The news had already been in the air for some time: #Netflix, the most popular streaming service which is also gaining an increasingly larger share of users in Italy, has decided to make its contents available also #offline (not all and not immediately, but it's already a big step forward). Until now, in fact, Netflix subscribers who wanted to watch a film, a documentary or a TV series in streaming necessarily had to be connected... Read more

Netflix is ​​growing and thinking of going offline

netflix 980x571

#Netflix flies above expectations, on the stock market as well as in the number of #subscribers. Anyone who believed that it would be difficult for the American giant to undermine Sky and other TV subscription systems will have to think again. Thanks to high-level content, the absence of advertising and an impeccable, low-cost service, Netflix has now conquered everyone. And soon we will be able to see it offline too. Rather than #growth, some are talking about a boom: last night, in fact, the stock recorded continuous increases, up to ... Read more

Amazon versus Netflix?

main primevmain

By the end of the year, probably November, Amazon will also bring its #streaming service, #Amazon Prime Video, to Italy, in direct competition with #Netflix. Here's what could happen. Amazon has not confirmed yet, but several sources have reported that everything is now ready. Already available in several European countries, Germany, Austria and England, Amazon Prime Video provides, like Netflix, a monthly subscription, without a contract and with a fixed fee, to watch unlimited content, films, documentaries and... on a practically infinite number of devices.

The new Samsung will have two displays

samsung

Samsung's next smartphone could have two displays. The first foldable smartphone was announced in 2017, but other models could hit the market in the future. Today's news is that Samsung filed a patent at the end of 2015 that describes a smartphone with two separate screens; no news, for now, if this patent will materialize into something real. About four years ago, Samsung submitted a patent for a dual display smartphone, which had two touch panels… Read more

Here is the first TV against mosquitoes

lg tv mosquitoes

It's called Mosquito Away and it's the first television in the world that repels mosquitoes. Thus, especially in the summer, we will be even more inclined to see a good film on TV... Thanks to an ultrasound system, in fact, which is not perceptible to the human ear, this television, a jewel of LG technology, promises to keep annoying nuisances at bay insects without using any harmful chemicals. It may seem like a strange option, but it should be considered that the 32LH520D model was entirely designed and produced in India, to… Read more

Child abuse, a network of 'sentinel' paediatricians will combat the phenomenon

Menarini 02

Today more than ever the issue of child abuse is on the agenda: a society bereft of values ​​and prospects for the future brings other orphans into the world, often abandoned at the mercy of a TV or internet without control and without sufficient protection . This is the context that puts more and more minors at risk of suffering violence, and increases the work of all the associations that have always been fighting to avoid child abuse. Among these the best known… Read more

Elon Musk has the 'infinite' electric car ready

car

Tesla Motors' Model S already surpasses every other electric car on the market in terms of autonomy, with its over 400km of range. Yet Elon Musk doesn't stop there. The CEO of Tesla Motors has announced that his company could bring this range beyond 900km by 2017 and in any case no later than the next 4 years, until it reaches the threshold of 1200km with a single battery charge. It's basically like having the ability to travel from... Read more

i30: small flashes of the future.

cq5dam.web .650.600

Calling it a 'restyling' is humiliating: after extensive renovation work above and under the bonnet, the Hyundai i30 presents itself with a decidedly 'European' and decisive appeal, and gives the readers of Futuroprossimo (and those who write to you first of all) a lot of insights into the innovations that are now part of modern automotive culture. From the multipurpose solutions to the greater possibility of 'customising' the purchase, from the ever greater guaranteed (and perceived) safety to the stylistic innovations, this car convinces from the first glance. Just for … Read more

Nearly one in 5 children under 8 years old use a mobile device every day

childrenidevice

Boom in interactions on mobile devices for US children. It is the result of a survey by Common Sense Media, which interviewed a sample of 1500 families with children in that age range. That's currently a third of the number of children reading books every day. It is an important transition phase, not necessarily negative: just consider the data of children under 8 years old engaged in an activity that is often much less interactive: that of watching TV. 58%… Read more

Technical tests of 'replicator': here is the morphic table that transmits objects in real time

keiichi matsuda augmented hyperreality domestic robocop 1

We are approaching the 'mimetic' era in which devices will not simply recognize our words, our actions, our objects but will begin to reproduce these things in three dimensions. The device that we show you in the video is the result of the work of Keiichi Matsuda, a Japanese architect and filmmaker who has been studying applications and installations based on the interaction between sensors and servomotors for years (in the photograph there is a frame of his previous work based on reality increased). This is a 'morphic' table... Read more

3 IT trends for 2014

it

Not all predictions and predictions are long-term: after all, I have to give someone the chance to refute what I say. If the topic is 'IT', then, it will be even easier to prove me wrong given the extreme 'elasticity' of certain situations. Yet some trends in my opinion are traced, and I am pleased to arrange them here for future reference. Here are 3 IT trends for the coming year: 1. The Cloud will be the new hardware. – All major industrial changes… Read more

The gym of the future

Gyms are not a recent phenomenon: if you think that it is only a place linked to the vain and obese, you are wrong. The 'gymnasium' was the ancient Greek space that hosted the physical exercises and training of athletes. The first gym in the form we know came out in the middle of the last century, with a point of no return: the creation of the first working treadmill, in the 60s, which allowed the first brave people to start running in ...

Telecom cools costs with a hot offer

sam parkman lx6bqztgroi unsplash scaled

The digital divide in Italy is still at rather worrying levels: it's not just about the distance between those who have a connection and those without one, there is also a big difference between the various types of connections and the average time spent on the web. Internet connection today allows much more than the simple use of a PC: new generation consoles, on-demand video content and interactive activities on smart TVs can only be used through a 'broad' contract...

Christmas in times of crisis: technology and convenience

nexus redcoon 1

The crisis is raging in Europe, and 'intelligent' purchases are gradually becoming prudent: even during the Christmas holidays, gifts will be given in the name of the best possible relationship between quality and price. It is not easy to navigate the thousands of offers that populate the shops and the internet: some good price comparison services can help us, and in this short note I want to talk to you about redcoon.it. It is a relatively new site on the scene, however founded by a group with ... Read more

Extraterrestrial life: the radio bubble hypothesis

where are they

The question was referring to the fact that it seemed strange to him that we were not receiving any extraterrestrial transmissions from space. If it is true that there are millions of planets similar to ours out there and if at least a small percentage of them have developed intelligent life, why don't we receive any radio transmissions? This inconsistency was later called the “Fermi Paradox”. It is clear that if intelligent life develops on a remote planet, once technological development has been reached, it will necessarily have to... Read more

Because politics will do without politicians.

In difficult times like these, popular demands persist: in the last 3 and a half years the only positive developments for our country have come from referendums. To the ever greater surprise of politicians and scholars of social flows, political protest movements are organizing themselves and are preparing to be, thanks to the Internet, increasingly structured and 'intelligent'. A typical and important phenomenon in the structure of increasingly present popular movements (from peaceful protest ones to 'revolutionary' ones... Read more

2012, the year of redemption for blogs: Enel has its prize ready.

NAS awards headshots

The long wave of social networks has passed: this precious communication tool has been adopted en masse by surfers all over the world, but the massive use of social platforms such as Twitter and Facebook has not swept away an 'old' form of expression on the web, which is indeed always left for dead but always remains afloat: gentlemen, the blog is not dead but lives and fights together with us. The flow of continuous updates that we can refer to over time… Read more
