Karen’s Weekly Review of Technology Hits

AI, doctors and robots, penguins, WhatsApp, and Grammarly

Everyone should find something of interest this week! Technology Hits is looking for new writers. If you have a story about anything technology related please join up and share it with us.

So, moving swiftly onto business…

Imagine, for a moment, arriving at the Emergency Room to be greeted by a robot. Your symptoms are then recorded by the robot who diagnoses your ailment. Would you be happy with this use of technology?

I’d rather have a human doctor who has technology at their fingertips to support their vast knowledge. Adam Tabriz, MD shares his thoughts.

Information technology and its contributors are merely dictating how physicians must practice and how much they should earn. In other words, the value of their work is not decided between them and the patient but merely determined by data analysts’ algorithms. The 21st-century physicians are the disciples of mathematical algorithms. Working like a Robot is the expected attitude of physicians in developing countries today.

Counting penguins sounds like fun, doesn’t it? But imagine many penguins all moving around, how do you know which ones you’ve counted? AI can make this task a lot easier for researchers.

The aim of your research is to understand the habitat, the features, the food web and the overall ‘lifestyle’ of Antarctic penguins. This information will help you to understand how climate change could affect the Antarctic penguins and how WWF and AI can potentially help them.

I can honestly say I had never heard of WhatsApp Status update. In fact, when I read the title, I didn’t even register what Status was in connection to WhatsApp!

When I checked out the app, I realised I hadn’t noticed there was a Status whatever it’s called and I’d never selected it before! Now I have thanks to you, Gal Mux!

I usually check my phone first thing in the morning to see whether I might have missed any communication while I was asleep. As a person who loathes phone calls and communicates mostly via texting, and mainly through WhatsApp, checking the App is a thing I do consistently for my morning routine.

Aldric Chen has wowed me with another of his stories. He shares his experience of using Grammarly. His words made me smile. Keep using it Aldric, you’ll get there.

I am blind to my writing mistakes. I realized them when I submitted stories to publications. Story rejections taught me life lessons.

This quote from Brajendra made me laugh out loud! So simple yet so on the nail! I also adore that Brajendra was inspired by Dr. Preeti Singh’s Big Data article.

Having a lot of data doesn’t mean we have big data but having accurate data could be a big data.

Thank you for reading.
