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.

role of women and girls in various terror groupssadiakorobi2
Women have three distinct types of involvement: direct involvement in terrorist acts; enabling of others to commit such acts; and facilitating the disengagement of others from violent or extremist groups.
In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.
2. Historical Context “ There’s a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious - make you so sick at heart - that you can’t take part. You can’t even passively take part. And you’ve got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you’ve got to make it stop. And you’ve got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you’re free, the machine will be prevented from working at all.” -Mario Savio Student, 1964
5. #Occupy The Law Dec. 2, 2011 - Suffolk County Superior Court Protestors are allowed to stay in Dewey Square at least until December 15 while the judge reviews testimony and legal precedent pertaining to laws barring protestors’ eviction from public areas. Nov. 30, 2011 - OCCUPY BOSTON Boston Fire Marshal compares cigarette butts and plastic tarps to napalm, and urged Suffolk Superior Court Judge Frances McIntyre to allow eviction of protestors from Dewey Square due to safety concerns. Nov. 16, 2011 - MAYOR’S OFFICE, NEW YORK, NY Mayor Bloomberg stated that the “media blackout” was issued to “protect members of the press” and to “prevent a situation from getting worse”. When one journalist said “I’m press,” a NYPD officer responded “Not tonight.” Nov. 15, 2011 - OCCUPY WALLSTREET The NYPD launched a raid on protestors in Zucotti Park on orders from NY Mayor Bloomberg. Journalists took to Twitter saying that police were barring them from reporting on police actions. Dec. 1, 2011 - MAYOR’S OFFICE, NEW YORK, NY FreePress delivered a petition containing more than 40,000 signatures to Mayor Michael Bloomberg calling on him to protect the protesters’ First Amendment rights and to protect journalists covering the Occupy Movement. Nov. 30, 2011 - OCCUPY WALLSTREET Despite orders from NY Police Commissioner Ray Kelly not to “unreasonably interfere with media access during news coverage,” protestors were restricted to a so-called “free-speech z one” f ar from areas to which journalists were allowed access during a Midtown fund raiser for President Obama. Dec. 1, 2011 - COUNTY COURT, RICHLAND S.C. Charges dropped against the 19. Lawsuit moved to federal court. Temporary restraining order is extended for 15 days. Nov. 16, 2011 - OCCUPY COLUMBIA Gov. Nikki Haley imposes a 6 p.m. curfew on State House protests; 19 arrested for trespassing.
6. Opposition: POTUS Candidate “ Don't blame Wall Street, don't blame the big banks, if you don't have a job and you're not rich, blame yourself!” -Herman Cain October 5, 2011
7. Opposition: TV Personality “ So all these people, take a shower and they can get a job if they went to college. That's all.” “ They’re jobless because they don’t want to work… They won’t work for the corporate man.” -Bill O’Reilly October 4, 2011
8. Opposition: Politician “ [Occupy] is a pretty good symptom of how much the left has collapsed as a moral system in this country and why you need to reassert something as simple as saying to them: ‘Go get a job, right after you take a bath’.” -Newt Gingrich November 19, 2011
9. Opposition: Mayor “ [Occupy is] taking the jobs away from people working in this city… 'cause none of this is good for tourism.” “ In this day and age, the number of people there grows and shrinks dramatically depending on whether there is something on YouTube” -Michael Bloomberg October 7, 2011
10. Support: Mayor “ They're in one controlled park. If you were to go one block away from the park, you'd never know it (the protest) exists. It's just literally—just one block away—there's just nothing, literally.” "In some sense it is good for tourism… it’s a tourist attraction." -Michael Bloomberg October 24, 2011
11. Support: Congress “ I support the message to the establishment, whether it's Wall Street or the political establishment and the rest, that change has to happen.” “ We cannot continue in a way this is not relevant to their lives.” -Nancy Pelosi October 9, 2011
12. Support: President “ People are frustrated and that frustration has expressed itself… in Occupy Wall Street. I do think that what this signals is that people in leadership, whether it’s corporate leadership, leaders in the banks, leaders in Washington, everybody needs to understand that the American people feel like nobody is looking out for them rig ht now.” -Barack Obama October 25, 2011
13. Support: Federal Reserve “ They blame… the financial sector for getting us into this mess. They’re dissatisfied with policy response here in Washington. …I can’t blame them, certainly 9% unemployment and very slow growth is not a good situation. That’s what they’re protesting.” -Ben Bernanke October 25, 2011
14. Support: Media “ The protests, though, are more than a youth uprising… “ They are exactly right when they say that the financial sector, with regulators and elected officials in collusion, inflated and profited from a credit bubble that burst, costing millio ns of Americans their jobs, i n c o mes, savings and ho m e eq ui t y.” - The New York Times O c t o b er 8, 2011
15. Conclusion: Discredit The primary method of discrediting the Occupy movement is derision. Detractors refer to protestors as unwashed, unmotivated, unclear, and unhappy in general. If they’re dissatisfied, it’s not because there’s a legitimate complaint; they just ‘haven’t worked hard enough.’
16. Conclusion: Disparage This is the only method of discrediting the movement because the opposition can’t argue the merits. They cannot argue against objections to corporate greed, a dismal economy, unprecedented student and consumer debt and rampant, unregulated corporate and financial sector greed. If Occupy cynics afford legitimacy to the participants in the movement, they’re no longer the “far-left loonies” or “hippies” or loiterers with nothing better to do and nowhere to go. They can’t be dismissed as a group whose last mo vement was “Occupy Mom’s Basement.”
17. Conclusion: Discourse It’s worth noting, however, that the protest isn’t disappearing. In fact, as the movement continues, it’s gaining support from celebrities, journalists, and politicians. The fact that this is an American right is gaining acceptance and support. Even those who aren’t actively uninvolved are awakening to the First Amendment applications to this ongoing chapter of American history that is being written day by day.
