A new study from Juniper Research, the foremost experts in smart city markets, found that the total amount of CO2 saved globally through renewable energy will grow by 25% over the next five years. These savings, compared to a fully non-renewable energy system, will rise from almost 2 Gt (Gigatonnes) in 2024. Continued growth in Renewable Energy The research found that international agreements, such as the Paris Agreement, are pushing the growth of the global renewable energy capacity and binding countries to spend on renewable energy technologies and commit to the clean energy transition. A large spike in spend is not predicted; rather a steady growth with careful energy management, whilst countries focus on expanding their capacity and reaching carbon neutrality goals. An extract from the new report, Global Renewable Energy Technology Market 2024-2029, is now available as a free download. Solar Power to Light the Way The research identified that various incentives, such as the US Inflation Reduction Act, will significantly accelerate private investment in solar. The Act offers significant support for solar expansion via measures such as tax credits, which will increase solar capacity by making private solar PV systems more accessible to consumers. Furthermore, solar energy is anticipated to benefit from several innovations, including pyramidal lenses. This passive technology captures light and focuses it on a single cell; removing the need for motorised panels that move with the sun and further reducing commercial installation costs. These advancements mean that solar capacity, and resultant CO2 savings will grow exponentially. The study projects that total CO2 saved by solar power will grow by 58% between 2024 and 2029, saving 0.61 Gt by 2029. About the Research Suite The new market research suite offers the most comprehensive assessment of the renewable energy technology market to date; providing analysis and forecasts of over 57,900 datapoints across 60 countries over five years. It includes a 'Competitor Leaderboard' and examination of current and future market opportunities.

Most people recognized the acronym AARP. It's for the American Association of Retired Persons. But few realize that rather than represent the interests of seniors, AARP acts to promote the interests of the health insurance industry at the expense of retirees and their pocketbooks.  Chris Jacobs, founder of Juniper Research, has been investigating the AARP's cozy deals with health insurance companies for years. Jacobs joins the podcast to discuss his new analysis of the AARP as well as the organization's support of anti-Medicare policies. He also highlights the hidden surcharges the AARP collects off Medigap policies it promotes. Jacob's new analysis, which can be found here, found that the AARP collected $627.2 million in surplus fees that were secretly tacked on to health insurance policies AARP promoted for the United Health Group. The fees comprise 69 percent of the AARP's revenue. Not surprisingly, the AARP supports policies such as drug price controls contained in the recent Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) that work more to the benefit of insurers than policy holders. In the podcast, host AnneMarie Schieber and Jacobs discuss: 1) How the IRA reduced Medicare spending by more than $250 billion. The cut comes at the expense of a position the AARP purports to favor.2) How insurance companies benefit from the IRA, which AARP supported.3) The arrangement AARP has with United Health and the surcharges that are tacked on to Medigap policies which are not fully disclosed to policy holders.4) How to turn this cronyism around.

Advertising fraud is a concern regardless of industry. Bots and fake traffic result in payouts but no sales. Juniper Research found that $68 billion of digital advertising spend will be lost globally to fraud this year, up from $59 billion last year. This can be devastating for brands that rely heavily on the pay-per-click (PPC) model […] The post How to Combat Affiliate Fraud, With Kelly Ground first appeared on Business Creators Radio Show with Adam Hommey.

Nigeria's active young population that is increasingly technology savvy is setting it up to rapidly play in the deep end of the contactless payment revolution now seen to be racing to $10 trillion in transaction value in the next five years to 2027.According to a new study, contactless payments, the system which uses near-field communication for making secure payments, will reach some $10 trillion globally in the next five years to 2027, up from $4.6 trillion this 2022, Juniper Research found forthe study.

The popularity of BNPL (buy now, pay later) has grown tremendously over the past decade. The attraction of breaking purchasing payments up over weeks without interest or late fees is undeniable. In fact, “BNPL spending in the US is up 230% since 2020, per a September report by Accenture... [and] it's estimated to total ~$226 billion this year, according to a Juniper Research report.”And while there are many players in the BNPL world, there are not any that have disrupted the industry quite like Splitit. Retail Refined podcast host Melissa Gonzalex sat down with Splitit CEO Andan Sheth to discuss the unique offerings provided by the company and how they are a step above the competition.“I feel that Splitit is a unique buy-now, pay later company that stands in its own category. Splitit is the only white label installment solution in the market. We have the highest checkout conversion rates in the industry because we are white label and we are available across 100 global markets,” said Sheth.Launched in 2012, Splitit allows consumers and retailers to participate in its installments-as-a-service thereby increasing sales. It eliminates credit risk for retailers by guaranteeing the full transaction amount for purchases made through the platform. For consumers, it simplifies the BNPL process by utilizing existing credit cards thereby eliminating the need for additional applications or credit checks. “Very simply put, Splitit allows consumers that have existing credit cards to leverage their open to buy, or their credit, or their line for installments at retailers. We never charge the consumer. We never impose any fees on the consumer, and we exist to empower retailers rather than to disenfranchise them,” Sheth explained.Recently, OCM (On Campus Marketing), which powers e-commerce to more than 900 college campuses and 1,500 campus organizations, has announced that they will implement Splitit's top-of-wallet, white-label, installment solution.

Esports is no longer a sector that we can look at and say, “Let's just wait and see how it plays out”. Reports from Newzoo and Juniper Research last year show that the global Esports audience grew to 474 million in 2021, with revenues from competitive gaming just shy of US$1.1 billion. The growth of Esport's audience represents year-on-year growth of 8.7 percent. To be classed as part of the 474 million Esports audience, you had to watch competitive gaming more than once a month. The audience is expected to continue to grow with a compound annual growth rate of 7.7 percent which will see it rise 577.2 million people in 2024.  The US$1.1 billion in revenue is a 14.5 percent increase on the US$947.1 million from 2020. Of the 2021 US$1.1 billion revenue figure, US$833.6 million will come from media rights and sponsorship. That's 76% of total revenue. Significant seems the common thread here. Significant audience growth. Significant revenue growth. Media rights and sponsorship contributing a significant percentage to total revenue. Brands are noticing and teams and players have realised their position or power. Patrick Collins joins the show and takes us inside Esports sponsorship. Patrick has a long history in sport having worked on the agency and rights holders side and, most recently, as Head of Partnerships at Excel Esports. Patrick has recently launched his own Esports agency; Leapfox. You can also connect with Patrick on LinkedIn Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Link to article: https://bit.ly/3fZxb4kA bona-fide research firm has made the astonishing prediction that VR porn growth will explode over the next five years, and reach a point where it constitutes a staggering 22% of all spending on adult entertainment online by 2026. Juniper Research base their claim on an expected huge growth in the number of VR headsets sold and an increased ability and willingness to access VR porn with them. The company already estimates the current (2021) virtual reality porn market at an impressive $719 million, but that is relative peanuts compared to the projection of its value of $19 billion by 2026.Could their figures be accurate, or are these impressive numbers just click bait speculation? As somebody who has promoted virtual reality porn for over 6 years (and before that 3D stereo TV porn for a further 7 years or more) I think that their current numbers are in the right ball park. As a small affiliate I have seen my sales more than double in the last year from 2 or 3 a day to averaging closer to 10. This is largely due to the wildly successful launch of the Oculus Quest 2 in October of last year, although the VR headset market had been growing for a number of months before that. I find it hard to believe that my sales consitute even half of one percent of the total daily sales of VR porn. So if we guesstimate that 2,000 sales are made daily, that would be 730,000 a year. With a boost in sales expected during the Black Friday and holiday season, it seems fairly plausible to me that there may be a million adult VR sales in total during 2021. The average sale is probably over $75 (at least over the course of a subscription), so $719 million spent on VR porn in 2021 may even be an underestimate.The astonishing growth predicted by Juniper for the next five years is something of a more bold claim, but not at all unlikely. As I mentioned above, sales for myself have increased by over 100% in the last year, and I believe that this is likely with a similer market share as I had in 2020. Looking at stats such as Google Trends and reported sales of VR headsets, I think it's probable that the VR porn market has doubled since the launch of the Oculus Quest 2 almost a year ago. If it continued doubling for the next five years, we would indeed arrive at a figure close to $19 billion. Consider that the doubling of the last year has been due almost entirely to the sucessful launch of the Oculus Quest 2 headset. Next year, the Oculus Quest 3 is expected to be released. But just as excitingly, PlayStation will release their much anticipated new version of their VR headset, and perhaps most game changingly of all, Apple are expected to finally enter the VR market with their own headset capable of both virtual and augmented reality. And of course, we haven't even mentioned AR porn yet… (although the full Juniper research report does appear to contain adult AR market predictions as well).The other main points of the Juniper report are that 97% of the total VR adult content market will be derived from subscriptions, and that the US will be the biggest market for VR porn, contributing 33% of global shareSupport the show (https://bit.ly/2XdAlJC)

Embedded finance looks set to radically transform digital businesses and create a new benchmark for customer experience across multiple industries. According to Juniper Research, the embedded finance market will be worth $138 billion by 2026. In the near future, embedded finance will enable digital businesses to serve SMEs and micro-entrepreneurs worldwide, helping them sell to their core offering and create diversified revenue streams by embedding payments, insurance, lending, and other financial services under the banner of their existing brand. Innovative businesses are also expected to adopt embedded finance to overcome perennial challenges around handling payments across geographies, currencies, and differing regulatory zones. As a result, they will be able to offer fintech as a service to help clients implement financial services into their own business models. Frederick Crosby - Chief Revenue Officer at NIUM, joins me in a conversation about the trend towards embedded fintech and how the Nium platform enables banks, payment providers, travel companies, and other businesses to collect and disburse funds in local currencies to over 100 countries. About Frederick Frederick is the Chief Revenue Officer at Nium, an advanced global payments platform redefining how consumers and businesses can send, spend, and receive funds around the world. Frederick leads the global Business Development, Marketing, and Communications teams that have helped inform and transform business models for banks, fintechs, and other platforms that needed new payment capabilities in this quickly evolving digital age, and that have made Nium one of the fastest-growing global fintechs in the payment space. Frederick is a veteran in the cross-border payments and e-commerce space and has catapulted huge global businesses and customer bases at start-ups and enterprise companies alike. In the early days of PayPal, Frederick unlocked the potential of cross-border e-commerce by aligning eBay/PayPal's massive supply/demand, and providing new functionality for global buyers and sellers to transact. At Western Union, he led a team that transformed digital remittances into the largest growth engine at the company to attain the #1 position in all their global markets. As CRO at Veem, Frederick joined a pioneering team bent on making global SMB bank payments into a five-minute affair. His sales and marketing teams built a network of over 170K SMBs around the world who could send and receive payments in a click, and the partnership team, in turn, brought the capability into the world's largest small business accounting and e-commerce platforms.

According to a study done in 2018 (JUNIPER Research), small businesses invest less than $500 per year in cybersecurity products, which makes them an obvious target for cybercriminals. Many small and medium-sized businesses overlook or under-consider technology risks. In this episode of the Aviation Business Podcast let's talk about Cyber Liability Policy.

As reported by Juniper Research, global retail spending on AI is expected to reach $7.3 billion annually by 2022. However, a survey by Sloan Management Review and the Boston Consulting Group found fewer than 40% of companies who have invested in AI had seen business gains from it in the previous three years. So how can retailers make the most of their AI investment?With the acceleration of digitalization and adoption towards digitization, retailers are learning quickly that their future depends on how they can leverage technology. But for an industry that's been slower to adopt, retailers have entered uncharted territories on exactly how to get the most out of its retail AI. Based on his co-authored article in the Harvard Business Review called “Why you aren't getting more from your marketing AI”, Michael Ross, EDITED's SVP of Retail Sciences, joins the podcast to share his knowledge of how companies need to use AI to see true value. With an extensive background in retail and technology, Michael is a leader in the industry as the former Co-Founder of both figleaves.com and DynamicAction, a leading retail analytics and AI company recently acquired by EDITED, as well as a non-executive Director of Sainsbury's Bank and N.Brown. With today's uncertainty in the retail landscape, Michael shares insight into the business opportunities retailers can get from their AI by simply asking the right questions.

An early pioneer in advertising, John Wanamaker once said, “Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted; the trouble is, I don't know which half.” In today's world of digital and programmatic advertising, content is created at a rapid and growing pace, driven in large part by the exponential growth of social media and video, adding new dimensions to trust in the marketing world. Advertisers are increasingly focused on brand reputation and they want to ensure that their ads appear in contexts that match their values, and also that they're seen by eyeballs and not algorithms! On this week's pod, we deep-dive another potential hypergrowth stock, Integral Ad Science (IAS), one of the emerging leaders in ad viewability, ad fraud, and ad safety and suitability. Founded in 2009 and IPO'd on 30 June 2021 at a valuation of $3.3B. Insider ownership is low at 1%, and a 70% controlling interest is still held post IPO by Vista Equity Partners, a US private equity investment firm who have other investments in the ad-tech space. Based on a March 2021 analysis by Frost & Sullivan, the global market opportunity for ad verification solutions is $9.5 billion (growing at a 16.2% CAGR), and the global market for ad measurement and effectiveness solutions is $6.3 billion (growing at a 20.5% CAGR). eMarketer estimates that the global non-search digital advertising market surpassed $180 billion in 2020, and will grow to over $270 billion by 2023. Marketers are increasingly aware of wasted media spend related to ad fraud (for example, when ads are served to bots or non-human traffic instead of real people) or viewability issues (for example, when ads are served but cannot be viewed by a person). Juniper Research estimates advertisers will lose approximately $100 billion in annual ad spend to ad fraud in 2024, an increase from approximately $42 billion in 2019. Powered by artificial intelligence, IAS's solutions identify non-human traffic by automatically detecting new threats and uncommon patterns, however, there is justified scepticism by experts around the effectiveness of IAS's technology, although these claims apply equally to their competitors - and to some extent, digital marketing companies have few options if they want to protect, or at least to be seen to protect, their customers' ad investment. With over 2,000 customers, IAS are one of the more dominant providers in their market. Between 2018 and 2020, their average revenue per customer for their top 100 customers has grown at a CAGR of 22%. In 2020, Twitter announced new partnership agreements with Integral Ad Science and a competitor, DoubleVerify, to provide advertisers with increased assurance around the placement of ads on a Twitter timeline, safeguarding against potential brand association with controversial content. IAS's total revenue for 2020 was $241M a modest increase of 12.7% YoY. Dollar-based net retention rate reduced from 112% to 108%, but this may be a consequence of deferred advertising spend during H1 2020 due to the pandemic. IAS are operating at the intersection of a number of trends in the ad industry: programmatic ads, connected TV, social media, ad safety, consumer privacy and the localisation of global brands. IAS is an early-stage investment opportunity with significant growth potential however, investments of this type come with significant inherent risks.

La industria de los exoesqueletos está llamada a importantes crecimientos en los próximos años. Este sector estaría valorado en estos momentos en unos 116 millones de dólares según un informe de Markets and Markets y la cifra superaría los 600 millones de dólares en 2022 según otro informe de Juniper Research. Se trata de unos aparatos que colocamos en nuestro torso y en nuestras extremidades, que tienen motores o sistemas hidráulicos en las articulaciones, como la cadera, la rodilla, el codo o el tobillo, y que permiten inducir los movimientos de esas articulaciones.

Iron Man's “Jarvis'' is a science fiction example of artificial intelligence with which many of us are familiar. The idea of artificial intelligence in chatbots has become reality. Many businesses already implement chatbots, artificial intelligence that mimics the conversational abilities of a human.    Jennifer Etchegary, an expert in technology procurement and implementation, helps companies find and implement the right technologies in the most effective ways possible. Some of her specialties include virtual reality, augmented reality, and chatbots, along with a variety of other technologies.    In today's episode, we're going to discuss how businesses can effectively use chatbots and what benefits they can expect to see as it is done right.   Chatbots    In today's market, we are seeing a shift towards everything digital. Jennifer said, “If you're not digitally transforming, you're losing.”    New technologies are being developed at a higher rate than ever before. Chatbots are one of those technologies businesses are starting to use a lot.    A chatbot is a conversational experience that uses artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing to mimic a conversation between real people. Essentially, it is a robot that can have a conversation.    Surprisingly, the first chatbot was developed even before the personal computer. Joseph Weizenbaum, a computer scientist, and professor at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory created the first chatbot in 1966 named Eliza (Source: Daffodil). The personal computer wasn't developed until 1974 (Source: Britannica).    Eliza was designed to imitate a therapist by asking open-ended questions and follow-ups. She operated by recognizing a keyword or phrase and then produced a pre-programmed response (Source: Analytics India Magazine).    The world didn't truly see the rise of chatbots until the smartphone era. In 2010, Apple acquired Siri and then revealed her as an integrated part of the iPhone in 2011 (Source: SRI International). After Siri, Amazon created Alexa in 2015 and Google created Google Home in 2016 (Source: Daffodil).    Since then, we have seen an increase in chatbots, even within smaller businesses. Chatbots are found on customer service phone lines, websites, and social media platforms. Chatbots have become increasingly popular as they offer many potential benefits.    5 Benefits of a Chatbot   Here are five potential benefits chatbots can give us in our business.     Saves Time     Chatbots can save time for both the company and the customer. They can maintain a 24/7 response system so the customers can have constant access to communication. With a 24/7 customer service line, customers can solve their problems faster without ever needing to come to a live customer service representative.    Over 50% of customers expect 24/7 availability with businesses (Source: AI Multiple). If we implement a chatbot, it can increase customer engagement and satisfaction to meet their expectation of constant service. And if a chatbot is doing it, we don't have to spend so much time doing it ourselves.    A chatbox can also significantly reduce customer service response times, depending on how advanced it is programmed to operate. A chatbox can help answer any level 1 questions. This could include how to find something on our website, check the status of an order, or provide our business hours. Then, if a customer comes to us with a level 2 or 3 questions, they can transfer the customer to the direct person they need to communicate with for that question.    By answering the easy questions for us, we won't have to take as many calls or chats, and we will have more time to help customers with bigger problems. This can help reduce the wait time on our phone lines or online chats. This benefits the customer since a chatbot can help them solve their easy questions without having to wait 30 minutes on hold to reach a customer service representative.    “Initially a chatbot might only save 5% of your customer service time, [but] as it gets smarter and smarter, as you train it, it can get up to about 30% to 40% to 60%,” Jennifer said. “It saves a lot of time.”   With reduced time, not only increases customer satisfaction but also employee satisfaction as they don't have to constantly answer back-to-back calls.      Reduces Costs     By saving time, chatbots can also help reduce costs. Juniper Research estimated that chatbots could save the banking industry $7.3 billion globally by 2023, up from an estimated $209 million in 2019 (Source: Juniper Research).    Instead of paying a group of employees to answer phone calls or respond to chats, chatbots can do it. While chatbots may not be able to take over the role of the customer service representative completely, they can answer simple questions so we don't need as many customer service employees. Chatbots can help businesses save up to 30% of their customer support costs by reducing response times and answering 80% of routine questions (Source: IBM).    As chatbots help reduce customer service response times and offer 24/7 availability, they can also increase customer sales. Business leaders have claimed that chatbots increased their sales by an average of 67% (Forbes). Customers often look for the fastest solution possible. If they have to wait 30 minutes on hold or wait until the next morning, we may have already lost their business.      Increases Efficiency     Chatbots can help increase efficiency. One way they can do this is by being programmed to speak many different languages. If someone calls in, but only speaks Spanish, we can have our chatbot instantly programmed to take their call. Our chatbot can be programmed to respond in any language we choose such as Spanish, Chinese, French, or Portuguese.    Chatbots can also get instant access to information. Jennifer had a vice president come to her for help because she was having a really difficult time with her contact center. They were seeing many inefficiencies such as not being able to access information as easily as they would like. Jennifer connected her through another person in her network and they were able to develop a chatbot that helped increase efficiency in access to information by about 40%.    A chatbot can also be custom-built to better respond to our customers' needs. “[There is] the intelligence advantage there, meaning [chatbots] have a deeper understanding of how people are speaking, and you're able to respond better to their needs,” Jennifer said. As we program chatbots to understand our customers' needs, we can increase our efficiency.      Is Data-Driven      Chatbots are scalable and data-driven. When a customer asks a question in our online chat, our chatbot can record and store that information. They can take frequently asked questions or common problems and turn them into data we can use to improve the customer experience.    Jennifer explained that one of the biggest business tectonic shifts is the increase of data. “A lot of the data captured, especially in chatbots, is very powerful,” Jennifer said. We should lean towards the increased data we get from chatbots and use it to understand what our customers are telling us. Instead of going off of a gut feeling, we can use actual data to make customer-based decisions. As we do this, our products and services will resonate with customers a lot more.    Beyond answering questions, chatbots can also reach out with surveys to gain customer information and track a customer's purchasing patterns. With this data, we can find new ways to direct our customers' responses and guide them in their journey to making a purchase decision.      Increases User Engagement     Chatbots can also increase user engagement. With 24/7 availability, chatbots can always communicate and engage with our customers when needed. A survey found that 83% of online shoppers need support while shopping (Source: Econsultancy). By having a chatbot readily available, we will be able to communicate with our audience more frequently.    Research also found that companies that engaged with their customers on social media increased their customers' spending by 20% to 40% (Source: Bain & Company). As chatbots increase our user engagement, we can also increase our sales.    Jennifer shared the example of a large beverage company that did a big campaign for one of their soft drinks. They used a chatbot with a Halloween theme and gamified it. When a customer clicked on the chatbot, it took them through a game that eventually ended with a coupon for their drink. This helped the company increase its engagement by about 60%.    Another example Jennifer shared was from a retail company. She helped them create an augmented reality chatbot experience. While a customer shopped for sunglasses through the chatbot, they could “try on'' different sunglasses through an augmented reality layer to see what they looked like on their face. “The user engagement exploded and the buy-ins were just unbelievable,” Jennifer said.     The Dangers of Chatbots   Just because a chatbot may be beneficial for some businesses, this doesn't mean it will benefit every business. If we want to install a chatbox, there has to be a great use for it. We should ask ourselves, “How will this improve my customer's experience?”   Jennifer said that one of the biggest mistakes she made in her career was overcomplicating things, which was a waste of time and money. There is a power in simplicity and sometimes a chatbot may take away from that.   We should only use a chatbot if we believe it will help the customer.   Chatbots have the danger of taking away the personalized touch. With chatbots, we need to be very careful with the fine line between efficiency and human connection. There is a certain extent to which technology can help. Past that point, it makes the experience more frustrating. Chatbots are an effective way to help with level 1 customer service questions. However, if customers have a more complex issue, they should be able to reach a real person. If a chatbot can't provide the right help, it begins to feel more like an obstacle standing in the way between the customer and the customer service representative.    When I asked Jennifer for her best advice about retaining human touch while implementing a chatbot, she said we should:   Get multiple opinions and feedback on our chatbot.   Make sure the chatbot has the right personality and brand voice.  Focus on conversational design. We need to make sure the conversation is natural.   If we decide a chatbot is right for our business, we can take the next steps to create one that fits our brand's personality. We should only choose to use a chatbot after significant research and time to determine if it is the right solution for our business.    Key Takeaways   Thank you so much Jennifer for sharing your stories and knowledge with us today.

Voice shopping market size in 2020: $22 billion expected. In 2025: $164 billion predicted. That is a 645% increase. Why? There will be more opportunity to shop by voice with digital wallets from Apple, Amazon, Google, and PayPal connected to 2.7 billion devices handling payments. Those devices will mainly be smart speakers, connected TVs, and to a smaller degree, connected appliances. Data via Juniper Research's Smart Home Payments report published 9/11/2020.

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZmV88Rk0Pg&w=560&h=315] Sex Tech CEO Lora Dicarlo joins us to talk about what COVID-19 has changed in society and sex, and why the last thing you want is your Internet-connected dildo hacked by the Chinese.   QR Codes, Video Conferences and Sex: Covid-19 Really Did Change Everything by Amber Healy  Think back on the state of the world in January. Filled with the optimism of a new year, all bright and shiny with possibility, we went about our lives, maskless, taking for granted things like going out for dinner or drinks, watercooler chats with coworkers and maybe even the giddy anticipation of first dates.  We were all unaware suckers.  With the type of fury saved for mothers whose children have hung up on them angrily, or the historic trope of the “woman scorned,” COVID-19 giggled at our innocence and optimism and smacked us all around.  We’ve changed since then. We’re weary and cautious, knowing germs are everywhere and anywhere. We spent a good portion of the year inside. When was the last time you shook someone’s hand? If the answer isn’t “Um...March, I think?” you’re doing it wrong.  But not all is lost! There are some ways in which COVID might have a positive influence on our world, at least from a technological standpoint.  QR Codes: Those weird little boxes now tell you what’s for dinner  QR -- or quick response -- codes have been around since 1994, believe it or don’t. Invented by Denso Wave, a Japanese company, QR codes were designed to be a faster kind of barcode for products, parts and other items. Among the first adopters were auto manufacturers to make shipping and production more efficient. Eventually that grew from internal corporate uses, including food safety tracing following an outbreak of bovine spongiform encephalopathy, aka mad cow disease, QR codes were slowly introduced to consumers in the early 21st Century  But no one knew what to do with them. You’d have to download a special app to read them. Sometimes they worked, most often they didn’t. After a while, they were just boxes that looked odd and were ignored.  When COVID-19 hit, throwing everything into a tailspin, some retailers got smart. If customers are supposed to stay socially distant, and if controlling and limiting the spread of germs is of the utmost importance, could QR codes be used to point and shop instead?  QR codes are perfect for a pandemic-stricken world. Bars and restaurants have embraced with joy using QR codes taped or otherwise affixed to tables, doors, windows and other surfaces to allow patrons to read their menus without having to print out and sanitize them daily. Some are making it possible to incorporate online ordering via QR code-enabled functions, with patrons receiving a text when their order is ready. This not only limits interactions between customers and waitstaff -- angels and brave souls who do NOT get paid enough to risk their health in these times, by the way -- but it also allows establishments to have fewer staff on hand at any given time. This saves financial resources at a time when every dollar counts.  It’s an elegant solution, really, and one that’s likely to survive into the future. Not having to print menus saves money and time. It’s more sanitary. It’s easier to update an app or website linked to a QR code, and so much faster, than having to create new tangible menus when seasons change.  Some customers had grown a little more comfortable with QR codes, pre-COVID, as retailers like Starbucks, Macy’s, Whole Foods and some drug stores began using them as contact-free payment methods or linked with their loyalty rewards programs.  It also helps that it’s gotten easier to use QR codes -- no longer is a special app needed to make them work! Most newer smartphones have QR code readers integrated into their camera. Just open your camera, point it at the code and voila, there you have it.  Businesses were starting to feel optimistic about broader adoption of QR codes before the pandemic. A 2018 study from Juniper Research anticipated 5,3 billion QR-based transactions by 2022, a 400% increase over the 1.3 billion transactions in 2017. But COVID is likely going to help shatter that expectation now that North American and Western markets are buying in big time.  Video Calls: Why wear pants to talk business?  People love crediting The Simpsons with “predicting” the future, but let’s talk about the Jetsons. The show began in 1962 and anticipated treadmills, nutrition supplements to take the place of food, flying cars (ok, they weren’t perfect) and video calls. The concept, and the technology, didn’t appear in a real, useful way until 2003 when Skype was rolled out. But most people who downloaded the program used it as a way to make free phone calls to other users, or to keep in touch with international friends before limitless texting or social media was as widespread and easy as it is now.  Skype was one of the first voice-over-internet protocol communication systems, retrofitting your computer to act as your phone instead of the other way around. By 2011, it was the cornerstone of Facebook’s video chat service.  Facetime was introduced with the iPhone 4 in 2010, but only really benefited other iPhone users.  But for non-iPhone users, for workplaces and for people who want to see their far-flung friends and relatives, COVID made it easier, and far more popular, to adopt video calling capabilities.  When offices were forced to close in early 2020, there was an immediate need for people to communicate and try and mimic the daily meetings and office check-ins they were used to in their places of employment. Very few places went to Skype for assistance. Instead, products like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Cisco Webex, even Slack became the glue that held corporate life together.  Zoom, and similar apps like HouseParty, also brought friends together for socially distant gatherings and celebrations -- I had a series of video calls around my birthday at the end of April with family and friends -- while video call capabilities were integrated into Twitter and Instagram to make being face-to-face while socially distant even easier.  Zoominfo.com, a totally unrelated publication, found that video conferencing has grown an astonishing (but not really) 87% in the first part of 2020 alone. While other apps and companies also saw a bump, Zoom itself saw a 418% growth in adoption in just two months.  The casual user can sign up for a Zoom account and make unlimited 40-minute calls for free. Business clients can make longer calls for a subscription. And at this point, we’ve all had a chance to play around with the various stock and customizable backgrounds built into the platform to fancy up those boring conference calls. A video game developer also said, very simply, the call quality is just better in Zoom than other apps, including Google Hangouts.  Smartly, Zoom also announced early on in lockdown that it was making its technology available for free for school districts as a way to try and help kids and teachers stay connected and finish the year from their homes.  The bottom line: there’s a reason retailers are now offering “video conferencing style” sections in their clothing ads. As workplaces find a way forward in the era of social distancing, video conferencing is an effective tool to keep workers connected, allow managers to check up on employees, and it’s not likely to fade away when a vaccine allows everyone to return to the brick-and-mortar office. Assuming that happens. Someday.  Sex, coronavirus and technology: Bedfellows with benefits How, in the world of a highly contagious and possibly fatal disease, are people having sex with their partners? Is the risk an adrenaline junkie’s aphrodisiac? Are there some who find masks irresistible? Does the pandemic make a naughty nurse fantasy even more enticing?  Early on in the lockdown, the New York City Department of Health released some guidance to help people stay safe while getting their rocks off. In advice that spread as quickly as the virus itself, the city reminded people that “you are your safest sex partner” while also providing some, uh, tips for those who wanted to share the experience.  The department also encouraged holding off on threesomes or other group sex romps, to wear face coverings (in addition to condoms, of course) and avoid kissing, and to consider taking a break from in-person hookups. “Video dates, sexting, subscription-based fan platforms, sexy ‘Zoom parties’ or chat rooms may be options for you,” the advice continues.  In what might be a first, NYC also encouraged people to incorporate kink: “Be creative with sexual positions and physical barriers, like walls, that allow sexual contact while preventing close face-to-face contact.” It also urged people to explore mutual masturbation -- each partner taking care of themselves while close to the other, but with physical distancing and face coverings to reduce the risk of transmission.  Sex workers were given similar advice by the government of British Columbia, acknowledging the “considerable support” these men and women were providing each other in this difficult time - emotionally and financially. It also encourages the use of sexting, video calls and other communication tools, along with “less is more” methods of arousal like erotic massage, stripteases and positions that don’t involve face-to-face contact.  But let’s be honest: We want to know how sex will be transformed by technology as a result of COVID.  “Sex tech is more than sex toys or objects used for sexual stimulation,” starts an article in The Conversation. “It is a billion-dollar industry that builds a wide range of products for interactive, immersive and connected erotic experiences. This includes but is not limited to: virtual, augmented and mixed reality, ‘teledildonics,’ dating applications and platforms, online erotic games and artificial erotic agents (or erobots) such as sex robots, virtual partners or erotic chatbots.”  The sale of sex toys and dolls has exploded in the past few months, as has the market for sex-tech startups. A study on erobotics from the University of Montreal found that the “private sector is racing to develop new erotic products, to occupy an untapped sextech market that is estimated to be worth $30-$120 billion.”  Teledildonics, or smart sex toys connected to the internet and, therefore, partners in other locations, have been on the fringe for a while, but according to Cams.com, there’s been a 20% increase in people logging into websites and interacting with sex workers and model’s toys since the onset of COVID. The models’ income also increased by about 20% at the same time. InputMag did a deep dive into smart sex techology and found any and all kinds of connected technology have seen profound increases in interest and usage since lockdowns started in March.  At the same time, familiar partners and players, like Pornhub and other erotic sites, saw a spike in traffic almost immediately -- Pornhub alone saw a 13.7% spike in traffic in March alone -- while apps designed around sex have also received more attention. Spain-based Emjoy, “an erotic audio guide app,” had a 45% increase in downloads since early March, along with a 160% increase in usage; Beducated, based in Munich, had 185% more activity, mostly from binge-watching sexual education courses.  When it comes to toys and accessories, especially of the higher-tech variety, the market has mostly been dominated by products designed by men with their needs and interests in mind. Lora DiCarlo, a woman-led company, is changing that. If the name sounds familiar, it should-- in 2019, the company was awarded a highly coveted recognition from the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas for its Ose’ product for women, only to have the award taken away and deemed inappropriate, despite dozens of other male-oriented devices not only recognized but openly displayed on the convention floor. CES later thought better of it and re-awarded Ose its Innovative Robotics Award after facing considerable backlash for being straight-up sexist.  “When women and femmes show up in the technology industry, consumers get their hands on incredible devices designed specifically for clitorial and G-spot stimulation, achieving incredible partner or solo blended orgasms,” the company states on its blog. “Female-founded companies promote both pleasure and equity through high-tech microrobotics.” The company offers not only toys for women, but access to certified sexual wellness coaches -- sex isn’t just about getting off, it’s a key component in overall health, and let’s face it, our physical and mental health is pretty taxed right now. Moving beyond toys for solo or partner use, there’s also the possibility that people will embrace virtual or augmented reality to simulate sex with digital partners in virtual worlds, or go beyond that and take up extended reality (XR), a technology just starting to be used by doctors to train their colleagues around the world in a shared virtual environment.  Just be safe out there, friends. And be like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman: No kissing on the mouth.

When you read or hear about artificial intelligence (AI), you probably have one of two reactions: fear of the unknown or some level of disregard because of other seemingly more pressing issues. Both reactions are understandable. AI seems like a far off, futuristic technology that doesn’t yet affect daily life. In reality, though, AI is around us all the time and, for all its tangible benefits, major promises have been made about how this technology will revolutionize our lives.Along with many of these overhyped predictions, there’s a great need for ethical reflection, because these technologies already drive our communication tools, medical innovations, weapons of war, economy, office work, and even the smart devices in our homes. There are many moral concerns about how these technologies will be developed and deployed in our local communities, as well as major philosophical debates over the role of theistic faith in the sciences. But a quick survey of popular AI literature reveals too few thinkers engaging with these issues from a distinctly Christian worldview.This is exactly where John Lennox’s new book, 2084: Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Humanity, enters the conversation. Lennox serves as emeritus professor of mathematics at Oxford University and is a prolific writer on the interface of science, philosophy, and religion. In this book he engages a wide swath of AI literature, highlights the promises and perils of this technology, and ultimately shows how the Christian faith is the most coherent worldview for engage the pressing issues of AI.Read More The RundownApple WWDC 2020: the 18 biggest announcements – The VergeApple’s WWDC 2020 was unique before it even began.

He is the founder and CEO of Juniper Research and the author of the new book, “The Case Against Single Payer: How ‘Medicare for All’ will Wreck America’s Health Care System – And Its Economy”. In this conversation we examine the definition of single payer, how Medicare would change, what the program would cost, how it would affect private insurance, how reimbursement rates affect care, whether middle class tax increases would be required, why California and Vermont scrapped their own single payer plans, how Medicare for All would affect the economy, and what conservatives should be offering as a policy alternative.

The budget battle continues in Raleigh with Medicaid being the number one issue, Chris Jacobs, CEO of Juniper Research, explains why single-payer healthcare will increase fraud and corruption, and dozens of confederate statutes vandalized around the country, schools look for creative ways to change school names from Confederate generals

In this episode, hear about ‘open banking’ and its concerns, smart apartments could change the future of health in Canada and how AI and Machine Learning are changing our customer service experience. Show Notes: Open banking is the concept of granting third-parties to access bank data to develop innovative apps. This according to Jeff Henderson, Toronto Dominion Bank's chief information officer could be a "game changer." All but one of 100 payment executives at major banks globally said they were planning major investments in open banking by 2020, according to an online survey by consulting firm Accenture released last month. But even as Canadian financial institutions toy with the idea, they're concerned about the looming risk to consumers' personal information amid the growing threat of cyberattacks. The Accenture survey also showed that 50 per cent of respondents said that implementing the emerging concept increases risk. The issue is because of this interconnectedness, this means if one bank is attacked then that could spread throughout the entire system affecting all other banks that are connected. The smart apartment and aging in Canada An apartment located inside Ottawa’s Élisabeth Bruyère Hospital, is a living laboratory that comes equipped with technology that gathers information to help identify memory and mobility issues. This apartment looks like a typical one-bedroom senior’s apartment, but hidden inside are a series of sensors that could change the future of aging in Canada. The Sensors and Analytics for Monitoring Mobility and Memory hub which was unveiled recently is the first of its kind in Canada that will work on the development and testing of new technologies to help seniors remain in their homes longer and more safely. One of the technologies is a sensor pad on a bed that measures how a person gets out of bed — and can spot worrisome signs that could, for example, point to a stroke or other problem. There were also sensors on appliances to track how often and when the refrigerator was opened and whether the stove was left on, as well as a motion sensor that could help track movements throughout the apartment and sensors to check balance and the way a person walks. AI to change the customer experience In the world of customer service, we're experiencing the rise of chatbots, virtual digital assistants, and artificial intelligence (AI) agents, answering basic queries which allow humans to tackle more complex problems and improve the speed and efficiency of decisions. These technologies will play a much more significant role in customer interactions in the next five years. According to Juniper Research, chatbots will create a cost savings of more than $8 Billion annually by 2022, up from $20 Million in 2017. In the enterprise, 31 per cent of business executives believe virtual personal assistants will have a substantial impact on their business, more than any other AI-powered solution according to a PwC report in 2017. And 34 per cent of business executives say that the time saved that was generated from using digital assistants allows them to focus on deep thinking and creating. Tech Bytes: Apple may be getting into semiconductors in an even bigger way. The company may make its own iPhone power management chips as soon as 2018. Currently, Apple relies on supplier Dialog Semiconductor for those processors, which are important for making sure an iPhone charges correctly and doesn't consume too much energy. Amazon.com Inc announced its adoption of Kubernetes, a popular open-source technology, in a sign of increased competition in the cloud computing business, which Amazon Web Services has long dominated. Kubernetes has emerged as a standard among companies as they build more applications on public clouds, the big computer data centers that are displacing traditional customer-owned computer systems. Earlier this year companies including Microsoft Corp, Oracle Corp and IBM Corp announced their support for Kubernetes, which was originally developed by a team at Google. Samsung is looking into using palm scanning to remember forgotten passwords.  Users would take a photo of their palm using the rear camera, in order to verify their identity. If the palm lines match with previous records, then Samsung would display a password hint scattered across the lines, so that you might be able to remember what your password is.

In Episode 13 of the Art of Waging Small Business Warfare podcast, we bring you up to speed with Guerrillapreneur News, news about the sharing, gig and circular loop economies that is expected to grow to $335B by 2025. First, we discuss the Ford/Lyft partnership around self-driving cars. Juniper Research released the Sharing Economy: Opportunities, Impacts & Disrupter 2017-2022 report that forecasts that the number of ride sharing drivers will increase from an estimated 4.3 million in 2017, to 8.6 million by 2022. Given this forecast, it makes sense for Ford to seek a partner that can help them convert their manufacturing business into a "revenue by the ride" services company. Second, WeWork teams up with IBM to manage an entire office for the tech giant. This arrangement marks a shift in WeWork's strategy. Given it's technical infrastructure, I discuss how I believe WeWork will eventually become a full service talent management business. Third, I explain how the Ikea/Task Rabbit merger is a sign that more mainstream companies are going to buy their way into the Sharing Economy. Expect players like McDonalds to purchase delivery companies like Deliveroo. Fourth, I discuss some of the headwinds that might slow the Sharing Economy. Uber lost its license to operate in London because the the Transport for London (TFL) was concerned that Uber was not carrying out appropriate background checks on drivers or reporting serious criminal offenses when they occur with their drivers. Given this action, I speculate about the future of background checks and how ride-sharing services will operate in the future. Fifth, First Data launches a new instant "Disburse-to-Debit Card" service which enables instant payments for gig workers. This innovative solution will eventually disrupt traditional banking relationships. Sixth, Airbnb is facing a headwind in Akron, Ohio where the City Council prohibited a man in an upscale neighborhood from placing his house on the home-sharing platform. The homeowner has never had an issue with any of his guests, but his neighbors successfully argued that the activity could adversely impact their property values. Seventh, two new camping startups are taking on Airbnb. Tentrr and Hipcamp have platforms that help individuals locate and book campsites that they setup for the landowners. Eighth, I give you an update on the Chinese startup, E-Umbrella. The umbrella sharing service has lost all 300,000 of their umbrellas. Customers used their smartphones to obtain the umbrellas, but their failed to return them. I provide a few ideas on how to save the business. Finally, I ask the question, "What will you own in the future as the Sharing Economy are bigger part of the US GDP?" The answer might surprise you.

Good morning, welcome to Payments Monitor, my name is Faisal Khan, today is the 28th of October 2015, some stories for today are: TOP STORIES With the number of increasing innovative payment methods like Apple Pay and Samsung Pay, it should come as no surprise that Juniper Research’s new study predicts a huge increase in biometrically authenticated transactions. Biometric payments are cited to go up to nearly 5bn by 2019, up from less than 130 million this year. Speaking of Apple Pay, there’s good news for people in Canada and Australia. Apple Pay will be available in these countries later this year thanks to a recent tie-in with Amex. While Hong Kong, Singapore and Spain will be able to use Apple Pay in 2016. In the world of Cryptocurrencies, Nasdaq’s new blockchain-enabled platform has signed up its first batch of clients. The operator plans to use distributed ledger technology for a host of other tasks and it will be interesting to follow its development. Meanwhile, Russia's Ministry of Finance has decided to tighten regulations about Bitcoin by suggesting a four year sentence for the issuance of cryptocurrencies. Reasons cited for presenting this bill include the negative impact of cryptocurrencies on economic stability and the use of digital currencies by drug traders and anonymous hacking groups. After the recent scandals, Volkswagen has experienced its first quarterly decline in more than a decade. A net loss of $1.84 billion was reported in the third quarter. Remember that Volkswagen had to spend €6.7 billion on recalling and repairing about nine million cars which had been equipped with the illegal software. Analysts predict that sales and revenue is likely to get even worse in the coming quarters. Fastacash, the Singaporean company that is making waves with their social media payments product has now added Xpress Money to their list. XOPO is the newly launched money transfer service using social media messaging. STARTUP OF THE WEEK This week’s startup is a Canadian company called Mogo. Mogo is engaged at reducing debt. As we all can fall into the debt trap pretty easily, getting out is difficult. Mogo provides two things: (a) A prepaid VISA, so that you spend the money that you have in your bank and not on your credit card and (b) they provide lower APR loans, so that you can transfer your credit card loans to their and pay it off using on-time payments. Their website is www.mogo.ca. CLOSING THOUGHTS Another interesting monetary fact for you. The savings of top 100 CEOs equals to 41% of the US families, i.e. 116 Million families in America = savings of just top 100 CEOs.

In case there was any doubt about the monetization strategy that works with mobile apps, Juniper Research's latest report makes it very clear. 88% of app revenue comes from in-app purchases, not at the point of sale. The other incredible number that Chuck discusses in this episode is the number of apps the average person downloads and what that means for your app strategy.

Dollars are one way to judge mobile's adoption rate but Juniper Research may be on to a metric that really shows how the majority of us use our smartphones (which, as we know, is NOT payments). A new research paper gives us a glimpse into the transaction growth that mobile is undergoing - not commerce transactions, straight up interactions like taps and bumps. This number is growing and could be the metric to watch as we move our lives to our devices.

Money moving through mobile is on the rise - and by rise, I mean growing at 40% year over year. This is based on a recent study by Juniper Research that focused on the impact of mobile on money transfers. The global study dives into the major trends around how money is being moved through mobile and why.

Google is first out of the gate with details on it near field communication system, not only enabling payments but loyalty and marketing as well. Howard Wilcox, senior analyst at Juniper Research, details the announcement's significance, what the tech giant should watch out for, along with Juniper's predictions for the NFC market.
