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. 
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.
Elon, Elon, Elon…after what feels like an eternity, Elon Musk’s purchase of social media platform, Twitter, is complete. As promised (dare we say feared), so too came the structural changes that may quite well signal the end of an era. Content moderation reforms, advertiser exits (right behind executive firings), and questions about the company’s ability to sustain itself financially are at the forefront of most news sources this week. Oh…did we mention that you’ll probably be able to buy a “blue-check” verification soon. As a subscription service, of course. We’re sureeeeee spending money on a previously free (and exclusive) feature is exactly what’s going to keep users happy. Just kidding – Twitter has seen a steady decline in users for the past couple of years, with their already low Zoomer demographic decreasing even more (not to mention the decline of Twitter in general).
