Life is sometimes boring. In moments when you run out of ideas for what to do, a pointless game that is just for fun will come in handy.
What comes to mind when you think of an online search engine? Probably on Google. The latter, although there are a large number of variants available to Internet users, has established itself as a synonym for a search engine.
Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google, unveiled the new Google Duplex tool at the company's annual technology conference in San Francisco. What interesting has the technology giant prepared for us this time?
While Apple has announced a new version of the iPad tablet, Google is not resting on its laurels. Together with Acer, they launched the first Choomebook tablet, with which they want to oppose their competitor. And this just a day before the official presentation of the new iPad...
Tech giants Apple and Google are no longer as well received as they were in previous years. According to Harris Poll's annual Reputation Quotient survey, both companies that usually ranked in the top 10 have now experienced a drastic decline.
Many moments that we want to capture in the camera slip away. A child's play in the living room, a visit to the zoo, a carnival, all these events happen extremely quickly and it is difficult to capture everything with the eye, let alone with the lens. Google has developed a mini camera that can solve these problems.
The era of selfies is firmly rooted in modern history, and maybe even our children will learn about it in schools.

Now that we have a phone full of them, we can use them for another fun thing or app.

Maybe it all seems a little schizophrenic? Is our own phone secretly recording us? Well, 'that he occasionally calls from his pocket', we know that, but there is nothing schizophrenic here, because we forget to lock the keyboard. What about the information that the biggest corporations have all the information about us and our lives and can easily get it from social media?
If we look at the desktop of the average user's smartphone, the first thing we probably see is a flood of icons that are nothing more than applications. A few social networks, some kind of game, an online newspaper and maybe sports results and the phone is already pretty full. But applications eat up data, you've probably already figured that out yourself. What if we had a kind of 'watchdog' that would prevent excessive data consumption?
Do you remember the old, usually action movie, where the agent has invisible headphones in his ears, and someone from the central office helps him to simultaneously answer questions that the agent cannot do by himself? If nothing else, every one of us could use it in school at some point. Well, something similar is being marketed by Google. Emphasis on "similar"!
