Brain Chip Implants Rapidly Expanding, Meaning New Future Use Cases

Good news for low and no mobility people (and sci fi nerds!) – brain chips are officially science FACT. This breakthrough isn’t exactly new, but it’s expanding at a mind-numbing (get it?) rate. Less than a hundred people worldwide have functioning brain-computer interfaces installed, but these folks are able to live with comparative ease. They can scroll the web, make calls, turn lights on and off, and play games – all without having to move a muscle. Instead, the chip installed in the top of the head reads brain signals and sends the messages to their computer. With efforts to take the hardware worldwide underway, we’re looking at a future where tech is quite literally a part of us. Your kids might opt into a computer in their brains as easily as they would a new cell phone.

New Cars Begin ‘Catering’ To Gen Z Work-Life Trends

Ahh, the car of the future. We probably won’t be in Jetsons territory for a few years yet, but…we’re getting there. In the early 2000s, folks were a little freaked out by the Prius. A few years ago, the Tesla seemed like an alien spacecraft. And tomorrow…well, we might be looking at some unusual designs and features that make the old school look like they came from the stone age. But will the novelty trend catch? Or will we see a wave of nostalgia like we are now, a longing for manual shift drive and good old fashioned gasoline power? Gen Z is quick to adopt new technology, but they’re also a thoughtful and poignant generation. They don’t seem as easily wooed as one might expect. So where are we going from here? Hop in, and we’ll take a peek.

Robogirlfriends On The Rise

The future of relationships is looking mighty strange, folks. About a decade ago, it was a little funny to hear that a couple had met online and were going strong. “How are you supposed to make genuine connections through the internet?” was a common enough question. Then online dating and matchmaking became deliberate, and apps like Tinder and Plenty Of Fish took off. According to statistics, almost 40% of couples today met digitally. So what will the future hold? There’s a new trend emerging in the world of URL-to-IRL romance – one where the partner isn’t a real person at all. Does this signal the rise of one-sided relationships? Or will the trend collapse and be nothing more than an internet historical footnote? One thing is clear: the traditional guidelines for dating are becoming more blurred than ever.
