April 1st, known as April Fool's Day in many countries, is a date when hoaxes and fake news abound on the Internet. In the technological field, there was no shortage of publications that surprised more than one with extravagant and not very credible announcements. From partnerships between unlikely companies to revolutionary inventions that defy the laws of physics, fake news flooded social networks and media. While some of these stories may have seemed tantalizingly real, it's important to remember that April 1 is a day to keep your guard up and enjoy the pranks with humor and skepticism.
In light of this, I will tell you about a news coming from the official Boston Dynamics account, which announced a future partnership with a startup that designs and manufactures personal aviation systems.
It was specified that they intended to venture into a new trend of flying humanoids and also the Atlas robot itself would have the ability to fly as it would incorporate these propulsion systems.

They also mentioned that tests were already being carried out in Boston Harbor and that Atlas would compete in jetpack competitions along with people; In short, this entire initiative would have as its objective the inspection and maintenance of wind turbines, cleaning of skyscrapers, fire control, rescue, among others.
For those of you who haven't caught up yet, this was just an April Fool's joke. I hope you are well I say goodbye until a new opportunity.
