How exactly does Cryptocurrency work? How our future lives are going to change when we start using this new currency and how ‘soon’ that future is?
In this TEDx talk Damian Culhane explains in an easy-to-understand language what exactly is blockchain and the significant role it will play in the future of humanity. The uncertainty in the financial markets was one reason why blockchain and cryptocurrency were created, which has led to the dawning and rising of a decentralized revolution.
During the first lockdown in 2020, Damian’s natural curiosity and intuition guided him to invest in the crypto market. Within twelve months the investment grew significantly as he was paying attention to what, how and why the crypto market is changing. Damian looked beyond the face value of cryptocurrency to understand the importance of blockchain technology and the impact it will have on our lives. Watch the talk to hear Damian’s insights and forecast for the future.
Damian specializes in teaching transformational thinking and helping people to pivot their mindset. He is a Certified Mental Fitness coach, a Non-Executive Director, a Master Practitioner of neuro-linguistic programming, a panel speaker, and founder of two companies. He hosts “The Self-Sabotage Show” podcast and is a contributing author in three international best selling books in the “Ignite” series: Ignite Your Life For Men, Ignite Your Life For Conscious Leaders and Ignite Your Life Adventurous Spirit.
Faster, cheaper, greener. 3D printing may reshape the world canvas for good. Like many inventions, 3D printed homes been hyped up over the last few years. Like the Icon 3D printed homes in Austin, Texas. But what if I told you that Italian architects designed the world’s first 3D printed house out of dirt…yep, dirt. Clearly, the hype hasn’t bitten the dust yet. Let’s take a closer look at what 3D printing means for the future of building sustainable homes and if 3d printed homes are all they’re cracked up to be.
The video depicts the benefits of modern analog computers as well as their limitations. Analog computers are not as good as digital computers in many ways, but they are better in very specific ways and could enhance the future evolution of AI.
“The coronavirus pandemic has no parallel in modern history. It is our defining moment.”
Those are the words of Klaus Schwab, head of the World Economic Forum (WEF), in COVID-19: The Great Reset, the 2020 book he co-authored with Thierry Malleret.
“Many of us are pondering when things will return to normal,” they write in the book’s introduction. “The short response is: never.”
At the latest WEF meeting in Davos, Switzerland, this January, Schwab set the tone for the conference with his glowing introduction of the opening speaker: Xi Jinping, China’s president and chairman of the Chinese Communist Party
“Major economies should see the world as one community… and should coordinate the objectives, intensity, and pace of fiscal and monetary policies,” said Xi in his address to the WEF.
This vision of a united globe with a coordinated economy managed by experts captures Schwab’s vision of the post-COVID world. “We have to redefine the social contract,” said Schwab at a 2020 WEF book launch event for The Great Reset.
These grand proclamations, the ominous book title, and Schwab’s odd personal style have led many people to speculate that the “great reset” is part of a conspiracy of global financial elites and politicians to depopulate the planet so that they can more easily institute one-world government, or even that COVID was engineered to that end.
I don’t buy it. Far-reaching, global conspiracies require levels of coordination and shared purpose likely to be quickly exposed and fall apart, especially in the networked age. Instead of spinning our wheels searching for a secret agenda, take a look at the one right out in the open.
“I think we are moving from short-term to long-term, from shareholder capitalism to stakeholder capitalism,” said Schwab at his 2020 book event.
What Xi, the WEF, and people like Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D–Mass.) have in common is that they favor so-called stakeholder capitalism, which is a euphemism for making companies answer first to special interests. They want to reorganize corporate boards to include representatives from labor, environmental, and social justice groups. Warren proposed a bill to require 40 percent of large corporate board seats be elected by workers. In China, the state simply owns or controls a majority stake in most of the country’s largest firms.
Imagine a world where, if you get sick, doctors inject tiny robots into your body that seek out the source of the problem and cure your illness. While this technology is still in the developmental stages, scientists have been hard at work making machines small enough to be able to do this. They are called nanobots and come from the field of nanotechnology.
Nanotechnology is any science, engineering, or technology that is done at the nanoscale, which is from 1 to 100 nanometers. And that is tiny! To put that into perspective, a sheet of paper is about 1 million nanometers thick, a human cell is 10,000 nanometers, a bacterium is 1,000 nanometers, and a DNA molecule is 2.5 nanometers.
Plenty of nanoparticles already exist in everyday things like sunscreen, agriculture, and electronics., But they are also used in medicine, inside your body. They are mainly used as a contrast agent in medical imaging techniques, improving their sensitivity and detection abilities, as well as a vehicle for delivering drugs to specific parts of the body.
But these particles aren’t controlled externally. They get to the desired location in the body with the help of an attached ligand, which is a molecule that binds to a very specific receptor, like one that is located only on tumor cells. To be considered a nanorobot, or nanobot, they must be able to be externally controlled. And this is challenging. Especially when you want to enter the body, which has a whole host of natural defenses against foreign invaders, like mucus and immune cells.
One popular propulsion method being explored is the use of a magnetic field. Since magnetic fields are not influenced by tissues in the body, and are considered safe, many scientists are developing tiny robots that can be controlled inside the body when a magnetic field is applied outside of the body. So far, all of these robots are larger than 100 nanometers, so can’t really be considered a true nanobot, but they are extremely cool.
Like the fish-shaped microbots being developed to deliver chemotherapy drugs directly to cancer cells, the slope-climbing millibots being made to medicate the nervous system, and a 400-nanometer surgical robot with propellers that can drill through an eye without harming the tissue.
But the smallest one is a 120-nanometer robot that can transport payloads like medicine, as well as penetrate cell membranes to deliver it, which most nanoparticles struggle to do. The creators hope to use it to treat cancer, remove blood clots, and even repair brain cells.
Other potential applications include collecting internal information about the body, correcting bleeding or oxygenation issues, and for many uses in dentistry. There are still many challenges that need to be overcome and risks that need to be addressed before these technologies will make it into the clinic, but perhaps one day soon these tiny robots could be saving our lives.
So would YOU ever have nanobots swimming around like the magic school bus in your body? Let me know how you feel about this in the comments! Are you for or against it? As always, my name is Blocko, this has been life noggin, don’t forget to keep on thinking!
