Imagine-Station's Virtual Farming: The Future of Agriculture?

Imagine running a fully automated farm in the comfort of your own home. With the increasing population in urban areas and automation slowly stealing people's jobs, we need to find a win-win solution. Using automation to control highly sophisticated processes like agriculture is definitely still far ahead but we are getting there. Agriculture is a staple source of survival of any civilization but due to increased urbanization, younger people started moving toward cities pursuing jobs much farther than farming. And that is not a good thing. With recent advances in technology including faster wireless connection, smarter computers, and a much better human-machine interface, I believe we are heading towards a new era of automated tasks that includes farming. Using robotics to plant, maintain, and harvest produce sounds complicated but with the help of artificial intelligence to identify plant growth stages and productivity, it can be easier to optimize any agricultural process.

Imagine Station's Operating System in the Cloud

Imagine a next-level streaming technology that lets you stream your own personal computer in the cloud. A completely online-only operating system with a familiar user interface that emulates an actual computer. A personal virtual machine accessible to everyone. All from the cloud. So how does it work? You have a familiar device (like a tablet that is network-ready), you log in using your online account, and voila! a whole desktop experience right in front of you. Everything you do there gets saved in the cloud and of course, you can log in to your personal computer from any device with a browser and internet access. Just like Google Drive has different tiers, why not an actual full Operating System that exists in an online drive? OS streaming that is subscription-based with a free basic account to go back to if you run out of money? That sounds amazing. The upgradeable tiers include a combination of memory, graphics, processing speed, storage space, multiple users, and more (insert fe...

5 items to have in your bedroom that you never thought you need

Your bedroom is sacred. I mean, I don't even want to know what you do there. But hey, most of us spend at least 8 hours a day here. Some maybe even more (if you live in a bedroom). This is where we read our books/e-books, watch tv, eat breakfast, and more aside from sleeping obviously. Some even have full-sized gaming rigs set up for gaming marathons (please don't forget to eat and hydrate) or for work (if you don't have an office). In short, we spend a lot of time in this space. So I have a list of things here you probably never thought that you need in your bedrooms. I haven't thought of these myself until I started needing them. These are needs not wants and I promise, you need these items. Shall we start? These items are in random order but you will need all of them anyway. 1. Multi-Port Rotating Plug  Every bedroom must have at least 2 power ports (with two outlets each). This means that you can only plug a maximum of 4 devices in at least two corners of the room....

Imagine Station's Nanobots: Saver or destroyer of worlds?

Imagine a world where an average person gets to live for more than 100 years. Where death from diseases is almost non-existent, and everyone can be a superhero…really? I can only think of this happening if we have …” drumroll ”... nanobots ! Yes, nanobots as in robots the size of a nanometer or less. A nanometer is 10 -9 meters. Compared to the size of a virus which ranges from 5 to 500 nanometers in diameter, these robots are invisible to the human eyes. Of course, if injected with these bots, a person won’t just be like Wolverine that can regenerate in a matter of seconds. If a person’s amputated (pardon the atrocity), they still might die. Period. I really do like Marvel eh? Here’s another. These nanobots can be programmed to form some sort of body armor (> insert Iron Man from Avengers: Infinity War meme) that can protect a person from bodily harm. When used externally, it can regenerate much faster (again, Iron Man against Thanos scene). Anyways, those are just what I would l...

Top 5 must have items for apartment dwellers

A lack of space is usually one of the constraints of apartment living. Before buying a new item, you first have to consider its size since you lack real estate for storage. Living in a smaller space could also mean that you must have long-lasting and multi-purpose items. Another factor to consider is the convenience of technology or design. Even if it serves its purpose, will it be convenient to operate or use? To help you a bit, I prepared a list of must-have items to consider if you do happen to live in an apartment.  Some of the items here work better in smaller spaces and are very helpful in low-rise to high-rise apartment complexes. This list is in random order so it is up to you to figure out which one will be most helpful. Now, on to our list. 1. An Air fryer I cannot stress this enough. I live in an apartment and my air fryer is my lifeline! It is so convenient and cooks deliciously! Cooking in an air fryer also cuts back on calories and fats according to multiple sources ...
