It's Wednesday, April 26th, and it's a day of good news and bad news for social media icon Twitter. The good news is that over 9 million people joined the Twitter nest in the last quarter, swelling the ranks to 328 million users worldwide. Despite this increase in new users, Twitter continues to be a money loser with declining ad revenue and a stock price at around $14 bucks a share, which is the lowest it's ever been.
Despite the challenges faced by Twitter, there are some positive developments on the social media platform. Twitter says that daily user numbers are up 14%, but since we don't know what percentage of the total user base is active daily, this figure is a bit nebulous and less clear than it might seem. This lack of clarity is due to the fact that not all users are equally active on the platform at any given time.
In comparison to Twitter, Facebook-owned Instagram has seen some positive developments in recent months. The platform has added 100 million new users over the last quarter, bringing its user base to 700 million worldwide. This increase in new users could potentially be where those missing ad dollars from Twitter might be going. However, it's worth noting that the performance potential of an actual 5G mm wave cell service is impressive and could rival gigabit home internet service speeds.
It's also worth mentioning that 4G LTE cell service was a hot topic yesterday, as some people were able to stream video on their devices at various times. It seems like 5G evolution self-service is set to be the next big thing in terms of wireless technology. AT&T is saying they're working on a limited 5G rollout, but there are also reports from Gizmodo and other outlets claiming that the 5G network is fake and is actually just a rebranded 4G network tweaked to work with select few devices such as the Galaxy S8 smartphones.
One of the key challenges facing 5G technology is that it will require all new physical equipment, including new antennas on cell towers. Additionally, different Tekken phones and other devices will be needed in order for the full benefits of 5G to be realized. Despite these challenges, AT&T says they're rolling out their 5G Evolution service in 20 cities, despite the fact that technology standards for 5G have yet to be finalized.
In other news, there's a growing interest in vertical farming, which is allowing urban dwellers to grow their own tomatoes, basil, and other produce in the confines of their own homes. This clean, automated process works well, according to researchers who have spoken about it. They think that vertical farming could scale up and eventually feed up to 30% of the people in large cities, which is an impressive prospect.
However, not everyone agrees that vertical farming has the potential to revolutionize urban agriculture. Critics argue that while the technology is promising, it's still early days for the industry and there are many unknowns about its long-term viability. Nevertheless, vertical farming deserves a closer look, especially given the challenges facing traditional agricultural methods in urban areas.
For those interested in learning more about the future of food production, DT Daily has just published a new installment in their Future of Food series. The article explores the potential benefits and drawbacks of vertical farming, as well as its potential to transform the way we grow and produce food in cities around the world.
