Architecture & Technology

Author: Nicole Bustos

Source: https://architizer.com/blog/arch-tech/

Synthesis: It’s not a secret that architecture and technology go hand in hand,

this two are changing the world in different ways. The world of computational design means architects are chasing or pursuing new frontiers where architecture can be generated through algorithms and software programs, where interactive physical mechanisms can be built that respond to their environment, adapting and evolving as necessary, with the evolution of new technology architecture has evolved to a great extend, such as interactive and responsive architecture, digital fabrication, digital sketchbook, wizards of weather, this for knowledge, Approaching zero, Sculptural Skins, The Engineering Of Art, and so many more.  

Opinion: Technology is changing architecture, a deluge of stunning structures would be impossible without the profession’s ever-expanding suite of software. Whether architects are conceiving everyday homes and offices or the headline-making architecture of blobs and crystals, technology acts as buildings’ backbones long before (and long after) the first cornerstone is laid.

Creative professionals across a variety of disciplines are discovering new possibilities through new digital tools. In my opinion I think that technology has made a huge impact in architecture, if you see it now days the world revolve around digital sources and of course in the XXI century can be called as the digital era.

Before is too late

Climate change exists, if we want to effectively fight this must begin by knowing that the majority of our economy relies on fossil fuels such as coal or oil and natural gas. All our modes of transport, ships, trains, planes, cars, the way in which we produce food, how we build cities, almost all releases of carbon dioxide, and that leads to climate change. The layers of polar ice will melt, the oceans will begin to grow, there will be more dangerous weather patterns, floods, droughts, fires, this may seem unrealistic, but just now it is happening mainly in China, in this country, it surpassed United States as polluting number one in the world, here with the passage of time has undergone a massive industrialization and urbanization. This is the factory of the world, manufactured for all Western countries and much of this contamination is opening up. China's Government changed its plan to renewable energy, here is one of the company's wind and solar, largest in the world, although there are a few challenges as large population gives priority to the wind and solar to coal, if could China, you can do also, and the rest of the world too. China still depends on fossil fuels but they seem to be in the transition from a renewable much faster than anticipated. Can less developed countries with a high population do the same transition? Countries such as Denmark, Sweden, Spain and Italy have almost all the production of wind energy and solar to help the planet, also companies such as TESLA worked on solar energy, which after a few years would be one of the largest companies that generate renewable energy.  

Opinion: Now no one can tell that we were not warned. We can not justify our lack of action with simple ignorance. A massive change is required then one that will lead to new collective consciousness, a new collective of the human race evolution inspired and enabled by a sense of urgency to all of us, is time to declare no more talk, no more excuses, not to allow the fossil fuel companies already manipulate and manage political sciences that affect our future.  

Suggestion: Maybe this suggestion sounds utopian or something like that, but since our damage comes from mainly oil, it could be goog to give carbon a tax, cause when you record something you rise the price and people come to consume less, think that it is not too late to change that countries like China, United States, and also Colombia are changing their ecological plan but if a country can why not you.

Netflix wants to be "Out of Limits" 

Netflix has gotten a really good rival of TV operations, this incredible web plataform has gotten to far to make them 90 millions of users happy. Well the last November Netflix led that the users could download the movies and series to see them out of line, or without connection to Internet, in devices based on IOS and Android (across the Netflix app). It means that now you can go down several hours of content when the access has no to connection of WI-Fi of good speed, it then out of line. In a connection of 10 Mbps, one you download series of 50 minutes it takes approximately 3 minutes, and a movie of 2 hours is late approximately seven minutes. Not the whole content can be downloaded, but the variety is wide. Between available series different are on which we recommend in our central article, as Stranger Things, The Crown, The Affair, Shooter, Marcella, Black Mirror, Marco Polo, Outlander and Billions, besides other series very popular like, House of Cards, Narcos, The Good Wife, Breaking Bad, Mad Men, Downtown Abbey, Bloodline and Better Call Saul. In between movies there are several good ones like: The Others, Back to the Future, Pulp Fiction, The Schindler list, Taxi Driver, Inglorius Basterds, Trainspotting, Lion, the professional and Vertigo. When you pay for Netflix there is an option that just two people can in one screen that mean that not over three people, Netflix has changed that now if you want more screens you have to pay 29 Colombian pesos monthly, it's really expensive though but ENTER.CO suscribe for one month in FOX channels and you cannot start a serie from the begging something that Netflix has. 

My opinion about this article is that I really love Netflix cause honestly I spend a lot of time on it, they are really good movies and really good series to watch, but then its the reality of the money I personally pay my own Netflix and I think its very expensive but it's worth it, I have had Netflix for a couple of years and the service is going downhill. They are lagging behind their competitors. Whenever they add so called new shows they are a few seasons behind. They are good for saying something is a new release but they have only changed the cover picture for certain TV shows. It's the same old stuff available to watch. Recently they have been good about adding new shows that are very interesting and good Netflix originals but everything is in another language.

I highly recommend Netflix, I now its a little bit expensive but there are good stuff there for you to watch, so go I pay Netflix now you will become an addictive I am sure, also remember that its with  credit card that you have to pay and if you don't pay for a month your service will fall down, remember to pay and enjoy you watch.

The revolution of the Cloud

The cloud is one of those words that are heard in the organizations. And though recently it has received more relevancy, the technology cloud goes a lot of time on the market. Nevertheless, now, with the lowest costs, the connections to Internet are faster, it has felt that the world was mounting technological infrastructures of a company in the cloud.

What is the cloud? In practical terms, the cloud is a concept that is generated when a supplier gives services of technological infrastructure to a client. There are many reasons to contract this service instead of doing a capital investment in equipments.

First, the business must focus in it fort. We devote ourselves to write and try to invest the resources of the best way to write better. To it be able to contract the technological services, we can focus in the critical functions of our business. Another benefit, the suppliers of the cloud always are going to have equipments of the most recent generation. If a servant buys a company and mounts in it facilities, surely it will remain obsolete in a couple of years. On the other hand, the suppliers of cloud always have equipments of top, since they have to be at par of the competition. This guarantees a quality of the service that difficultly you might answer with an own infrastructure without investing(inverting) big quantities of money.

In addition to the latest technology, the cloud gives you flexibility business, that needs of TI. Let's say that are throwing the last wonder technology in two days. The same can pass in another type of company. Say that an entrepreneur rode a business and started to grow rapidly. If you have a server within your office, you have to go out to buy more machines to meet the entire demand. It's hard, in time and money. To have everything mounted on the cloud, it could simply login to your control panel and order more licenses of Office 365 and another virtual server for the new jobs. Also, if the business requires more resources technological, easily can increase your plan and count with a machine with best specifications, it’s the flexibility that offers them services in the cloud allows that the charge of you of an organization or of a business can adjust them resources according to the needs. The savings that this implies is important. With an internal solution, this is impossible, in the case of clear Cloud, the solution comes packaged with eight different services. First virtual servers, are supported by these same and virtual data centers. Also offers the possibility of having a web page, as well as licenses of Office 365 (package of productivity which includes Word, Excel and PowerPoint) and web conferences between companies. Finally, it offers a solution to computer security for businesses and support for the Organization's most critical data online.

From a financial point of view, a service in the cloud is a monthly spending, while buy servers, adapt the space and assemble a data center is a capital expenditure. An investment of capital impacts the flow of box of a company's way more sharp that an expenditure monthly. That is another of those benefits that offers a service as clear Cloud. Just like any other service, with a monthly bill payment, all these reasons should clarify the panorama on the important decision to implement technology services. The cloud became a revolutionary concept because it really changed the way of doing business in modern enterprises.

In my opinion I have taken many years of using iCloud that is only for technologies of the company of Apple but to the read of this article I have to break my barriers,  I had not idea that there existed a Claro Cloud where you can save very important documents and to tell my family on this, to have an income monthly more low. This technology has changed me in economic modes because Apple do removes me GB and Claro Cloud does not and be able to upload everything to the cloud and not spend my cell data, this service is the best in order to have privacy and space in your technological gadget.

Instagram

Instagram has created a new way for looking at user stories, in the left-up part of the tab “ Explore” will appear to some users a bar with recommended Stories, according to a report of TechCrunch.

In this couple of weeks since the stories of Instagram has been released there are several features that many users asked Snapchat (a social network that also includes stories of users), accounts, recommendations, allowing by algorithms an addictive platform, depending on the accounts you follow and the topics that interest you, this system will give you recommendations for making easy the task of finding new people to include in the stories section.
These suggestions have a focus of too much attention, since the tab “Explore” is extremely popular. 100 million people visit daily this tab, with a figure that represents one-fifth of the 500 million monthly users of Instagram, and one-third of the daily active users, to find new accounts is pretty important, especially after 6 years since the network was launched. 
However the stories of Instagram they have a platform very much to fix or to improve; the downloads are slow and are not make correctly, and also it does not have the possibility of colorful letters, lenes or "geofiltros" as in Snapchat, even so the users of Instagram are happy about the result because it's much easier to see Stories.
In my opinion Instagram is very similar to Snapchat and thousands of people in the world have the possibility to use both, otherwise I don't have the opportunity at this time, although I was able to handle these for a long time I found it very useful to be able to follow and stay abreast of people or things that I like, I think these new stories in Instagram are useful in the sense that I only need one application to be able to see stories as Snapchat and this are basically the same although they have their differences, this could improve the percentage of people which use the two applications, and will improve the feed of these.
