Bye, Blackberry! You were really the first smartphone and that “give me your PIN” was a legend of human communication.
These are the top tech news of the week in America.
1. Blackberry, “PIN out”
In a few years, linguists will study why, towards the first decade of the 21st century, the phrase began to be coined “give me your PIN”. The PIN was a status symbol, from having gone from having a cell phone with which one hardly called, SMS were received and you could play “little shit” to owning one that was a computer itself.
The PIN was the entry code to a cult, that of those who had a Blackberry in their hands, a phone so out of its category that it created a new era in telecommunications: their own, which would later give way to the rest. smartphones.
For that era, whose decline was already consummated, ended this week, when BlackBerry with operating systems 7.1, 10 or PlayBook OS 2.1 stopped working, or even the previous ones by decision of the Canadian company, which became a software manufacturer.
¡Chao, Blackberry! You were really the first smartphone and that “give me your PIN” was a legend of human communication.
2. An increasingly fat apple
While some once-giant companies are suffering the final effects of chiquitolin ingestion, others are just expanding.
This is the case of Apple, which at the beginning of this week reached a price of 3 billion dollars on the stock market during the first session of the year on Wall Street.
The firm founded by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak in 1976 reached this value after briefly exceeding $ 182.86 per share, which means that the bitten apple has tripled its size on the stock market in less than four years.
3. Tesla, rolling everywhere
They say that money calls money and that seems to happen to South African billionaire Elon Musk, that every day he sees how each of his companies gives him more and better dividends.
Tesla, whose board members freeze like early-year snowfall every time Musk tweets, announced that in 2021 it delivered more than 936,000 vehicles, an increase of 87% over the previous year.
In the last three months of last year, 308,000 vehicles were delivered, breaking the quarterly record previously reached in the third quarter of 2021, with 241,000 cars, with a combination of distribution of the high-end models Model S and X and the more accessible like Model Y and 3.
And do you already have your Tesla?
4. Now even tractors drive themselves
We should not be surprised by anything in terms of technology. There are already self-driving cars, smart vacuum cleaners that measure the area to be cleaned, and refrigerators that report the status of the food inside.
But amid the surprising novelties that are always at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), the appearance of a tractor that works alone stands out.
Its about John Deere model 8R, which can be controlled by the farmer from an application on his cell phone, from which they will receive a video signal in real time and data on the conditions of the land and plantations.
So don’t be surprised if one day you see a few tractors walking alone through the plantations without anyone driving them.
5. “Glued” to television
Didn’t they tell you when you were little “Don’t watch television so closely that you’re going to go blind?” Well, with this technological innovation, TV will no longer be there in front of your eyes.
TCL launched at CES 2022 the NXTWear Air, a model of glasses with which you can watch live television and video on demand, and whose design is very similar to the traditional Ray-Ban.
According to Cnet.com, TCL’s NXTWear Air can be connected to virtually any device and function as an external monitor, ideal for working or viewing multimedia content while relaxing on the couch.
It is not yet known how much these beauties are worth for lovers of the “small screen”, but it is possible that TCL will announce the amount to come out of the pockets before the next Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, which will be from February 28 to March 3.
6. Happy New Year, Happy Kings and more videogames for everyone !!!
It has already touched 12, they drank the champagne, they ate the grapes, 2022 arrived, the Kings arrived with their gifts and online video game stores continue to remember their avid customers.
According to SomosXbox.com, Epic Games Store will launch two titles thanks to its Prime Gaming program.
Is about “Total War: Warhammer”, de The Creative Assembly y Feral Interactive, y “World War Z: Aftermath”, of Saber Interactive.
To enjoy these benefits, you must be subscribed to Prime Gaming for the modest sum of $ 12.99. It is not much for the amount of fun it offers.
7. Brasil le da una “olhadinha” al 5G
Everyone is excited about the arrival of the 5G technology (except those who think it is responsible for the spread of covid-19), but What if it interferes with aviation security?
Brazil wants to take a look at this issue and the aircraft manufacturer Embraer will be in charge of studying its effects.
The alarms went off in the South American giant after AT&T and Verizon were asked in the US for a maximum extension of two weeks for the activation of the 5G network following concerns expressed by Boeing and Airbus.
The good is always waiting. And if apart from good it is safe, then better. (I)
