California and other states are in the process of rewriting the traffic laws to make way for driverless cars. So then, what happens to the millions of people who are employed driving cars and trucks as previously these jobs were always protected from the advances of technology?



“All those jobs are going to disappear in the next 25 years,” predicts Moshe Vardi, a computer scientist at Rice University in Houston. “Driving by people will look quaint; it will look like a horse and buggy.”

Street View Car – Learn More:

When we first started Street View as an experimental project, we packed several computers into the back of an SUV, stuck cameras, lasers, and a GPS device on top, and drove around collecting our first imagery. Since Street View launched for five U.S. cities in May 2007, we’ve expanded our 360-degree panoramic views to include locations on all seven continents.

We then moved to a van for a brief period, before switching to a fleet of cars that would allow us to scale the project throughout the US and around the world. We went from a rack of computers to one small computer per car, and then set to work refining our camera system to capture higher-resolution panoramic views.

After several iterations of the car and camera technology, the latest car has 15 lenses taking 360 degrees of photos. It also has motion sensors to track its position, a hard drive to store data, a small computer running the system, and lasers to capture 3D data to determine distances within the Street View imagery.

It is all about “High Quality Content”

This is very important to author fresh and effective content. If you create profile backlinks without using relevant keywords or content, your job will not bring any fruitful results for you. If you can choose quality content getting back links from sites will be easy. If you can do this properly, Google Penguin will not be any bar for you.

This is a secured system of Google to protect the web from spammers.

Google Glass Stops Facebook Mobile Expansion for $1,500 Shipped “Early Next Year,” Augmented Glasses to be Norm Everyone to Wear!

Forbes report argues that Google Glass will be standing in the way of Facebook’s maneuvering for a larger mobile presence.

 

By allowing professional photographers to preview the device, Google is signaling that Project Glass is not simply a mobile device, but also as a social device. Photos are a key part of modern human social interaction, and Glass will provide a way for users to share their first-hand experiences, to allow others to see things from their perspective. Facebook wants users to fill their Timelines with a record of their life. However, if all of those experiences are filtered through the view of a Google product, will Facebook ever be able to get ahead? Source: webpronews.com/

 

Google gave quite the dramatic presentation when Sergey Brin interrupted a Google+ presentation to demo the much talked about Project Glass. This is the Project Glass presentation in its entirety.


The announcement behind all the spectacle was that Google I/O attendees will be able to pre-order the “Explorer Edition” of Google Glass for $1,500. U.S.-based convention attendees will be able to have the device shipped to them “early next year.”
