Steve Wozniak: Only one Decade Between Us and a Blockchain World
Bitcoin, and cryptocurrencies in general, have gained a lot of popularity over the last year, with hopes of reaching new highs soaring, as well as them getting attention by various technology entrepreneurs and enthusiasts during many different events happening around the world. The ‘We Are Developers’ World conference in Vienna, Austria was one of this events. The conference attracted over 8,000 visitors from 70 countries, all of them people wanting to see the world move into its next phase of technological evolution.
During this event, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak (often referred to by the nickname “Woz”) commented in his opening speech on cryptocurrencies, saying that “blockchain is the next major IT revolution that is about to happen.” He also emphasized that it is a great technology capable of sharpening the future of the technology sector.
Before, last October at the “Money 20/20” Conference in Las Vegas, the Apple co-founder endorsed cryptocurrencies by saying, that Bitcoin was better and more stable than gold and the US dollar. This statement was sure the most captivating headline in the technology sphere at the tail end of last year.
Woz, at the Vienna Conference, also added, that blockchain technology was not yet suitable for all applications, but if being refined, there was a possibility of reaching its full potential in the next decade. He then quoted Jack Dorsey, the CEO of Twitter – who predicted two months ago “bitcoin will become the world’s single currency.“
Earlier this year, at the Global Business Summit in February, Woz mentioned, he still believed that bitcoin was a currency that was not manipulated by the government, that it’s mathematical, pure and cannot be altered. He then later realized that level of purity requires the sacrifice of a level of security.

Teacher sends back letter from White House, after correcting it

Retired English teacher Yvonne Mason has spent much of her life correcting students’ writing.
But it’s a letter from the White House, signed by President Donald Trump, which has proved a pretty noteworthy correction exercise — and it’s attracted plenty of attention.
“If it had been written in middle school, I’d give it a C or C-plus,” she told The Greenville. “If it had been written in high school, I’d give it a D.”
Mason, who retired last year after a 17-year career in South Carolina, corrected the letter she had received in response to her concerns following the February shooting at Florida’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. Read more…

Your quick mental checklist of “phones, keys, wallet” before leaving the house could soon be narrowed down to “phone, wallet.”
That’s because Apple may be introducing a new function that would allow you to unlock your car and house doors with your iPhone.
According to The Information (h/t Engadget), the near field communication (NFC) chip in your iPhone — responsible for the easy transactions behind things like Apple Pay — is rumored to be expanding beyond its current capabilities.
“The change to the near-field communication, or NFC, chip, which is expected to be announced next month, could pave the way for people to use iPhones for other security-sensitive interactions, from paying transit fares and opening car doors to verifying their identity in other ways,” the article reads, via MacRumors.

Houston police chief expresses hopelessness about gun control in emotional post

The shooting that killed 10 at a school in Santa Fe, Tex. on Friday has once again brought up America’s need for gun control and growing desensitization to mass shootings, and Houston chief of police Art Acevedo is done with it.
In a public Facebook post, Acevedo said he has “hit rock bottom” on gun control, and has nothing to say to elected officials “who will once again do absolutely nothing.”
“The hatred being spewed in our country and the new norms we, so-called people of faith are accepting, is as much to blame for so much of the violence in our once pragmatic nation,” Acevedo wrote on Friday night. Read more…
