Smart glasses have been heralded as the next big leap in wearable technology—promising to blend digital information seamlessly with the real world. From early prototypes to high-profile launches, the vision of augmented reality (AR) glasses transforming how we work, communicate, and navigate has captured imaginations for years. Yet, despite billions invested and decades of development, […]

Introduction Imagine a world where technology understands your needs, preferences, and emotions before you even say a word. This is no longer the realm of science fiction. Advances in artificial intelligence, biometric sensing, and predictive analytics are creating devices and systems that anticipate our desires, moods, and actions—sometimes eerily accurately. This article explores the rise […]

We live in an age of constant connection—pinging, scrolling, swiping, liking. Every digital platform promises community, interaction, presence. Yet beneath the flood of notifications and emoji reactions, an uncomfortable truth settles in: we’ve never felt more alone. This paradox isn’t just emotional. It’s structural. Loneliness in the digital era is not accidental—it’s designed. Welcome to […]

Introduction There was a time when closing an app meant it was gone—done, dismissed, quiet. But in today’s digital landscape, closing an app doesn’t always mean it’s over. Apps now linger, running in the background, sending notifications, tracking your location, refreshing data, and sometimes refusing to shut down altogether. This behavior isn’t always a bug. […]

In the race to digitize everything, we’ve turned to algorithms to solve increasingly complex problems—traffic control, energy consumption, farming, urban planning. Many of these systems now borrow inspiration from nature, leading to a new class of tools: eco-algorithms. They’re designed to mimic ecological processes, optimize for sustainability, and even repair environmental damage. But as we […]

Introduction Humans lie. We lie to each other, to ourselves, and—perhaps surprisingly—to machines. Whether it’s tweaking our age on social media, feeding false data into algorithms, or wearing adversarial patterns to fool facial recognition, lying to machines has become a new form of digital interaction. But why do we do it? What does it mean […]

Artificial intelligence is learning to recognize faces, translate languages, and drive cars. But there’s a new frontier that’s more abstract, yet deeply human: emotion. Not just detecting it—but expressing it. If machines are to coexist, collaborate, and communicate with us, they’ll need a language of feeling. But what does that look like? Welcome to the […]

Introduction In a world where machines write emails, bots answer your questions, and AI co-pilots your work, the lines between human and non-human agents are rapidly blurring. As artificial intelligence, virtual assistants, and robotic entities become increasingly integrated into society, a strange new challenge arises: Should non-humans follow rules of etiquette? This article explores the […]

For decades, operating systems have been engineered line by line—structured hierarchies of logic, architecture, and control. From UNIX to Windows to Linux to macOS, each was carefully crafted by teams of developers writing millions of lines of code. But the era of manually coded operating systems may soon give way to something radically different: an […]

Introduction Curiosity—the deep, restless desire to understand—has always been a driving force of human progress. From ancient astronomy to modern science, curiosity led us to explore, question, and create. But in the digital age, something strange has happened: our curiosity is being redirected, fragmented, and in some ways, hijacked. This article explores how modern technology […]
