Launched in 2018, NVIDIA’s® Turing™ GPU Architecture ushered in the future of 3D graphics and GPU-accelerated computing. Turing provided major advances in efficiency and performance for PC gaming, professional graphics applications, and deep learning inferencing. Using new hardware-based accelerators, Turing fused rasterization, real-time ray tracing, AI, and simulation to enable incredible realism in PC games, and cinematic-quality interactive experiences. Two years later in 2020, the NVIDIA® Ampere architecture incorporated more powerful RT Cores and Tensor Cores, along with a novel SM structure that offered 2x FP32 performance, clock-for-clock, compared to Turing GPUs. These innovations allowed the Ampere architecture to run up to 1.7x faster than Turing in traditional raster graphics, and up to 2x faster in ray tracing.

Virtual reality first permeated the ether through science fiction tales, television serials and movies. From the 1950s and even earlier, creative minds introduced us to virtual worlds beyond our wildest imagination even though the supporting technology was considered light years away. But with the release of the latest devices smartphones, glasses, headsets and more paired with superhuman supporting technology and content, augmented reality and virtual reality (AR/VR) are intersecting with real life. This whole new ecosystem promises to offer a different lens in how we see and interact with our world whether at work, home or on the go.

"As we know, Blockchain is a distributed ledger that records economic transactions such that they cannot be manipulated. The technology came into prominence as a result of the interest in bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general but has since found relevance in recording not just cryptocurrency transactions but for anything of value. Knowing the capabilities of this emerging technology, developers and tech enthusiasts have gone to work fashioning out use case after use case for blockchain. Today many developers are focused on developing applications "codes" for the crypto world "BlockChain" without realizing many factors that the future will bring".

In 2023, indications show that change in the media and entertainment business is likely to continue. Studios and video streamers face the reality of their own market disruption, trying to find profits in a less profitable business. They compete with not only each other for attention, time, and revenues, but also with social media, user-generated content, and video games. The latter have evolved more quickly, staying close to younger demographics.
