Science and Technology
Artificial intelligence began with early questions about whether machines could think or reason like humans. A major influence was Alan Turing, who introduced ideas about machine intelligence and proposed the Turing Test. His work helped establish the foundations of computer science and AI research. The field officially started in 1956...
To begin, this is a difficult subject for me to consider since I do not believe that this debate is so cut and dry as many people assume. To agree and say that we should ban animal testing ignores not only the potential advantages of animal testing but additionally disregards the...
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the way people work, raising concerns about whether it will take over many job sectors. While AI is expected to replace some jobs, it is unlikely to replace human workers entirely. AI excels at performing repetitive tasks quickly and accurately. As a result, industries such...
The first time I heard about designer babies was in a movie called “My sister’s Keeper.” The idea is to be able to change an unborn baby’s features, such as green eyes and red hair. They can also make the baby healthy by removing different diseases. In the movie, a...
The month of March had seen a startling number of meteor impacts make headline news within the United States, from Ohio to Texas. The response online was mainly one of surprise, and strangely enough, sheer disbelief at such an event occurring. Conspiracy theories rose in surprising speed, alleging that NASA...
With the aid and support of technology and all the good it has offered for society, many people have pointed out that modern technology has created fear and anxiety, especially for the younger generation of missing out on fun by constantly being able to monitor and see what other people...
Man has walked on the moon–a line we heard in 1969 for the first time ever. Since then, scientists have made multiple advancements within space, but man has not walked on the moon since 1972. We tend to hear little information regarding what is occurring in space and the advancements...
My parents always shamed my fixation with video games. They said that I stayed in the house too much, remaining isolated from other kids my age. They believed that going outside and making friends was imperative to my social development, and while that statement reigns true, I ended up turning...
We all exist in a world powered by technology. From the cars we drive, to the materials we use made from plastics, from the gas we use to heat our house–everything in our daily life has been produced by technology and the humans who created it. Our lives are centered...
Coral reefs are a key ocean ecosystem, but the consequences of climate change over the last few decades have left many of them completely decimated. Many activists and companies are actively working to reverse damage and rebuild coral reefs. Let’s take a look at some of those efforts! Ecoblox The...
The UN has released a new report, Global Water Bankruptcy: Living Beyond Our Hydrological Means in the Post-Crisis Era, which argues that many of Earth’s natural water systems have been so badly destroyed that they can no longer “return to their historical conditions”. The report explains how ”societies have withdrawn...
There are multiple types of these plastic-rock hybrids. Plastistones are formed when plastic melts and bonds with existing rocks. Plastistone is used as an “umbrella term” for these plastic and rock mixtures. Other categories of plastistones include plastiglomerates, which are rocks made from sedimentary particles and other debris held together...
