Here’s How You Can Protect Your Privacy On WhatsApp

Aug 12, 2022

Meta CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, has begun a new WhatsApp privacy campaign by announcing three new upcoming features. The new features arriving on WhatsApp will include blocking people from taking screenshots of a photo or video when you’ve used the existing ‘view once’ feature to share it, exit group chats without notifying everyone, and controlling who can see when you’re online.

The new features were announced by WhatsApp Head, Will Cathcart, and Meta CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, on Tuesday, August 9.

Mark Zuckerberg has announced new privacy features for @WhatsApp

✨ New Features ✨
– Leave Groups Silently
– Choose Who Can See When You’re Online
– Screenshot Blocking for View Once Messages pic.twitter.com/UPbZbUd3Ze

— Matt Navarra (@MattNavarra) August 9, 2022

Last Seen Status

While earlier, users could only hide their ‘last seen status, the new feature now allows you to hide your ‘online’ indicator or choose whom you want to share the position with. You can either completely hide the last seen online status from everyone, only unknown numbers, specific contacts, or from nobody. The feature will add a new ‘who can see when I’m online’ option under the last seen settings, with two options – ‘everyone’ and ‘same as last seen.’

Leave Groups Silently

Users can now leave group chats silently, without WhatsApp showing a ‘person left the group’ alert on the chat. The app alerts all group chat members to someone leaving or being removed by default. With the new feature, WhatsApp will only notify the group admin about a user leaving the group.

Viewed Once

The ‘view once’ messages allow users to send media files that are only viewable once. However, these still allowed people to take screenshots of the media file. Now, WhatsApp has added a screenshot blocking feature on ‘view once’ messages that will enable users to stop people from taking screenshots of their images.

As the campaign unfolds, we expect to hear more about existing and planned WhatsApp privacy features.

What are your thoughts about these features? Let us know in the comments below.

Aug 12, 2022

As Pakistan’s Independence Day is right around the corner, we find ourselves mesmerized by many campaigns. Brands work around the clock to produce influential and impactful campaigns that make us feel patriotic whilst putting their brand identity forward. As the 2022 Azaadi day approaches, let’s have a look at the best Azaadi campaigns we have seen so far.

Habib Metro

Habib Metro has knocked it out of the ballpark with their 2022 Azaadi campaign. They have made a short film capturing the scenes of partition from 1946 till the present day. They follow Habib Metro’s journey since before and how it has evolved with time to help Pakistanis empower themselves. The short film will steal your heart.

Oreo Pakistan

Oreo always has gone all out for this Independence Day. They’ve made some brilliant illustrations using their cookies to rope in the Pakistani crowd. Be it by building Pakistan step by step with their Oreos or by making chaand sitara with the cookies– they have done it all. Oreo’s Azaadi day campaign definitely deserves applause.

Peek Freans

Peek Freans also pulled out the big guns. After all, it is Pakistan’s most popular bakery and biscuits brand. Their latest release— the Sooper soft cakes— have taken Pakistanis by storm. It comes as no surprise then that the Azaadi campaign by Peek Freans features the soft cakes making Minar-e-Pakistan.

Brighto Paints

Brighto Paints put on their creative and nostalgic hats when it came to designing their Azaadi campaign for 2022. They rounded up all the important and influential personalities of Pakistan who have made sacrifices for Pakistan and have also made some contributions that have taken the country forward. Arfa Kareem, M.M Alam, and others take the centre stage in this campaign.

Cynergyico

Cynergyico made the most heartwarming video ever as their azaadi campaign. Their video sheds light on how Pakistanis always find a way to move past the negativity and connect with each other. It shows people helping each other and lifting them up which is such an important message in the current sociopolitical climate! Definitely a win.

The way you use a smart band has changed and here is why you would need a larger display and longer battery life

By

-

Aug 11, 2022

Remember a time where smart bands used to be just a thin band that was tightly wound around your wrist? Those with a small monochrome display or a set of LED indicators, or some without either? Those were the days when a smart band served just a few main purposes, keeping track of fitness or few notification alerts. However in today’s connected world we demand a lot more from our trusty wearables, leading to strong health management features and even larger displays with longer battery life. While some of these features are more commonly found on smartwatches, smart bands usually tend to struggle a bit here. This is where Huawei’s newly launched HUAWEI Band 6 comes into play with all of the smartwatch-like features, packed into its more affordable smart band body enabling it do a lot more than just a band.

But let’s look at what exactly we do differently with our smart bands today. For starters, with more attention being paid to the overall health and fitness, it is more convenient to access this data on the display of the smartwatch itself, as opposed to using a separate app every time. For example if you want to keep an eye on your important health indicators, such as blood oxygen levels (SpO2) at all times. With the HUAWEI Band 6, not only do you get a constant monitoring of these factors, but you can also view it in its large 1.47 inch AMOLED display.

Speaking of large displays, the HUAWEI Band 6’s display sets it apart from other smart bands: the overall large size allows for more screen space and an immersive experience. This means you can view all your notifications, health and fitness alerts and more on your smart band itself, all while not having to spend the extra money for a full-fledged smartwatch.

Another feature that you are going to depend on is battery life: While some of us leave devices charging over night or charge them only when needed, there is the risk of forgetting to charge it entirely. Huawei solves this pain point with a long lasting battery life on the HUAWEI Band 6, which can last for two whole weeks on a single charge. Basically this means you don’t need to charge it as much as other devices and you are always ready to go!

However, even with all these changes, the core purpose of a smart band doesn’t change, which is in fact its fitness tracking capabilities: HUAWEI Band 6 packs in 96 workout modes that are automatically detected and tracked to get accurate data during performance. Huawei also includes the HUAWEI TruSport^TM algorithm, which deeply analyzes your exercise capabilities and provides detailed assessments such giving you a more comprehensive report of your progress.

With users today depending more on their wearable devices for being on top of their health and everyday alerts, it is no surprise that key features like display and battery life play a vital role. While smartwatches usually have these features, their price point can make it a costly affair. The alternative is smart bands, which lack said features. However, with the HUAWEI Band 6, you get all the features you would see in a smartwatch, but for the more affordable price of a smart band, making it much more accessible for everyone.

Daraz Becomes Digital Streaming Partner for Asia Cup 2022 in Pakistan

Aug 11, 2022

As the Cricketing season is approaching quickly, the whole nation is eagerly anticipating the clash of the year, Pakistan v India on 28th August 2022, as the two teams go head to head in the group stages of Asia Cup 2022.

Daraz App, historically, has been the favourite destination for all Pakistani cricket lovers to stream cricket. ICC WC T20 fixture of India v Pakistan saw the highest concurrent viewers of 2.7 million, ever recorded on a Pakistani streaming platform, and the World Cup as a whole saw a total of 346 million viewers.

Cricket viewers and viewership, in general, have seen a major change in behaviour with most of the audience preferring to watch cricket online and giving the traditional mass-marketing TV Channels major competition. This new trend was due to the scheduling of matches at times when most people are commuting from work and have easy access to mobile phones rather than TV as well as power outages and load-shedding, in Pakistan, which stops them from viewing their favourite sport on TV via cable or satellite. As a result of this, we see an uplift in viewers logging in on Daraz to watch the men in green battle it out on the field.

Chief Marketing Officer of Daraz Pakistan, Muhammad Ammar Hassan, said “With more than 10 million monthly active users, Daraz is the 4th biggest platform for internet users, hence we thought to reignite the passion of cricket and bring the live action to the entire cricket loving Pakistani audience”.

Asia Cup 2022 will commence on the 27th of August, featuring 13 matches. Super 4 round will begin on 3rd September 2022, while the Final will take place on 11th September. Users can watch all the matches of the tournament through the Daraz App from anywhere in Pakistan without missing any moment of the tournament.

Why Trent Boult stepped away from International Cricket?

Trent Boult is arguably the best all-format fast bowler in this era, with Jasprit Bhumra and Shaheen Afridi. He is only 33 years old and has enough gas left in the tank to reach the coveted 400 wickets landmark in test cricket. However, he chose to give up that dream in order to spend more time with his family and make himself available for T20 leagues across the globe.

Boult had been in touch with New Zealand Cricket (NZC) for some time before his big announcement on Wednesday. He asked NZC to release him from his central contract so that he could spend more time with his family and make himself available for T20 leagues. NZC has complied with the fast bowler’s request and has granted his release, which “significantly reduced” his chances to represent New Zealand in international cricket. He will, however, complete the ongoing tour of the West Indies and is highly likely to be selected for the T20 World Cup in Australia.

MASSIVE NEWS in the context of proliferation of franchise cricket. Quite possible that Trent Boult will prefer ILT20 or some other franchise cricket around the time New Zealand will be touring Pakistan for Test series in Dec-Jan. More players likely to take this route in future. https://t.co/LxSGh9Xtp1

— Mazher Arshad (@MazherArshad) August 9, 2022

“This has been a really tough decision for me and I’d like to thank NZC for their support in getting to this point,” Boult said. “Playing cricket for my country was a childhood dream and I’m so proud of everything I’ve been able to achieve with the Black Caps over the past 12 years.”

He further added, “Ultimately this decision is about my wife Gert and our three young boys. The family has always been the biggest motivator for me and I feel comfortable with putting it first and preparing ourselves for life after cricket.”

Trent Boult has been taking time off every now and then, to be with his family and deal with injuries. However, his recent decision is motivated by the financial security provided by T20 Leagues, where he can spend time with his family while making good money in quick time.

NZC released a statement explaining that Boult had made it clear to NZC chief executive David White that his appetite for touring had diminished and he wished to spend more time with his family.

— ICC (@ICC) August 10, 2022

Boult has not retired from international cricket but he is likely to play a lot less for New Zealand. White confirmed that Boult was aware of the ramifications of his decision and that NZC would prioritize contracted players.

“We’ve had several conversations and I know Trent understands that, in terms of selection, NZC will continue to make a priority of those players with either central or domestic contracts,” White said.

33 years old fast bowler also acknowledge that his decision would certainly affect his future selection for New Zealand.

“I still have a big desire to represent my country and feel I have the skills to deliver at the international level,” he said. “However, I respect the fact that not having a national contract will affect my chances of selection.”

Trent Boult has played 78 Tests, 93 ODIs, and 44 T20Is, taking 317, 169, and 63 wickets respectively. He has won the inaugural World Test Championship, while he was part of the runners-up side in the ODI World Cups of 2015 and 2019, and T20 World Cup 2021. In an ideal world, with age, form, and fitness on his side, he could have given a shot to play for another three or four years to play 100 Tests and pick 400 wickets, joining Sir Richard Hadlee, the only New Zealander to pick 400 test wickets. However, he chose to prolong his T20 franchise cricket career, while spending significant time with his family. He is expected to join one of the new T20 leagues in either the UAE or South Africa.

The plethora of T20 leagues in this era has affected international cricket in a big way, with players like Ben Stokes and Trent Boult stepping away from one format or another. There have been cases of players taking early retirement to give more time to T20 leagues, than hectic international tours.

Are we heading towards seeing a shorter international career for players in near future?#CricTracker #TrentBoult #QuintonDeKock #Cricket #HarshaBhogle pic.twitter.com/GFUEHXiAbX

— CricTracker (@Cricketracker) August 10, 2022

In a T20 league, a player can generate more money than the value of the central contract in a month or two that a league season lasts, have a stable base from which to travel with your family and enjoy a more entertaining experience overall. With T20 leagues stacking the annual calendar, more players will likely step away from international cricket citing workload balance in near future.

The ICC stands awkwardly in the middle of this disastrous situation, trying to spread cricket as fairly as possible while being constrained by the decision-making member boards that seek to maximize profits with more T20 leagues. Although that may not be what the boards or ICC want to hear, the cricket schedule is rapidly approaching its limit.

Multitasking is also more intuitive, thanks to new swipe gestures. Instantly switch full-screen apps to pop-up windows or split your screen in half for more ways to multitask.

Samsung’s partnerships with Google and Microsoft take multitasking to the next level. Google apps, including Chrome and Gmail now support drag-and-drop, allowing users to quickly copy and paste links, photos and more from one app to another. With Google Meet, users can now connect with more people while enjoying virtual co-activities, including co-watching videos on YouTube or playing games together on a video call.

And with the larger pixel size, a 23 percent brighter sensor, and enhanced processing power, users can capture clear images even at night.

Content is even more immersive and distinctive on the 7.6-inch Main Screen with a brighter screen, a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, and a less visible Under Display Camera (UDC) featuring a new scatter-type sub-pixel arrangement. Popular social media apps like Facebook are optimized for the large-screen experience to make content more enjoyable. Or open your favorite streaming entertainment service apps like Netflix and watch hands-free with Flex mode. For non-optimized apps, users can even control the device without disrupting the content with the new Flex Mode Touchpad, offering accuracy while pausing, rewinding, and playing videos, or zooming in and out of content while the device is in Flex mode.

Games are snappier too thanks to the powerful Snapdragon® 8+ Gen 1 Mobile Platform and hyper-fast 5G. With a slimmer hinge, lighter weight, and even narrower bezels, the wider screen enables easier one-handed interactions while using the Cover Screen.

Samsung continues its barrier-defying innovation journey to deliver the level of durability consumers expect, both in and out. With our Armor Aluminum frames and hinge cover along with exclusive Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus®+ on the Cover Screen and rear glass, Z Flip4 and Z Fold4 are our toughest foldables ever. Durability of the Main Screen panel is also enhanced thanks to the optimized layer structure, helping to reduce damage from external shock.

Galaxy for the Planet

Since the launch of the Galaxy S22 series, Samsung has incorporated recycled materials not just in our packaging, but also in the hardware of our new products. These are the first steps in our Galaxy for the Planet initiative, which includes our continued incorporation of recycled plastics and the creation of new materials in partnership with leading sustainability partners. As we continue to pursue innovations in sustainable manufacturing, we are proud to announce that more than 90% of the new Galaxy Buds2 Pro is made with recycled materials. The new Galaxy Z series also incorporates ocean-bound plastics into key components and 100 percent recycled paper for its packaging. We also reduced volume of the packaging up to 58% compared to the first-generation Galaxy foldables. This equates to an avoidance of approximately 10,000 tons of carbon emissions from transportation this year.

Availability

Galaxy Z Flip4 complements users’ styles with premium designs in legacy colors: Bora Purple and Graphite, and new colors: Pink Gold and Blue. The expanded Galaxy Z Flip4 Bespoke Edition now available in 28 countries worldwide.

Aug 11, 2022

SnackVideo announced it acquired the ISO/IEC 27701 and ISO/IEC 27001 certification in China and several other countries in Latin America, Southeast and South Asia, and the Middle East.

ISO/IEC 27701 and ISO/IEC 27001 is an international standard on how to manage information security. ISO/IEC 27701 is a privacy extension to ISO/IEC 27001 with additional requirements in order to establish, implement, maintain, and continually improve a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS).

Calvin Liu, head of SnackVideo Compliance, Communication Experience and Partnership says: This certification reflects SnackVideo’s social responsibility and commitment to user information security, marking that SnackVideo has reached the international advanced level.

The ISO/IEC 27701 and ISO/IEC 27001 detail requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving an information security management system (ISMS). It’s primary aim is to help organizations safeguard and protect their assets.

The independent third-party auditor performed a series of careful checks to confirm that SnackVideo’s controls, global security, and risk operations met the highest standards. These were done to evaluate how the platform protects its development, infrastructure, operations, and services, ISO 27001 requires that management:

Systematically monitor the organisation’s information security risks, taking account of the weaknesses, threats, and their effects;
Design and implement a well-organised and comprehensive chamber of information security controls and/or other forms of risk treatment (such as ways to avoid and transfer risk) to address those risks that are deemed unacceptable; and
Adopt an overarching management process to ensure that the information security controls continue to meet the organisation’s information security needs on a daily basis.

Zhang Hua, head of Kuaishou Information Security says, “Achieving the ISO 27701 and 27001 certification is another step in our comprehensive security journey. SnackVideo will continue to increase investment in the field of information security, strengthen privacy security protection, continuously improve itself with technological and management innovation, deepen the construction of an information security compliance system, and provide users with more secure and credible services.

Aug 11, 2022

Lahore: The wait is over! Bilal Lashari’s magnum opus – the most anticipated film of Pakistan, “The Legend of Maula Jatt” has an official release date now. The first teaser poster gives a glimpse of the iconic Gandasa, with a release date of 13th October. This date has finally been revealed after much speculation by the fans about various dates in the past few days.

The Legend of Maula Jatt is by far the most expensive film to come out of Pakistan. This intense and epic hero origin story, with a screenplay by Bilal Lashari and dialogues by Nasir Adeeb, is a hard reboot of the 1979 cult classic ‘Maula Jatt’. The film is directed by Bilal Lashari, known for his directorial debut, the box office megahit film ‘Waar’ and produced by Ammara Hikmat under the joint venture of Encyclomedia & Lashari films in association with AAA Motion Pictures. The filmmakers have partnered with Geo Films as their presenting partner, the largest media group, and a key contributor to the revival of cinema in Pakistan.

Famous Clothing Brand In Question For ‘Stealing’ An Artist’s Work

A famous clothing brand has recently come under fire for stealing an artist’s hard work. The company used the artwork for piggyback marketing, using Arshad Nadeem’s latest win as a way to boost their sales. Even this wasn’t enough— they stole an artist’s rendition of the Olympic gold-medal winner. Here’s what’s going down:

What Happened?

A brand by the name of H&S apparel put out a deal to celebrate Arshad Nadeem’s latest win. They put up an artistic post with the javelin thrower inviting him to shop for free goodies worth Rs.50,000. This, according to them, is to support new talent and encourage him. This has happened many times— whenever our cricketers win something, they are given free vouchers and deals at places.

A marketing strategy at best and a failed theft at worse! H&S apparel had no idea that whoever’s artwork they stole would speak up about it.

Stealing Artwork

The artwork is by Mubarak who runs his page called Mubarak’s art. He posted his artwork on his site and page and H&S apparel thought they could steal it. Having seen this theft, the rightful owner of the art has been rallying support on social media to help him.

The problem is that H&S apparel first refused to admit that they stole the artwork. Then they said that the artwork was on a website that is loyalty and copyright free. However, as compensation, they have offered him a Rs.10,000 prize. The reason behind it? To support new talent.

Has The Issue Been Solved?

The issue is still not solved because the clothing brand is refusing to admit that they have stolen a hardworking artist’s work. Distributing cash prizes does not work. Moreover, why would they agree to give a cash prize if they haven’t stolen his work? All this seems very fishy and it also seems that they’re trying to cover this up as goodwill.

Let’s see where Mubarak reaches with the support and power of social media!

Burger King Customers Confused After Receiving A Blank Order Receipt

Aug 11, 2022

Burger King has confused a whole group of people by emailing them a blank receipt with many joking that they’ve made a ‘Whopper’ of a mistake.

In the early hours of 9th August, customers started receiving emails saying ‘thanks for ordering from Burger King’ – even though they hadn’t placed an order.

But when they opened the messages, they faced an utterly blank statement, causing a great deal of confusion.

Burger King Hacked?

An “internal processing error” is responsible for a bunch of blank receipts. The sender of the receipt was an official Burger King email account when emails were placed overnight into Tuesday morning. A representative for Burger King confirmed to Nexstar. The number of the recipients is unclear, but according to the reports, thousands got the emails in error.

Hey @BurgerKing, we ever gonna acknowledge your weird blank order from last night? pic.twitter.com/xqn4gwdnjZ

— KyonKyun (@kamanashi) August 10, 2022

“Thank you for ordering from Burger King!” reads a message included with the receipt. “Your order will be ready to be picked up at Burger King located at [blank].”

The order information listed within the emailed receipt was also wholly blank.

Twitter Reacts

The email recipients took to Twitter to share the details regarding the emails. “Did anyone get a blank Burger King receipt in their email? I’m just curious. I never eat there,” one user said

i just got a completely blank burger king receipt in my email. it is 12:30 in the morning and i did not order burger king. i do not think i have EVER ordered burger king. this is so menacing pic.twitter.com/QvjhdPcEO3

— jaz 🌧 ~ (@refasolfa) August 9, 2022

Hey @BurgerKing why did everybody & their grandmother get this email at once?

You stressed me out. Thought someone might have hacked my account and placed an order.

Even my roommate got one. #BurgerKing pic.twitter.com/uBFGQtjb56

— Fat Gay Disabled Leftist (@fatgaydisabled) August 9, 2022

Burger King immediately took notice of the error as they responded to multiple customer queries on Twitter, saying, “Thank you for reaching out. We are aware of the issue and are investigating internally.”

Hi. Thank you for reaching out. We are aware of the issue and are investigating internally. https://t.co/x3nIBXxbfa

— Burger King (@BurgerKing) August 10, 2022

Burger King representative says that an “internal processing error” was responsible for the blank receipts.

However, they declined to comment whether the emails were sent only to customers who signed up for the Burger King app or perhaps a broader email database. Meanwhile, it did not immediately appear that any email recipients had been charged or their information had been compromised.

At meanwhile, users can experience the physics engine-powered wallpapers co-developed by OPPO and Tai Chi for the amazing effects.

OPPO will also demonstrate its latest technical progress in ray tracing with the Physray Engine 2.0. The new engine integrates more advanced ray tracing capabilities, including OPPO-exclusive ray tracing effects, a global rendering pipeline, and full path tracing. These new capabilities will also be available to all developers in the near future. At the show, OPPO will also showcase War Zone, a large action game scene based on the Physray Engine 2.0, and an animation that demonstrates the capabilities of full path tracing on mobile.

OPPO Heterogeneous Computing System

OPPO has long been investing in heterogeneous computing technology to explore heterogeneous software applications using different processing cores. OPPO’s heterogeneous computing technology is designed for performance and power optimization, helping developers better solve application performance problems and develop programs that run faster and more efficiently. At SIGGRAPH 2022, OPPO will showcase the latest gaming demos run on its heterogeneous computing system, which migrates all 2D rendering from the GPU to the DSP, reducing power consumption while optimizing system load. In terms of high-performance computing, OPPO will also introduce its self-developed lightweight and efficient inference framework and will demonstrate a video format conversion tool based on the technology.

Why Is Comfort Zone Bad For Your Career ?

By

-

Aug 10, 2022

There is no such thing as comfortable growth, and if you are in a comfort zone in a work environment, you are sabotaging your chances of career development. While most like the sense of familiarity with a specific setting – it is not ideal if you want to expose yourself to new settings acclaimed for your growth.

Research suggests that you can significantly increase your productivity, creativity, and ability to cope with change by stepping out of your comfort zone and doing things that give you a healthy amount of anxiety.

Reasons For Staying In A Comfort Zone

A comfort zone is relatively uncomplicated – routine work procedures pose no big challenge. In a branch where one feels familiar, there are rarely any surprises and very little that can make you break a sweat. It’s exceptionally comfortable. On the other hand, he who leaves his professional comfort zone is automatically confronted with new hurdles and challenges.

The fear of losing control can also keep us from leaving our professional comfort zones. No one likes the idea of failing at new tasks. But as they say, nothing ventured, nothing gained! Facing new challenges is part of our further professional development. Don’t think of it as a new opportunity to fail, but focus on the possibilities afforded by a new area of expertise.

Why Should Comfort Zones Be Avoided?

The desire to improve, the definition of new goals, and your tenacity and endurance make who you can be applied to everyday work. Think about your professional situation over the last year – are you satisfied? Which goals did you set – did you achieve them? When you commit and continually expand your horizon, you’re signalling your motivation for your next career move and raising your value.

Usually, in your comfort zone, there is a system that works that you are used to, and you can almost always control the outcome. Here’s the bummer, though: You cannot grow while following a path that is already familiar. You won’t learn much from experiences and events when they are the same all day. There is no room for mistakes, and mistakes are what help us learn.

Scientific evidence confirms that learning centres in your brain shut down once you get used to doing something. In other words, repetition bores your brain. It’s like riding a bike. Once you’ve learned, you always know what to do with your feet and how to balance. The story changes entirely when you drive for the first time. Your brain realizes it is in unfamiliar territory and kicks into learning mode. By leaving your comfort zone, you change perspectives and give your mind a chance to grasp new concepts and processes.

Women 21% Less Likely Than Men To Be Online

By

-

Aug 10, 2022

Our world has undergone a historic moment of change. Since the pandemic’s beginning, our lives and societies have been more digital than ever before, shifting the paradigm of our economies from the physical to the digital space. Access to equal opportunities for women has become the talk of the generation. COVID-19 also added fuel to the fire and increased the existing digital gender divide, setting equality between men and women back a generation.

Digital Accessibility For Women

According to data, men are 52% more likely to have access to the internet than women in the world’s least developed countries. The percentage reduced to 21% in developed countries, which is still a significant difference.

The lack of access for women to the digital world leads to a string of tremendous consequences and sometimes the most crucial ones. Giving internet access and equipment is one thing, however, access to qualified education and training is another. Knowing that 85% of jobs in 2030 don’t exist yet and will derive from new technologies, we realize how important it is to have women enter the industry.

The impact of COVID-19 also served a significant role. Ever since the pandemic hit, the transition from the regular world to a more digital world became a significant impact factor. In most parts of the world, students can’t keep up with their education due to a lack of resources and access to laptops and gadgets.

There’s a paradox at the heart of online learning. The people most likely to benefit from it are also the least likely to have access to it. This is especially true for women, who are disproportionately affected by the digital divide.

Bridging The Digital Gap

The ICT specialists at the world economic forum are bridging the gap between women and digital accessibility via four primary areas focusing on education, business, digital inclusion, and advocacy. Their roadmap is ambitious: growing by 25 chapters annually for the next three years, to be present in 100 countries by the end of 2024.

This ICT has joined the World Economic Forum’s EDISON Alliance – a global movement of leaders from the public and private sectors committed to prioritizing digital inclusion so every person can affordably participate in the digital economy. Through the 1 Billion Lives Challenge, Women in Tech has committed to empowering 1 million women and girls in STEM through skilling, mentorship, advocacy, and community support by 2025.

Belfast

Belfast follows the other side of the grass compared to what Derry Girls has been showing since three years. The movie is a love story set in black and white times and it’s supposed to be super charming. Are you a love-movie kind of a person?
