A microscopic bug has brought the Global Economy to its knees and forced change whether we like it or not is remote the new real when it comes to your personal life that 1st date can be so all quit surely the digital version will take the pressure out of it out of being there in person you can control the situation much better fix the lighting to suit your needs even have a few lines written down in front of you although i wouldnt recommend that you can get a good look at the other person before feeling forced into committing to anything the catch is that the other person can just as well brutally hang up without the uneasiness of getting up and walking away but there are other pros and cons of course. The the advantage of dating apps is you know the person on your screen is single and looking for someone you dont have that in real life. Good know that it Online Dating is becoming completely normal in recent years absolute normal people. Of course its very superficial and i think. Thats. All the small talk is well intentioned its a way of finding Common Ground but it doesnt help against loneliness john burns is single and started using a dating app jamming the pandemic. Would have made i dont think id use tinder so much if it werent for our current circumstances. After a while you lose interest with you dont want this endless visual input anymore. You want to be able to interact and you cant do that so quickly with a nap. Id always prefer a real meeting. That can land of the free i like and let me know where. My sons on tinder its usually the man who asked direct 1st. Its good if you can think of something witty or even worse way to say hello something cool if you fancy you have to set yourself apart from the others theres always a competitive element on. The companys behind dating apps such as joy right here in gemini up in maine. We have 7 dating apps the main one is joy right joy right. Theyve been downloaded more than 100000000 times and between 6080000 new users register every day talk on the quizzes d. V. D. Volume is definitely an important factor that holds for also show. Media all social apps. If you dont have enough members or enough new members there might not be anyone to write to nobody suitable of the right age or nearby you need that critical mass. That was and. Is the Global Market leader with a whole range of dating apps and revenues of close to 2 and a half 1000000000. 00 over the past 12 months. The c. E. O. Has seen the stock price more than double over the same period. We are getting at and ive never spent any money on dating apps. So in general i dont pay for apps its not a great loss in effect and. I dont really believe theyd make a difference. For a while i added a new function to my account which let me find people again that id swiped away perhaps more quickly than i should have. Up i tried it out but found i didnt really need it but still it was worth a try. If things go well did you tell preliminaries lead to real life which calls for a bit of creativity in times of social distancing. We know see the trend that people are maintaining fewer but more intensive contacts. Used to be the case with dating apps that in order to score data people would keep a lot of potential candidates on the backburner. During a Strict Lockdown the only real option is to meet outdoors wearing a mask and keeping your distance and perhaps have a Takeaway Coffee or mulled wine and chalk. Yeah there is the only real option but on the whole it works pretty well. Also youre standing there on the street hi. How are you. And its weird and it doesnt feel quite right. Thats not authentic. Think many people probably feel that way right now. As long as the pandemic drags on people might well be turning to dating apps but them want will use a swing back in the flash back to a more analogue getting to know you way of life. Were not expecting any slump in business peoples dating behavior is changed. Very very popular before the pandemic. So i think theyre here to stay and will continue to develop. A colleague turned around to work the other day in the kitchen and said. I took a step back thinking she was going to hug me of course she didnt she was just excited to see someone in person again after talking to such a little face in a box on the screen for weeks on end i was quite fine with it im not a fan of squeezing into a tiny room with sweaty work mates for a meeting but staring into a computer for hours and hours can be draining there are some ways of making it fun although it has taken a long time for the technology to catch on as much of a common reports. And you can hear me sorry i was on mute is that better now how is that is that. Said ok yeah this is our life now but at least as everyones video calling people spend less time doing this. And. So i was wondering could this actually help slow Climate Change can we do more than just remote meetings. And what does the video call of the future like. Here in space. Lets take you to. Point to point. Talking face to face while being on completely different places. This idea has actually been floating around for quite a while. And im not just talking about psycho films and pop culture from the last century. Im talking about the 1800s. The 1st commercial video telephone came around way sooner than i would have expected the picture from was supposed to reduce nice business meetings but adjusted for inflation it cost up to around 1000. 00 u. S. Dollars per month for it for the hobby only got 30 minutes of call time when you called it was super expensive back then the gadgets were pretty clunky and no one really had one anyway so you want to call. The internet it turned video calling into a mass market. With kept increasing ince Companies Like sky have brought the technology to millions of people and then well 4 of ours pandemic flu virus that could all nobodys crisis people all over the world are working from home. The grown a pandemic was a watershed moment for video calling i cant even begin to think how much time ive spent in this fox since the pandemic started along with lots and lots of other people. Download figures for video calling apps went through the roof jumped from around 30000000 and 2019 to almost 500000000 and 2020 and its competitors the number of search. And wild video calling really started taking off. And its left the industry really really fragile and really really struggling moment this is Richard Masur hes an analyst for cap an Aviation Research firm. I dont think any airline in any one of the aviation sector really realized. Current virus would actually have industry over the last year the Airline Industry had grown tremendously in. And then it crashed pardon the pun its very unlikely things will just go back to normal especially of business travelers start flying again theyre the ones who usually drive revenues by buying last minute tickets and paying for premium seats the pandemic showed us we can meet colleagues and Business Partners anywhere without actually leaving our homes and sure thats bad news for airlines but its good news for the climate video communication or telepresence whatever you want to call it. Has an enormous potential role in reducing Greenhouse Gas emissions this is Paul Dickinson hes the founder of the Carbon Disclosure Project is a climate nonprofit and hes been pretty passionate about Video Conferencing for 24 years i was studying Information Technology. I suddenly realized that video could use contentiously human to transport for commuting to. Office or maybe having a consultation or business meeting and i made a list of all her occupations in the world and i reckon about half of them could be done by video when you remove half of human journeys to remove half of the emissions from essentially passenger. Rail transport and of course air transport. Passenger travel makes up around 13 percent of all human emissions so were calling to pause estimates by replacing traveled with video we could slice this figure in half but then of course video calling also uses energy and creating that energy creates emissions yes there are growing emissions from Information Technology and we need to Pay Attention to those but they are absolutely tiny in comparison to the enormous emissions from transport if i was to have a physical meeting with you now youre in germany. Then again the physical emissions from us meeting would be much much much more than 99 percent higher than the video paul and i talked for about 45 minutes i get my internet via copper cable which according to a recent study means that Data Processing and transmission created about 3 grams of c o 2 on a return flight from berlin to london i would have cost 287 grams so 187000 grams of emissions but what will happen after the pandemic where we just start driving to work flying again like before or will we actually keep meeting on life so i think moving forward we will see some substitution maybe he will have less business trips but i will be Better Business trips to remain lot more but they will be a lot less in number it feels to me like a turning of the tide i think weve reached peak transport i think were the last generation to do this. Its about into transport particularly commuting there doesnt seem to be any reason for us to do all this trouble but you know im just tired of talking to people through a screen all day its just not the same as meeting in real life. In fact video calls are really quite exhausting for us our brains missed the cues they get from body language they feel overwhelmed by all the faces staring at us and country deal with flags and sound and video but people are already working on improving online meetings so im about to meet the founder of needs of the art but not in boring to dimensional video called bots in Virtual Reality lets see how that goes if you do that its my virtual meet and avatar the Company Created from a photo. Good to see you here welcome to media so this is our Interview Room we have coffee we have coffee which is warm all the time so if you are you basically have you know you dont have the limitations of reality so we are looking at every single interaction which you have normally in meetings and trying to make them even more intuitive and more efficient and effective than in real life and we can do this because if you are you can actually have super powers for example theres always a pen behind you here but you havent been in the real world and just try to get a pen from behind you know Something Like i did. Both times actually yes and its so weird when you purposely go on to make a quick sketch and then always im loving meeting with you know so thats when i feel like maybe asians a little more time in the real world as well. Chris predicts our lives who move into Virtual Reality more and more in the next few years. Some corporations from the u. S. Already using median v. O. R. To let the employees collaborate to find that paul brainstorm. But theres also companies who want to use media of the r. To prison. Their products better for their customers and offer a more memorable and more engaging experience basically every time somebody tries an experience like this its. Emotional connection. Which youre building with the other participants and the experience itself is much stronger than anything you would be able to achieve through a video. And i must say thats true at least for me. I mean im aware the whole time that this is just an illusion but i feel like im bonding with chris by the way this is what he looks like in real life. In the future we will actually be able to have our facial expressions are brought as well and we will in a way be represented like holograms of ourselves so you will be able to have an exact replica of yourself in a Virtual Reality just like you do in a video call and in addition to that have all the body language and the feeling of presence so thats extremely exciting to look into that. Thanks to good luck and hope for a. While so crazy to do this way just a few seconds ago. Yeah. Science fiction of just a few decades ago is quickly becoming reality holograms that can be transmitted live copy of you are already a thing and they are telepresence robots ok some might say theyre just tablets on wheels but they allow people to actually move around and take up physical space somewhere else. And yes even surgeries already being done remotely and this is especially you really want to make sure your Internet Connection a stable we need to build the foundation we need to get fiber optic cable. Into every hole in the world as quickly as possible because building ever more roads and ever more cars and ever more airports is not a sustainable solution to increasing our communications we must. Transport our our hearts our souls our presence and not ourselves. But whats so wrong about transporting ourselves if its done the way captain kirk would have done it beat me up scotty was the famous line from star trek you dont need gasoline for that trip i guess but not all the ideas from Science Fiction shows managed to become reality although my colleague reckons you shouldnt bet on that. A long time ago when space ships were made of paper plastic. And it snowed pounded alum in yemen cheering the dean materialization process people and things were magically beamed about in star trek films. How nice would it be if we could be in ourselves around the globe teleportation instead of an airplanes in c o 2 emissions think about how beneficial it would be for the climate alone in todays physics and facts teleportation is no longer Science Fiction. You can go to im always surprised about all the weird things that happen for the. My one year hot is a quantum physicist at the Austrian Academy of sciences his excursions into space travel and just a hobby what he explores the weird and Wonderful World of teleportation of quantum teleportation to be precise. Having watched our trek for instance people imagine that you somehow beam matter or even energy because thats how its done on the show that people disappear in the transporter and then reappear on an alien planet when. The similarity is that the system rebuilds the object identically in another place. Whats more at the exact same time or instantaneously regardless of the distance involved thats how the quantum world works via Quantum Entanglement einstein thought it was pretty spooky transferring information faster than the speed of light so does this mean travelling not only with 0 emissions but also with 0 delay. Because what happens with quantum teleportation is that really just the quantum information in this system is transferred to another place onto another identical system. With the matter itself atoms or photons or whatever its made of does not get transferred so it doesnt disappear. But what does disappear is the information it gets destroyed. So if 2 quanta are connected this way they can Exchange Information without a moments delay but not the matter it really is just the information. Ok couldnt i just split myself into quanta and sent their information to another entangled Quantum Cloud i mean then i would just need to be reassembled correctly right. Lets just say that right now we dont know of anything that would fundamentally speak against it but it would have to work in a completely different way. Well need completely different set ups than what were creating now. If i could build a device that could do this and youd ask me whether i would put myself inside it id say no. So mr spock would probably have to get beamed in a glittery shower of aluminum grey like in the old days. And dont forget the enterprise at least sped through the universe powered by an anti matter and Hydrogen Engine with not even a whiff of emissions. By the way a piece of trivia for you the words you me up scotty were never said precisely in better form in the star trek sirius maybe it will work with beam me aboard. Ok thats totally new to me but i just googled it and shes right you learn something new every day now to a real work in progress my colleague all of you go whos been locked away in his home office for a little too long i believe someones really got to go around to check out how paul of coming along i think is starting to talk to him self side of madness but all of these virtual changes can be overwhelming. If been very right there another day of online chatting. Shit. And who saw online just me and some important people im so important ok here we go again. Hi its me nice to see you guys. Who.
