Technology in the Here and Yet

Technology in the Here and Yet

Our collective knowledge increases rapidly. The more we know, the less we seem to think of the consequences of this knowledge and how it is utilized daily. Technology is quintessential nothing but applied knowledge. We all are constantly confronted with the moral implications of how we apply the knowledge. Although we prefer to look the other way.

The Extinction of Cars

The Extinction of Cars

Dinosaurs have ruled the world for a very long time. According to Wikipedia the beasts existed from the late Triassic period, about 230 million years ago until the Cretaceous, some 65 million years ago.

The same...

Sweet Home Earth

Sweet Home Earth

Unless one is a Messy, that’s someone who suffers from the Messy House or Diogenes Syndrome, every one wants to live in a clean house, in a clean environment.
