Using Technology To Transfer The Way You Manage Money

June 14, 2018 by Gregory

Money is important and essential for living. Unfortunately, not everyone is like Bill Gates, and has billions of dollars to spend. This is why it is important to budget, and manage your money efficiently.

Moneyfarm’s infographic on the wealthiest people in history shows the many different ways that people of inspiration like Bill Gates, and Oprah have built their wealth and success.

See what you can learn from some of the wealthiest people in history from past to present and in what ways they spent and managed their earnings.

If you’re interested in learning more about how you can manage your money like the icons in Moneyfarm’s infographic and in what ways you take advantage of technology in relation to your money, simply continue reading to discover 4 tips on how to harness the power of technology in order to positively affect your savings!

Using technology to transform the way you manage money:

  1. You can set up automatic payments within minutes, with little hassle

As an example, if you want to ensure that you save a reasonable portion of your income, you can set up your primary bank account to transfer a set amount of money to your long-term savings account. Which will make it far easier for you to save a portion of your income, which you can then choose to invest if you’re not happy with the interest rate which your bank currently offers you.

  1. You can use an app on your phone in order to quickly and effortlessly transfer money to your friends and family members

As an example, if you go out for dinner with friends and the restaurant asks your group to pay your bill as a single bill, you’ll easily be able to transfer your portion of the cost to your friend’s chosen bank account using your chosen bank’s app on your smartphone. Which means that you’ll never have to walk to an ATM in order to get out cash, in order to pay a friend back for money which they’ve spent on you, ever again.

  1. You can use Paypal in order to pay for any goods and services which your purchase online

If you ever feel comfortable giving out your bank details or your credit card details to online companies, it’s well worth signing up for a free Paypal account. As a large portion of online stores now offer Paypal as a payment option. You can even use Paypal to pay for any eBay auctions which you win.

Better yet, if a company doesn’t send you the item which you purchased or there is some kind of dispute with a purchase you’ve made through Paypal, you can contact Paypal’s friendly customer service team you’ll be able to reverse the charges which have been made. Which means that you should always select Paypal as your preferred payment option, in order to decrease your chances of being scammed online.

  1. You can keep up to date with your expenses on a daily basis

While in past decades you may have had to wait for a printed bank statement to be sent to your home address in order to see all of the transactions which you’ve been made, in today’s day and age you can log into your internet banking account as often as you’d like. Which will give you the chance to cut back on your spending, if you find that you’ve already exceeded your weekly budget. Which will help you keep on track of your monthly expenditure.

In conclusion, it’s well worth using all of the four tips listed above in order to harness the power of technology in order to help you manage your money better today!

How Tech Can Only Advance Online Gaming

June 11, 2018 by Gregory

Technology has always been a positive force for change in our lives. It has also become an integral part of your life. Can you imagine being able to function at home or work with no internet, Wi-Fi, smartphones or tablets? According to reports, 54% of the global population now uses the internet, which is a staggering figure.

While some people resist the changes that new tech can bring, it will only enhance the way you enjoy life and can help you perform some essential daily tasks. Entertainment is one sector that tech plays a huge role in shaping – online gaming in particular.

How has tech shaped online gaming? 

In the old days, playing games was done via a console like the Sega Megadrive or on a desktop PC. The problem was that the games you could play were limited to that machine and what games you had in your collection. It also made playing against others difficult, as they had to be there with you. Enjoying casino games was even more inconvenient! To enjoy some poker or baccarat, you would have to find a casino nearby and then actually go out to use it.

With the rise of the internet and the advent of online gaming as a result, all the above issues have been solved. Online casinos make playing your favorite table or slot game much easier, and online video gaming makes the whole world your playing partner.

Will tech help online gaming evolve further?

It is a pretty sure thing that new tech being developed will only help online gaming develop further. To start with, more powerful technology will allow bigger, better games to be developed for online play. The extra capabilities the online space offers will help game developers produce titles that give a more detailed, immersive experience than ever before.

The online casino sector is another niche where technology will only help it to advance. Casino games will become even more sophisticated and awesome to play. Virtual reality is set to really help online gambling make the next leap forward, with full VR casinos already starting to pop up.

This next gen tech will help players get the perfect mixture between the convenience of online play but with the real-life feel of offline connections. It also opens up a huge range of possibilities – want to play a few hands of blackjack at the Bellagio in Vegas? VR casinos may allow you to do just that but with no need to travel or spend hundreds on a plane ticket!

Technology is key for online gaming

Technology and online gaming are so intertwined that any developments in tech will only help online gaming push on. This is great news for you as a player, as it will mean better games to play and more immersive experiences to enjoy. When you factor in possible future developments like online games that recognize your emotions when playing or can be voice-activated for more realism, it looks set to be exciting times ahead.

John Kang WebMD Discusses Artificial Intelligence Fear And Hype In Healthcare

May 30, 2018 by Gregory

Whenever discussing modern healthcare it is hard not to mention artificial intelligence since AI stands out as a huge hope and fear for future developments. John Kang WebMD, surgical oncologist and healthcare IT specialist, discusses the hype and fear surrounding artificial intelligence as it is now used in healthcare and how it might be used in the future.

John Kang starts by talking about the fact there is a constant increase in the number of tech firms and startups that are now active in AI research and development. There are various possible sophisticated solutions offered for healthcare, ranging from nurse-bots to AI wearables the elderly can use. Most of the AI research done at the moment is highly interesting but it is not yet transformative. John Kang WebMD believes that fear surrounding artificial intelligence is not warranted since almost all new solutions proposed did not manage to improve life expectancy or quality.

The biggest hype surrounding AI use in healthcare comes from aspiring entrepreneurs that believe AI will be the next big thing and that humans will be replaced by machines. Interestingly, this is also the biggest associated fear. What should be known, according to John Kang MC, is that the fear noticed is simply grounded in Sci-Fi culture, not in reality. Computer intelligence does advance much faster than our own intelligence but this actually opens the doors to opportunities, not dangers.

Various reports highlighted that computer speed is doubling every few years. If this keeps happening and we see a 5 times speed increase in the following ten years, inexpensive diagnostic software and machine learning tools can easily become as common for the doctor as we all know the stethoscope is.

Unfortunately, those working in healthcare will be affected if AI keeps evolving. This is a reality. Technology can lower healthcare costs and improve quality. Because of this, there are healthcare jobs that are going to disappear. Studies show that AI can take over around 47% of the entire US employment market if it keeps evolving at the current rate. However, this is not an accurate representation of healthcare. Blue-collar jobs are mostly affected.

John Kang is a truly positive light in the modern healthcare industry since he is one of those that embrace everything that has the potential to improve life quality. Progress is something that can improve lives while lowering healthcare prices. Similarly to how robotics affected manufacturing, artificial intelligence can impact modern medicine. However, the need to have doctors is still strong and will most likely not change. Computers cannot show compassion or empathy and most decisions are made based on probabilities.

Businesses and entrepreneurs will keep investing in the development of artificial intelligence applications. This means hyping all applications. However, even if machine learning can take medicine to a whole new level, this is not going to happen as fast as promised. At the moment we need to keep our feet on the ground and understand that all the hype and fear associated with AI use in healthcare is wildly misunderstood.

YouTube VS Twitch: Which Live Streaming Platform Is Best For Poker?

May 2, 2018 by Gregory

 

“A New Era For Twitch?” (CC BY 2.0) by BagoGames
Caption: Twitch or YouTube; which is the best poker livestreaming platform?

There are few elements of human history that have changed the world quite as much as the introduction of the internet. Over the last few decades, the world wide web has become an intricate part of our lives, with over 4 billion people, 54% of the world’s total population, using the internet on a regular basis.

How Poker Streaming Started

With every passing year, there is more to discover and more corners of the web to explore, but there are some staples that continue to thrive despite how quickly the internet evolves. One such staple is live streaming, which began all the way back in 2007 with the introduction of a platform aptly titled Livestream. While this specific website may no longer be quite as popular as it used to be, there are more live streaming platforms than ever including DaCast, Upstream, Bambuser and Showcaster. However, the two most popular live streaming websites are without a doubt YouTube Live and Twitch, boasting 315,000 and 800,000 active users on average respectively.

Of course, not everyone in these audiences is interested in the same subjects, which has led to a wonderfully diverse number of topics being livestreamed on a regular basis. On both YouTube and Twitch, PC and video games appear to be the leading genre that most people are interested in. That said, there are also communities centred on music, food, painting, dance, cosplay, knitting, paper craft, makeup, sculpting and almost any other hobby you could possibly imagine.

One genre that has been gaining significant amounts of popularity over the last few years has been poker. Anyone who was around at the turn of the millennium will of course remember televised poker, which began in March 2003 with the inaugural World Poker Tournament that aired on the Travel Channel. This was swiftly followed by the 2003 WSOP Main Event, broadcast on ESPN, and before we knew it poker was being regularly televised for all to enjoy.

Around this same time, online casinos were gaining attention and the iGaming industry was already born. Before long, playing online poker became a pastime that thousands of people around the world would enjoy, which is the situation we find ourselves in today. It made sense then, to introduce poker to the world of livestreaming – especially since platforms like YouTube and Twitch are now receiving as many daily viewers as leading television news channels.

This leads us to the topic of the day: which is better for livestreaming poker, YouTube or Twitch?

YouTube Live

Ever since August 2005, YouTube has dominated the world of online video. However, while YouTube may have 30 million daily viewers, not all of these visitors are engaging in livestreams, which has enabled Twitch to become the dominant livestreaming platform. Still, YouTube Live has a lot of potential and with such a large audience to tap into it’s no surprise that poker has entered the fray.

To set up a livestream, all you have to do is set up an account and head to the stream option in settings. That’s all you have to do (assuming you already have the correct equipment and video know-how to set up in a livestream), and you simply wait for viewers to roll in. There’s not really a lot more to say about it. Many of the most popular poker live streams on YouTube are hosted by big companies, so it certainly may be difficult for newbies with no followers to gain any traction.

Twitch

Watch $1000 THRILLLAAA. Last stream before Montreal MILLIONS. LET’S GET THAT W. !pokershares !888 @tonkaaaaP from tonkaaaaP on www.twitch.tv
With so many different categories already available on Twitch, it can be difficult for any specific genre to break out. Fortunately for poker, it is very much a game and there’s nothing Twitch users love more than watching livestreamed games. This may be one of the reasons why the Twitch Poker hub has grown by leaps and bounds over the last two years, swiftly becoming the go-to place for poker livestreams.

Poker professionals often tend to lean towards creating streams that are very similar to the poker we would recognize on television, especially if there’s a big company involved. They also tend to offer premium subscribers Videos on Demand (VoDs) – after all, they know how this business works. Take Parker “TonkaaaaP” Talbot, for example, one of Twitch’s hottest poker players, who recently partnered to stream with 888poker. As well as streaming poker at least five times a week on regular basis, he also offers numerous clips and VoDs to his dedicated subscribers who tune in to watch him play and explain Texas Hold’em on $20-$50 buy-in tournaments.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the poker chip, Twitch encourages newer potential poker livestreamers to join by offering the Twitch Partner program that helps you set up your account and even gives you access to Scott Ball, Global Head of Poker Partnerships. It appears that Twitch genuinely wants more poker livestreamers to use their platform and give newcomers all the help they could want and need, within reason. This is also great news for viewers as everyone wants to watch a happy individual or group enjoying themselves, who has been offered the best advice when it comes to video quality, direction and how they should go moving forward.

Conclusion

It appears then that both Twitch and YouTube have their own benefits when it comes to livestreaming poker, but we should also make it clear that they share the same downsides. Most importantly, if you’re a streamer there is a lot of competition on both of these sites which will probably make it more difficult for any new poker streamer to gather a loyal audience quickly. You could choose to go to a smaller site but as YouTube and Twitch do have the largest audience and so have the most potential. Viewers will experience a similar problem in that there is so much content to watch on both platforms it can be difficult to find the livestreams you will enjoy most. The simple fix for this is just to google a list of the best poker streamers and take it from there.

So, if you have the choice of just YouTube Live or Twitch, which one do we think is the best? We have to go with Twitch as not only do they support professionals, but they also give a lot of help to newbies looking to start their own channels. YouTube certainly has its positives, but we think the video platform is best suited for pre-recorded poker games that viewers can click and watch whenever they want.

What do you think? Do you agree with our decision, or does YouTube Live offer something that we’ve missed? Do you have a favourite poker livestreamer or a channel you’d like us to check out? Leave a comment below.

Technology Hacks For Moving Houses

May 1, 2018 by Gregory

Use Shiply to find a low-cost removal company

Shiply is a great place to find a removal company because the registered companies usually have prices up to 75% cheaper than going direct.

Companies on Shiply are able to offer lower prices because they are fitting in their Shiply jobs with their existing work. This means you’re only paying for the spare capacity needed for the vehicle rather than what it would cost for an empty vehicle driving to your home, doing the job, then driving back empty to the depot. On Shiply you just input the details of the move and the type of service you’re looking for (whether you just need a van and a driver, or a full-service complete with packing and unpacking) and wait for the quotes to arrive in your inbox.

Use apps to split your bills

Before you know it, you’ll be using it to split costs for all sorts of other situations like holidays with friends, stag/hen parties and splitting the cost of birthday presents.

Have people help you via TaskRabbit

Moving home can be a stressful time, and if you’re not a well-practised DIYer it can be a frustrating and drawn-out time before you’re settled with everything where you’d like it to be. Luckily there’s an app for that! There are a several apps where people can register as a tasker and be paid to do odd jobs for people – this includes things like putting up shelves or assembling furniture. If you think you’ll struggle to find the time and/or patience for this, there’ll be someone else to give you a hand.

Let your shopping come to you!

For food there’s HelloFresh where you can get recipes and their corresponding ingredients delivered every week.

How Safe Is Your Oxford Business?

May 1, 2018 by Gregory

There is never a time when it is okay to ‘relax’ the security measures in place in your business. Criminals are always looking for new and innovative ways to carry out their plans.

So that your business is not the subject of robbery, vandalism, or internal theft, here are some basic measures you can implement.

How secure is your business?

Oxford security experts explain that thefts often depend on the opportunity and that, in a large number of cases, the determining factor is an oversight that the owner of the business has within the business; that is immediately taken advantage of by the criminals.

Therefore, permanent surveillance is one of the main security measures which helps eliminate this problem, but not the only one.

Security planning

First of all, it is essential to have a pre-established security plan. You should hire a professional security technician to plan and install a complete security system that is specifically adapted to the idiosyncrasies and needs of your particular business and its location. This security plan will require some basic elements.

  • In the first place, an adequate indication by means of signs – both in accesses and in the interior of the business – of the existence of specific security measures.
  • A sound alarm system suitable for the business and connected to a reception center with a protected telephone line, not visible.
  • A video surveillance system, with visible (dissuasive) or camouflaged cameras, with recording of images, covering all key (high value/risk) areas of the business.
  • One or several guards in case they are necessary. You should also carefully consider a trusted employee who can take responsibility for the security system and its maintenance.
  • An audible signal and a control system to open the access doors to the business.
  • It is also advisable to reinforce common spaces such as lobbies, landings, and staircases, as well as other elements such as ceilings, floors and partition walls.
  • If the premises are located in contiguity with other buildings; protect shop windows using anti-moon landing pillars, reinforced glass, vibration detectors, etc. Make use of lockable display cabinets for displaying high-value merchandise.
  • It is advisable to install security grilles or blinds, anti-lever and anti-cut doors. Establish with the help of a security expert the best method of securing windows and other access points to the business (vents, skylights, etc.). Also, make sure to install security locks on doors, windows and other access points, and reinforce frames and hinges.
  • It is also recommended to maintain good lighting both inside and outside your business. Take extraordinary precautions if your business operates at unusual times (night shift, 24-hours, etc.).

You have worked hard to establish and grow your business – make sure all your hard work is not for nothing. Secure your business against robbery, theft, and vandalism to ensure your peace of mind.

Technologies That Will Likely Disappear In The Upcoming Years

March 29, 2018 by Gregory

The world of technology never ceases to change and develop! More and more gadgets are being created with the latest technologies available. As new ones appear in the market, people tend to forget the existing gadgets and no longer use them. Take a look below at some of the technologies that are likely to disappear in the upcoming years.

3G Technology

3G literally means Third Generation of mobile telecommunication technology. When it was first introduced, it revolutionised the telecommunication industry. Today, most mobile phones support 3G. But since the technological world keeps innovating, 4G, 4G LTE and even 5G are being developed.

It means 3G will most likely be of no use in the upcoming 2 or 3 years, as the latest mobile phones may not support it. As mobile technology continues to grow, these different generations provide more security, speed and reliability. It is expected that the functionalities that were missing with 3G will be included in 4G, 4G LTE and 5G.

Passwords

Do you use many passwords? You will be surprised to learn that it is possible that passwords will no longer be in use in the upcoming years! However, not to worry because instead of passwords, more and more computers will scan people’s retina or recognise their voice. Such biometric information is becoming popular these days.

Biometric information like retina and fingerprints scan, voice or face recognition are more secure than passwords, as they are not easily hacked. Longer or more complex passwords can also be cracked! But since fingerprints or retina are unique, they help in enhancing online security. Even if one day, passwords will no longer be in use, your account at Lucky Pants Bingo will still remain active and safe for you to enjoy free online bingo, along with other amazing games.

Dish TV

Are you used to watching TV which requires a dish to function? Dish TV too is likely to disappear in the upcoming years! The reason is the development of internet TV. It comes with more functionalities that can definitely enhance your viewing experience. It is expected that around 40% of internet TV will penetrate the market by 2020.

An internet TV uses a web browser to broadcast TV shows. It can be easily accessed and the programmes are available on demand. There are different options as well, such as the possibility to pause a show and resume it afterwards or watching in slow motion. You can also stream your favourite shows or purchase movie packages from Amazon on Demand or Netflix. These options are not available on dish TV, which explains why it may disappear in the future.

Digital Cameras

Fans of photography? For many years, digital cameras have been in use! They successfully replaced film rolls and Polaroids. But with the development of smartphone cameras, they are likely to disappear in the next 5 years. Mobile phone cameras have a better quality and you can easily share your photos with your contacts. On iPhones, you can even create personalised photo albums to store your pictures.

There are still high-end digital cameras like DSLRs which provide a higher level of flexibility, quality and clarity. Smartphone cameras have not reached that level yet. But if special lenses are added to them for more focus, DSLRs too can become obsolete in the upcoming years.

Cheques, Credit Cards and ATMs

Can you imagine life without chequebooks, credit cards and ATMs? In the upcoming years, these can disappear too! According to researches, more than 90% of people under the age of 35 use online banking or money transfer systems like PayPal for their financial transactions. The use of paychecks have also gone down considerably.

With the development of mobile payment apps and cryptocurrencies, cheques, credit cards and ATMs will no longer be of any use. Salaries are transferred directly into accounts and people can access the funds using electronic payment methods or eWallets.

As newer technologies are taking over, the traditional ones will quickly become obsolete in the coming years. It is important to keep up to date with all that technology has to offer in the future, so as not to be left behind.

4 Ways To Make Your Website Faster

March 26, 2018 by Gregory

The speed of your website is extremely important for a number of reasons. For one thing, no one likes a slow website. Potential customers are likely to get frustrated and go somewhere else if your site takes too long to load. A slow website can also have a major impact on your SEO. Google likes websites that load quickly, and long load times can have a negative effect on your rankings. For these reasons, you want to make sure your site is as efficient as it can be. So here are a few things that can help you improve the speed of your site.

Make Your Images Internet-Friendly: Images tend to be one of the things that takes longest to load on a website. Having too many images or making them too big can make your site take forever to load. Luckily, there are a few things you can do about this without having to remove them completely. A couple of these include compressing the images or changing the resolution to cut down on the file size. You can also make use of cropping to reduce the size of your images.

Cut Down on the Number of Plugins: If you’re a WordPress user, it can be tempting to add as many plugins to your site as you can. However, what you may not realize is that too many plugins can have an effect on your website speed. It’s worth taking the time to question whether or not you really need all the plugins you’re currently using. You may find there’s other ways to accomplish the same goal. It’s also a good idea to ask whether you’re actually using all of your plugins every few months.

Make Use of Caching: Another thing you can do to make your website run faster is to use caching. This means your site stores static resources such as images and HTML files. In this way, your site will load faster upon repeat visits because it doesn’t have to retrieve the same data every single time. This will prove to be very useful for people who are regular visitors to your site. WordPress has a few plugins that can help you with this such as W3 Total Cache.

Switch to a Dedicated Servers: Do you really want to see your website speed soar to new levels? Then switch to a dedicated server. A dedicated server is a kind of hosting service in which the server is not shared with any other websites. Without other websites eating up bandwidth or memory, your site will be able to perform at maximum efficiency. It’s the best thing you can do to improve your website’s speed. If you want to learn more about having a dedicated server, look up Memset. You’ll find everything you need there.

Again, you don’t want to overlook the importance of having a fast website. You customers will appreciate having a site that’s easy to navigate, and Google will too. Start taking steps to making your site faster today, and you’ll see the results in no time.

Amidst the myriad of unique software programs and other forms of technology, how do you know where to start in terms of utilizing technology to best suit your business?

Sure, it’s important to keep your mind sharp and focused on the cutting edge of your industry, but it’s also essential to know how to exploit the innovation of others. This, of course, includes technology.

Technology, by nature, is constantly growing and evolving. Knowing how to tap into it effectively can result in significant growth for your small business. Not only that, you’ll find yourself saving time, money, and a great deal of effort as well.

As a small business owner, we know that you’re accustomed to “wearing multiple hats”. However, multi-tasking won’t pay off as much as you think it might. Understanding new technologies and using them to your advantage is your best bet.

Let’s take a closer look at the following four ways that technology can help your business.

Optimal Marketing Software

Using effective marketing software will allow you to develop, grow, and connect with your customer base. Outside of online advertisements, email marketing software provides critical tools such as follow up, shopping cart recovery, and relevant digital advertising programs.

Effective Invoicing Software

It’s important to integrate modern invoicing software into your business so you can effectively request and manage your invoices.

Not only will you save a great deal of time, but you will also be able to see your cash flow.
