Metaverse - Synthetic happiness
Why do human beings get so easily drawn to things like alcohol, cigarettes, drugs, vaping, binge eating, binge Netflix & Amazon Prime shows, work addiction, expensive lifestyle, etc.(to name a few as the list is really very long). Even when the consumer knows that these are detrimental and the happiness and pleasure from these things is temporary (till the time you are consuming it); he gets magnetically attached to these items. Once these are shut down, the consumer goes further down the dark alley of his mind. On the flip side, even if we are prescribed in black and white by the most expensive and well renowned expert doctors to follow a healthy lifestyle of waking up at 5AM, go for morning walks & exercise, meditation and yoga, early evening wind up from blue lights; we struggle to get at practise even 10% of these rituals and even after accomplishing this 10% within a span of a month or so; we allow to let go of these habits excusing ourselves of hardship to inculcate them in our daily regime. As humans, we want to reduce pain & enhance pleasure. We are also lazy. So, to get desirable outcome of pleasure & forgetting our inner pain by putting minimum efforts we take to synthetic happiness. With this insight; let’s explore whether “Metaverse” can generate synthetic happiness and subsequently a seamless world for generations to come.

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.
