Google’s annual developer conference, Google I/O is less than a few days away. As always, the search giant is geared up to make some big announcements. Among other things, one key announcement that is expected is around an Android OS designed for Internet of Things (IoT). Dubbed Android Things 1.0, the concept made its first appearance in December 2016. Now, Google is ready for a full roll out of Android Things 1.0.

As the name suggests, Android Things 1.0 is an OS designed for making developers’ task easier while working on smart displays, kiosks and digital sign boards. Interestingly, device manufacturers won’t be allowed to change Android Things’ code related to software updates. If this is the case, then Google would have overcome the problem of device makers not updating software regularly. This could make IoT more viable as there will be regular updates available.
While it’s still unclear how and what Google intends to do with Android Things 1.0, a full roll-out will be a statement of intent from the search giant when it comes to IoT.


Apart from this, all eyes will be on the latest Android version that will be unveiled at Google IO 2018. The company is expected to talk about its features along with some other enhancements it has made in other apps. Android P is already available in developer beta version and is likely to roll out to end users later this year.


Google I/O 2018 is being held at Shoreline Amphitheatre, Mountain View, CA. The conference is scheduled to begin on May 8 and will conclude on May 10. In India, the event begins at 10.30PM on May 8.


The four-day event will be live streamed on the search giant’s own video platform – YouTube. It is free for all. One can see the keynote and all the other developer sessions that take place simultaneously in the rest of the days on YouTube through a dedicated Google Developers YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/GoogleDevelopers.

  Artificial Intelligence , or AI, has already received a lot of buzz in the past decade, but it continues to be one of the new  technology trends  because of its notable effects on how we live, work and play are only in the early stages. AI is already known for its superiority in image and speech recognition, navigation apps, smartphone personal assistants, ride-sharing apps and so much more. Other than that AI will be used further to analyze interactions to determine underlying connections and insights, to help predict demand for services like  hospitals  enabling authorities to make better decisions about resource utilization, and to detect the changing patterns of  customer behaviour  by analyzing data in near real-time, driving revenues and enhancing personalized experiences. The AI market will grow to a  $190 billion industry by 2025  with global spending on cognitive and AI systems reaching over  $57 billion in 2022.   With AI spreading its wings across sectors, new jobs will be

Computer Basics-Basic Parts of a Computer

-
Introduction The basic parts of a desktop computer are the computer case, monitor, keyboard, mouse, and power cord. Each part plays an important role whenever you use a computer. The computer case is the metal and plastic box that contains the main components of the computer, including the motherboard, central processing unit (CPU), and power supply. The front of the case usually has an On/Off button and one or more optical drives. Computer cases come in different shapes and sizes. A desktop case lies flat on a desk, and the monitor usually sits on top of it. A tower case is tall and sits next to the monitor or on the floor. All-in-one computers come with the internal components built into the monitor, which eliminates the need for a separate case. Monitor The monitor works with a video card, located inside the computer case, to display images and text on the screen. Most monitors have control buttons that allow you to change your monitor's display settings, and some monitors also

The following is a list of important formulas for Percentage: 1.  Percent implies “for every hundred”. % is read as percentage and x % is read as x per cent. 2.  To calculate p % of y (p/100) x y = (p x y)/100 p % of y = y % of p 3.  To find what percentage of x is y: y/x × 100 4.  To calculate percentage change in value Percentage change = {change/(initial value)} x 100 5.  Percentage point change = Difference of two percentage figures 6.  Increase N by S % = N( 1+ S/100 ) 7.  Decrease N by S % = N (1 – S/100) 8.  If the value of an item goes up/down by x%, the percentage reduction/increment to be now made to bring it back to the original point is 100x/ (100 + x) %. 9.  If A is x% more /less than B, then B is 100x/(100 + x) % less/more than A. 10.  If the price of an item goes up/down by x %, then the quantity consumed should be reduced by 100x/ (100 + x)% so that the total expenditure remains the same. 11.  Successive Percentage Change If there are succ
