 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.

Google can now help you figure out that song stuck in your head - all you have to do is hum (or whistle) into your phone

  Google just launched its “hum to search” feature, which allows users to hum, whistle, or sing for 10–15 seconds in order to identify a song. The feature currently works in 20 languages, and Google hopes to add more. Google has finally launched the perfect feature for when a song is stuck in your head but you don’t know any of the words. “Hum to search” launched today on both the Google app for iOS and Android, according to Google’s blog, The Keyword. Users can also whistle or sing directly into the mic to identify a song. The technology works like this: the user can hum (whistle, or sing) for 10–15 seconds, and then Google’s technology takes the song’s melody and turns it into a numbers-based sequence. From there, the sequence can be used to “identify songs based on a variety of sources, including humans singing, whistling or humming, as well as studio recordings,” according to Google’s announcement. The sequence also strips away any other outside noise, like accompanying instru...

Ransomware's Dangerous New Trick Is Double-Encrypting Your Data

  Ransomware groups have always taken a more-is-more approach . If a victim pays a ransom and then goes back to business as usual-hit them again. Or don’t just encrypt a target’s systems; steal their data first, so you can threaten to leak it if they don’t pay up. The latest escalation? Ransomware hackers who encrypt a victim’s data twice at the same time. Double-encryption attacks have happened before, usually stemming from two separate ransomware gangs compromising the same victim at the same time. But antivirus company Emsisoft says it is aware of dozens of incidents in which the same actor or group intentionally layers two types of ransomware on top of each other. “The groups are constantly trying to work out which strategies are best , which net them the most money for the least amount of effort,” says Emsisoft threat analyst Brett Callow. “So in this approach you have a single actor deploying two types of ransomware. The victim decrypts their data and discovers it’s not act...
