I’ve started off with exploring the 5G, more precisely the concept of network slicing. It was really interesting besides the 5G being different beast compared its predecessors.

Then I started imagining what would such a sophisticated tech will bring into the human lives. Like the disruptive LIKES like Internet, AI, Blockchain are already doing !!

But then I dived into much bigger topic ‘Virtualization’

Most popular and successful tech was Virtual Machine back in days when there was no difference between a server that’s running a OS and the hardware its running on !!

Now, almost all the servers that host enormous number of software apps are all virtual machines (VMs)

Now, that I remember transistor, a basic element in any Hardware that runs all our software was once a Switch, literally controlling the flow of current.

Transistor as a switch

Micro controllers, micro processors are now very deep abstraction layers that are almost completely hidden to a common user

All Virtual…

Virtual Machines, Virtual Meetings, Virtual Offices , Virtual Sports and Games Virtual Assistants, Virtual Assets (Crypto), Virtual Networks (5G)

I think, Virtual is Real for sure, its gonna be more powerful than Real :)

Let’s see !!! but I will return to my original topic, 5G Network Slicing in my next ..
