Everyday Stories, Lived

Media

  • Facebook world vs. real world

    I don’t know how much of your life you put out on social media. But I think we both agree that the things we post on social media don’t always translate to what happens with our everyday lives. And that in every happy couple photo you see on your friend’s timeline doesn’t mean that they Read more

  • I’ve got a racket

    No. It’s not an illegal enterprise nor a loud and disturbing noise. When I say I’ve got a racket, I mean this racket. While scrolling through what’s new, I stumbled across this post by The Verge.

  • Is Facebook changing our (Social) lives?

    Isn’t it a question you’ve been wanting to ask for some time now? Well, for a start, if you’re kind of alarmed with how it shapes our society, you might be trying to transcend beyond the flow you get from mindlessly scrolling through your curated Facebook feed.

  • Are you ready for a world in which…?

    “Read-and-write” neurotech implants are a reality. A device can be implanted in your brain that both “reads” your thoughts and feelings, and also “writes” new, artificial thoughts and memories directly into your head. The first successful read-and-write implant intercepts and records 80% of data sent to the brain’s hippocampus, giving users close-to-perfect recall of anything Read more
