Youtube daily Oct 30 2017

What's up guys Kevin here, I've been using the LG V30 for a little bit over a week now

and I've got to say I'm actually really impressed with this device.

Now this isn't the retail unit, it's actually the demo unit that LG sent out to me, but

regardless I thought I would show you guys what's on my phone like the wallpaper, some

of the apps I use on a daily basis and all that type of stuff, so without any further

adieu welcome to what's on my Android Phone 2017.

So first up, First up we're taking a look at my home page and yeah I am running Nova

Launcher Prime which is my launcher of choice just because of how easy it is to configure

and tweak the settings.

On the top of my home screen I have the Vizorg Widget or however it's pronounced but, essentially

this is themed around the original Google Pixel search bar.

All of my home screen apps are pretty much only the essentials like YouTube, Gmail, calendar,

and also Google keep to write down any of the longer notes that don't fit into my

task list.

We also do of course have Twitter and Instagram, and I've been a lot more active on Instagram

lately so if you're not already following me, make sure to check out my page, I'll

leave that linked below alongside pretty much every single app that I talk about.

But moving on to my second page, this is where you see a few folders and a widget for my

favorite tasking app which is Wunderlist.

The reason why I prefer taking tasks in Wunderlist as opposed to Google keep is because it's

a little bit more organized and it also syncs across every single device that I have.

Starting off with the folders, we have the main apps that I use for school and definitely

the most notable one is Photomath.

It's an advanced calculator that uses the smartphone's built in camera to scan math

equations which in turn can actually save you a ton of time.

Now, It's probably not the most convenient thing to use in class but the real reason

why I use this it is because it kinda feels futuristic.

Next, I have the travel folder with Uber, lyft, airbnb, and all the main airlines that

I travel with.

Now I'm not a huge smartphone gaming enthusiast, but I've gotta say if you're into CSGO

or any other desktop first person shooter you have got to check out Bullet Force.

The weapons and maps are a bit more enjoyable and balanced than other mobile titles like

Modern combat.

I also have Plague, Polyforge, and my favorite two platform games on Android are Fun Run

3 and Mario Run.

The next folder is all of my smart home control apps.

This is the eufy app that controls my Eufy Genie and the Robot Vacuum.

LIFX app controls the color and brightness of the bulbs that I use in my office and finally

Nest is for the smart thermostat in my house.

Now, the last folder is just my banking apps, and while I don't want to bore you guys

with that one but above that we have Android Pay which has been a lifesaver on so many

occasions when I forget my debit card at home.

The bottom row of apps is my by far my most used apps, I'm actually constantly checking

twitter and Spotify is my preferred music streaming service.

I am also currently using AZ Screen recorder to capture my screen on the V30 and this has

got to be the easiest recorder to use on Android.

By the way if you've been wondering how I got the new Pixel wallpaper for the V30,

well all you have to do is download the Google Wallpapers app and install the package file

which i'll have linked below.

From there, you can open up the wallpaper app and view all of these live wallpapers.

IT tycoons to appear before parliamentary audit session to talk about reversing problematic... - Duration: 0:51.

With the first parliamentary audit under the fledging Moon administration coming to a close

this week,... the leaders of Korea's IT giants will gather before lawmakers assessing the

sector on this Monday.

Executives from the country's most popular internet portal Naver, Facebook, Apple, Google

Korea and Samsung Electronics' Wireless Business Division will likely raise the issues surrounding

what they see as problematic government regulations that hinder their business operations.

But with the main opposition Liberty Korea Party's boycotting all parliamentary activity,...

it looks like the audits will not have their perspective.

The party will deliver its final say on whether or not their lawmakers will attend the audit

sessions after holding a general meeting later this morning.

Our starting point this morning,... on U.S. President Donald Trump's scheduled visit to

the Asia that begins this week-- Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe -- soon

to greet President Trump in Tokyo when he visits the country-- says the highly-anticipated

visit will allow the two leaders to cement their positions on their strong deterrence

against North Korea.

Japan's Kyodo News Agency says Abe is looking to give his full backing to President Trump's

will to use force if necessary,... following indications Washington has devised military

options to deal with North Korea,... without putting the Korean Peninsula at risk.

Abe is also reportedly looking to press the importance of expanding the U.S. nuclear umbrella

over Asian countries-- an attempt seen as cementing the strong alliance between the

two sides.

Photoshop Tutorial: How to Create an Alien Planet with Rings from Scratch! - Duration: 14:49.

Hi. This is Marty from Blue Lightning TV.

I'm going to show you how to create a hostile-looking, alien planet

encircled with rings of blue cosmic dust all from scratch.

First, we'll create a new document to place our planet and stars onto.

Press Ctrl + N on Windows or Cmd + N on a Mac or you can go to File and New.

Make the Width: 1920 pixels...the Height: 1080 pixels...and the Resolution: 72 pixels per inch.

The Color Mode is RGB, 8 bits per Channel and the background is black.

Then, click "Create" or "Open".

Go to Filter, Noise and "Add Noise".

Make the Amount: 100%, "Uniform" and check, "Monochromatic".

Then, click OK or press Enter or Return.

Go back to Filter, Blur and Gaussian Blur.

Blur it point 5 pixels.

Press Ctrl or Cmd + L to open your Levels window.

I'll drag the Input Shadow slider to 123 or you can just type it in.

I'll drag the Input Highlight slider to 205.

Next, we'll make a new document in which we'll create the planet base.

This time, make the Width and Height both 2400 pixels.

Make sure your foreground and background colors are black and white respectively.

If they're not, press "D" on your keyboard.

Go to Filter, Render and Clouds.

Go back to Filter, Render and "Difference Clouds".

Open your Levels window and drag the Input Highlight slider to approximately 154.

Go to Filter, Distort and "Spherize".

Make the Amount: 100%.

We'll spherize it more by repeating the last filter.

Press Ctrl or Cmd + F.

Open your "Elliptical Marquee Tool".

Go to a corner and press and hold the Shift key as you drag a circular selection to the opposite corner.

Holding Shift, made the selection a perfect circle.

We'll cut it out from its background by pressing Ctrl or Cmd + J.

Before we place it onto the stars background,

we'll create a new document for the basic shape that we'll use to make

our concentric rings of cosmic dust.

Keep the Width and Height 2400 pixels and the Resolution 72 pixels per inch.

Go to Filter, Render and Clouds.

Go back to Filter, Distort and Twirl.

Drag the Angle slider all the way to the right.

Next, we'll mask out the inside and outside to make it into into a donut-like shape.

Click the Layer Mask icon to make a layer mask next to the shape.

Go to the center and press and hold Alt or Option + Shift as you drag out a circular

selection from the center to the point where the twirl starts to feather out.

Go to Select, Modify and Feather.

Feather the selection 10 pixels.

Invert the selection by pressing Ctrl or Cmd + Shift + I.

We'll fill the selection with black.

Press Alt or Option + Delete to fill it with black.

Deselect it by pressing Ctrl or Cmd + D. Go to the center again, press and hold Alt or

Option + Shift and drag out another circular selection approximately this size.

We'll repeat the steps by going back to Select, Modify and Feather and feather it 10 pixels.

Then, fill it with black

and deselect it.

Now that we have all the basic elements to create our alien planet, let's begin by dragging

our base planet onto the tab of the stars document.

Press "v" to open your Move Tool and drag the planet onto the stars tab.

Then, drag it down and release.

Drag it to a position approximately here.

Click the Adjustment layer icon and click "Hue/Saturation".

We want the adjustment layer to affect only the planet and not the stars background.

To do this, either click the Clipping Mask icon or press Ctrl + Alt + G on Windows

or Cmd + Option + G on a Mac.

Check, "Colorize".

I'll keep its Hue: 0 and I'll drag the Saturation all the way to the right,

to give our planet an intense red color.

Keep in mind, you can change its Hue and Saturation at any time.

Double-click the planet layer to open its Layer Style window.

Click "Outer Glow".

Click the color box and if you picked a bright red for your planet as I have, then, pick

a bright red color for its outer glow.

The Blend Mode is "Lighten" and the Opacity is 50%.

The Technique is "Softer, the Spread is 0 and the Size is 30 pixels.

The Range is 50%.

Click "Inner Glow".

Click the color box and this time,

we'll pick a less saturated version of the color we picked for the outer glow.

The Blend Mode is "Linear Dodge" and the Opacity is 50%.

The Technique is "Softer", the Source is "Edge", the Choke is 0 and the Size is 25 pixels.

The Range is 50%.

Next, we'll place our planet in shadow.

Make the Adjustment Layer active.

We'll make a new layer above it by clicking the New Layer icon.

Clip the layer to the planet

and Ctrl-click or Cmd-click the thumbnail of the planet to make a selection of its shape.

Invert the selection and fill it with black.

Then, deselect it.

We're going to use a large brush, so let's zoom out of our document by pressing Ctrl

or Cmd and the minus key on our keyboard a number of times.

Open your Brush Tool and Brush Picker.

Make its size: 2600 pixels, the Hardness: 50% and the Opacity and Flow, both 100%.

Place your cursor approximately here and click once.

To fit your document back onto the canvas, press Ctrl or Cmd + 0.

Next, we'll add colorful, faraway nebulas behind our planet.

Open your Brush Picker and make its Size: 700 pixels and the Hardness: 0%.

Make the Opacity: 30%.

Make the Stars background active and make a new layer above it.

Make a copy of the empty layer by pressing Ctrl or Cmd + J.

I'll scroll down, so I can see the bottom 3 layers.

Go to Filter, Render and Clouds.

Clip it to the Stars background and change its Blend Mode to Vivid Light.

Make the empty layer active.

Click the foreground color and pick a medium color.

I'm picking 0096FF.

Click once over one or two areas.

Click the foreground color again and pick a different color.

I'm picking EA00FF.

Click once again over areas of the nebula.

We're ready to add the rings.

Make the top layer active.

We'll place the rings above it.

Open your rings document.

To get it onto our planet, press "v" to open our Move Tool

and drag it onto the tab of the planet document.

Without releasing your mouse or pen, drag it down and release.

We'll convert it into a Smart Object, so we can modify it non-destructively.

Click the icon at the upper, right of the Layers panel and click "Convert to Smart Object".

Go to Filter and Filter Gallery.

Open the Texture folder and click "Grain".

Make the Intensity and Contrast: 50 each and the Grain Type: "Clumped".

Change the Blend Mode to Screen.

Click the Adjustment Layer and click "Hue/Saturation".

Clip it to the rings layer.

Check Colorize".

I'll make the Hue: 220, the Saturation: 48 and the Lightness: minus 35, however, feel

free to experiment with these amounts.

Next, we'll brighten it.

Click the Adjustment Layer icon and click "Levels".

Clip it to the Rings layer.

Make the Input Shadow level: 66 and the Input Highlight level: 144.

We're ready to wrap the rings around our planet.

Make the rings layer active and zoom out approximately this much.

Press Ctrl or Cmd + T to open your Transform Tool.

If you see this message, it's just letting us know that the grain texture will be temporally

turned off while we use the Transform Tool.

Go to a bottom corner and press and hold Ctrl +Shift + Alt on Windows or Cmd + Shift + Option

on a Mac as you drag it out approximately this much.

Go inside the bounding box and drag it to a position similar to mine.

We want to ultimately keep the inside hole of the rings outside the edge of our planet.

Once we angle and position it, we'll mask out the area of the rings that go behind the planet.

Go to an outside corner and when you see a curved, double-arrow, rotate it clockwise

to an angle you like.

I'll position it to show more rings on the bottom and make sure we see the outside edge

of the rings in the distance.

Go to the left, middle anchor point and press and hold Ctrl or Cmd as you drag it straight

it out to stretch the bounding box.

Continue to finesse it until you like its perspective and position.

Then, press Enter or Return.

Fit it back onto your canvas.

Lastly, we'll hide the area of the rings that go behind the planet.

Click the Layer Mask icon to make a layer next mask to the rings.

Ctrl-click the planet or Cmd-click it to make a selection of its shape.

Open your Pencil Tool and Pencil Picker.

Make the Size: approximately 80 pixels and its Hardness and Opacity 100%.

Now brush over the rings at the top to hide it.

Then, deselect it.

This is Marty from Blue Lightning TV.

Thanks for watching!

Japan renews territorial claim to Korea's Dokdo on government website - Duration: 0:53.

We start with yet more false claims from Japan-- Tokyo has once again renewed its territorial

claim to Korea's easternmost Dokdo Island.

The claim is made on a government website-- also used as teaching materials for students.

The latest move looks sure to spark a fierce protest from Seoul.

The materials posted online falsely show Dokdo is Japanese territory and that Korea's occupation

is illegal,... referring to a Korean police detachment that has been on Dokdo since the

1950s.

This follows Japan's revised education guidelines back in March that called for teaching elementary

and middle school students that Dokdo belongs to Japan.

We are still awaiting a reaction from Korea's foreign ministry regarding the latest false

claims,... but the issue has long been a driver of diplomatic friction between the two neighbors.

Colin Kaepernick Reportedly Excluded From Meetings Between Players and NFL Owners - Duration: 1:22.

Hey guys for Complex News, I'm Natasha Martinez.

On October 25th, ESPN reported that Colin Kaepernick was expected to be invited to a

meeting between NFL owners and players scheduled for November 3rd.

However Slate is reporting that league emails and e mails from Colin's attorney deny any

invitation was made.

The meeting was spearheaded by Philadelphia Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins as part of the

NFL Players Coalition's ongoing dialogue with league owners centered on players protesting

racial inequalities during the singing of the national anthem.

Jenkins told TMZ sports that Colin was in fact invited, however Kaep's attorney Mark

Geragos told Slate that,

"We specifically reached out to the [NFL Players Association] and to the Players Coalition

[the group led by Jenkins] and we were verbatim told that Colin had no role."

He also added,

"He is open to participating in, and discussing the ideas he has led, at the next meeting

in a meaningful way."

Kaep filed a collusion grievance against NFL owners for reportedly blackballing him for

his potential beliefs and forms of protests.

He remains unsigned in favor of less accomplished quarterbacks.

Whether or not Kaepernick attends the next meeting, there appears to be a clear rift

between owners unhappy with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell's handling of the protests.

North Korea hosts series of international events possibly aimed at securing foreign exchange - Duration: 1:57.

North Korea has held its first October international marathon,... while holding a number of other

international events in recent weeks.

Watchers see the events as a way to attract tourists... and secure much-needed foreign

cash in the wake of intensified sanctions against the regime.

Our Kim Hyo-sun tells us more.

North Korea held its first fall season international marathon this year,... in addition to its

annual event in April.

Foreigners also took part in the event,... where runners pass by Pyongyang's major landmarks,...

including the Kim Il-sung Stadium.

While the regime aimed to attract a large group of foreign participants,... there were

only about two dozen foreigners out of the 230 participants.

(ENGLISH) "It's really nice to run around the streets

of Pyongyang.

There was a wonderful crowd cheering for you, and that was the best."

This isn't the only international event the North has been hosting amid intensified sanctions.

Earlier this month,... it held a furniture expo targeting Russian and Chinese vendors,...

while a fashion show showcasing Korea's traditional attire, hanbok, and a clothing expo were also

held in Pyongyang in September.

The capital's annual International Trade Fair was also bigger than usual this year.

(KOREAN) "Despite isolation and uncivilized sanctions

imposed by the U.S. and others, the 13th Pyongyang International Trade Fair was a success."

Watchers say these international events can be interpreted as the regime's attempt to

attract foreign tourists and secure foreign currency while the international community

continues to impose tougher sanctions on the country.

Korean wave in Thailand drives rapid growth of Korean language studies - Duration: 1:37.

Wherever you go in the world these days... there are signs the Korean Wave is booming.

Thailand is one place... where more and more students are choosing to the learn the Korean

language.

The country has even adopted "Hangeul" as a second foreign language for its college

entrance exam.

Park Se-young reports.

This student began to learn the Korean language on her own after she became a fan of the K-pop

boy band EXO.

Now, she loves speaking and writing Korean, …and plans to become a translator.

The student's teacher is also a first-generation Hallyu, or 'Korean wave', fan who loves K-pop

songs and dance routines.

She says students do not fall asleep in her class even though Korean is harder to learn

than English or Chinese.

(Korean) "Thai students are passionate about Korean.

They're very into K-pop and Korean culture."

Starting next year, an official Korean language textbook will be published and distributed

…and Korean will become a subject on the Thai university entrance exam.

(Korean) "Learning and knowing the Korean language

lays the foundations for not only diplomatic relations with our country, …but also for

economic exchange."

The number of Thai middle and high school students learning Korean has risen from around

three-thousand in 2010 to 30-thousand this year.

This means one out of every four foreign schoolchildren learning Korean is from Thailand.

Kurdistan President Masoud Barzani to step down - Duration: 0:36.

The president of Iraq's Kurdistan Regional Government, Masoud Barzani, has announced

he will be stepping down after his term ends on Wednesday.

His request has been accepted by the regional parliament and came amid an escalating row

with Baghdad over Kurdish independence.

Barzani has reportedly redistributed his powers between the Kurdish prime minister, parliament,

and the judiciary.

In a live televised address on Sunday, Barzani said nobody had stood up for the Kurds after

their vote on independence last month, which he said could never be erased.

Hundreds of thousands rally for unified Spain - Duration: 1:29.

Hundreds of thousands of supporters of a unified Spain took to the streets of Barcelona on

Sunday... after Catalonia was stripped of its autonomy for declaring independence a

few days before.

With more on this and other news around the world…we turn to our Ro Aram…

Aram… this was one of the biggest shows of force yet by the so-called silent majority

that has watched regional political leaders push for Catalan independence.

It is becoming more apparent that not everyone in the region wants secession, despite a referendum

earlier this month.

That's right Semin….these anti-independence supporters had been fragmented and lethargic

for a long time but the independence push seems to have awakened them.

Police had put Sunday's turnout at 300 thousand people, while organizers and the government

in Madrid claimed it was more than a million.

Many of those attending the rally even called for the sacked Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont

to be jailed.

He was dismissed as Madrid took control of Catalan institutions and dissolved the region's

parliament.

The Catalan leadership, however, is refusing to give in, saying it does not recognize the

orders from the Spanish central government.

Political parties opposing a split by Catalonia from Spain had a small lead in an opinion

poll published on Sunday, the first since Madrid called a regional election to try to

resolve the on-going crisis.

Catalans are now set to vote for a new regional parliament on December 21st.

Jibo vs Alexa vs Siri - Robot Companions for Your Home (and Loneliness) - Duration: 4:04.

[Caller] I don't know, I guess I'm just kinda worried

that some company's gonna crack

this artificial personality thing.

Then people will prefer talking

to their computer-generated friends

instead of their real friends.

I already see it happening.

- [Host] Quick Theories is an intimate conversation

between you and I about the future of technology

and how it will impact our lives.

I'm QuHarrison Terry, and this is Quick Theories.

I was just beginning to come around to the fact

that robots are entering our workplace.

And now they've dropped something new on us, right?

Robots are coming into our homes.

Now, these robots aren't anything like Rosie,

the robot in the Jetsons, who cooked and cleaned.

These home robots are more of a friend

than a helping hand.

That's why I like to refer to them as robot companions.

Now, the most basic robot companions we have today

are digital assistants such as Amazon Echo,

Google Home, and Siri.

And many people find them useful

as hands-free search engines, or to set reminders.

But where they fall short is personality.

Talking to Siri is like talking to a wall.

Now, obtaining personality is the only way

I think a digital assistant that we have today

like Siri or Alexa, or assistant,

can evolve into a robot companion.

Now, this is something that a product known as Jibo

got right essentially.

So, how did Jibo make the leap

from digital assistant to robot companion?

Believe it or not, it's all in the aesthetic design.

In a way, Jibo is similar to the Pixar lamp.

You know, in the opening of every Pixar movie

there's the lamp that jumps on the 'I' in Pixar.

Well, Jibo was made of three separate shifting components

which mimic human shoulder positions.

This makes it seem curious, attentive, and interested.

And as a result, it feels like Jibo

cares about what you have to say.

Now, the interesting thing about Jibo

is that they marketed it to families with kids.

In their promo video, Jibo tells a little girl

a bedtime story.

What's more concerning, though, is that Jibo

is the last thing she says goodnight to,

which led me to question,

did they really advertise Jibo

as a replacement to the quintessential

parent-child interaction, the bedtime story?

On the flip side, I understand that the parent

might not always be there to say goodnight,

so maybe Jibo is a nice way to ease a child to sleep

rather than falling asleep on your own.

But I swear we're dancing on a fine line here.

Because I'm concerned kids will become more obsessed

with interacting with a program personality

than a human.

Now, what's crazy here is that, in three years,

10% of Americans will have a robot in their home,

so that's 2020.

And I think this will continue to grow

to 90% by 2030.

So, this is a small concern today

that's quickly evolving into a big concern.

To get a fresh perspective on this topic,

ask my friend's thought on this question:

how can we responsibly bring technology

into our homes without creating

a dungeon of solitude amongst kids?

- [Guest] My parents gave my brother and I

a lot of space to grow on our own.

That's why I believe it's a parent's job

to help their kids find those environments

where they can discover their own identities.

Now, this might mean avoiding these programmed personalities

altogether, or it might mean

letting them hang out with Jibo all the time.

I don't know, I guess it really depends on

how it affects each individual kid's personality

and their social skills.

- [Host] Now, I would agree.

Robot companions have great potential

in eliminating friction around the house,

and providing entertaining and informative experiences.

But they don't come without any side effects.

Like any other evolutionary piece of technology,

it's important that we find the balance

between our human identity and the technology itself.

As robot companions begin displaying human personalities

in the coming decade, we must question their effect

on our social selves.

The Changing Role of Cafes - Duration: 5:00.

A cafe is a type of restaurant serving various refreshments.

However, its role has been changing in recent years as more people are choosing to study

and work there.

Let's zoom in on this trend and how today's cafes are satisfying the changing demands

of customers.

Myeongdong in the heart of Seoul... is one of the most crowded areas in the capital with

streets full of cafes.

Jeong Hyeon-wook is a university student in his final year, but he frequents cafes more

often than his school library.

He goes to a cafe at least three to four times a week on his own to study.

(Korean, ) "I feel a little claustrophobic in my school

library, but coffee shops have a freer atmosphere that allows me to study with a group of friends

or answer phone calls among other benefits.

These convenient elements attract me to study at coffee shops."

( . , , , .)

This cafe franchise introduced quiet-study seating in its cafes last April.

Just like a library, each seat has a partition and power outlet, making it the perfect place

to concentrate.

Plus, beverages and snacks are readily available for students and workers as light meals and

refreshments.

Then what makes cafe franchises try to attract more of this particular group of customers?

(Korean, ) "Customers usually start their work and studies

with coffee or other beverages.

After focusing on their work for a while, they consume some sandwiches and cakes additionally,

which really increase our sales."

(1 . 2 .)

With a growing number of people working and studying, cafes are now being called "coffice,"

a combination" of cafe" and "office."

(Korean, ) "I study for about three to five hours every

time I come to a coffee shop."

( ( ) .)

According to one survey, 4 out of 5 adults answered they have studied or worked at cafes

before,

Have You Ever Studied or Worked at Cafe?

* Survey of 361 adults Yes: 79% No: 21%

Source: Incruit, 2016

while 2 out of 5 university students said that they go to cafes regularly to study.

Why do some prefer to study and work at a coffee house rather than the library or office?

(Korean, ) "Cafes are much more open than ordinary office

spaces while offering a sense of connectivity at the same time.

Therefore, coffee shops are becoming multi-functional spaces where people can enjoy not only good

coffee but work and have meetings."

Some small-sizes cafes are have ongoing conflict with coffee shop studiers and workers.

Because they study and work in cafes for long periods of time, sales can suffer.

To minimize their losses, some cafe owners adopted the "No Study Zone" rule or "Laptop-Free

Zone" rule.

Efforts have been made to ease the conflicts, and hourly-based cafes are the result.

It charges customers based on time spent, so that both parties can be happy.

The first hourly-based cafe was opened in April 2016.

Within a year and a half, there are now 21 hourly-based cafes, which is a testament to

the efficacy of the system.

(Korean, ) "The number of coffee-shop studiers keeps

on growing, yet they feel uncomfortable studying at cafes because they know that they are unwelcomed.

This phenomenon naturally created a demand for space that students and workers can freely

rent.

Libraries and study rooms aren't preferred due to the restricted environment, so this

kind of study caf?

offers a perfect option to meet the complex needs of customers."

What makes these hourly-based cafes special is the focus on the space itself rather than

service of beverages or snacks.

Also, customers are not allowed to talk in person or on the phone in the cafes to ensure

the perfect study and work atmosphere.

Cafes are evolving to meet the demands of their customers.

(Korea, ) "I feel like I can stay for about three hours

at a normal coffee shop, otherwise, I have to order more food and drinks.

However, this place is very good in the sense that I can stay as long as I want."

(Korean, ) "These days, consumers see coffee shops not

only as a place to get coffee, but also a cultural complex where they can sit down,

relax, socialize, study and read.

This trend is expected to create an increasing demand for cafes with a variety of concepts,

ranging from small-sized, cozy cafes that are perfect for SNS to hourly-based cafes

to library and book cafes among others."

In tune with the needs of customers, cafes are becoming increasingly versatile, shaping

new lifestyle traditions and social dynamics.
