Mobile phones can become the gateway for viruses or cyberattacks through spam or malicious calls on a daily basis.

Google recommends protective measures for iOS and Android that are highly effective against the incursion of hackers and other digital pirates.

Specifically, they warn about the need to activate the caller ID for the Phone app, which launches an alert about a possible spam call when it is received.

The function helps to identify whether the incoming call is from known people or not, and whether it poses a potential threat to the user, who has the power to grant access to the call or directly block the number.

Through this app, it is possible to receive information about the number of the incoming call in a hidden manner in order to decide the next action regarding it.

Thanks to the new settings that Microsoft is testing for Windows, users of PCs and Android smartphones could share files and functions from Home Windows.

According to the company, what they seek is to provide greater “synergy between a Windows Home PC and a smartphone, allowing users to respond to text messages, receive and make calls, and check their phone notifications directly from the computer.”

It involves establishing a synchronization between a PC and an Android mobile phone with Home Windows through the Cellphone Hyperlink application. The functionality is part of the new internal Windows preview that Microsoft is testing. Now, clicking “Share” on a file “will bring up a quick share window showing the user’s Android phone that has been paired with the PC.”

This news was announced as part of the Beta Channel updates with Home Windows 11 Insider Preview Construct 22635.3785. It has been warned that they may take time to be available to all Home Windows 11 users.

But the innovations don’t stop there. “Other improvements being tested with Preview Construct include adjustments to the Home Windows Highlight feature, as well as other fixes for known issues. The update will make it easier for users to change images and interact with the Home Windows Highlight experience on the desktop.”

It is timely to remember that in May, a report from Home Windows Central claimed that the Cellphone Hyperlink application on Home Windows would soon get a “new optical character recognition (OCR) feature that would allow users to copy text from images.” It is a matter of hoping that the technology company will soon make the formal announcement of said change.

The pandemic has transformed the way people relate to their environment. At present, technology has a fundamental function, since advances, innovations and discoveries are faster every day. There is great expectation about how the lifestyle of people globally will be transformed in 2022.

Communications transformation

One of the most relevant events for 2022 is the expansion of Starlink, Elon Musk’s company, whose mission is to bring satellite internet to all remote areas of the world. This coupled with the 5G technology that is being developed in many countries will give immense power to the internet. Some analysts estimate that internet consumption will increase by more than 30 % worldwide, while online sales will increase by 100 %.

An important aspect to consider with the expansion of Starlink is the impact it could have on other mobile phone service providers in different countries, leading them to disappear because the antennas that currently provide the service are obsolete when compared to the Musk satellite company.

Another event of great importance, from a technological point of view, is the launch of the iPhone 14, considered the most powerful in history. It will have a 48-megapixel camera and record in 8K HDR, kicking off Apple’s new augmented reality project that will compete with Facebook’s metaverse.

For its part, Tesla plans to launch its first smartphone called PI by the end of 2022, which will surpass the iPhone in all its aspects. This new device could cost 3 times less than iPhone. Among its features it stands out that it will be compatible with Elon Musk’s satellite network; that is, you will never lose the signal anywhere in the world and users will never turn off roaming again in their life.

Additionally, it is believed to have the fastest processor of any phone in history. Also, some assure that it will be a great success in a very short time because everyone will want to have Starlink internet and satellite signal.

Technological revolution

For the first months of 2022, the companies Google, Amazon and IBM are expected to make the first computers with quantum technology available to the public. These mega computers perform in seconds the tasks that a conventional computer would perform in 10 thousand years.

Another event of great importance is related to the mission of the James Webb telescope, launched into orbit on December 25 and considered the most powerful telescope in history, which will allow us to observe the universe and provide the greatest knowledge about the solar system, the formation of stars, planets and the evolution of galaxies. As well as the search for atmospheres that harbor life, representing a milestone for the scientific community.

Innovation in the food sector

By 2022, the first non-animal edible meat is expected to be launched on the market. After many years of experiments, it has been possible to create artificial meat, without antibiotics or hormones, and unlike the current process of raising cattle, the production of this new meat does not pollute and is much healthier. It is estimated that by 2030 more than 10 % of the meat consumed worldwide will be artificial meat, helping to reduce global warming.

The company Strategy Analytics in its latest study determined that the companies Samsung and Apple are in a fervent struggle to occupy the first place in the distribution and sale of smartphones in North America.

The figures reveal that the producers of the iPhone have shown an important change, managing to significantly increase the volume of their shipments and reducing the existing gap with the South Koreans.

The Asians, with their Galaxy family, hold the first place with 38 % of the North American market, while Apple has 37 %, maintaining the same classification for the first half of the year.

The numbers from Strategy Analytics show that the companies Samsung, Apple, Motorola, Alcatel and Blu are fighting for leadership in sales. However, both Samsung and Apple are the strongest competitors. When comparing the information with the same 12-month period, the Apple company obtained a growth of 5 percentage points.

South Koreans generally maintain a large margin of advantage in their volume of shipments, which does not necessarily means that in the end they obtain the highest financial gains. But, apparently Apple was also on the verge of reaching them in that area if it were not for the “global crisis of shortage of components that we are experiencing today,” the company said.

The firm’s analysis considers that “LG’s exit from the market would have been the key factor in reconfiguring the current configuration.”

Apple reduced the production of its iPhone 13 phones by 10 million units from its initial forecasts due to the global shortage of processor supplies that affects the industry.

The American manufacturer cut its production plans for the device, initially marked at 90 million units and which have been adjusted by 80 million, as indicated by international media.

This decision is due to the fact that Apple’s processor component suppliers, Texas Instruments and Broadcomm, have not been able to provide sufficient supplies.

The elements that are scarce are destined to the elaboration of the circuits of the OLED screens of the new iPhone 13, as well as of the components of connectivity to the network.

These supply problems are part of the global shortage that affects the industry of semiconductors, used for the manufacture of processors and that affects brands and electronic devices around the world since mid-2020.

Scientists at the University of Newcastle in Australia are developing a method to measure glucose through saliva and thus avoid the prick that leaves a pinpoint of blood, considered the most effective way so far.

According to published information, the technique consists in that users would place a strip on their tongue and after waiting a few minutes they will be able to review the results that will be reflected in an application downloaded to a smartphone.

Paul Dastoor, professor of physics at Newcastle University in New South Wales and project leader, explains that the inspiration to find a new way to record blood sugar levels came from the school where his wife works as a primary school teacher, when he saw some children suffer from the puncture to obtain the drop of blood and measure their glucose.

The researcher believes that the method “really opens up the possibility of painless and inexpensive glucose testing. And hopefully there would be much better results for those with diabetes. The exciting prospect is that in the future we could have a diabetes test that does not involve stabbing ourselves four to six times a day.”

Dastoor explained that the presence of glucose in saliva is minimal, which is why highly accurate meters are required to achieve effectiveness.

He emphasizes that the strip is a biosensor that measures biological or chemical reactions generating signals, developing with a specific material to generate a reaction according to the levels of sugar in saliva by means of hydrogen peroxide.

This component is expressed in hydrogen ions that are responsible for generating an electrical signal that would be processed and displayed by an application on the smartphone.

The Australian government is allocating about 3.4 million dollars for this project, and once the clinical trials are approved, they will mass-produce the kits and encourage the download of the app they are going to develop. If the method is approved, it is estimated that the first productions would be coming out in 2023.

The new and revolutionary project of the telecommunications company ZTE is a remote health motorization service, based on wearable technology, totally textile, washable and easy to use. It is called YouCare, a shirt that can save lives using 5G technology.

This innovation is capable of detecting a large number of biovital parameters of the individual and transmitting them through smart mechanisms. It is based on the use of revolutionary textile devices, without metallic components and with sensors that are naturally crimped into the fabric.

YouCare is capable of “detecting biovital parameters, such as a real electrocardiogram, an analysis of the respiratory dynamics, sweat, muscle effort and body temperature, which have never been detected by textile sensors.”

The information is sent to a “miniaturized control unit that records the data, converts it into digital format and, finally sends it – thanks to 5G – to a bidirectional platform that transmits it to the user’s smartphone or smartwatch, as well as to a remote unit that analyzes the values ​​with the medical software”.

For the president of the Red Cross and the IFRC, Francisco Rocca, “it is an invention that will change the life and quality of home and remote medical care for many citizens who experience health problems and vulnerable people suffering from chronic diseases, guaranteeing accessibility to care services and the support of our national and international network.”

For its part, the telecommunications provider considers that 5G technology is the key to improving people’s quality of life, which is why it will begin the YouCare 5G trials at the Center for Innovation and Research, located in L’Aquila, Italy.
