About this listen
VR and AR are experiencing a transformative wave that has disrupted industries surrounding how we interact with technology, consume entertainment, and learn continuously. With these technologies, the limits of feasibility have been rewritten, bringing forth a new age of immersive experiences that previously only existed in science fiction.
As the immersive tech revolution gains momentum ever so rapidly, we must address the bittersweet connotations of the arrival of VR and AR to our homes and lives. This will allow them to be ahead of the game while showing they are at the forefront of the immersive tech field.
For individuals, education and skills development need to be a top priority in order to engage with and excel in these technologies in the future. Immersive tech early adopters will be well-positioned to seize the new opportunities that arise.
VR, AR, and the metaverse have a bright future, and we get to define a world of these technologies and shape the innovations, connect with people, and create practically anything with just our imagination.

Story
The Paleo-vegan diet is not merely the combination of two very different eating styles; it is a way of life that respects our ancestors and combines the ethical and nutritional benefits of contemporary plant-based eating. This diet serves as an intermediary between the primal simplicity of the Paleo diet and the ethical, environmentally conscious philosophy of veganism by emphasizing nutrient-dense, whole foods that are minimally processed. This leads to a more balanced, sustainable, and invigorating dietary plan that will redefine your body as well as your connection with food and the Earth.

The irony is that it is quite a simple and effective effort in practice. Men, by nature, tend to care more about the outside world, whether it’s work, fitness, relationships, etc., which is why skincare can take a backseat in the bigger scheme of things. But investing time in your skin can improve both your appearance and your health and confidence.

The grid is an accident of history and of culture, in no way intrinsic to how we produce, deliver and consume electrical power. Yet this is the system the United States ended up with, a jerry-built structure now so rickety and near collapse that a strong wind or a hot day can bring it to a grinding halt. The grid is now under threat from a new source: renewable and variable energy, which puts stress on its logics as much as its components.

Story
Artificial intelligence does the seemingly impossible - driving cars, trading stocks, and teaching children. But facing the sea change that AI will bring can be paralyzing. How should companies set strategies, governments design policies, and people plan their lives for a world so different from what we know? In Prediction Machines, three eminent economists recast the rise of AI as a drop in the cost of prediction. With this single, masterful stroke, they lift the curtain on the AI-is-magic hype and show how basic tools from economics provide clarity about the AI revolution and a basis for action by CEOs, managers, policy makers, investors, and entrepreneurs.

And a growing mountain of clinical research correlates screen tech with disorders like ADHD, addiction, anxiety, depression, increased aggression, and even psychosis.

Artificial Intelligence helps choose what books you buy, what movies you see, and even who you date. It puts the "smart" in your smartphone and soon it will drive your car. It makes most of the trades on Wall Street, and controls vital energy, water, and transportation infrastructure. But Artificial Intelligence can also threaten our existence. In as little as a decade, AI could match and then surpass human intelligence. Corporations and government agencies are pouring billions into achieving AI’s Holy Grail - human-level intelligence.
