QUES: Technological developments by videoconferencing developers in the 2010s have extended the capabilities of video conferencing systems beyond the boardroom for use with hand-held mobile devices that combine the use of video, audio and on-screen drawing capabilities broadcasting in real-time over secure networks, independent of location. Mobile collaboration systems now allow multiple people in previously unreachable locations, such as workers on an off-shore oil rig, the ability to view and discuss issues with colleagues thousands of miles away. Traditional videoconferencing system manufacturers have begun providing mobile applications as well, such as those that allow for live and still image streaming.

What is an example of a place that videoconferencing can be used today?
What is the answer?
ANS: hand-held mobile devices
QUES: In The New Yorker music critic Jody Rosen described Beyonce as "the most important and compelling popular musician of the twenty-first century..... the result, the logical end point, of a century-plus of pop." When The Guardian named her Artist of the Decade, Llewyn-Smith wrote, "Why Beyonce? [...] Because she made not one but two of the decade's greatest singles, with Crazy in Love and Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It), not to mention her hits with Destiny's Child; and this was the decade when singles particularly R&B singles regained their status as pop's favourite medium. [...] [She] and not any superannuated rock star was arguably the greatest live performer of the past 10 years." In 2013, Beyonce made the Time 100 list, Baz Luhrmann writing "no one has that voice, no one moves the way she moves, no one can hold an audience the way she does... When Beyonce does an album, when Beyonce sings a song, when Beyonce does anything, it's an event, and it's broadly influential. Right now, she is the heir-apparent diva of the USA the reigning national voice." In 2014, Beyonce was listed again on the Time 100 and also featured on the cover of the issue.

For example, what Brunswick-Balke-Collender (Brunswick Corporation) did was different from the practices of Victor.

How was standardization prior to 1942?
