I think, before I could remember wanting to do anything else, I knew that I wanted to be in charge. As a child, my mother didn’t have a job where she was the boss. And I always looked at that and wished that she was the boss and that she did make her own rules. So from very early on, I felt like you know what? Whatever I do, one day, I want to be more in charge of my…
We work in a world filled with devices that can monitor us, locate us, and tell us what to do. That raises the question — who watches you work? And how does work change when you know someone’s watching you do it? There’s one industry that’s asking that question more than ever: trucking. Self driving semi trucks. Programmed to follow routes from GPS systems while the driver rests. Over time, automation will dramatically change work for the 3.5 million truck…
One second. What does globalization mean? It makes it easier because a lot of things are there which are not available in India, and a lot of things are available in India which are not available abroad. Something across the globe could be in your own supermarket overnight, or something you order online could be at your doorstep the next day. I think it definitely makes life cheaper. I’m not sure if it makes life easier. We’ve got access to…
I think the first thing to say is that the Cappella Marciana, the choir of St. Mark’s Basilica, is very honoured and grateful to be taking part in this special event. It’s been a real pleasure to perform and to share this platform with the Hover choir. They’re a wonderful choir and I’m very happy to be conducting them albeit through this particular technology which allows this. It was a little difficult to get used to at first because we…
Ephemeral Art or art that is temporal. Michaela Papa is on assignment on this. Sand Art is an emerging art popularly known as Ephemeral Art. But Ephemeral Art isn’t limited to traditional art. The rebuilding program initiated by Lira Luis uses water organisms like Planktons… to provide illumination (to cities decimated by Typhoon Haiyan local nameYolanda). The Leapfrog Project plans to bring this technology in villages at Tacloban City that still don’t have electricity or light. Government gives reminders on…
Translator: Gisela Giardino Reviewer: Sebastian Betti A while ago, I was in a bar. There, was a woman at another table with her five-year-old son. She was completely captured by her cellphone. Meanwhile, the kid stared at her. Maybe another kid would have messed up to try to get her attention. But not this kid. He waited for a while, he finally stood up, went behind his mother and began to stroke her hair. He tried to summon her with…
– I’m excited for this conversation today with award-winning journalist, columnist, and New York Times best-selling author, Naomi Klein, who’s here today to talk about her new book, “On Fire: The (Burning) Case for a Green New Deal.” I read your book, I really enjoyed it. It was both deep and intense but then also uplifting at the same time. This book consists of essays that you’ve written back since 2010. Why make the book now? I have been writing…
The future is a big part of our lives, but have you wondered just what will happen in the upcoming decades? Join as we show you event that will happen by 2090! 8. Nuclear War? Alright, let’s start things off with a rather grim topic, but since we’re talking about events that will likely happy in the next 70 or so years, it’s very fair to talk about the dark side of events. Human history is full of wars, so…
It’s really shocking. You see the security forces who are just shooting. The protests were triggered by a massive rise in the fuel price. And within hours of the protests starting, the authorities resorted to the use of firearms to crush down these voices. The Iranian authorities shut down the internet. It happened extremely quickly. Between 24 hours people were no longer online and seeing our messages. However, many people courageously sent these videos. And as the internet has been…
Hedges: You talk about the nanny state What do you mean – the nanny state? What do you mean by that? Chomsky: The nanny state is a state that gives gifts to sectors that have the power to demand it, which typically means the rich and the powerful. I mean there are, you know — Hedges: So is this like subsidies to the fossil fuel industry? Chomsky: Hundreds of billions of dollars – I think it’s something like 500 billion…
