Sony's PS5 will be revolutionary in the field of gaming. With it's release rumored to be in late 2020, fans are waiting in eager anticipation for another system that they can create fond memories with.

The PS5 will offer backwards compatibility, allowing players to relive the experiences of playing games on the PS4 in 8k resolution. In addition, the GPU will be clocked at an insane 2ghz! That is 9.2 TF on the RDNA architecture, and about 14 TF on the GCN architecture. That's double the power of the X1X. That's almost RTX2080 power! As of now, this achievement is unparalleled.

Imagine playing Spiderman PS4 and fast traveling through the city, but instead of waiting fifteen seconds to get to the other side of the map, imagine appearing their in less then a second! These specs have yet to be confirmed, but if they are true, the experience provided by the PS5 will be unlike that of any system before it. We'll just have to wait and see, until then fans will be waiting in eager anticipation.

JavaScript Is The Master Language

Websites:

JavaScript was invented to add interactivity to websites by Brendan Eich back in 1995. This is JavaScript's main function. Almost all web sites are running JavaScript on some level. This is not as impressive as all the other things JavaScript can do.

Web Applications:

As computer technology and user interfaces become better, so has the ability to create robust web applications. Applications like Google Maps allow you to explore places all over the world. As you click and drag with the mouse, You may see a part of the map that gradually becomes more detailed. All of this is done using JavaScript.

Presentations:

JavaScript is frequently used to create presentations as websites. Using the RevealJS library, a JavaScript framework for creating presentations using HTML, becomes really easy if you’re already familiar with HTML and CSS. If you’re not familiar with these tools, you can still use slides.com, which uses RevealJS to build a web-based slide template for you.

Server Applications:

When NodeJS was created a few year ago, JavaScript transitioned from the browser and into the server. Since then, Node has been utilized by many major companies, such as Netflix, as a major component of their back-end infrastructure.

Web Servers:

While we’re on the topic of server applications. Have you seen Node’s Hello World application? It’s easy to build a web server in about 10 lines of code. Of course, you can create much more robust servers using node or the standard server application framework expressJS. Many of the previously mentioned applications using Node are actually built using the MEAN stack (Mongo, Express, Angular, Node), of which Express is a key component.

Games:

JavaScript has recently become a well-made venue for games. Additionally, with the advent of the HTML5 canvas, the intricacies in browser-based games has increased exponentially.

Art:

One of the new features in the HTML5 specification is the canvas element, which allows the browser to render three-dimensional shapes. The browser is now used as a new medium for digital art projects.

Smartwatch Apps:

The creators of smartwatch, Pebble has created Pebble.js, a small JavaScript framework that allows a developer to create an application for the Pebble watches using JavaScript. But Pebble makes up a smaller part of the market.

Mobile Apps:

One of the most powerful things you can do with JavaScript is build applications for things that aren't the internet. For instance, mobile devices are now the most popular way to access the internet. This means that mobile applications are as important a product as a web products. React Native has recently been used in mobile development, and shows a lot of promise of becoming the major player across platforms. You can make mobile apps with JavaScript, and you can deploy and download right to Google Play or the Apple store. Facebook, AirBnB, and instagram are a few products that were made using React Native.

Flying Robots:

Several commercially available quadcopters come with a simple Operating System that makes it possible to install NodeJS. This allows you to program a flying robot using JavaScript.

Surviving In A Post-digital ERA

WHAT IS DARQ ?

DARQ stands for distributed ledger technology, artificial intelligence, extended reality, and quantum computing.

The world is rapidly moving toward a post-digital era, where leaders will need to be able to rely on digital innovation. With digital proficiency alone no longer serving as a contrast, future-minded business leaders will need to offer more technologically in order to succeed.

That means embracing a group of emanate technologies to drive the next waves of innovation and growth. Specifically, they will need to master the set of new technologies called DARQ.

Why DARQ matters

New technologies have always acted as a start for change, because the creators of these technologies leverage companies to gain wide distribution. Each of the four technologies that make up DARQ will be used by businesses across the economy to individuate their products and services.

In fact, individual DARQ technologies are already being implemented by many businesses today. AI plays an important part in optimizing processes and influencing decisions of tech companies. XR, or extended reality, creates new ways for people to experience and engage with the world around them. Distributed ledgers are most commonly used in the context of cryptocurrencies, but they are expanding their capabilities by eliminating the need for third parties. And quantum computing, the DARQ technology that is least understood, will usher in unique ways to approach and solve the hardest computational problems.

What DARQ will do

While each of these new technologies that make up DARQ are being implemented at different rates among tech companies, it’s clear that the new wave of companies using DARQ technologies to drive innovation is already here. Once the collective power of DARQ becomes more prevalent, it might be too late for those who aren't implementing DARQ to compete in the tech industry.

DARQ will let leaders in this constantly changing era reinvent their businesses. Being ready to harness the full power of DARQ in the future means starting today.
