U.S. Adults Spend 11 Hours Per Day With Digital Media

Here’s a stat we’ve heard over and over: 58% of American adults own smartphones.

Pair that with the fact that digital culture permeates almost every aspect of our lives, and we can already assume the average person spends a lot of time with gadgets. According to a new cross-platform report from Nielsen, our suspicions are confirmed: The average American adult spends 11 hours per day with electronic media.

That includes the age-old activities of watching TV and listening to the radio — which, surprisingly, are the top two digital activities in the average American adult’s day. Following live TV and radio, Americans spend their digital time with smartphones, Internet (on a PC) and timeshifted TV (e.g., DVR). The following chart, created by Statista, breaks down each activity by hours and minutes. [via Mashable]

Graphene Could Give You Predator-Vision Contact Lenses One Day

Imagine a future where your contact lenses gave you Predator vision. One day, it might happen, thanks to graphene.

Researchers at the University of Michigan have developed the first room-temperature light detector that can see the entire infrared spectrum of colors. And it can be small and compact, because graphene is insane and only one atom thick. Before now, however, it hadn’t been a viable tool for detecting infrared light because it’s so thin and can’t pick up the electrical signal of that type of light wavelength. But U Michigan’s crack team of resesarchs developed a new way of picking up these signals. Phys.org explains:

To make the device, they put an insulating barrier layer between two graphene sheets. The bottom layer had a current running through it. When light hit the top layer, it freed electrons, creating positively charged holes. Then, the electrons used a quantum mechanical trick to slip through the barrier and into the bottom layer of graphene. The positively charged holes, left behind in the top layer, produced an electric field that affected the flow of electricity through the bottom layer. By measuring the change in current, the team could deduce the brightness of the light hitting the graphene. The new approach allowed the sensitivity of a room-temperature graphene device to compete with that of cooled mid-infrared detectors for the first time.

The takeaway is that the pinky fingernail-sized device could one day find its way into your contact lenses, giving you heat vision at will. Yes, this is a very pie-in-the-sky idea that will likely never actually happen. Then again, that’s what they said about a team of elite commandos taking on a dreadlocked alien hunter deep in the Val Verde rainforest. [via Gizmodo]

Facebook’s working on facial verification that’s ‘nearing human-level performance’

Identifying faces is a relatively simple task if you’re a human, but it’s been a long road for computers to do the same thing. Now Facebook says it’s developed a technology for verifying whether two people in side-by-side photos are the same that comes pretty close to replicating human abilities. That project is called DeepFace, and according to Facebook it’s 97.25 percent accurate, which is just shy the 97.5 percent humans have scored in the same standardized test. In order to pull off that feat, the technology maps out 3D facial features, then makes a flat model that’s filtered by color to characterize specific facial elements. Facebook also says it’s tapped into a pool of 4.4 million labeled faces from 4,030 different people on its network in order to help the system learn.

The research project isn’t immediately ending up on Facebook. Instead, the MIT Technology Review reports that Facebook’s released it ahead of presenting it at the IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition this June, all in order to get feedback from the research community.

Facebook introduced facial recognition — that is, the actual capability to figure out who a person is in a photo — in late-2010. The feature was initially available only to US users before the company made it worldwide in 2011, drawing scrutiny in Germany and Ireland where privacy authorities claimed Facebook hadn’t given users warning or required consent. The feature also got its fair share of scrutiny from the US, including the ire of Senator Al Franken, who in 2012 grilled the company for not clearly warning users about it.
