South Korea has so many of these animal-themed cafes! As far as I know, we don't have them in the States, or at least not in the vicinity where I live. It's such a neat idea, because people who can't have pets have the opportunity to play with cats, dogs or raccoons!

A note of warning... These raccoons were bred from a very young age, take yearly shots, and have been around people most of their lives, so they are quite safe to be around with. Please do not befriend the trash panda that frequents your neighborhood. Raccoons are still considered wild animals and may hurt you, no matter how innocent they look.

Have you heard that we are in the fourth industrial revolution now? The fourth industrial revolution is characterized by breakthrough technologies in robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), 3D printing and the Internet of Things. A few days ago, Hanyang University in Seoul successfully finished testing a self-driving car. According to the report, it drove about eight kilometers, having no problems changing lanes, swerving, and it even followed the speed limit! This was possible because of the completed development of the 5G network. The speed of this network allows the car to drive and respond to real time data coming from installed sensors. Engineers and businesses are excited to see what new applications will be discovered with 5G. 

You'd be surprised to find out that Seoul has WiFi almost everywhere. Despite being a small country, it is successful, very high-tech and has a first-world status. Accordingly, the goal is to make 5G public by 2020.
