 COVID-19 reshaping our future




Pandemics have always shaped cities — Life after the COVID-19 outbreak will never be the same as before.
7.8 billion people are now generally limited to their homes, which means more than one-quarter of the world’s population is practicing social distancing, as governments impose restrictions on movement and social contact to contain the spread of the virus.
Despite a decline of such an unprecedented scale in almost all the survival fundamentals, humankind will still find the strength to recover.
For that foreseeing the post-pandemic world is vital in ensuring that we will change for the better, not for the worse.
I am pretty sure the measures that we are taking to save our lives will change how we live, work, worship, and play in the future, must of us are wondering which of the current adjustments will endure beyond the end of the pandemic, and what life might look like on the other side.

So what does life look like on the side?

COVID-19 will shape a new industrial era and fasten the digitalization of all services, including public services.
  1. Technology and Artificial Intelligence will be the new economic drivers
  2. Increase remote work as it reduces costs and pollution
  3. Meetings will become ever more remote
  4. Cryptocurrency comes back on the right track with serious measurements
  5. Lower demand for oil consumption
On the long term, artificial intelligence will replace most of the human intelligence.
For example, in the healthcare sectors, we will witness a revolution in the delivery of primary healthcare.
Digital technologies will become even more prominent, and we are likely to see a rise in the use of telemedicine as well as Artificial Intelligence testing.
Usually, a doctor examines a patient and prescribes treatment based on the clinical examinations and studies, and for sure according to his experience, now imagine after the pandemic, and due to the latest medical and technological inventions to help reduce the spread, the doctor will be replaced by a robot learning receiving and processing all patients information with their history and DNA that will most probably lead to a more reliable treatment.
Another similar example, banks have adopted AI solutions for
1) Lending portfolios
2) High-frequency trading solutions
And all the recent job cuts are in the customer service departments, which increases the unemployment level national wide, with a radical exception for technology and data scientists sectors.
What I am sure about is life won’t be the same after COVID-19, we’re not going back to the normal, Coronavirus is boosting toward Artificial Intelligence in the long run.

Lebanese Protesters Are Using This ‘Bridgefy’ Messaging App - What is it?

Bridgefy is an offline messaging app that lets you communicate with friends and family when you don't have access to the Internet, by simply turning on your Bluetooth antenna.

Facebook updates iOS app to fix issues that let the camera open in the background

The issues were first reported this month This month, some users of Facebook’s iOS app  found that  that, in at least two situations, the app appeared to be activating the camera in the background without a user’s knowledge. Facebook said yesterday that it was submitting fixes for the issues to Apple, and the company tells us that, as of this morning, the updated app is now available for download on the App Store. I’ve downloaded the update to my iPhone 11 Pro, and I can’t get the camera to accidentally activate in either of the scenarios that were reported — but I also couldn’t get it to activate yesterday, so I can’t personally confirm that the issues are fixed. But if we take Facebook at its word that everything is resolved, it’s nice to see that the company acted quickly.
