Today's commercial flight systems are considered the safest way to travel, with only 1 death per 16 million flights - this is equivalent to only about 2 fatalities.

The recent release of the movie Thor Ragnarok in 2017 did so well that it might have just killed steampunk. While cyberpunk has technically been around since the 70's and 80's with movies like Blade Runner, THX 1138, Ghost in the Shell, Minority Report, and The Matrix, the genre lacked a solid actualization of itself. Thor Ragnorak embraced cyberpunk aesthetics so well... read more

It's been another two years, and yet, the lightest and thinnest laptops have not changed much. The televisions look the same, and they don't seem to be getting any thinner. Mobile devices also seem to be stagnating. No laptop exists that is ultra powerful, has a decent sized screen, and weighs under 3 pounds.

The release of the recent GDPR Compliance regulation by the EU which threatens to fine all companies up to 2% of total global annual turnover or €10 million Euro (about $11.66 million USD) for failing to adhere to ambiguous and oppressive new regulations concerning privacy of user data is counterproductively a danger to the security and privacy of the internet. As a... read more

While people born in the 60s, 70s, and early 80s dreamed of technology, with movies like Blade Runner (1982), Star Wars (1977-1983), WarGames (1983), and 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), they just didn't have it.
