Fixing Poor Cellphone Coverage
Cellphones can have trouble getting a good signal inside buildings. Problems can be caused by building structures or high tech windows that block signals or by poor coverage outside of the building.

Conversational Interfaces
Remember how everyone in Star Trek talked to the ship’s computer? That was great, and it is where business computing is heading, but we’re not there yet. At home, people talk to personal assistants like Siri and Alexa and others but what’s happening about voice interfaces at work? It turns out that it is likely much closer than you think.
