  • The biggest impact of artificial intelligence will be to help humans make discoveries we couldn’t make on our own.
  • AI’s greatest economic impact could come from its potential as a new “method of invention” that ultimately reshapes “the nature of the innovation process and the organization of R&D.”
  • It is taking more researchers and money to find productive new ideas, according to economists at Stanford and MIT. That’s a likely factor in the overall sluggish growth in the US and Europe in recent decades.

  • a new kind of Silicon Valley parent. Instead of tricking out their homes with all the latest technology, many of today's parents working or living in the tech world are limiting — and sometimes outright banning — how much screen time their kids get.
  • short-term consequences among teens and adolescents who are heavy users of tech. These include heightened risks for depression, anxiety, and, in extreme cases, suicide.
  • parents told Business Insider that it's often hard to strike a balance in limiting tech use, since kids quickly begin to feel left out of their peer group. The longer parents try to impose their restrictions, the more they fear they're essentially raising a well-adjusted outcast.

CIS KE Social LEGO play themes

  • The University of Canterbury team, led by Christoph Bartneck of the university's Human Interface Technology Lab, wanted to explore one way Lego might be influencing children through play. Toys, and play time, are considered vital to the development of emotional understanding in children, and with an average of 75 Lego blocks per human on Earth it makes sense to see what kinds of emotions Lego is presenting to children
  • On average, heads displayed 3.9 different emotions, which means that for a lot of the faces their emotional state is reasonably complex and ambiguous.
  • We cannot help but wonder how the move from only positive faces to an increasing number of negative faces impacts how children play

  • High-profile mobile money launches by Apple and Samsung may have caught the headlines
  • But it is the developments in payments systems in supposedly less developed nations in Africa and Asia that point the way to the probable future for wider mobile banking.
  • the reality remains that the mobile phone as a means of payment remains relatively niche even in developed markets.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • But analysts anticipate a further shift as more financial services and greater interactivity are added, which is when mobile payments will become mobile banking.
  • In the UK, for example, just 1 per cent
  • the mobile phone is taking on extra roles as a place to keep money safe and move it around, as well as to acquire other financial services from trusted providers.
  • services are quickly expanding to include loan disbursement, bill payment and micro insurance.
  • In the next few years mobile banking apps will become the predominant means to access all routine banking services, from applying for a loan or overdraft increase to letting the bank know you are moving house
  • So while we are working closely with digital giants such as Apple, Samsung and Google to roll out their payment services, we’re also working with the banks to create their own payment functionality embedded within their existing hugely popular banking apps

    The article is about a shifting consumer behaviour in mobile payments and that it's not driven by developed economies with the established finical systems but rather by the emerging regions, like Africa and Asia

Энтузиаст Иен Джиммерсон [Ian Jimmerson] решил совместить свои хобби, и изготовил модель радиального двигателя в натуральную величину. Почти все части двигателя выполнены из дерева, цилиндры же для наглядности сделаны из прозрачного пластика.

    Итальянская компания Jet Capsule, известная миру как производитель яхт, недавно представила автономный плавучий жилой дом. Внешне этот дом очень напоминает летающую тарелку, поэтому получил название UFO, что расшифровывается как неопознанный плавающий объект (Unidentified Floating Object). Используя водяной реактивный двигатель с электрическим мотором Torqeedo Deep Blue 1800, дом может передвигаться на воде со скоростью 3,5 узла (6.5 километров в час).
