But why does dependence on technology damage our brains when we have almost everything at our fingertips thanks to smartphones and tablets? The human brain is busier than ever before. In the age of email, Facebook and Twitter, time requires us to multitask. Which takes its toll. Dependence on technology makes us less, not more efficient.
Saudi Arabia is the first country in the world to grant citizenship to a robot named Sophia. This was presented at the Future Investment Initiative event, a platform for discussing current and long-term global investment trends. Sophia is capable of different facial expressions and can recognize other faces, look people in the eye and speak completely naturally.
CES 2018, which took place in the American Las Vegas between January 9 and 12, is behind us. More than 3,900 companies exhibited at the international consumer electronics fair, so around 170,000 participants from 150 countries had the opportunity to see a lot of new things.
The development of technology has led to the creation of many artificial materials. At the same time, we have somewhat forgotten how many useful substances the Earth offers. Fortunately, there are still people among us who know how to take advantage of them.
Wind farms that convert the kinetic energy of the wind into other types of energy are great. But modern windmills are unfortunately still quite large. The Trinity, however, is different, as it folds into a small cylinder. It is a portable wind turbine with three blades (hence the name) that can be used even with the smallest wind (the wind must blow at a speed of at least 6.4 km/h). It is waterproof and has a battery that can store energy. It comes in different sizes, from the kind you can put in your pocket, to the kind you can put on the roof of your motorhome or in your front garden.
With the vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication system, car brands are exploring the new possibilities it offers. Lexus has come up with a solution that it calls Lane Valet, and it will be welcomed by all of you who have ever been stuck on the highway behind some "crusher" who did not know how to move from the fast lane to the driving lane.
One of the biggest technology events of the year – the Consumer Electronics Show – is fast approaching. CES 2018 will take place between January 9 and 12 in Las Vegas. The presenting companies will try to present their products in the best possible light.
Facebook will get a major visual upgrade. What used to be a profile picture can soon be a video! It is a short video that will be played to anyone who chooses to visit our profile.
We always read only about the successes of the greatest inventors, businessmen, athletes and other influencers. But their path to success was largely not strewn with roses, and they often had to jump over many obstacles and learn from their mistakes. The father of Apple, Steve Jobs, also broke it quite a few times. We will even be able to use one of these polomias in 2018.
The Sugr Cube is a modernly designed portable speaker, behind the idea that enjoying music should be within reach. The Sugr Cube is literally just that, as it can be controlled by touch.
We live in a changing world where technology and products are developing so fast that we can hardly keep up. Today, we can already say that a product "goes out of date" even before it appears on store shelves, and it is no different in the fashion world. With the daily flood of novelties and trendy products, we quickly lose interest and become bored. We always yearn for that new thing that we urgently need, but the desire is too strong to resist.
