2. The Internet of Everything (IoE) was, and is continuing to be a hot topic in the tech space. noHold Connect, the evolution of Confederated Knowledge™, is revolutionizing the way humans experience the IoE from a single user interface.
3. noHold's CEO, Diego Ventura, was published in an interview in Connect World Magazine, followed by a feature on the Peggy Smedley Show, the voice of M2M and connected devices. Alongside Diego was special guest Glenn Schleicher, Senior Director of Customer Service of Cisco. Together, they discussed the IoE, Artificial Intelligence, and how noHold fits into the equation.

BREAKING NEWS: Artificial Intelligence is Taking Over the World!

With all the talk about the recent radio show noHold had
that opportunity to be a part of, I thought it would be appropriate to celebrate one of
the great inventions of the late 1800’s…the radio! Today, August 20th,
is recognized as National Radio Day. While many don’t know about this ‘unofficial’
holiday, the radio was a huge milestone in technology, and especially for wireless
communication. It was a way for World news to be distributed to the masses; and
back then, most people believed what was said over the radio without a doubt.
(It’s not like they had many sources to fact check). One of the most infamous moments
in Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) history was the 1938 War of the Worlds scare.
Orson Welles went
on the Mercury Theatre on the Air and
acted as if the World was being invaded by Martians (a disclaimer at the beginning confirmed it was not real). While printed press made
it seem like millions of people around the World were terrified and believed an
invasion was underway, the newspaper industry actually over exaggerated the scare as a ploy to make
radio look untrustworthy and dangerous for the public. Sources say that only few were listening and even fewer believed it (The Myth of the War of the Worlds Panic).
Whether the 'Alien Invasion' scare was true or a fabrication, it is still one of the most talked about radio moments in history and it ties in with something Diego mentioned on the Peggy Smedley Show. He explains that he foresees endless possibilities for the future of Artificial Intelligence, and more and more, we will begin to see A.I. in parts of our daily life. He gave the example about a standard scanner with a small display and a few buttons progressing into an expanded User Interface (UI) through the use of A.I. technology (Virtual Agent applications). In the future, we will be able to have more intuitive human to machine interactions thanks to Artificial Intelligence. If you want to listen to the entire episode, please follow this link to the archived episodes. Note: Diego joins conversation in segment 2, 'Interaction with the Internet of Things.'
What is your opinion on the future of A.I.? Are we going to be 'invaded' by Artificial Intelligence, or do you welcome this kind of disruptive technology?

A Look Back at noHold's Top Stories of the Week: August 11th-15th
This has been a busy week for everyone here at noHold, but it was very exciting nonetheless. This week we only have one top story that takes the cake, and that is Diego being featured on the Peggy Smedley Show.
On Tuesday, August 12th, Diego joined the Peggy Smedley Show along with Glenn Schleicher from Cisco to discuss Artificial Intelligence, Virtual Agents and the Internet of Everything (IoE). If you missed the live show, or would like to listen again, you can find the recorded version here. Be sure to begin listening at "Interaction with the Internet of Things" and continue listening through the fourth segment, "Cisco and the Internet of Everything."
"By connecting our Virtual Agents to wearable tech, it was not just to prove that we could connect to wearable devices, but that we (noHold) can connect to any device; for example, a sophisticated Cisco router. The sky is the limit. More and more, Artificial Intelligence will exist in many parts of our life. Today, it might be the way you interact (the User Interface) with a device or scanner; in the future, you can expect to see Virtual Agent-like applications that can connect instantly and will expand (change) the User Experience to be much more interactive. This will revolutionize the design of products." - Diego Ventura, CEO of noHold.
Thanks for listening.

Didn't Get a Chance to Catch the Peggy Smedley Show? Check It Out on Demand
Yesterday, our CEO had the privilege to be featured on one of the most reputable radio shows for M2M and connected devices, the Peggy Smedley Show. Alongside was Glenn Schleicher, Sr. Director of Customer Service at Cisco. Together, Diego and Glenn, put on a great show, sharing their knowledge and forward-thinking about the Internet of Everything (IoE).
We just wanted to take the time to say thank you to everyone that was able to tune in to the show. It was a great opportunity to let listeners know what noHold is doing and how important it is, especially as we getting deeper into the IoE. If you did not get a chance to catch the show, but would still like to hear their thought-provoking discussion, please follow the link to archived episodes and click on episode #333. There you will find four segments, Diego joins the conversation in the second segment, 'Interaction with the Internet of Things' and continues into the subsequent segments.
In today's market, Diego believes the sky is the limit for Artificial Intelligence. It is apparent that A.I. is becoming apart of our daily lives already (i.e. Siri, Watson, GoogleNow, etc.) and it will only get more advanced in the future. Now, with things being connected to the Internet by the second, A.I. can help manage all those 'things.' During the discussion, Peggy mentions that Cisco said, "99% of things in the physical world are still not connected to the Internet, but by 2020, 37 billion intelligent things will be connected to the Internet." With so many connected devices, it is going to be imperative to leverage A.I. to simplify the complexities.

Glenn joined the discussion and mentioned that there is a new level of challenges that comes with the Internet of Everything -updating software, troubleshooting problems, higher volumes of customers etc.- but by designing self-service (Virtual Agents) that can handle these complex interactions, the Internet of Everything is a very tangible concept for the near future.

Throwback Thursday: 1983 'Compact' Laptop
"These days, technology is all screen-touch-this and Bluetooth-that. Remember when tech products used to really be state of the art? From the sweet joystick on the Atari 2600 to the compact Apple IIe personal computer, relieve the glory days of gadgets past." RetroGrade from Wired.com is a video series that showcases old-school technologies. They have a few interesting videos including technologies such as camcorders, handheld video games, and more. Check out this episode from the series: The Portable LCD-286 PC Computer.
It is interesting to see the progression of these devices. Take this video for example, the generation has moved from floppy disks to the cloud; from basic screens to HD touch-screen capabilities, from limited support options to interactive self-service solutions.
What do you envision for the future of 'compact' devices?
