have agreed to convert networks into digital service platforms with which de

Counterpoint Research has just published its list of the best-selling mobiles of last year, and for yet another year it is a list that is dominated by Apple, which places 8 of its mobiles in the top 10 best sellers. 2022 was a strange year for mobile phones. The end of the pandemic was not as expected, and the semiconductor crisis aggravated the problem, and that is that the numbers for the sa

Introduction I don’t know what or how many reasons it is due, but the world is becoming polarized, it is becoming ungovernable, it is becoming unlivable due to the tense and rarefied environment, and a solution must be found for this trend. This may be in a saying that is bullshit, but that makes sense and says: “the world is polarized. Who will depolarize it? The depolarized person who depolarizes it, will be a good depolarized person”. Well that’s it, we just need to find the best depolarizer. The tensions that polarization brings are spreading throughout the world. The economic ones and the leadership between China and the US, the fiscal ones between Europe and the US, the ideological ones, the religious ones, regional tensions such as those in the Maghreb, those in the Middle East, etc
