For 7 years i have been searching for the perfect phone but everytime the phones grow bigger and more touchy. Maybe a gameboy styled modular phone could do the needful,but the touch phone era has dashed all my dreams of having a compact phone with tactile keys.
Hopefully the the next year will be better
I wonder if there is a link between life originating from the sea and the ability of using our hearing as the main sensory organ to detect other objects.
And maybe we over relied on some senses and made an education system which relied on certain sense organs more than other senses.
But talking about Smartphones,we may be coming to a full circle with Voice assisted AI is gaining ground.

I would suggest you to read The book 'A brave new world' By Aldous Huxley which predicted how the information overloaded numbness works in a beautiful way
I always wonder if there will ever be a modular laptop coming out with a 10 to 15 year lifetime.
Whenever there is a technological stabilization round the corner,There is another different kind of device created and people run towards the new device.
I sometimes work in curious ways. Recently i have been printing the HN articles and reading them at random intervals like just before going for a jog,Thinking on one's feet is a wonderful experience
If i consume 100 smokes vs 100 vapes equivalent then what will be the total damage done to the enviornment in each case,starting from the production to disposal?
A lot of issues would be solved if multiple such cities covered a state,however if there will be only a few such beautiful cities then expect the crowd coming in all the time and once the momemtum picks up the city will expand. And controlling the crowd can be a nightmare. But it can be achieved.
Adding a low carbon footprint methods like solar cookers,urban forests(dont mind the insects) may help also.
The concern with such an idea has been scaling up in a sustainable manner,almost every ideal city has ruined because of the population boom
There is nothing more satisfying than to see the spark of interest and wonder reignite in a child.
Keep up your good job people, I hope to pickup coding from where i left. I remember the good old days of basic and logo,They were fun to start programming with.
I teach in places where there is almost zero education, heavy child trafficking.As i learn from HN, I try to teach them to kids(Remember that calculus made easy book? or those fun reads) They enjoy the true essence of learning and discovering the world from their own eyes.
I hope that someday these kids will become self learners and help other kids do the same. Even learning how to send an SOS signal from a phone can be a lifesaver for these kids.
That day is still far off but it is possible.And believe me,Kids are super smart and I am sure that my students will change their lives on their own. All i can do is give them that offbeat motivation.
i would love to make games which mix augmented reality and education....
Understanding speed or how the shapes and shadows work outside..
I believe education lies beyond the walls of a classroom.
One anecdote: i once taught kids multiplication and speed with walking and running as the base exercises... They understood in no time,
of course tech could have helped making it easier but there is hardly any tech which the children conceptualise,would be great though
One of the most permanent and time tested ways of storing data is etching it on a stone... Its storage time basically may be upto millions of years...I actually wont mind storing some essential data on steel disks or paper (both compressed and noncompressed will do)
One huge solar storm may be enough to cripple our networks for a good amount of time....
Now this leads me to ask,what happens to the dams,nuclear plants when a very power solar burst hits them
I am working on restarting tech from the ground up in rural places.
It always amazes me on how phones get so easily addictive but hardly have much utility values.Like recording the environmental changes or just simple information dissipation to their peers would do wonders to help them. Something i have been very interested in the use of local languages in developing areas in spreading of their rights and information
Such a bad design flaw,How come the intelligent investors pushed for this device? What are some of the red flags that one should keep in mind to avoid such issues?
Sometimes I cannot fathom the depth of laziness we have gone into,But hey.. Laziness has been the driving force for the evolution of humans
This may be a shot in the dark but try looking for doctors who interact and are cheerful(to their patients). The referral thing between the patients is very strong so more patients will come and will feel good which works as a catalyst(Both the parties will have a good amount of dopamine flowing).
And eventually the variety and number of patients will increase and so the doctor will have more practice and become better!
In the far off rural areas where connectivity is almost nil,The doctors rarely go to the hospitals and the doctor's assistant does more work,becoming at par with the doctors in a few years.
Maybe not but pockets of hackers can be there to prevent the damage from spreading.
Here is my take on what a post-nuclear war hacker may look like.
Solar energy may not be available so charging points have to be something like a bicycle modifiable to a tent(Maybe mod the tyres into wind energy devices and a fan).
More single board computers with outernet(?) plugged in.
It will be interesting to see how peer to peer networks
