New research suggests the metaverse, the fusion of digital and physical realities, could help mitigate climate change. 

Metaverse can aid in tackling climate change and protecting the natural environment: Research

<h2>New research suggests the metaverse, the fusion of digital and physical realities, could help mitigate climate change.&nbsp;</h2>

A recent <a href="https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2023/ee/d3ee00081h">research</a>, featured in the Energy &amp; Environmental Science journal, points to the potential of the metaverse &ndash; the immersive, digital realm where physical and virtual realities converge &ndash; to aid in climate change mitigation.
The study infers that by the end of the century, the expansive growth of the metaverse could play a role in reducing global surface temperatures by an estimated 0.02 degrees Celsius, contributing to the crucial effort to lower greenhouse gas emissions and atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, and minimise domestic energy consumption.
According to the study, the shift towards a metaverse-centric lifestyle &ndash; encompassing remote work, distance education, and virtual tourism &ndash; holds the potential to significantly improve air quality by reducing transportation-related and commercial energy usage.
This shift could reshape our energy consumption patterns, with the residential sector being the primary energy recipient. Cornell University's Energy Systems Engineering Professor, Fengqi You, elucidates that the study is focused on analysing the impacts of the metaverse on energy use and climate with the use of comprehensive systems analytics.
Harnessing artificial intelligence for data analysis, the research team assessed key sectors &ndash; technology, energy, environment, and business &ndash; to project the growth of metaverse usage and evaluate its beneficial impacts.
They examined potential applications, such as remote work, virtual travel, distance learning, gaming, and non-fungible tokens, and projected metaverse expansion until 2050. These projections considered different adoption rates inspired by previous transformative technologies like television, the Internet, and smartphones.
While the research underscores the significant potential of the metaverse in contributing to climate change mitigation, it also recogniSes its limitations.
The estimated reduction of global surface temperatures by 0.02 degrees Celsius, though beneficial, is a modest contribution given the intricacies of the global economy and the myriad sectors involved.
Nevertheless, the metaverse, if judiciously utilised, can form an essential part of our strategy to combat climate change.
The study underlines the importance of considering the metaverse as one of many solutions in the broader fight against global warming. Its positive impacts, while significant, should be viewed as a supplementary tool, harmonising with other strategic efforts in our pursuit of a sustainable, low-carbon future.

The world is always changing, but the tech world changes faster than most. These are the concepts that will rule the tech world for 2022.

Top tech trends of 2022: a peek into our crystal ball!

The world is always changing, but the tech world changes faster than most. These are the concepts that will rule the tech world for 2022.

The world is always changing, but the tech world changes faster than most. In this video, we&rsquo;re going to go through all the top trends that will take the tech industry by storm next year. Let&rsquo;s dive in.
<h2>Web 3.0</h2>
Web 3.0 is a buzzword that you might have heard of, but what does it mean? Well, to understand that, first let&rsquo;s go over what Web 2.0 is. Web 2.0 is the current state of the internet, where content is user-generated. So you have social media, where you can put up tweets or pictures or videos, and interact with other users on the internet. However, the content is all hosted in servers owned by Twitter, or Meta, or Google and so on.
Which is to say, it is centralised. Web 3.0 focuses on decentralisation, so the companies known as &lsquo;Big Tech&rsquo; won&rsquo;t have as much power over your data. Critics of Web 3.0, however, have pointed out that this decentralisation makes it very difficult to regulate, and thus making it difficult to prevent cybercrime, harassment, or hate speech.
Web 3.0 is still mostly a set of ideas with very little put into practice, so over next year, we should get more of an idea about what this new internet will actually look like - for better, or for worse.

<h2>Metaverse</h2>
On 29th October, Mark Zuckerberg announced that Facebook is changing its name to Meta, and will focus on the metaverse going forward. After that, well, you can see for yourself how the term exploded. (showing Google Trends screenshot here)
So, what is the metaverse? Well, it&rsquo;s the idea of the internet as seen through a virtual reality world, where everyone has a digital avatar. So, you exist in the metaverse, as a character which you can customise, and you interact with it through a VR headset, and some sort of controller. Your friends exist as virtual avatars too, and you can meet up with them, do activities, maybe attend class, all in the metaverse.
It's still early days but as more and more companies start adopting the metaverse, it will become more of a reality.&nbsp;
<h2>NFTs</h2>
NFTs or non-fungible tokens, are likely to be the next big thing, just like cryptocurrency was. Or, they&rsquo;ll all go bust in a few months and everyone will lose their money. Nobody knows. But either way, the NFT is sure to be on the tip of everyone&rsquo;s tongue in 2022. So, what is an NFT?&nbsp;
Essentially, they're unique blockchain tokens, in that if you have an NFT, it is the only one of its kind in the world, with no duplicates. The owner of this NFT is recorded as you on the blockchain. This has been most popularly used to sell digital art, where the buyer gets a unique token that says they are the owner of said digital artwork. NFTs have been sold for millions of dollars already, with many celebrities across the world, including India, launching their own NFTs.
The idea of a unique token, which is non-fungible, is definitely one that can re-imagine what our internet looks like. Hopefully, in 2022, it will be used for more than selling dubiously priced digital art.

<h2>Under display camera</h2>
For years now, smartphone manufacturers have been chasing the holy grail - an all-screen device with a completely uninterrupted display. Although some have succeeded in achieving this with a pop-out camera, the ideal method has always been an under-display camera. Currently, there are still some trade-offs with this technology.
Samsung included it for the inner display in the Galaxy Z Fold 3, and while it works, camera quality takes a hit, and the screen loses pixel density around the camera area. Other companies, like Xiaomi and ZTE, have tried their own version of the tech. Oppo has shown off a concept which they claim doesn&rsquo;t lose display density. Hopefully, in 2022, we&rsquo;ll get closer to the ideal of an under-display camera, which doesn&rsquo;t compromise on either camera quality, or display quality.
<h2>125W and 200W charging</h2>
Fast charging is getting really, really fast these days, and it should only get faster in 2022. This may be the year we get mainstream flagship phones with 125W charging. There have been some rumours that the next flagship phones from OnePlus and Oppo could come with 125W charging support, which could take batteries from 0 - 100 in around 15 minutes.
Xiaomi has shown off the concept of 200W charging, which can take their test phone&rsquo;s battery from 0 - 100 in just 8 minutes. While there are concerns about long term battery life with charging this fast, it seems like smartphone manufacturers will stop at nothing to bring charging times down to an absolute minimum.
<h2>Ransomware attacks</h2>
Ransomware is when a virus takes over your computer&rsquo;s files, shutting you out of your own PC, unless you pay a ransom. These viruses normally encrypt a computer&rsquo;s files, meaning that it&rsquo;s very difficult, if not outright impossible, to remove them without paying the money.
India is one of the worst-hit countries by ransomware. Acronis Cyberthreats Report 2022 says that the rate of ransomware detection in India has doubled to 7.34% in Q3 2021 from 3.65% in Q2 2021, which makes it the fourth worst-hit country by ransomware in Asia.&nbsp;
The report also mentions that ransomware continues to be the number one threat to big and medium businesses, including government, healthcare, and other critical organisations.
As cybersecurity researchers continue to play a cat and mouse game with hackers, ransomware attacks could well continue into 2022.
