Millions of people around the world are having to adapt to a work from home routine - some unexpectedly while others have been doing it for years! Keeping a routine and not just staying in bed until noon is the first step on having an efficient and healthy time working at home. Here are some tips on how to work from home:

  • Be disciplined: Working from home requires discipline and good time management. At home you might be easily distracted by the television, your pet, your family members, etc. Be disciplined to focus on finishing work first and then being able to enjoy everything you have at home!

  • Be organized: Make sure to set a room aside or workspace such as a little office at home where you can focus on your work. Have a calendar or a schedule if you’re having trouble completing all work tasks and home chores on the same day and set times for each need.

  • Take a shower: While many of us won’t meet a single person during a day of work, it’s psychologically and physically healthy to ensure you shower, shave and get dressed every day before starting work.

  • Get started earlier: One way to work from home productively is to dive into your to-do list as soon as you wake up, as you might get more progress on a project at the beginning of the day Otherwise, you'll prolong breakfast and let the morning sluggishness prevent you from being as productive.

  • Stay connected: Technology allows people to connect and have video calls to check in with family or coworkers as a way to distract ourselves and get some degree of interaction with the outside world.

Working from home isn’t for everyone, but whether we like it or not, many of us will be required to work remotely in the upcoming weeks or maybe even months. Some may want to go back to their office routine, while others will enjoy the WFH experience and try to push their boss to let them continue working from home permanently or at least more often than previously. Everything is changing around us, it’s time to adapt!

Other activities such as online gaming and live events are also on the rise these days and could see higher numbers in the coming years.

These are the top 5 application categories by traffic share:

  1. Video streaming (57.69%): It is currently the top application type on the internet, which includes services like Netflix, YouTube and Amazon Prime. Also, video sharing on social media and even direct video connectivity like video conferences and FaceTime calls, are included in this category.

  2. Web (17.01%): Web traffic includes web browsing and HTTP downloads that don’t attribute to an individual application.

  3. Gaming (7.78%): Gaming traffic includes downloads made from major gaming network and from the traffic for specific games. Each year more games are bought via download now, and some are huge! For example, the popular western Red Dead Redemption 2 has a size of over 105 GB!

  4. Social (5.10%): Social networks are still huge around the world, with Instagram as number 1 and Facebook as number 2 in the most popular social media sites.

  5. Marketplace (4.61%): Online markets such as iTunes, Google Play, App Store and Windows Store. This category also includes the regular updates we have to download for all major device types, such as our phone’s operative systems.

It’s fascinating what data can tell us about our behavior when using the Internet.

Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have discovered a way to create electricity from moisture in the air with the help of a device they have developed. This new technology is set to have a significant impact in the future of renewable energy, medicine and climate change. The device is called ‘Air-Gen’ and it’s an air-powered generator with electrical conducted protein nanowires produced by the microbe Geobacter, achieving an electrical current generated from the water vapor from the atmosphere.

Besides making electricity out of thin air, this new technology is non-polluting, renewable and also low cost! It’s more efficient than other forms of renewable energy, such as wind or solar, because it gets its source even in low humidity environments. It only needs thin film of protein nanowires less than 10 microns thick which absorbs the water vapor.

At its current stage, Air-Gen devices can power small electronics, but it’s only a matter of time before scientists bring the technology to a commercial scale. Their plan is to be able to power smartphones, health monitors, smart watches and anything that currently requires traditional batteries.

Experts say this is only the beginning of an era where protein-based electronic devices finally replace materials that are polluting the environment, and further research will bring great benefits to our society soon.

Yeah, it sounds like futuristic idea, but it’s happening right now. Isn’t it exciting to be a part of the green technology era?
