For the better part of the last decade, most of the best artificial intelligence (AI) was built on the back of natural language processing (NLP). While many people perceive AI to be something of a future technology, the truth is that not only has nearly everyone interacted with AI, they’ve interacted with NLP.

From Facebook to Apple, some of the biggest tech companies are turning to bots in an attempt to simplify the online purchase process. Unfortunately, the reality is that the technology - regardless of its advances in logic trees, natural language processing, and machine learning - must always be backed up by real people.

WebRTC (Web Real Time Communication) the newest standard for online communication and is intended to replace Adobe's old-man Flash. Prior to WebRTC, in order to send data (text, audio, video) from one web browser to another, the data would travel through a server (adding payload in terms of network traffic and latency). A server acts like the hub for a major airline- flights stop at the hub so that passengers can connect to their destination. Passangers...
