Exploring the impact of technology on human life, society, and well-being.
A major breakthrough in brain-computer interface (BCI) technology has restored the ability to communicate for a 47-year-old woman who lost her speech following a severe stroke. For the first time, a brain implant has been successfully used to translate neural activity into spoken words in near real-time, marking a significant step forward in assistive neurotechnology….
We are at the crossroads of an agricultural revolution that promises sweeping changes to how we produce food, live, and interact with the environment. This transformation is not just about new farming techniques or food sources, but a deeper shift—one that challenges our very understanding of what it means to be human and how we…
The integration of technology with the human brain is no longer a concept of science fiction. Companies and research institutions around the world are racing to develop brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) that could revolutionize how humans interact with machines. Among these, Neuralink, a company founded by Elon Musk, has gained significant attention for its ambitious goals….
“Through the release of atomic energy, our generation has brought into the world the most revolutionary force since prehistoric man’s discovery of fire. This basic power of the universe cannot be fitted into the outdated concept of narrow nationalism.” — Statement by the Emergency Committee of Atomic Scientists, led by Albert Einstein, January 22, 1947…
The rapid rise of digital technology has transformed everyday life, but not without consequences—especially for younger generations. As smartphones, tablets, and social media become woven into the fabric of childhood, concerns are mounting about their long-term impact. Governments across Europe, including Sweden and France, have started imposing school-hour phone bans, acknowledging that digital dependency is…
The potential connection between mobile phone radiation and brain cancer has been a subject of ongoing scientific research and public concern. Over the years, various studies have explored the impact of radiofrequency radiation emitted by mobile devices on human health. While some studies suggest a possible link between mobile phone use and certain types of…
A growing body of research suggests that early exposure to screens may be linked to an increased risk of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in children. Findings from the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children, funded by the Australian government, have highlighted a significant correlation between high screen time in early childhood and later ASD diagnoses. The…
In today’s interconnected world, Wi-Fi technology is an integral part of daily life, providing seamless internet access in homes, offices, and public spaces. However, concerns have been raised about the potential health effects of radiofrequency (RF) radiation emitted by Wi-Fi devices. While some theories suggest a link between prolonged exposure to Wi-Fi signals and adverse…
In their collaborative work, “Genesis: Artificial Intelligence, Hope, and the Human Spirit,” the late Henry Kissinger, former U.S. Secretary of State, teams up with technologists Eric Schmidt, ex-CEO of Google, and Craig Mundie, former Chief Research and Strategy Officer at Microsoft, to explore the profound implications of artificial intelligence (AI) on human existence. This book…
In an age of pervasive surveillance, Big Brother is no longer just a looming figure from a dystopian novel. He is here, always watching—not merely observing but shaping the very way we perceive reality. A study from the University of Technology Sydney reveals that CCTV cameras do more than monitor behavior; they alter how our…
