10 Disruptive Innovations that will evolve the World in 2021- Moving Forward

During the pandemic, tech industry reaped big resulting to dramatic technological upheavals. 5G, chatbots, cloud computing and edge computing were some of the tech applications that were on high demand in 2020. Therefore 2020 acted as a precursor of major innovation.
1. Autonomous Ride-Hailing: it is an application that determines the future of uber as it offers a menu of services to get people and services around. Self-driving vehicles were deployed in parts of the US, where vehicles picked and dropped passengers without a human driver.
2. Deep Learning, also referred as deep neural network, is a subset of machine learning in artificial intelligence (AI) that mimics the functioning of human brain in transforming data and developing patterns for decision making. Deep learning is essential in big data sourced from search engines, social media and e-commerce platforms among many others. The data is then shared through fintech applications such as cloud computing. Deep learning will be most sought because it is used in developing the next cohort of computer platforms. 
3. Virtual World refers to computer simulated environment that may be populated by many users who interact among themselves through personalized avatars. Most online video games fall under this category.
4. Digital wallets also referred as e-wallets refer to a software application that allows one party to make electronic transactions with another party battering digital currency entities for goods and services. Start-ups like Venmo and Cash App will likely overturn traditional banking. According to ARK, digital wallet users in US are surpassing traditional account holders in financial institutions.
5. Automation: Refers to the processes that curtail human involvement in production processes. It is a technique where a system operates automatically. It is an application that makes work easier.
6. Bitcoin Nitty-gritties: Bitcoin is a virtual currency that uses peer-to-peer technology to enable prompt payments. As bitcoin value hits a record-high, research indicates that it will be adopted by most investors.
7. Electric Vehicles (EVs): These are vehicles that have an electric motor instead of an internal combustion engine. As the world progresses towards achieving zero-carbon emissions, EVs are the best alternative to reducing the consumption of fossil fuels. Firms like Tesla are committed to manufacture electric cars to reduce the carbon burden.
8. Delivery Drones: A delivery drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle used to transport packages, food, medical supplies and other goods. Drones can be remotely piloted or self-directed. 
9. Orbital Aerospace: Aeronautic engineers and developers are seeking to manufacture high speed air craft that will revolutionize the flight industry.
10. 3D Printing: Refers to the construction of a 3 dimensional object either from CAD prototype or a digital 3D model.

How Human Noise Kills Marine Species, as revealed by Scientists

Scientists have warned that the discord of noise made by humans is harming marine species .  A comprehensive assessment revealed that large noise from human activities was as harmful as pollution, overfishing and climate change .  The study that was conducted by the Journal Science exposed how marine animals can hear from far distances than they can see or smell. According to a report published in the Guardian, most of the marine life uses sound to catch prey as well as attracting a mating partner.  Prof Carlos Duarte of King Abdullah University in Saudi Arabia argued that: “Marine animal can only sea up to around 10 meters, smell up to around a hundred meters, but they can hear across the entire ocean basins.” The research concluded that sound “is very important in the marine ecosystems, and noise is pervasive, affecting animals at all levels .” The increasing cacophony in the marine habitat is interfering with how marine animals respond to various survival...

Carbon dioxide to Make Jet Fuel, Study Reveals

Photo Source: twitter.com Aircrafts release a lot of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which contributes to climate change. A research that was conducted by Science News and reported on December, 22 2020 stated that there was a new iron-based catalyst that has been invented to convert carbon dioxide into jet fuel. It is only a matter of time that carbon dioxide pumped to the atmosphere by planes could be sucked and used to power the same. The air travel’s footprint in carbon emissions could be tremendously curtailed, if the carbon dioxide that is released is recycled to generate fuel. As per Science News reports, Air transport contributes to about 12 percent of the entire transportation carbon-related emissions. Unlike cars, aircrafts cannot carry bigger batteries which can be run on electricity generated from wind or solar panels. The current breakthrough in the conversion of carbon dioxide to fuel involves cheap ingredients such as iron and transformed through a single s...

Why Mt Kenya Leaders are wary about Change of Guard

As 2022 succession battle gains momentum in Kenya, leaders drawn from Mt Kenya region have become more concerned of their political future and survival. Mt Kenya region is predominantly occupied by the agikuyu, ameru and aembu communities. The region has produced three out of the four presidents. It boosts about the tyranny of numbers, thus making the region a battle ground for leaders from other region seeking to succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta.  Central alone produced Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, Mwai Kibaki and Uhuru Kenyatta as presidents. The only other Kenyan president drawn out of the region was Daniel Arap Moi. In the recent past, the region has gone against the tide of State operatives as a sign of revolt over what they term as negligence from the government, despite electing one of their own to the much coveted seat.  Deputy President William Ruto has taken advantage of the brewing rebellion through making serious political forays in Central and its vicinity. ODM leader Rail...
