Though it is more noticeable with mobile data networks since those are generally used in different locations, the home internet has dead zones and gaps of poor coverage as well.

What is screencasting? Why would you want to record your computer screen, anyway? Well, I’m glad you asked! Recording what is happening on your screen can be a pretty useful tool for teachers who want to create video tutorials or presentations for their classrooms, and many teachers are usingscreencasting tools in their flipped classroom models

Scientists say quantum computers could be built to operate up to a million times faster than conventional computers. But how do they work? And how close are we to putting them in homes and offices around the world? Via Szabolcs Kósa 
luiy's curator insight,
June 2, 4:38 PM
Between D-Wave’s quasi-quantum device and various ion-trapping machines, there are plenty of exciting developments on the quantum computing front. Last week, a D-Wave machine consisting of 439 qubits processed an equation 3600 times faster than a conventional computer. That said, the most complex prime factorization processed by Shor’s Algorithm is still only... 21 (the answer’s 3 and 7. Easy to come up with on paper, not so easy using atoms).
But quantum computing is about more than cracking codes. The D-Wave device Google announced last week will be used to improve machine learning. That means better robots and maybe dystopia, if you believe our editor Adam Penenberg. But it also means producing better models for understanding the world around us (and, since this is Google we’re talking about, better models for organizing and searching through all that data). “Machine learning is all about building better models of the world to make more accurate predictions,” writes Google’s Director of Engineering Hartmut Neven in a blog post. “If we want to cure diseases, we need better models of how they develop. If we want to create effective environmental policies, we need better models of what’s happening to our climate. And if we want to build a more useful search engine, we need to better understand spoken questions and what’s on the web so you get the best answer.” Delete the scoop?
