Intensive instrument playing can trigger movement disorders

Posted by in category: futurism

Dystonia can be triggered because you’re in a rock band? That’s a new one for me.


Scientists from Germany have investigated the possible causes that may trigger movement disorders.

Robots ‘will be able to read your thoughts within a generation’ — and hackers could steal your innermost secrets

Posted by in categories: computing, economics, neuroscience, quantum physics, robotics/AI

This all sounds extremely familiar to me for some reason. And, really ties in well with my recent articles on “AI holding your data hostage” and “Quantum Computing — things that need to be considered” — glad more folks are speaking up.


Speaking at the World Economic Forum in the Swiss Alps, Nita Farahany, a professor of law and philosophy, said the device reading brain activity could be accessed by ‘not good Samaritans’.

China is building malls of the future that could come to the US soon

Posted by in categories: business, futurism

High-end, futuristic malls in China and parts of the US are upgrading technology, hoping to attract customers with “smart” shopping centers.

“In the US, the malls look exactly the same they did 20 year ago,” Deborah Weinswig, executive director at Fung Business Intelligence Centre, said recently in a talk at a JDA Executive Luncheon. “We’ve got to make it more exciting, and more fun, and more experiential.”

Changing consumer tastes and the rise of e-commerce means shoppers are visiting malls less and less, with Weinswig reporting that the average American now visits a mall three to four times a year, as opposed to five to six. To compete with online shopping, malls need to match e-commerce in convenience and create experiential reasons to visit the mall that you cannot find online.

Engineers at Yale develop quantum chip, Next step — a programmable quantum processor

Posted by in categories: computing, quantum physics, robotics/AI, supercomputing

Every month, we’re seeing more and more researchers and companies break the Quantum barrier by making their own Quantum Chip. Yale is the latest ones to introduce their own Quantum Chip. Next stop; a programmable Quantum Processor


In what can only be termed as a big step in the manufacture of practical quantum circuits, engineers from the Yale School of Engineering and Applied Science have created a silicon chip embedded with all the required components for a quantum processor.

Quantum computers are often portrayed as the next step in computer technology, and with good reason. Theoretically, a quantum computer would be thousands of times faster than today’s fastest supercomputers. They could also help in the creation of a practically capable AI. Quantum computers would drastically improve humanity’s data processing capabilities, and that is why researchers have been working for years towards their realization.

NextVR And FOX Sports To Produce Boxing Broadcasts In Virtual Reality

Posted by in categories: transportation, virtual reality

Everyone knows that the real money for VR is steaming VR. Fox Sports is finally bring you boxing in VR. And, CNet founder (Halsey Minor ) has announced his own plans to launch in the coming months a new virtual reality network that will stream live 360-degree video to Samsung Gear VR and Oculus headsets. Now, imagine what this means to Xfinity, Dish, and others.


There is no question by now that virtual reality has finally made its way into every sport. Whether it is used to recruit, train or give fans a different way to experience a game, virtual reality is becoming extremely common.

This includes the boxing world.

Theme of Life

Posted by in categories: business, media & arts

I usually keep my posts focused on business and technology; etc. However, as a professional, innovator, researcher, etc. I like sharing incredible finds that I come across. And, in my recent year, I came across a composer who is probably one of our greatest composers of our generation (at least to me he is). His name is Magnus Strömqvist, and he composed this incredible song entitled “” — there is truly one word that comes to mind when you hear this song “Powerful”.
