Li-Fi: IEEE Standard 802.15.7

Number of internet devices using wireless communication is increasing day-by-day and situation might come in near future where Wi-Fi alone would not be sufficient to service all wireless communication needs while delivering the same speed and performance. Then we will have to look for alternatives!
One such alternative solution is provided by German physicist Dr. Harald Hass, who in 2011 demonstrated that by flickering light from an LED one could transmit large amount of data. This technology is called Li-Fi or light fidelity and it refers to visible light communication.
As we know in Wi-Fi, data is transmitted using radio frequency waves while in the case of Li-Fi visible light from LED source and optical wireless networking technology is used for data transmission. Just like Wi-Fi specifications are defined by IEEE 802.11, IEEE 802.15.7 is a standard for short range wireless communication using visible light...

Future Money: Cryptocurrency

Cryptocurrency is becoming very popular and is a global phenomenon of doing transactions these days. Many people and institutions are still developing their understanding of it, some are skeptical about it and yet many are evaluating the importance of cryptocurrency. But one thing is sure that it has taken both technology world and financial world by storm. Satoshi Nakamoto the creator of cryptocurrency actually aimed at building a decentralized peer-to-peer electronic cash system without any server or central authority. Cryptocurrency was basically an outcome of this invention by Satoshi Nakamoto which he named as Bitcoin.
Actually in the centralized payment system, there is a server that keeps the record of balances & transactions so as to ensure that no single entity spend same amount twice. In the absence of centralized server every single entity in the network has to have a record of all transactions...
