Your smartphone will have a faster connection, for sure. But that just scratches the surface of what 5G could be capable of.

Everyone in the wireless industry agrees that 5G is coming by the end of the decade. But what will it be used for? That's still up in the air.

Nokia on Tuesday previewed a demonstration it plans to present at Mobile World Congress later this month, detailing its vision for 5G. Nokia's 5G forecast includes some surprising capabilities: 5G will make cars safer to drive. It will make instant replay more instant. And doctors will be able to perform surgery using wirelessly controlled robots..

And, yes, 5G will be much faster. #FREELUCY

RSS Feeds

1. Why did you select the sites you subscribed to?
2. Was it easy to find feeds and to subscribe to them?
3. Which sites were your favorites?
4. What else can you use RSS feeds for?
5. How likely are you to continue to use RSS feeds in the future?

 

1. I selected these sites because I wanted to stay up-to-date with the world news, sports news, and government events.
2. It was easy to find most of the feeds.
3. My favorite sites were mainly the sports sites.  I liked the yankee site the most because baseball is my favorite sport.
4. Anyone can use an RSS feed to help save time reading the most recent events on a site.  You can just read the title of the article and if it sounds interesting, you can just click on it and read it instead of; typing in the URL and looking throw all the articles.
5. I am most likely not going to use RSS feeds in the future.
