Yes, Zoom! A corono, COVID-19 explosion! Yes, it appears that way, the resonating and acoustic pattern of an atomic bomb, the emerging and high quality cutting edge sound of an enterprise breakthrough in business profitability as a result of the new, unseen and destructive virus. This is how Zoom founder and CEO, Eric Yuan has decimated the corporate scene with a whopping $4 billion in approximate income in 3 months as a result of his video conferencing software.

Yuan’s company has had the pleasure of transitioning from about 10 million users before the pandemic to about 200 million users in the month of March 2020 (Murphy 2020). The author indicated that a large volume of the new participants are free accounts comprising academic institutions, community groups and other individuals just hosting small team meetings. Patnaik (2020) shared that over 90,000 institutions from 20 nations commenced using Zoom in under a month to hold classes online.

Technology Review – Miniature Lens

For our first posting we want to take a look at one of the top ten technologies that will be trending for some time to come we have provided a brief review and a link to the original article. The link below provides an insight into one of the top ten technologies currently changing the way we live, work or play in today’s world. We invite your review and comments from this article. The information on this specific technology involves a miniaturized lens that have several value added features that offers diverse benefits. Yes, you will discover that size does matter! Please commence firstly with my technology review below and click the link and enjoy…….

Any invention in healthcare will always have an indomitable appeal to a large sector of the population due to the ability and capability to concept and practicability of healing someone from illness, making inroads to improve general health or from the preventative angle of rebuffing and offering remedies that border on defensive models of healthcare processes and synergies. Thus, miniature optical devices can be subsumed in the innovative healthcare category. It may not be a panacea for curing vision but anything that offers a smaller version of itself is always applauded in the digitized world and given past experience has had its moments in attracting customers in droves. This convergence towards miniaturization cumulative calculus that leads to massive profitability.

The cross functional additional feature brought about to augment the present characteristics of “optical fibers” used in data communications and networks is certainly a value added component.  The “meta-lens” technology also has many alternative benefits that a small device would bring like the capacity to accommodate multiple lenses being fused together. In addition, the lens possessed the nuisance to concentrate “wavelengths” of white light into a single beam. Most of all the economic component of lower cost is the biggest attraction by itself, having that competitive advantage over the other alternatives.
