For tech-crazy travellers, below are four most advanced tech destinations to visit.
Silicon Valley, America
Home to many of the world’s largest high-tech corporations.
In Apple Park, the Visitor Center is the only part tourists are permitted to visit. There are four main areas: an
Apple Store featuring Apple-branded goods not sold at regular Apple stores, a cafe, an exhibition space, and a roof
terrace overlooking the campus.
In the Googleplex, there is no Google campus tour. The only way a member of the public can tour the inside
of campus buildings is by an employee — so if you happen to know one, ask him or her to show you around.
Zhongguancun, China
A technology center in Haidian District.
Known as “Electronics Avenue” from the early 1980s on, due to its information technology markets, in 1999,
it became the “Zhongguancun Science & Technology Zone”, with seven parks, where over 12,000 high-tech
enterprises were operating according to the 2004 Beijing Statistical Yearbook.
Many world-famous technology companies built their Chinese headquarters and research centers in
Zhongguancun Technology Park, such as Google, Intel.

The world’s “most wired city”, ranked first in technology readiness by PwC’s Cities of Opportunity report.
With the world’s highest fibre-optic broadband widely accepted and the highest global average Internet speeds of
26.1 Mbit/s, it is among the world leaders in Internet connectivity. In some apartment buildings, Internet speeds
reach up to 52.5 Gbit/s.
Bangalore, India
The “IT capital of India” plays a role as the nation’s leading IT exporter. Around 47% of the 265
biotechnology companies in India are located in Bangalore. Bangalore’s IT industry is divided into three main
groups, of which the International Tech Park, Bangalore (ITPB) provides campus facilities for multinational giants
like General Motors, Huawei and so on.

Radio was known as a stress reliever in the past, but a few charms (魅力) have been lost with the
digitalization of music.
George Oliver Jr. realized that radio should be brought back and should compete with the existing music
streaming platforms. He decided to take the radio online. As George has been a Disc Jockey for most of his life, he
could relate the radio with the music trends.
Starting an online radio site and maintaining (维护) it was not as easy as it seemed. Realmuzic. net began with
a rough start. Not many people knew about this online radio station. They were so consumed by the new tech that
they did not want to go back to the radio-centric music streaming service.

的) playlists that played 24/7 on Realmuzic. net. He and his team saw a massive increase in their site-visits. Their
excellent song selection allowed the listeners to take a trip down memory and the good old times they spent
listening to the radio stations.
Their next step was to bridge the gap between Gen Z and radio. They have grown up with smartphones in their
hands and have a reputation for being one of the toughest to please. Born in the Internet time, the concept of radio
seemed very foreign to them. Challenges excited George, so he took it upon himself to make radio appealing for
Gen Z.
To both preserve the existing audience and attract the new, Gen Z, they updated their playlists, organized
different shows, called many modern-day artists on the radio shows, and better the user experience of their website.
Today Realmuzic. net is listened to by 52 million music lovers across 120 countries. As the CEO of Realmuzic.

This past year, I’ve found myself returning again and again to lines of poetry by Emily Dickinson. Like many
people, I’ve needed the curing effects of reading more than ever. As scientists and psychologists will tell you, books
are good for the brain and their benefits are particularly vital now.
Books expand our world, providing an escape and offering novelty, surprise and excitement. They broaden
our view and help us connect with others. Books can also distract us and help reduce our mental chatter. When we
