Artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere, promising self-driving cars, medical breakthroughs, and new ways of working. But how do you separate hype from reality? How can your company apply AI to solve real business problems?
Here’s what AI learnings your business should keep in mind for 2017.
Study: The Future of VR, AR and Self-Driving CarsLinkedIn
We asked LinkedIn members worldwide about their levels of interest in the latest wave of technology: whether they’re using wearables, and whether they intend to buy self-driving cars and VR headsets as they become available. We asked them too about their attitudes to technology and to the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the devices that they use. The answers were fascinating – and in many cases, surprising.
This SlideShare explores the full results of this study, including detailed market-by-market breakdowns of intention levels for each technology – and how attitudes change with age, location and seniority level. If you’re marketing a tech brand – or planning to use VR and wearables to reach a professional audience – then these are insights you won’t want to miss.

WordPress Page Builders for Non-Developers (Create Visual Layouts Without Code)Geoff Myers
From https://www.meetup.com/Milwaukee-WordPress-MeetUp/events/233427104/
About the Topic
A great tool if used correctly should save you time and simplify your project.
Will WordPress page builders (a.k.a. visual drag-and-drop layout editors) in the hands of a website owner eliminate the need for a designer or developer? Should a designer or developer feel guilty about using a page builder? The answers to these questions are no and no.
Join Christopher Stratman and Geoff Myers as they take a look at four of the most popular WordPress page builders available: Visual Composer, Cornerstone, Divi Builder, and Beaver Builder. They will be giving a high-level overview and live demonstration of all four and discuss how they use them in their website design and development processes.
Page builders in the WordPress ecosystem can speed up the design and build time for a designer or website owner. Tools within the page builders can provide you with new opportunities to push your design limits without having to learn lots of CSS and JavaScript coding skills.
