That means they want the ads that run on their sites to be compelling, useful and engaging--ones that people actually want to see and interact with. But the reality is, it’s far too common that people encounter annoying, intrusive ads on the web--like the kind that blare music unexpectedly, or force you to wait 10 seconds before you can see the content on the page. These frustrating experiences can lead some people to block <i>all</i> ads--taking a big toll on the content creators, journalists, web developers and videographers who depend on ads to fund their content creation. <br/></p><p>We believe online ads should be better. That’s why we joined the <a href="https://www.betterads.org/">Coalition for Better Ads</a>, an industry group dedicated to improving online ads. The group’s recently announced <a href="https://www.betterads.org/standards">Better Ads Standards</a> provide clear, public, data-driven guidance for how the industry can improve ads for consumers, and today I’d like to share how we plan to support it.<br/></p></div></div>

Simply ask questions—in words, not formulas—to quickly analyze your data. For example, you can ask “what is the distribution of products sold?” or “what are average sales on Sundays?” and Explore will help you find the answers. </p><p>Now, we’re using the same powerful technology in Explore to make visualizing data even more effortless. If you don’t see the chart you need, just ask. Instead of manually building charts, ask Explore to do it by typing in “histogram of 2017 customer ratings” or “bar chart for ice cream sales.” Less time spent building charts means more time acting on new insights.<br/></p></div></div>

<p>This is an issue Elgato’s latest HomeKit offering aims to address. The Eve Degree is a standalone room thermometer capable of measuring both temperature and humidity, reporting it back to your iPhone.</p>

Headed into the event, there is actually very little that we know about iOS 11 and what it will bring to iPhone and iPad users. Of course, that hasn’t stopped many people from speculating and offering their wish lists for iOS 11.</p>
<p>Read on as we highlight some of the best iOS 11 concepts and ideas to date…</p>

Yet, from time to time I find it necessary to capture direct feed video straight from source. In these situations, I’ve enjoyed using <a href="http://amzn.to/2saAUlg">Elgato’s Game Capture HD60 S</a>.</p>
<p>While the name ‘Game Capture’ may lead one to believe that the device is only relevant for gamers, it’s actually useful in a lot of different situations that may benefit Mac users. As an example, I used the Game Capture HD60 to capture UEFI BIOS footage <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2017/04/28/building-a-gtx-1080-ti-powered-hackintosh-installing-macos-sierra-step-by-step-video/">for my Hackintosh builds</a>, routing output straight from the video card.</p>
<p>But the Game Capture line of hardware is more than just a capture device; it can also be used to help facilitate live streams via Twitch, YouTube, and other services. Have a look at our hands-on unboxing and walkthrough of the $180 Game Capture HD60 S for more details. <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2017/05/31/elgato-hd60-s-video-capture-live-streaming/#more-484121" class="more-link">more…</a></p><img alt="" border="0" src="https://pixel.wp.com/b.gif?host=9to5mac.com&blog=22754319&post=484121&subd=9to5mac&ref=&feed=1" width="1" height="1" /><img alt="" border="0" src="https://pixel.wp.com/b.gif?host=9to5mac.com&blog=22754319&post=484121&subd=9to5mac&ref=&feed=1" width="1" height="1" />Wed, 31 May 2017 23:01:11 +00009to5MacTim Cook among CEOs urging President Trump to keep US in Paris climate pact

What do you love most about your Pixel?</h3><p></p><p><b>Gene Simmons: </b>I love the sleek, edgy look of the Pixel. It’s technologically advanced, but still intuitive and easy to use. And I love the camera! The photos I’ve taken of my family on my Pixel are so clear, I’ll never forget those moments. This picture of my daughter and me is one of my favorites—we’re hanging out as I get ready for a show.</p></div></div>
<div class="block-paragraph"><div class="rich-text"><h3>What made you want to create these Live Cases?</h3><p><b> </b>I was pumped that Google and KISS could work together … what a power couple. I love that Live Cases are another way for fans to express themselves. Our fans have evolved a lot over the last 44 years, and merch has always been really important to them. I think of Live Cases as the new concert T-shirt.</p><h3>Do you have a favorite Live Case?</h3><p>The one with the close-up of my face and make-up—of course!</p><h3>How do you use Google products while you’re on tour?</h3><p>I’m always starving after I wrap up a show, so I use my Google Assistant to find late night food. And I tell my Google Home to play music all day long—it never gets sick of me!</p><h3>How has technology changed your work as a musician/performer (in studio and on the road)?</h3><p>Technology has changed everything for us, especially in the recording studio and with record sales. We used to record reel-to-reel, a-trak, and CDs. Now we record digitally and everything is streamed and bought on iTunes, Spotify or Google Play. It's a whole new world and Google helps us navigate it.</p><p><i>Check out Gene and his fellow band members with their Live Cases, along with photos of a few other designs you can choose from: </i></p></div></div>

We’re constantly adding security features to help businesses stay ahead of potential threats, and are excited to announce new security features for Gmail customers, including early phishing detection using machine learning, click-time warnings for malicious links, unintended external reply warnings and built-in defenses against new threats.</p><h3>New machine learning models in Gmail to block phishing</h3><p>Machine learning helps Gmail block sneaky spam and phishing messages from showing up in your inbox with over 99.9 percent accuracy. This is huge, given that 50-70 percent of messages that Gmail receives are spam. We’re continuing to improve spam detection accuracy with <a href="https://gsuiteupdates.googleblog.com/2017/05/early-detection-of-phishing-via-delayed-delivery.html">early phishing detection</a>, a dedicated machine learning model that selectively delays messages (less than 0.05 percent of messages on average) to perform rigorous phishing analysis and further protect user data from compromise.</p>Our detection models integrate with <a href="https://safebrowsing.google.com/">Google Safe Browsing</a> machine learning technologies for finding and flagging phishy and suspicious URLs. These new models combine a variety of techniques such as reputation and similarity analysis on URLs, allowing us to generate new URL <a href="https://gsuiteupdates.googleblog.com/2017/05/making-email-safer-with-Gmail-click-time-security-checks.html">click-time warnings</a> for phishing and malware links. As we find new patterns, our models adapt more quickly than manual systems ever could, and get better with time.</div></div>

<div class="block-paragraph"><div class="rich-text"><h3>New warnings for employees to prevent data loss </h3><p>When employees are empowered to make the right decisions to protect data, it can improve an enterprise’s security posture. To help with this, Gmail now displays <a href="http://gsuiteupdates.googleblog.com/2017/05/gmail-unintended-external-reply-warnings.html">unintended external reply warnings</a> to users to help prevent data loss. Now, if you try to respond to someone outside of your company domain, you’ll receive a quick warning to make sure you intended to send that email. And because Gmail has contextual intelligence, it knows if the recipient is an existing contact or someone you interact with regularly, to avoid displaying warnings unnecessarily. <br/></p></div></div>

Chrome OS is designed and built with security at its core, from Trusted Platform Module (TPM) chips on all hardware, sandboxing of software, and Chrome browser security, endpoints across your organization are secure from boot to shutdown.</p><p><a href="https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/3438631?hl=en">The multiple security layers of Chrome OS</a> work together as part of a cohesive security approach, including automatic updates to provide protection on a recurring basis without disrupting your work. Today we’re sharing a closer look at how automatic Chrome OS software updates maintain ongoing security of the platform and devices.</p><p>Unlike most other computing platforms, Chrome OS devices always have two images of the system software on separate partitions. This approach serves two purposes. First, there’s no disruption to your work because you can keep working while the backup version is updated. Second, the next time the Chrome OS device boots, which typically takes just 6 to 10 seconds, it runs from the recently updated partition. Essentially, Chrome OS swaps between the two images. That means there’s no waiting for the updates to be applied: You can be up and running in just seconds with new software.</p><p>This not only keeps you working, but it can also reduce IT admin support costs. Instead of admins and tech support resources trying to schedule or manually push out software updates to a large number of machines, quick automatic updates happen without disruption.</p><p>Major version updates for Chrome OS are available every six weeks on average, though minor improvements are are sometimes available sooner. And important security patches can be pushed in 24 to 48 hours if required. These updates happen automatically in the background and are applied seamlessly to the backup partition. Additionally, all software updates are provided and pushed directly from Google, so there’s no third-party intermediary involved, further helping to speed the delivery of Chrome OS updates.</p><p>Chrome OS automatic updates are one of several security layers that protect your devices and data. The updates work hand in hand with the Chrome OS Verified Boot feature to ensure that the system software hasn’t been compromised; if Verified Boot detects software tampering, it forces a reboot into the backup partition of the system software.</p>To learn more about the benefits of automatic updates and Chrome OS security features, register and join us on June 7 for a <a href="https://cloudonair.withgoogle.com/events/chrome-enterprise-security">Chrome OS Security webinar</a>.</div></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/MKuf/~4/lR7Qdk_iNxA" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>Wed, 31 May 2017 16:00:00 +0000Wed, 31 May 2017 16:00:00 +0000The Official Google BlogElgato launching Eve Degree, a miniature HomeKit temperature & humidity sensor w/ display

In fact, each month, there are more than 500 million art-related searches on Google. Now whether you’re a casual fan or a true culture vulture, Google can help you become an art expert. Starting today, when you search for art-related things, you’ll have access to more relevant results and the ability to dive deeper into topics of interest. We’ve also added a new feature in Street View (think digital museum guide!) that gives you key insights about the artworks on your virtual museum visits. <br/></p></div></div>
<div class="block-paragraph"><div class="rich-text"><p><b>Explore more art right from Google Search </b></p><p>To help make your search for art a masterpiece, the Google Arts & Culture team joined forces with Google Search engineers to improve how our systems understand and recognize artworks, the places you can see them in person, the artists who made them, the materials they used, the art period they belong to and the connections among all these. <br/></p></div></div>
<div class="block-paragraph"><div class="rich-text"><p>Now when you search an artist like <a href="https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=gustav+klimt&oq=gustav+klimt&aqs=chrome.0.0l6.3438j0j9&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8">Gustav Klimt</a>, you’ll see an interactive Knowledge Panel that will highlight ways you can explore on a deeper level, like seeing a collection of the artist’s works or even scrolling through the museums where you can view the paintings on the wall. And for some pieces, you can click through to see picture-perfect high-resolution imagery right from Google Arts & Culture.<br/></p></div></div>

Now as you walk through the rooms of the museums on Google Maps you’ll see clear and useful annotations on the wall next to each piece. Clicking on these annotations will bring you to a new page with more information provided by hundreds of the world’s renowned museums.

<div class="block-paragraph"><div class="rich-text"><p>Let’s hop inside our <a href="https://blog.google/products/maps/go-back-in-time-with-street-view/">time machine</a> and see where it all began. Larry kicked off the first prototype in 2004 with a team of Googlers who were passionate about his idea to create a 360-degree view of the world. They tossed cameras on a van, added some lasers (okay maybe it was a bit more complicated than that), and the first Street View car was born. In 2006, Street View officially hit the roads in a few cities across the U.S. and the first imagery was published in <a href="https://maps.googleblog.com/2007/05/introducing-street-view.html">May 2007</a>. Ten years later, we’ve published imagery on every continent, in 83 countries, and traveled about 10 million miles with the Street View car. <a href="https://www.google.com/streetview/understand/">Talk about a roadtrip</a>.</p></div></div>

<div class="block-paragraph"><div class="rich-text"><p>While our cars explored streets around the world, we were still missing out on some of the most beautiful places on Earth: the world that exists beyond the roads. So we developed custom vehicles, like the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEPxlpjBYOo">Street View Trekker</a>, to go where cars couldn’t go. The Trekker is designed to be worn and walked through narrow alleyways or trails, gathering images as it goes. Its traveled to breathtaking natural wonders and world heritage sites—<a href="https://maps.google.com/maps/about/behind-the-scenes/streetview/treks/grand-canyon/">Grand Canyon</a>, the <a href="https://maps.google.com/maps/about/behind-the-scenes/streetview/treks/taj-mahal/">Taj Mahal</a>, <a href="http://www.google.com/maps/about/behind-the-scenes/streetview/treks/angkor/">Angkor Wat</a>, the <a href="http://www.google.com/maps/about/behind-the-scenes/streetview/treks/galapagos-islands/">Galapagos Islands</a> and even the historic pedestrian paths in <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/about/behind-the-scenes/streetview/treks/venice/">Venice</a>. And it's been used by conservation organizations to observe wildlife, like <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/about/behind-the-scenes/streetview/treks/samburu-kenya/">elephants</a>, <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/about/behind-the-scenes/streetview/treks/gombe-tanzania/">chimps</a>, <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/about/behind-the-scenes/streetview/treks/churchill-canada/">polar bears</a>, and <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/about/behind-the-scenes/streetview/treks/amazon/">frogs in the Amazon</a>, in their natural habitat. Over the years we've put Street View cameras on a <a href="https://maps.googleblog.com/2015/12/take-snowmobile-with-google-maps-to-sea.html">snowmobile</a> to bring you closer to the Arctic Eiders, the back of a <a href="https://maps.googleblog.com/2014/10/roam-arabian-desert-with-street-view.html">camel</a> to roam the Arabian desert, and a <a href="https://maps.googleblog.com/2011/02/street-view-takes-you-inside-museums.html">trolley</a> to give you a better view of renowned works of art. </p></div></div>

<div class="block-paragraph"><div class="rich-text"><p>To build our map of the world faster, in 2013 we enlisted the help of partners through the <a href="https://maps.googleblog.com/2013/06/apply-now-to-be-next-google-maps-trekker.html">Trekker Loan Program</a>. We gave volunteers Street View cameras, which they used to collect 360-degree imagery of the local places they know best. Then the <a href="https://maps.googleblog.com/2015/09/introducing-new-street-view-app-from.html">Street View App</a> came along in 2015, so that anyone could publish photo spheres (360-degree panoramas) of their favorite places from around the world—or around the block—to Google Maps in an instant. We expanded on this last month, when we announced more than 20 new <a href="https://blog.google/products/maps/create-your-own-street-view-imagery-new-360-cameras/">Street View-compatible 360 cameras</a>, to help you document your adventures with high quality imagery. Now anyone—from tourism organizations to local neighborhood enthusiast—can contribute panoramic imagery to Street View.</p></div></div>

In recent years, many have made an effort to digitize physical art in an effort to preserve it for future generations and make it accessible to a wider audience. And many contemporary artists have produced creative works using digital media, to be experienced completely online. Yet while the cave paintings in <a href="http://www.bradshawfoundation.com/lascaux/">Lascaux</a> are an incredible 20,000 years old, it isn’t clear whether digitized images of that art—or any digital art created today—will last 20 years, let alone 20,000. </p><p> </p><p>That’s because digital art requires readers and, often, software in order to to be viewed, heard or experienced. And as software, browsers, and files either update versions or become obsolete, both digital art—art produced by means of computers and software—and digitized art—reproduced or copied art, rendered in digital form from original physical media—are at risk of disappearing.</p><p> </p><p>Contrary to common belief that “bits don’t die,” obsolescence is a real threat to digital art—and a major challenge as its use continues to increase. Just as preservationists have identified ways to extend the life of pigment, canvas and stone, solutions must be found to assure the longevity of digital works or they may prove to be even less resilient than their physical counterparts.</p></div></div>

<div class="block-paragraph"><div class="rich-text"><p>The creative moves <a href="https://deepmind.com/research/alphago/alphago-korea/">it played against the legendary Lee Sedol in Seoul in 2016</a> brought completely new knowledge to the Go world, while the unofficial online games it <a href="https://twitter.com/demishassabis/status/816660463282954240/photo/1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fqz.com%2F877721%2Fthe-ai-master-bested-the-worlds-top-go-players-and-then-revealed-itself-as-googles-alphago-in-disguise%2F">played under the moniker Magister (Master)</a> earlier this year have influenced many of Go’s leading professionals—including the genius Ke Jie himself. Events like this week’s Pair Go, in which two of the world’s top players partnered with AlphaGo, showed the great potential for people to use AI systems to generate new insights in complex fields.<br/></p><p><br/>This week’s series of thrilling games with the world’s best players, in the country where Go originated, has been the highest possible pinnacle for AlphaGo as a competitive program. For that reason, the Future of Go Summit is our final match event with AlphaGo.</p></div></div>
<div class="block-paragraph"><div class="rich-text"><p>The research team behind AlphaGo will now throw their energy into the next set of grand challenges, developing advanced general algorithms that could one day help scientists as they tackle some of our most complex problems, such as finding new cures for diseases, dramatically reducing energy consumption, or inventing revolutionary new materials. If AI systems prove they are able to unearth significant new knowledge and strategies in these domains too, the breakthroughs could be truly remarkable. We can’t wait to see what comes next. <br/><br/>While AlphaGo is stepping back from competitive play, it’s certainly not the end of our work with the Go community, to which we owe a huge debt of gratitude for their encouragement and motivation over the past few years. We plan to publish one final academic paper later this year that will detail the extensive set of improvements we made to the algorithms’ efficiency and potential to be generalised across a broader set of problems. Just like our first AlphaGo paper, we hope that other developers will pick up the baton, and use these new advances to build their own set of strong Go programs.<br/><br/>We’re also working on a teaching tool—one of the top requests we’ve received throughout this week. The tool will show AlphaGo’s analysis of Go positions, providing an insight into how the program thinks, and hopefully giving all players and fans the opportunity to see the game through the lens of AlphaGo. We’re particularly honoured that our first collaborator in this effort will be the great Ke Jie, who has agreed to work with us on a study of his match with AlphaGo. We’re excited to hear his insights into these amazing games, and to have the chance to share some of AlphaGo’s own analysis too.</p></div></div>
<div class="block-paragraph"><div class="rich-text"><p>Finally, to mark the end of the Future of Go Summit, we wanted to give a special gift to fans of Go around the world. Since our match with Lee Sedol, AlphaGo has become its own teacher, playing millions of high level training games against itself to continually improve. We’re now publishing a special set of 50 AlphaGo vs AlphaGo games, played at full length time controls, which we believe contain many new and interesting ideas and strategies.<br/><br/>We took the opportunity this week in Wuzhen to show some of these games to a handful of top professionals. Shi Yue, 9 Dan Professional and World Champion said the games were <i>“Like nothing I’ve ever seen before—they’re how I imagine games from far in the future.” </i>Gu Li, 9 Dan Professional and World Champion, said that <i>“AlphaGo’s self play games are incredible—we can learn many things from them.” </i>We hope that all Go players will now enjoy trying out some of the moves in the set. The first ten games are now available <a href="https://deepmind.com/research/alphago/alphago-vs-alphago-self-play-games/">here</a>, and we’ll publish another ten each day until all 50 have been released.<br/><br/>We have been humbled by the Go community’s reaction to AlphaGo, and the way professional and amateur players have embraced its insights about this ancient game. We plan to bring that same excitement and insight to a range of new fields, and try to address some of the most important and urgent scientific challenges of our time. We hope that the story of AlphaGo is just the beginning.</p></div></div>

Here's a look at what people wanted to know, and four other trending topics from the week of May 21.</p></div></div>
<div class="block-paragraph"><div class="rich-text"><h3>Attack in Manchester</h3><p>This week, a terrorist attack in Manchester, England claimed the lives of 22 people attending an Ariana Grande concert. People turned to Google to make sense of the event, searching to find out what happened, where the bomb went off, and who was responsible. Top countries searching for “Manchester” since the attacks include Mauritius, Ireland and Uganda, while the top U.S. states are New Hampshire, Connecticut and Massachusetts.</p><h3>BRETter prepare</h3><p>Search interest in “<a href="https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=now%207-d&geo=US&q=hurricane%20season">hurricane season</a>” spiked 160 percent when the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced that it predicts an “above average” Atlantic hurricane season this year. The organization expects five to nine hurricanes, which led people to search “Is NOAA ever right about the number of hurricanes?” and “How does NOAA predict hurricanes?” Here’s one thing we do know: The next hurricane will be named Bret.</p><h3>Noses are red</h3><p>On Thursday in the U.S., we celebrated <strike>the return of “Love Actually”</strike> Red Nose Day, which raises money and awareness to end child poverty. To honor the cause, the cast of “Love Actually” <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9vGoj449s4">got back together</a> for a 12-minute sequel, and stars like Ben Affleck, Ed Sheeran, Ellen DeGeneres and Emma Watson donned their red noses. Despite the backing from A-list celebs, people still turned to search for more info, like “Where can I get a Red Nose?” and “Where did Red Nose Day originate?” Fun fact: Though Rudolph used to dominate the red nose game, the biggest spike in searches for “red nose” now occur in May for Red Nose Day. </p><h3>Pandora-monium </h3><p>On Saturday, <a href="https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/destinations/animal-kingdom/pandora-world-of-avatar/">Pandora World of Avatar</a> will open at Disney’s Animal Kingdom in Orlando (what would Walt think if we called it Pandor-lando?). You don’t have to rely on your CGI-inspired imagination anymore, this park is REAL (and it’s not built from unobtainium). Search questions ranged from the logistical: “What day does Avatar land open?” to the more curious: “How much did it cost to build Pandora World?” to the niche: “What font is used for Disney’s Avatar land?” </p><h3>It was 50 years ago today</h3><p>Fixing A Hole in our hearts since 1967, this weekend marks the 50th anniversary of the release of “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.” Fans got a little help from a friend (that’s us!) when they searched for the origin of the Beatles’ name, where they’re from, and why they broke up. And who doesn’t love a good old-fashioned British pop rivalry? Search interest for “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” spiked 600 percent higher this week than when Harry Styles’ album was released earlier in the month, proving that the Beatles’ music is Only Getting Better. </p><p><br/></p></div></div>

Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band</i>, first hit the record stores in June 1967. The album was created at Abbey Road Studios and features classics like “Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds” and “With A Little Help From My Friends” in addition to the title track. Fifty years later, <i>Sgt. Pepper</i> remains a fan favorite, and is being re-issued with new mixes and tracks. Today on Google Earth’s storytelling platform, Voyager, we’re celebrating not only this beloved, influential album, but the whole of the Fab Four’s monumental contributions to rock ‘n’ roll.</p><p>The global Voyager tour highlights significant moments and places in The Beatles’ career. Their journey starts at Liverpool’s iconic Cavern Club, and ends at Strawberry Fields in New York’s Central Park, where a black-and-white tiled memorial honors the life of John Lennon. You can also fly to the Hamburg nightclub where the band performed almost nonstop for 48 days; the New York theater where they made their historic first live TV appearance in America; and India, where they experienced spiritual awakenings in the Maharishi’s ashram.</p><p>Join the Fab Four as they tour the globe with <a href="https://earth.google.com/web/@41.830797,-20.01348295,200.33238239a,4348116.25615658d,35y,0h,0t,0r/data=CjESLxIgMDgyZWEyZTMyOWMxMTFlNzg4ZTE1MzdkMzFhYmQ3MWUaC0JlYXRsZW1hbmlh">Google Earth’s Voyager</a>.</p><i>Header image courtesy of Local Guide <a href="https://maps.google.com/maps/contrib/101348624464384641796/photo">Austin Ayodeji</a></i></div></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/MKuf/~4/HREEnZT483A" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>Fri, 26 May 2017 13:00:00 +0000Fri, 26 May 2017 13:00:00 +0000The Official Google BlogBringing digital skills training to 30,000 farmers in Vietnamhttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/MKuf/~3/oTbbwo23hxE/<div class="block-image_half_width"><div class="uni-half-width align-right">

<div class="block-paragraph"><div class="rich-text"><p>Nguyen Thi Tham has worked as a farmer her entire life. She has always relied on her neighbors for information about the weather and market conditions, and she always thought she was too old to use the internet. But after a few lessons, she is now able to search for the weather forecast in Bac Giang province online, and knows exactly when to cover and protect her crops from the elements so she can harvest and sell more vegetables, even after heavy rains.<br/></p></div></div>
<div class="block-paragraph"><div class="rich-text"><p>Nearly 50 percent of Vietnam’s population—or about 45 million people—are farmers just like Tham. They rely on farming for employment and their livelihoods. But, like many places around the world, income from agriculture is declining and <a href="http://www.fao.org/vietnam/fao-in-viet-nam/viet-nam-at-a-glance/en/">productivity is low</a>, with <a href="http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/116761474894023632/pdf/108510-WP-PUBLIC.pdf">just 20 percent</a> of the country’s GDP coming from the sector. This is a huge challenge for a country that depends so heavily on farming. </p><p>Technology combined with basic digital literacy can transform lives and give rise to new opportunities. That’s why, with a Google.org grant and technical expertise from Google volunteers, we’re helping the <a href="http://vietnamfarmerunion.vn/sitepages/chuyenmuc/1082/introduction">Vietnam Farmer’s Union</a> (VNFU) deliver digital skills training to at least 30,000 farmers over the next three years.</p><p>Through online and offline training programs on how to find information on the internet, use basic productivity tools, or navigate agricultural apps, we hope more farmers across Vietnam will be able to boost productivity and their overall quality of life. We look forward to scaling the program through VNFU’s broad network (4 out of 5 households in Vietnam have someone who’s a member of the VNFU) and with their deep experience educating their beneficiaries.</p></div></div>

</div>
</div>
<div class="block-paragraph"><div class="rich-text"><p>Over the course of conducting research and several pilot trainings since the end of 2016, we’ve spoken to farmers who use the internet to improve efficiency in other ways. Some told us that they no longer needed to travel for miles to compare crop prices or the cost of farming equipment. And some were able to search for information to help them treat common ailments afflicting their animals, saving them a visit to a veterinarian several villages away. </p><p>During these pilot trainings, we also learned that many farmers already have internet access at home, or even their own smart devices, but they don’t necessarily know how to use them to their full potential. So we expanded the trainings to include the farmers’ children or grandchildren. Through this “buddy” system, pairing farmer and child, the farmers have someone at home to help them, and in this way, we hope the training program will have longer-lasting and more wide-ranging impact.</p><p>While we may not be able to reach every farmer across Vietnam, we hope that newfound digital literacy skills will lead to incremental improvements in the ways and lives of many farmers like Tham, and contribute to better outcomes for their communities.</p></div></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/MKuf/~4/oTbbwo23hxE" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>Fri, 26 May 2017 07:10:00 +0000Fri, 26 May 2017 07:10:00 +0000The Official Google BlogMake your own data gifs with our new toolhttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/MKuf/~3/eAHAakIXCWg/<div class="block-paragraph"><div class="rich-text"><p>Data visualizations are an essential storytelling tool in journalism, and though they are often intricate, they don’t have to be complex.
