What Happens in an Internet Minute in 2019? The infographic of @LoriLewis and @OfficiallyChadd aggregates the online activity of billions of people globally and helps us understand what happens in 60 seconds on the Internet.
Every minute 188 million emails are sent around the world and Google processes 3.8 million queries. Platforms such as Instagram and Netflix continue to grow at a dizzying pace, but the fastest-growing phenomenon seems to be the smart speakers: last year 67 voice devices were shipped every minute (sold worldwide), in 2019 in the same time frame they are shipped 180, almost three times as much.
Interesting to understand the evolution of online consumption is the comparison with last year.

There is no doubt that the Japanese Sharp (controlled by the Chinese Foxconn) is one of the hi-tech companies that has shone the most in this beginning of 2019: unsheathed the first smartphone without physical keys and holes, Aquos Zero , and on the list to produce the next OLEDs on behalf of Apple, the Osaka company presented a full-bodied set of smart appliances and, in addition, a delightful series of retro radios with a 2.0 heart.
In Cologne, during the “LivingKitchen” event (14-20 January), Sharp brought the Smart Works line-up , a series of appliances enriched with support for Amazon Alexa’s voice commands consisting of a refrigerator, oven, dishwasher, and intelligent washing machines, which can also be controlled by a mobile app.
In the kitchen, the KA-70S50ISW oven – although it has 150 cooking options, including one for pizza and one for browning and grilling the food – uses Alexa to allow the user to choose between various recipes , obtaining the automatic setting cooking times and temperatures . Energy saving is guaranteed, in the Sharp smart oven, by the ” Boost ” function which halves the pre-heating time.
Always remotely manageable even though it does not have a smart display in favor with the competitors of LG and Samsung , the SJ-F1526ESI-EN smart refrigerator uses zoning to increase the refrigeration capacity (fielding the space otherwise destined to the freezer), door the foods at their respective and optimal storage temperatures more quickly, through the Super Cool mode , while – by virtue of the Quick Drink mode, specially designed for cans and bottles – allows you to put drinks on the table already cold. In tandem with an Amazon smart display (eg Echo Show ) or with a smart speaker, the QW-HD65F444A dishwasher lifts – in less than a quarter of an hour – covers for 4 people.
The cloud of synergy with Amazon, however, is in the Sharp ES-HFT0148AZ washing machine . Thanks to Alexa’s voice commands, in fact, you can choose one of the 22 supported washing programs , going from the little disturbing for the neighbors ( NightWash ), to the lightning-fast one that scrubbers a load in 12 minutes, without forgetting the anti-allergy one. In addition, the smart washing machine from Sharp is able to intelligently dose detergent and softener for 20 washes, starting – via Amazon Dash – the order of the new detergents as soon as those supplied, according to the estimated use, are about to run out .
Along with smart appliances, a further opportunity, Sharp also presented two digital radios, and an internet radio. The digital radios Sharp DR-450 (mono sound, 119 euros) and Sharp DR-S460 (30 watts stereo sound, 139 euros), can acquire audio sources through the 3.5 mm AUX port, but also from the telescopic antenna put into tandem with RDS / DAB, DAB + / FM standards (60 pre-settable stations), and from smartphone / tablet via Bluetooth . Set up in white, gray and wood-colored nuances, they have a wooden structure with an aluminum front on which stands a dimmable round display .
DR-I470 internet radio (179 euros) is controllable from the armchair thanks to the remote control . The latter, launched in shades of wood, white or gray, always supports Bluetooth to play Spotify playlists on your smartphone, and DAB / DAB + / FM standards, however, thanks to Wi-Fi , even receives (10,000 ) radio stations that broadcast on the internet . Convenient 2.4-inch display , on which the user can view short text strings to learn about alarms and alerts, weather forecasts, or consult the time .
On March 15, KBS ‘Music Bank’ first place went to the 5-member girl group ‘ITZY’ who finished the activity. It is already the ninth place that ‘did’ which debuted in January took first place in major music broadcasting. He made his debut at No. 1 on the eleventh day, and the first race continued. The YouTube view of his debut song “Dalda Dalya” also exceeded 10 million on the first day of February 10, exceeding 50 million in a week. As of mid-March, it has surpassed 85 million views. It is an unusually high score for the girl group’s debut song.
People say that they feel the impression of their group debut, which is one of the most memorable memories of the past. Unlike in the past, even the newcomers of traditional large-scale companies are taking a considerable time to get to market. That’s why the performance of ‘yes’ and JYP Entertainment is even more amazing.
‘Girl Crush’ Beyond ‘Tin Crush’
The keyword ‘is’ is ‘tin crush’. It is a very arbitrary word, but roughly speaking, it is a concept of “teen crush”, which refers to a woman with a clear charisma, plus teenage vigor. In short, it is a group that uses intense themes, but it has the key to being lively and light. It is the reason that ‘is’ contrasts with the black pink of the intense image, and contrasts with the tweet of the bright and cute image. The music and video of “Dalda Dalla” also fit well with this concept. The combination of a clear, heavier sound with a clearly stretched house beat adds tension. In the refrain suddenly a bright and familiar melody pops out and emphasizes “I am different” with a theme such as ” In the music video, surveillance cameras symbolize public attention to members, suggesting that members may reject it. The urban scenery that is spread out in the background is distorted by the vivid color and noise as symbolizing the dreams and arbitrary ten eyes. The members demonstrate confident smiles in different ways, digging proficient and dynamic choreography.
The completeness of songs and music videos for idol is not all about winning. The members who caught the attention of the public at a glance seem to be unique and outstanding. It is a reaction from male fans, but it seems to be particularly attractive to female fans. On the stage, there are charismatic performances with sharp eyes, and when they talk or laugh, there are those who look like a ‘quack’ and get lost even more. There have been times when the presence of male fans in the idol market has been on the rise, but there are many indications that loyalty and aggressive consumption power as fandom are not enough for women. As a result, the girl group has recently been focusing on female fans intensively.
The news came out that Kang Daniel had left the hotel. LM Entertainment announced on 26th that it was legal, and it is revealed that Kang Daniel has acted as a reader in recent years, while Kang Daniel and his company are in full swing.
According to a separate report by Sportive News on Wednesday, Kang Daniel moved all his belongings from his company’s premises before he sent proof to his agency earlier this month.
In addition, LM Entertainment has changed the recent contact in a disputed contract, and only contacts through an agency and legal representative. Along with the departure of Kang Daniel, he is said to have been out of contact with Warner One members for a long time now.
It seems that Kang Daniel is acting carefully to take legal action. Kang Daniel, a former fan-cafe, said he is currently in a dispute with LM Entertainment, and on January 21, he filed a preliminary injunction against his company through a law firm, Yulchon. LM Entertainment has concluded a joint venture contract to transfer the exclusive contractual rights to a third party without the consent of Kang Daniel.
LM Entertainment said on the 26th that “Kang Daniel sent a notice of cancellation of false facts, and his company did not transfer the contractual rights to a third party.”
The life of the musicians was always interesting. It is a chance to get a glimpse of their unique world, and you can also see the reconstruction of renowned tunes and performances. There is enough room to satisfy both fans and existing fans. The scope also covers films and dramas as well as documentaries and boasts different charms. One of many singers, each episode of their episode becomes a scene and becomes a movie.
Nicky Six, who renovated and renovated her parents earlier, Vince Neil, who turns her eyes from a woman, Tommy Lee, who has to fill her handcuffs when she can not sleep, and the world’s most pessimist, Mick Mam. If you are extraordinary since you were a child, you have been living an extraordinary life. It is music that connects people who seemed to be unable to hang out even with death. The name of ‘Mtree Crew’ goes on stage, and they start a frenzy of fearlessness.
There is always a dilemma facing the musicians. It is necessary to establish a clear pathway among the stable episodes for popularity and commerciality, and the true story of the original. Whichever one you choose, you have to actually give up the other, but that does not mean that balancing is impossible. The queen ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ was a success story that focused on the former, and the ‘Straight Out of Compton’ which was the NWA.
Of course, the films mentioned had a spleen card that would be plus alpha, and beyond that, the presence of the movie. ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ awakened fans who were sleeping in the hearts of audiences around the world, and ‘Straight Out of Compton’ showed the birth of hip-hop, a trend and culture. I just had something that could be shown only by the movie, which was exciting and eye-catching.
On the other hand, “dirt” is not very good. Even if you do not rule out subjective standards like mtree crew’s popularity or popularity, the events you are dealing with and the way you put them together are a jiggle. The history of Mtree Crew has no constant chatter as it is depicted in the movie. It is all the people who have lived up to the desires and pleasures from beginning to end, who have been living everyday lives of other people without brakes.
I was the manager of Scorpions, Bon Jovi, Skidrow, and Keith, but there is no band that makes me as sick as Morty Crew
– manager McGee
I tried to approach a kind of band movie like the conflict between the members and the pain of the individual. But there is no paradoxical combination as ‘good mtree crew’. In the end, the place to go back is a pleasure that has been pursued all along. It is a cheerful sight for a person who has become a fan of Murtree’s crew, but it is inevitable for those who are not.
In addition, ‘Dirtt’ focuses on four histories of exactly Nicky Six, Mick Math, Tommy Lee, and Vince Neil, rather than Mt. Crew as a band. John Korabina, who joined in the middle of the band, and the band’s record label, seemed to have little intention of telling people who are not “fans” to be attracted to Mtree Crew. It may be aimed at, but it is a way of sorting out the target audiences that are still limited.
The most dramatic figure based on three-dimensional looks is by far the blonde vocals Vince Neil. Standing at each crossroads, it is best suited to a dramatic movie compared to a consistent Nikki Mick. If it was from another movie, such as a traffic accident that took an old friend, or a daughter who loved her more than anyone else, the curvature that was able to cliche was rather special. On the contrary, it is indefatigable enough to make something obvious, but it barely catches the moral equilibrium of a film that is about to collapse in one direction.
The fact that the so-called ‘breaking the wall’ is not actively used, as the characters look at the camera and talk to the audience, also hinders the film’s potential. It is quite interesting that the scenes in front of the eyes that were thought to be in chronological order were reconstructed according to the memories of the characters. It implies the possibility that the true story will change according to the preference of the individual, and it may substitute the personality of the person to show the manner of handling the specific event.
However, as with other “episodes” in the movie, the film does not seem to even use it as a kind of finesse, only occasionally using it for the fun of the moment. If you touch it, you could call it a few times, such as substituting hundreds of words or putting a big reversal on it, but even if you go beyond the middle half, the movie even forgets the power of your own production.
So ‘The Dirt’ is a movie for those who have only been a fan of Mtree Crew, something that has been boiling in their hearts for their walk. This is a movie for those who like to take a sigh of admiration that it was a rock spirit and this was a good time. The same scene is likely to be familiar to rock fans, and is likely to be shocking to ordinary movie fans. Perhaps it was better to strengthen the strengths of the performances or cross-editing with the interviews.
The highly anticipated Love Yourself – Speak Yourself Tour of BTS will start next May 4th at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Los Angeles, California. With this new tour, just a few months after the Love Yourself Tour, the Korean band, beloved all over the world, will also return to perform in the Old Continent.
The BTS have in fact managed, in these years, to climb the charts of half the world, earning the stage of some of the most important European stadiums. The boy band composed of Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Rap Monster, Jimin, V and Jungkook will perform on 1 and 2 June at the Wembley Arena in London and on 7 and 8 June at the Stade de France in Paris. Needless to say, of course, tickets for their European concerts have sold out in no time at all.
The Italian BTS Army (not to mention that of other countries that have had the same fate) in any case finds itself once again “snubbed” by the K-Pop band. Unfortunately, at least for this time, the BTS have not included in their calendar any live Italian appointment. But why don’t the BTS, and more generally the K-Pop artists, come to our country?
The answer to this question is provided by the nice Seoul Mafia, a well-known youtuber that for several years now has lived between Italy and South Korea, the home of K-Pop.
In the Q&A video you find below, Marco Ferrara (this is his real name) explained that this type of band is asking for very high numbers for their engagements. To date, unfortunately, the organizers of the concerts cannot really afford to pay artists who, in our country, would probably risk not registering sold out in stadiums and arenas.
What do you think of K-Pop? Would you be willing to take a flight to enjoy the BTS concert even in another country?
