Today's Story Highlights
Televerde's Michelle Cirocco: Tech Enables Trust
"Everybody's using technologies like artificial intelligence, predictive analytics, marketing automation tools, search engine marketing and lead
analytics tools," said Michelle Cirocco, head of global marketing for
Televerde. "We're using all these tools and technologies to identify who
we should communicate with, and we use them to set the stage for our
marketing and demand-generation efforts."

AI and the Future of Your Job
I just finished The Fourth Age: Smart Robots, Conscious Computers, and the Future of Humanity , and it was one hell of a read. A lot of us are
concerned about the coming of robots that arguably will be substantially
smarter and more capable than we are. This book likely will make some
feel a tad more comfortable about the future, but others will have to
brace for change.

The Transportation Revolution: Much More Than Self-Driving Cars
The autonomous car has thrown the automotive industry -- an industry that is notoriously slow to change -- into the forefront of technology.
The autonomous car has become a technology catalyst because it requires
innovation in many areas, ranging from processor and sensor technology
to AI. The industry's focus initially has been on consumers because they
represent the billion-dollar pot of gold.

Lenovo Smart Display Shows Loads of Potential
Lenovo's Smart Display with Google Assistant has hit the market. There are two versions of the device, 8-inch and 10-inch, both with full HD
screens, and priced at $200 and $250 respectively. "The cost is
significantly below an iPad mini and it offers far more functionality
than just a digital picture frame or a Bluetooth speaker," said Alan
Lepofsky, principal analyst at Constellation Research.

Earrings With Earphones and a Smartphone Bonanza
Swings Bluetooth Earrings with built-in earphones showcase a practical, clever idea for people with pierced ears. Swings certainly could fix the
problem of losing Apple's expensive AirPods to the ether or having to
root around in one's pockets or purse to find one's tangled-up headset.
You can expect five hours of listening time out of the Swings on a
single charge.
