Latest tech news 2023
Introduction
The year is almost over, and we're already in the middle of the next one. Here's a look at what's coming up in tech this year:
Google Home has removed kids mode.
Google Home has removed kids mode. It’s a feature that was designed to help parents control what their kids can access on Google Home.
Google has released a new app called Family Link which will allow you to do just that, control what your child can access by using the same account and password that you use for yourself.
Google is integrating the Play store directly into Chrome OS.
Google is integrating the Play Store directly into Chrome OS. This is a response to Microsoft's Windows Store, which competes with both Apple's App Store and Google Play. While it's not clear exactly how this will work or when it'll be available, it seems likely that all Chromebooks running Chrome OS 70 or later will have access to the Play store—and if you're an Android user looking for an alternative platform for your videos and music? Google has something for you too!
The new Gmail will go live this month.
This month, Gmail will go live with new features that make it more collaborative and visual. It will also be more conversational, which means you can ask questions like: “Hey Google what should I wear today?” or “Hey Google who are the top Twitter influencers in my city?”
Gmail is also going to be mobile-first and responsive so it looks great on any device. That means if you're checking your email on your phone at the park or at home while watching TV, you won't have to deal with any awkward loading times because Gmail itself has been rebuilt from the ground up for mobile use!
5G service launches in San Jose on Friday.
5G service will be available in San Jose on Friday. The city is the first to get access to Verizon's new network, which promises faster speeds than 4G LTE and can handle more data at once.
5G wireless technology is currently being tested around the country as carriers race to build out networks before they're needed by consumers. In some cases, even though 5G hasn't yet launched commercially (and won't until 2020), it's already been used commercially by companies like AT&T and T-Mobile for years now—but only at speeds slower than what you'd see with today's 4G LTE service.
The promise of 5G is that it'll bring faster speeds with less latency than current technology allows—and thus allow us all access to things like autonomous cars or virtual reality headsets without worrying about dropped connections or lag time while using them
Apple fans can now download a third beta of iOS 11.4 and macOS 10.13.5.
Apple fans can now download a third beta of iOS 11.4 and macOS 10.13.5.
The update is available for those who have registered their device with Apple's Developer Program and paid the $99 fee to join it, as well as those on public beta programs that require an active subscription in order to access them (and are therefore free). Those who don't fall into these categories can still get the new software though, but they'll need to join one of those programs first if they want access over-the-air updates; otherwise you'll need to sideload it manually onto your device by going through Settings > General > Software Update or by booting up into Recovery Mode then holding down Command + R until you see “Install OS X” at the bottom left corner of your screen before entering Disk Utility then clicking Restore from there when prompted
Takeaway:
As you can see, there are lots of exciting things happening in the tech world. It's a good time to be alive if you're a tech enthusiast and want to keep up with the latest trends.
Conclusion
With all these new tech developments, it's clear that we're living in an exciting time for technology. And if you have any questions about what's happening next year, the internet is waiting with open arms at #Tech2023!
