Digital Superpowers by 2030: How AI Glasses Will Transform Our Lives

2025-01-12

Computer scientist Louis B. Rosenberg predicts that by 2030, context-aware AI agents in wearable devices, particularly AI-powered glasses, will give us "digital superpowers." He envisions a three-phase rollout: Phase 1 involves whispered queries answered instantly; Phase 2 uses lip reading to interpret our commands; Phase 3 achieves thought-based interaction. These glasses won't just provide information; they'll anticipate our needs, interpret emotions, and enhance social interactions. Rosenberg cautions about potential misuse and advocates for a subscription model to mitigate risks.

Urine: The Unexpected Origin of Chemistry

2024-12-31

In the 17th century, Hennig Brand, a German merchant and alchemist, attempted to extract gold from urine. He collected 5,500 liters of urine, and after boiling and heating it at high temperatures, unexpectedly discovered a new element—phosphorus. This discovery, while not a success in alchemy, marked the birth of chemistry. Brand's discovery eventually led Robert Boyle to refine the method of producing phosphorus and apply it to the creation of matches. More importantly, Boyle openly shared his methods, breaking the secretive tradition of alchemy and advancing the scientific development of chemistry.
