Posted by in categories: bitcoin, futurism

Bitcoin has been hyped as the currency of the future. And it does have its advantages, as we discussed in the previous video. However, Bitcoin is far from perfect. Because of its finite supply, there is the real possibility of “lost Bitcoins” leading to lost fortunes. These lost fortunes may lead to the erosion of public trust in Bitcoin.

Team Builds 1.4 Million Lumen “World’s Brightest” Flashlight

Posted by in category: mobile phones

:ooooooooooo.


How bright is your flashlight? I only have the one on my phone because I’m completely unprepared for any sort of emergency situation. Well, presumably with the belief that it should be daylight all the time, the team over at Hacksmith Industries took it upon themselves to build a giant, 1,414,224 lumen flashlight. I can already imagine myself staring at it until I go blind.

Meet Bunny, the talking dog in Tacoma who’s captured the world’s attention

Posted by in category: futurism

Alexis Devine of Tacoma no longer has to wonder what her Sheepadoodle, Bunny, is thinking. Bunny just tells her herself.

7 Predictions For How Technology Will Shape Healthcare in 2021

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, health, internet, robotics/AI

From the COVID-19 vaccine to advances in machine learning, AI, improved W-Fi and 5G, and telemedicine, experts expect a move to “patient-centric” health next year.

COVID-19 accomplished what entrepreneurs, doctors, and activists couldn’t: Designing a healthcare system that works for patients instead of providers and health insurance companies.

The industry promised to be “patient-centered” for the last decade but only the harsh demands of COVID-19 have made this a reality. As Ian McCrae, CEO of Orion Health, described it, COVID-19 is ushering in the long-overdue transformation of the healthcare system and, finally, a move to “patient-centric” health.
