With some of these major transformations, cellular network companies like Zong which had recently launched and tested its 5G service globally, are also hopeful to make fast speed internet accessible and reachable to everyone. With these changes, let’s hope to see better advancements in the future.

Zong 4g has become the first cellular network company in Pakistan to make an experimental video call by using 5G technology which is a benchmark for the cellular tech world.

In a press conference, the IT minister Aminul Haque expressed his pride and hoped that this will change the technological landscape of Pakistan. He also congratulated Zong 4G for launching the experimental 5G service and acknowledged that they have state of the art technology and modern infrastructure which is imperative for such initiatives.

He further briefed that, 5G spectrum process in Pakistan is in last stage and soon we are going to auction the service which will earn us the huge revenue. After the launch of 5G technology, Pakistani people will be able to connect to digital world effectively.

The fibre optic cable is being laid and the service will be launched soon in the country by next year.

The burst came from a Neutron star Magnetar, having strong magnetic field, solving a big cosmic mystery.

Quick Radio Bursts or FRBs are extremely high radio waves which come from distant galaxies. The first FRB was recorded in 2007, but nothing returned from it, because it was difficult to study as they quickly get over. In 2013, astronomers discovered four more burst confirming the cosmic origins – deepening the mystery.

From April astronomers have been discovering FRBs from our own Milky Way, which garnered much attention. The two telescopes pick up x-ray and gamma ray bursts emanating from Magnetar.

But this time it is the strongest and most energetic radio blast ever recorded within our galaxy. According to Amanda Weltman, a South African theoretical Physicist for a press conference said, “Astronomers shall be watching the opposite identified magnetars in our galaxy for extra flares, to see a fast burst like this; it’s a must to occur to have your telescope trying in the precise route on the proper time – there’s no finish of luck concerned. That is solely the very, very starting for FRB science. I believe there shall be tens of 1000’s noticed in numerous galaxies inside a few years.”

The discovery seems to be solving a part of FRB mystery, but there are a lot of other pieces left to be placed into this cosmic puzzle.

Its “disappearing messages” option will erase chats from both the sender and receiver after 7 days.

In April, the Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg pledged to make effective changes to the social media network for maximum privacy. And this features aims to provide a better opportunity for safety.

The company shared that the messages could be set to expire after seven days to offer “peace of mind that conversations aren’t permanent, while remaining practical so you don’t forget what you were chatting about”

The company also merged the messaging options for Instagram and Messenger recently and also hopeful to make Whatsapp interoperable as well. Meanwhile the rival app Snapchat was built on the principle of disappearing messages. With this upcoming feature on Whatsapp, users would still be able to screenshots or forward any content including images and videos.

The disappearing option will be available for the users by the end of November.

With the launch of iOS14 in September, Apple swiftly started taking serious steps to increase its search engine’s security to present itself as a competitor in the search market against Google by making its own searching tool. With the new OS, the company shows its own search results and links directly to websites when users type queries from their home-screens.

And recently Apple has accelerated work to develop it when Google faced a lawsuit by antitrust forces in the US over its dominance in search technology. The Antitrust enforcers being a component of the claim, the Department of Justice noted that Google pays Apple billions of dollars to be the principle web engine on iOS gadgets.

According to the FT, Apple two years ago hired Google’s head of search, John Giannandrea, in a move designed to help build artificial intelligence capabilities and its Siri virtual assistant.
