Voice control

Voice control, voice recognition or voice command hot topic by the world. Mainly because of the escalation of the fight between the assistants of Google and Amazon. But do you understand that well? I Do not. When we talk about voice control we think soon of Siri or Ok Google, which many people do not know, but the breadth is much bigger and many find it to be a fundamental element for whoever dominates the future.
Without much return in time it was from 2012 that this became "normal" due to the evolution of speech recognition (NLU), which until then was science fiction, and has since fallen to the taste of users and now evolves to intelligent systems (understand AI) that will communicate with people through voice, text, vision, touch and gestures.
But back to the main subject. These voice assistants will be increasingly present in our daily lives as the IOT (internet of things) becomes a reality. For those who do not know IOT are devices, usually without a screen, that can be connected like the famous "smartphone" speakers Amazon Echo or Apple HomePod and therefore rely on voice-activated operating systems. But virtually any appliance can enter this role so it is good to know a little about it if we will not know how to operate the washing machine.

Global Unicorn 2017 List 41% of these companies are essentially B2B and 42% are not related to any mobile or tablet app. This is another interesting point for those who believe that all unicorn companies are like Uber although this one represents almost 10% of the total value of the unicorns. But continuing. What do these companies do anyway? Ok, 16% are e-commerce companies or marketplaces but what about the rest? I discovered that 13% are fintechs and + 13% Internet Software ...

Turnover over time. What's on Google and Amazon?

Isn't that something?
