Other manufacturers, such as Parrot, have not achieved so much success, and some, such as GoPro and its more than 12 million followers, cannot be said to owe everything precisely to drones.

Dorosha, drones and #foodporn

Between work and work, they also take time for their more artistic side.Bridges between the mist, winding roads, high tension towers or impossible skyscrapers fill your Instagram profile.

Since its launch in 2014, in addition to providing drone photography with its own gallery, the platform has sought to make a map of the earth in bird's eye view with the collaboration of all users.Therefore, all images and videos must be geo-referenced.

Internet of plants: a tomato knows as much about networks as you

The possibility of plant species communicating through complex networks, what some scientists have called the internet of plants , is an issue that has been discussed for a long time, at least 20 years.It was in 1997 when the scientist Suzanne Simard , from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver (Canada), published a study in the journal Nature on how Forest plants use complex systems where species exchange nutrients, send warning signals and relate to the environment. Although there is no scientific consensus, several investigations seem to support this hypothesis.If confirmed, as we read in a fascinating report by the Sinc Agency, the forests would act as huge structures that are articulated under the soil through a network in which factors invisible to the human eye interact and can determine the future of the climate.Understanding how it works is the challenge that even science faces. internet of plants and the wisdom of forests The premise of Suzanne Simard ...

Twitter shows the best of ourselves (it wasn't always going to be the worst)

In the era of social networks, accustomed to interact daily with Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google or WhatsApp, we forget that these tools are phenomenal in the History of Humanity capable of mobilize hundreds of thousands of people in very different geographical locations in a matter of hours or even minutes.

These explosions did not have the devastating effect that they could have caused , so that everything remained in a major social commotion at international lev...

I understand that it is a dramatic statement, and I do not expect anyone to believe it immediately, but considering that almost half of all potential voters received false news promoted by the Russians in Facebook is an argument that must be debated.
