Doing LinkedIn Right

If you are in the professional world, it is very important to have a LinkedIn account. Secondly, it is important to have a good LinkedIn account. It doesn't matter how well you can provide content management services, if you do not present a good image of yourself. Customers want to be able to see what they are buying. First of all, you need to include a profile picture, and a good one at that. The professional headline also needs to be good in the sense that it needs to be specific and be able to grab the attention of viewers. The summary section acts as an elevator pitch where you can talk about who you are, what you have done, and where do you hope to be professionally. It should make the reader want to scroll further down. Lastly, always be honest about your accomplishments because a lie like that is grounds for firing.

Future of Computing

When people speak of the future of computers it always seems a bit gloomy and reminiscent of the Terminator. It is not all completely bad. For one thing computers can store a lot of information and are great at retrieving it. The ultimate librarian. Many of the databases are used for research purposes so that scientists will be able to use the information to save time and money just by looking something up. Researchers are getting better at teaching robots how to read the syntax of human movement, so they can work more closely on more complicated projects. Machine learning isn’t just keeping the cloud services clutter-free; it’s going to turn smart phones into geniuses. Current machine learning programs can require hundreds or thousands of iterations, but researchers are building animal-inspired algorithms that can learn good from bad after only a few trials.
