Curious tech and technology from the realm of science and science fiction.
Will Robotics Be The Assist Humanity Needs Or Are They Our Eventual Downfall
The Future Is Now Nearly Here It’s easy to say the future is now because with every technological achievement once deemed impossible, we sometimes feel like we are living in the future. What does the future of humanity look like as we grow nearer to some of the tech advancements imagined in science fiction movies? Will it be a prosperous future or a dystopian world of our design? It will involve robotics.

The Future Of Technology Is In The Cloud
introduction In the last decade, we've seen smartphones, smart homes and self-driving cars pop up in the media. Most of this technology was built to run in our local environments, but the amount of computing power and data that's been pouring in has made it necessary to take the technology to the cloud. While this shift has been inevitable for a while, it's finally happening. We'll look at what these things look like, how you can benefit from this technology and how it's changing the future.

Charlatocracy: Welcome to the Rise of Anti-intellectualism, Anti-Democracy, and Pixiedust Economics
Tesla has been producing electric cars since 2003. When Martin Eberhard and Mark Tarpenning founded the company, they had spent several years working on electrical vehicle science and hoped to one day change the world and create affordable electrical vehicles. When Tesla first registered in California, Elon Musk was not attached to the company, and instead was toying around with the idea of building spaceships to send humans into outer space, most specifically the oxygen deprived, highly radiated rock planet of Mars. Eberhard, Tarpenning, and Musk met at a Mars exploration club in the early aughts. Musk had no experience in advanced mechanical engineering. Most of his income and experience came from software programming, which was essentially the code writing that helped him hit it big with one of his initial projects—Paypal, the online payment system. When developing what would go on to become SpaceX, Musk’s first adventure in the aeronautics industry was a failed attempt at buying cheap Russian rockets to bring back to America (quite possibly an illegal operation based on U.S. government restrictions on foreign nationals buying and importing Russian space technology). Now, about two decades later, Musk can topple entire currencies with several taps on his smart phone.
