The #10YearChallenge was all fun and memes until last week, when a tweet moved thousands of people to worry: Are we unknowingly helping giant corporations to improve their algorithms for biometric identification and age progression?
The #10YearChallenge gained widespread traction on social media this month. It calls for posting two photos of yourself side by side — one from today and one from a decade ago — to show how you’ve changed. People are participating mostly on Facebook and Instagram, which is owned by Facebook.
Some made jokes, paid tribute to old hairstyles or drew attention to issues like global warming. Celebrities posted glamour shots that showed negligible changes from one decade to the next. (The singer Mariah Carey won this round. “I don’t get this 10 year challenge,” she wrote in a tweet, along with two identical photos side by side. “Time is not something I acknowledge.”)
But one post went viral without featuring any side-by-side photos at all. It was written by Kate O’Neill, the author of the book “Tech Humanist: How You Can Make Technology Better for Business and Better for Humans.”

AR (Augmented Reality) Technologies While Learning and Teaching Foreign Language
It is an example of AR technology .In future our classes will be more attractive and colorful than today's classes.Students can easily imagine with help of AR technology.For instance , dinosaurs are endangered species and we know species of dinosaurs but we can not imagine as 3D in our minds. Foreign language teaching is a big area for AR technology because vocabulary is an important part of learning and it can be improved with many techniques such as memorization ,narrating of vocabulary and vocabulary using in sentence but it is a long process for both students and teachers. These techniques do not have masterstroke and they are not suitable for all students and teachers.Since especially young learners want to learn with their five sense organs . AR and VR technologies give change to use these five sense organs and real and permanent knowledge is created through the instrumentality of AR .This picture is the periodic table of ios apps for AR technology for creating your AR .
