I wake up in 2035 in a world where artificial intelligence has taken over virtually every task we once called “work.” Since that pivotal year of 2026, when AI became a globally recognized tool (and almost a family member), things have only gone up—exponentially up. The result? Today, I have more time as an editor than ever before, as journalism and digital media have changed beyond recognition, and in many places, have simply disappeared into oblivion. My role as an editor has gone from “the one who works late into the night on deadlines” to “the one who gets up in the morning in his pajamas and directs robots and thinks about the meaning of life over coffee.”

Let's be honest: until yesterday, motorcycle navigation seemed like a scene from a comedy of errors. You have three options: either tape a phone to your handlebars and it shakes like it's cold; listen to a voice in your earpiece yelling "TURN LEFT NOW" at 130 km/h when you're already past an exit; or use the old method - stopping at every other intersection and arguing with your passenger. But now the Swiss and Indians have come up with a solution that looks like it was stolen from Tony Stark's lab. It's the TVS Aegis Rider Vision Helmet.
Forget Agatha Christie and the dark intrigues of sleeping cars; the Orient Express is taking to the seas and, let’s face it, Hercule Poirot would happily wet his waxed moustache with this luxury. Introducing the Corinthian, a sea monster of sophistication that promises to completely shatter your previous notion of a cruise – the one with the bad buffet and the crowded pool. Is it a sailboat? Is it a superyacht? Is it a floating hotel that’s more chic than your apartment? Is it all of these. Get your sunglasses and credit cards ready.
Welcome to Las Vegas, the only city in the world where your TV is smarter than your dog and your phone costs more than your first Honda Civic. Las Vegas. A city of sin that once a year becomes a place of circuits, soldering, and promises that rarely come true. We're on the cusp of CES 2026 (Consumer Electronics Show), and if you thought the tech industry had reached its peak with smart wine stoppers, you'd be wrong. This year, it's all about robots that are finally going to save us from housework and screens so bright you'll need sunglasses in your own living room. Elvis may have left the building, but artificial intelligence has entered—and this time it has arms, legs, and probably a better sense of fashion than you.
In February, I'm going to Zagreb to test Tesla's FSD (Full Self-Driving) - what I've been waiting for since the legendary Knight Rider series. A car that finally drives itself. Remember when I wrote a few days ago that Porsche is dead? Many of you jumped into the air, saying that I have no idea about "driving pleasure" and "the smell of gasoline". Let me explain why the reason for the death of this icon is not that they don't know how to build a good chassis. The reason is that their business model has become irrelevant - completely overrun. Porsche sells you the illusion that you are a racer. Tesla sells you the truth: that you are completely unnecessary as a driver. Let me explain. Why your grandchildren will view driving as horse riding.
Let's face it, Lexus is a brand for people who order room temperature water at a restaurant. They're reliable, comfortable, and as quiet as a librarian in slippers. But every now and then, something strange happens in the basement of a Toyota factory. Engineers apparently break into the sake cabinet, watch too many episodes of "The Fast and the Furious," and create something that makes no sense at all, but is also absolutely fantastic. Introducing the Lexus RZ 600e F SPORT Performance. A car that looks like it wants to beat your Tesla on the school playground. And guess what? It might even succeed.
Get ready. Something is coming that will forever change the way we perceive the world around us. I'm talking about the silent but brutal death of a concept we've taken for granted for the last 150 years: "Seeing is believing." It's the death of truth on the internet.
In a world where smartphones have become boring slabs of glass, distinguishable only by how prominently their cameras protrude, Xiaomi has just thrown a hand grenade into a room full of engineers. The new Xiaomi 17 Ultra Leica Edition is more than just a phone. It's proof that someone in Beijing is actually listening to our nagging and is daring to make something that's both completely insane and absolutely brilliant.
If you thought autonomous driving was the pinnacle of technology, you were asleep at the wheel. The new neuromorphic e-skin (NRE-Skin) doesn't just deliver touch, it delivers real, authentic pain. And trust me, it's the best safety feature since the airbag. We tested how the "chassis" that senses every scratch performs.
If I see another "reimagined" Porsche 911 with quilted leather and the price of a small island, I'm probably going to puke. Seriously. The restomod world has become so saturated with German bugs that it's almost vulgar. But just when I thought the rich had run out of imagination, along comes the Encor Series 1. A car that takes the legendary Lotus Esprit, strips it of its British tendency to decay, and adds what it always needed—modern engineering and a carbon diet.
The irony of the coming era is complete: the more digital and AI we become, the more expensive it will be to pay those who can remain brutally analog. Artificial intelligence will make mediocrity free, and genuine human contact will become the most expensive luxury on the market. The algorithm will not replace you because it is smarter than you, but because you have become boring. Let me explain!
Forget about creams that cost half the rent. This time, the secret to a youthful appearance is not hidden in a Parisian perfumery, but in your vegetable drawer. Beets and flax seeds? Oh, yes. It's homemade Botox.
