Computers that learn from experience and adapt to a novel situation are now set to change the face of Artificial Intelligence. The commercial version of a new kind of 'neuromorphic processor' that learns from its own mistake is about to enter the markets in 2014, according to New York Times. The new technology could do away with hours of programming and even make 'computer crashes' obsolete, tolerating minor errors. The new kind of computing is based on biological systems. These new artificial neural networks could advance facial recognition that is currently in its infancy stage. The brain doesn't crash if it finds a novel idea. It forms new neural connections and interprets the signals as best as it can. The new computer chip works similarly and according to NYT, these chips are already in use in few large tech companies. "We're moving from engineering computing systems to something that has many of the characteristics of biological computing,...

After more than 30 years and 12 billion miles, NASA's Voyager 1 has officially left the solar system, the space agency reports. In doing so, the spacecraft became the first human-made object to venture into interstellar space. The announcement was made after new and unexpected data arose indicating that Voyager 1 has been traveling through plasma, or ionized gas, present in the space between stars for roughly one year now. Based on this, scientists have concluded that the spacecraft is located in a transitional region immediately outside the solar bubble, or the area in which the effects of the Sun are still felt.

Percy Lebaron Spencer (9 July 1894 – 8 September 1970) was an American engineer and inventor. He became known as the inventor of the microwave oven. By 1939 Spencer became one of the world’s leading experts in radar tube design. One day while building magnetrons, Spencer was standing in front of an active radar set when he noticed the candy bar he had in his pocket had melted. Spencer was not the first to notice this issue, but he was the first to investigate it. He decided to experiment using food, including popcorn kernels, which became the world’s first microwaved popcorn. In another experiment, an egg was placed in a tea kettle, and the magnetron was placed directly above it. The result was the egg exploding in the face of one of his co-workers, who was looking in the kettle to observe. Spencer then created the first true microwave oven by attaching a high density electromagnetic field generator to an enclosed metal box. Percy Spencer invented the first microwave oven after...

The world's thinnest sheet of glass is just a molecule thick, setting a new world record set to appear in the Guinness Worlds Records 2014 Edition. As so often the case, the invention was a serendipitous, born during the pursuit of something else altogether. The researchers, from Cornell University and Germany's University of Ulm, were making graphene, a 2D sheet of carbon atoms in chicken wire crystal formation, on copper foils in a quartz furnace when they noticed some kind of "muck" on it.

Reports indicate Apple is going to put a fingerprint sensor into its new flagship phone, but what would that mean in practice? Follow the iPhone 5S and 5C launch live here. A fingerprint reader or sensor scans your fingerprint and matches it to a pre-defined image of your finger. Since every fingerprint is unique, the system can then securely verify your identity. Potentially, fingerprint readers could sound the death knell for passwords. The multi-character password is a failing piece of security, given that pretty much any password can be cracked by high-powered computers these days, regardless of how long or complex it is. Two-factor authentication, where another piece of the security puzzle, such as a secret code or key, is used to strengthen simple password logins is currently the best system on offer to consumers. In theory, fingerprint scanners could allow users to completely remove the need for passwords, securely logging into their phones, and enabling higher securit...

At IFA 2013 in Berlin this week, Alcatel showed off a few brand-new phones aimed at both budget-minded customers and those who want a top-of-the-line device. Alcatel is adding new phones to its One Touch line: the Idol S, Idol Mini, and the One Touch Hero. The new devices range across every price level, from high-end to budget. We don't yet have official pricing details for each phone, but Alcatel has said the One Touch Hero will cost the most, the Idol S will be slightly cheaper, and the Idol Mini will have a budget price tag. One Touch Hero The most high-end and largest of the bunch is the One Touch Hero, at 6.2 inches tall by 3.1 inches wide. Alcatel hardly wasted any space, letting the 6-inch, 1,920x1,080-pixel-resolution screen take up almost the entire front of the phone. The Hero has a curved body with rounded edges and a shiny back cover. One Touch Idol S Moving into the lower-end smartphones, we have the One Touch Idol S. The phone has run-of-the-mill specs for...

Pencil Pusher Now a trio of Chinese inventors hopes to add another device to the cubicle environment: the P&P Office Waste Paper Processor, which turns paper destined for recycling into pencils. The machine, looking a bit like a three-hole punch crossed with an electric pencil sharpener, was a finalist in the 2010 Lite-On Awards, an international competition that seeks to stimulate and nurture innovation. Here's how the pencil-making gadget works: You insert wastepaper into a feed slot. The machine draws the paper in, rolls and compresses it, and then inserts a piece of lead from a storage chamber located in the top of the device. A small amount of glue is added before -- voilà -- a pencil slides out from a hole on the side. It's not clear how many pieces of paper form a single pencil, but you figure the average office worker could generate a decent supply of pencils in a month. (Source:howstuffworks)

It's been confirmed by high sources that the highly anticipated "Samsung Unpacked 2013: Episode 2" event, happening September 4 in Berlin, exists for the sole purpose of unveiling two new products - the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and its smartwatch accessory, Samsung Galaxy Gear. The first thing that is unshakeable is the fact that the Galaxy Gear exists, which the Korea Times confirmed with Samsung executive vice president Lee Young-hee: The Galaxy Gear is a smartwatch accessory that will accompany the Galaxy Note 3 on September 4. The second thing that is pretty certain of is the fact that Samsung is working on flexible displays, but that the Galaxy Gear will likely not feature it. This also comes from the Korea Times' interview with Lee Young-hee.

Bat Suit Not everyone will ever want to leave the ground and  see himself soar in the air like a bird or perhaps a bat? However, in January 2012, a Connecticut-based inventor was granted a patent for what the application describes as "a completely dynamic human powered flying suit" that is modeled after the bat's style of aviation. The inventor explains in the patent application that bats are fellow mammals and the flying creatures "most closely related to human beings." The device consists of a pair of strap-on batlike wings with rigid and non-rigid portions that can be manipulated by the wearer once aloft. Initially getting off the ground is a bit trickier: Unlike bats, who simply do what comes naturally, the wearer of the flying suit would have to be towed, or ride on a bicycle, skis or rollerblades down an incline and then assume a leaning-forward flying posture and leap into the air at the appropriate moment (source: howstuffworks). The question is:...

Turner's media empire began with his father's billboard business, which he took over at 24 after his father's suicide. The business, Turner Outdoor Advertising, was worth $1 million when Turner took it over in 1963 (Roughly $7.5 million in present day terms). With some piece of business ideas, Ted has transform this little media empire that he inherit into a billion dollar media industry. He is know as the founder of the world most popular  cable news network CNN, the first 24-hour cable news channel.  Turner created CNN in 1980. He said: "We won't be signing off until the world ends. We'll be on, and we will cover the end of the world, live, and that will be our last event . . . we'll play 'Nearer, My God, to Thee' before we sign off." After five years, CNN outgrew its home, a former country club on the outskirts of Midtown, Atlanta. In addition, he founded WTBS, which pioneered the superstation concept in cable television. As a philan...

A pair of flight enthusiasts, John Foden, 37, and Yannick Read, 42, have devised a two-wheeled bike -- christened the XploreAir Paravelo -- that transforms into an aircraft. The British inventors say it is the world's first fully functional flying bicycle. The machine can travel at speeds of up to 15 miles per hour on the road and 25 miles per hour in the air, reaching altitudes of up to 4,000 feet. "The Wright brothers were former bicycle mechanics so there's a real connection between cycling and the birth of powered flight that is recaptured in the spirit of the Paravelo," says so-creator John Foden.

Alcoholics fail to communicate with people because their brains don't interpret social cues, a new study has found. Researchers said that long-term alcohol exposure can break communication between two areas of the brain that work together to interpret social signals. The study was conducted by researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine who found that alcohol inhibits signalling between amygdala and pre-frontal cortex. The pre-frontal cortex is a region associated with cognitive function, social behavior, decision making and modulation of intense behavior. Previous research too has shown that alcohol suppresses activity in amygdala- a part of the brain associated with processing social signals. Having a large amygdala has been linked with good social communication and larger circle of friends.

Researchers from the University of Washington have developed a noninvasive human-to-human interface that enables one individual to control another's hand motions using a signal sent via the Internet. In the past, similar feats have been accomplished between mice and, in one case, even a human and mouse; however, in the most recent study, researcher Rajesh Rao was able to move his colleague Andrea Stocco's finger on a keyboard via a brain signal even as they sat on opposite sides of the university's campus. "The Internet was a way to connect computers, and now it can be a way to connect brains," Stocco said. "We want to take the knowledge of a brain and transmit it directly from brain to brain."

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. Hebrews 6:11 NIV

Using human stem cells, researchers successfully grew "cerebral organoids" in the lab, effectively creating miniature brains which may lead to new levels of understanding how the brain develops from an embryo and what causes neurological disabilities such as autism and schizophrenia. Researchers have previously grown pieces of brain tissue from stem cells, but this is the first time a complex, three-dimensional organoid has been created, according to The Telegraph, which reports the mini-brain resembles that of a nine-week-old embryo.

It's not exactly "mind reading," per se, but a team of researchers have developed a method through which they are able to determine what letter a person is looking at based on a scan of their brain. Published in the journal Neuroimage, the study includes using an fMRI to scan a person's brain while he or she views a specific image. An fMRI works by determining where in the brain blood is flowing most and has long been used in research designed to determine which brain areas are most active while a person performs a given task.

Engineers have created a battery-free communication technique that repurposes wireless signals that already surround us. This new wireless communication system seems like "magic," since it "provides connectivity between computers out of what is essentially thin air." It takes us a step closer to an Internet of Things reality as it lets devices talk to each other without relying on batteries or wires for power. Instead, it taps into already existing ambient Wi-Fi, TV or cellular signals to exchange information. University of Washington researchers call it "ambient backscatter;" it's so revolutionary that when engineers presented their work [pdf] at the Association for Computing Machinery's Special Interest Group on Data Communication 2013 conference in Hong Kong, they won the "best paper" award.

Headphone maker SMS Audio’s Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson brand has launched the STREET by 50 over-ear wired headphones. They are built with Active Noise Canceling (ANC) technology to eliminate unwanted ambient noise anywhere, including on an airplane or other loud environments. Each side is equipped with 40 mm drivers inside soft leather memory foam ear cushions in between an adjustable headband, to deliver superior studio-grade audio while blocking outside noise, allowing users to enjoy music. Inside is a rechargeable (microUSB) lithium ion battery, good for 70 hours of ANC use. The headphones give you the option of turning off the noise canceling and will work (minus the ANC) if the battery loses its charge. The foldable headphones come with a removable cable with three-click microphone, soft touch cleaning cloth, micro USB charging cable, airplane adaptor and hard shell case for easy transport.

Microsoft has a vision for a world in which every surface is a Windows touchscreen. That became a whole lot closer to reality this week. A startup called Ubi Interactive is now selling $150 software that can turn any wall, desk, hand or screen into a 45-inch touchscreen. Just hook up a Microsoft Kinect sensor and a screen or projector, and the display will instantly gain touch-screen capabilities. Ubi's software can even support touchscreens of up to 100 inches, at a cost of $379 The software-Kinect combo senses when a finger touches a surface, allowing the user to click, drag, drop, scroll, and perform all the expected functions of a touchscreen. The selling point of Ubi's technology is that touchscreens are useful but incredibly expensive -- particularly large ones used in meeting spaces or in-store displays. But many businesses have projectors or televisions already set up in conference rooms. Those could soon become touchscreens by combining a Kinect, which costs $250...

When you say a situation or a person is hopeless, you are slamming the door in the face of God. Charles L. Allen

“Warp drives” which could propel humanity to the stars faster than the speed of light will be discussed this week by space experts in Dallas, Texas. Spacecraft propelled by antimatter, harvested by robotic factories on Mercury will be under discussion - as will spacecraft made from hollowed-out asteroids and a laser-beam “highway” to provide energy for ships to “hop” to nearby stars. Some of these technologies may come into being within 20 years, the organisers claim - but the goal is interstellar travel by 2100, visiting planets such as those found by NASA’s Kepler space telescope.

Microsoft is currently testing near-final versions of Windows 8.1, but the company won't release the final update publicly until October. According to sources familiar with Microsoft's plans, the software maker will finalize, or Release to Manufacturing (RTM), Windows 8.1, but the update will not be pushed out to existing machines until October. Partners and PC makers will receive the final bits later this month, and the gap until an October release will allow them to finalize their own testing and drivers for the roll out. Windows 8.1 includes a number of multitasking improvements, new smaller Live Tiles, and a built-in Bing-powered search engine. A near-final version of the update leaked to the internet recently, offering a closer look at the changes between Preview and RTM. Microsoft is adding in a number of tutorials and Windows Phone-like menus to ease complaints over the usability of the operating system. The Windows 8.1 update will be made available around 12 months...

Like countless gee-whiz companies that captured and lost imaginations and dollars, BlackBerry, a giant of the pre-iPhone era, has faded with remarkable speed. After enduring years of dwindling sales, the company said on Monday that it was exploring “strategic options” — business code for searching for a savior. For the moment, few seem to want to buy BlackBerry or, for that matter, its newest products. Unless a suitor emerges, BlackBerry risks joining the ranks of technology has-beens like Palm, Gateway and Commodore. We are living in an era of smart phone. My advise for Blackberry is to get smart if they want to remain in this business. That is what Samsung is doing today, Samsung is taking advantage of the phone industry today through their smart innovating ideas. If they can do it, I think blackberry can do it as well. Four years ago, BlackBerry had 51 percent of the North American smartphone market, according to the research firm Gartner. And Mike Lazaridis, BlackBerry’s c...

In an effort to create robots capable of traversing increasingly difficult terrain, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania say they have developed a device that boasts both jumping and climbing abilities. Doing so, the Associated Press reports, renders the device especially useful in regards to, for example, a military search mission or supply transport.

Japanese researchers launched the world's first talking robot into space Sunday aboard a supply mission headed toward the International Space Station (ISS). Called Kirobo, the machine will offer an opportunity for scientists to perform experiments on social interaction with robots as a way to reduce stress in confined living space, according to those behind the project. "I hope that through this project, humans and robots will be able to live together through communication with one another," Tomotaka Takahashi, a research professor with Tokyo University and one of the participants in the project, told the Wall Street Journal. Takahashi explained that while the Japanese are unique in their affinity with robots -- likely the result of growing up with manga stories about them -- he hopes that Kirobo's time in space will help widen that feeling of possible kinship to other nations.

Now, a Californian-based start-up may have the answer, with a breakthrough in a new type of memory chip known as Resistive RAM (ReRAM or RRAM for short). Capable of of storing a terabyte of data (equivalent to 250 high-definition movies) on a chip the size of a postage stamp, and using 20 times less energy than current flash memory chips, ReRAM could offer next-gen smartphones with terabytes of onboard data that go weeks without a charge. The company is called Crossbar, and though they're not the only manufacturers working ReRAM memory (Pansonic and HP are amongst their competitors), they have announced that their models have already been succesfully manufacturered, meaning that commercialization is hopefully not too many years off. ReRAM is a new type of non-volatile memory (meaning it stores data even when it’s not being powered) that is twenty times faster than the fastest current flash memory. Crossbars says that it can write data to its chips at 140 megabytes a second,...

A team of scientists have devised a new method of inserting foreign DNA into cells that, they say, is far more gentle and precise than any that have come before it. Described in the journal Bio-medical Optics Express , the technique includes poking holes on the surface of a cell using a high-powered "femtosecond" laser and retrieving a piece of DNA with "optical tweezers" like a high-tech version of the game Operation. The process, the researchers say, is an improvement on past methods for a number of reasons, including efficiency (many current techniques are clumsy and often require many tries) as well as its control at the single-cell level.

The world as we know is built upon the platform of ideas. Every attractive cities in the world today are product of creative ideas, Dubai can not be exempted. It is one of the city in our generation that makes many people dumbfounded today. It is so amazing how a desert can become so attractive, powerful, commercialize, industrious and economically expensive. Whatever we see today in Dubai is a product of thought that was nurture for several years in the womb of one man Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum. He was responsible for the transformation of Dubai from a small cluster of settlements near the Dubai Creek to a modern port city and commercial hub. He ruled for 32 years from 1958 until his death in 1990. He was a man with fore-sight, fore-thought, vision, dream, desire, drive and passion for his people and the future of his community even after death. His drive to see Dubai as one of the most beautiful and commercial city in the world was born out of his famous line "...

Chinese scientists used human urine to grow rudimentary teeth in a laboratory, according to a new study published in the Cell Regeneration Journal. While the teeth are rudimentary and the technique used to grow them is unappealing, researchers say it could one day be used as a way to replace teeth lost through aging or poor dental hygiene But the research has its critics. Chris Mason, a stem cell scientist at University College London, told the BBC that urine was a poor choice for a stem cell source. "It is probably one of the worst sources, there are very few cells in the first place and the efficiency of turning them into stem cells is very low," he told the BBC. "You just wouldn't do it in this way." Mason also warned that the risk of bacterial contamination is higher with urine than it would be in other sources. He also added that the researchers face the challenge of integrating the tooth pulp with nerves and blood vessels in order to grow functio...

Astronomers has come up with new discovery, they are never tired, they work every seconds believing that there is more to creation, which they don't have knowledge of at the moment. This is their drive. This is their passion.  I love their passion and they deserve applaud. They have detected a planet living outside our solar system via X-ray for the first time since exoplanets were first discovered nearly 20 years ago, a new study published in The Astrophysical Journal reports. Led by Katja Poppenhaeger of Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) in Cambridge, Mass., the article explains how an advantageous alignment of a planet and its parent star in the system HD 189733 located 63 light-years from Earth enabled NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and the European Space Agency's XMM Newton Observatory to observe a dip in X-ray intensity as the planet transited the star.

Modern computer are very fast, possibly they are about to get faster In a find that could pave a approach for faster, some-more absolute computing devices, researchers have clocked a fastest probable electrical switching in a naturally captivating element magnetite. Performed by researchers from the US Department of Energy's, the scientists used the facility's Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) X-ray in order to determine that it only takes 1 trillionth of a second to flip the on-off electrical switch in samples of magnetite, placing it thousands of times faster than those currently in use. The discovery could pave the way for the speediest, most computationally powerful computing devices yet.

Frying and microwaving food may put individuals at risk of ingesting greater numbers of furans, a compound that has been linked to cancer in animal studies, according to a new study. Published in the journal Food and Chemical Toxicology, the scientists report they found three times as many furans in their fish fingers when they fried them in olive oil and two times as many using sunflower oil compared to when they baked them in the oven. Compounding this, they reported, is the fact that reheating the greasy snack in the microwave once again increased the number of furans, this time adding 8.15 micrograms of furans per gram, compared to the original 10 added by the oven or 30 gained when fried in olive oil. ased on their findings, the researchers deduced that the number of furans was lower when the temperature and frying time was shorter. The group also found that their numbers decreased the more time elapsed after cooking.

Coffee drinkers have something to shout about as new research says that the popular beverage has some surprisingly great benefits. Harvard School of Public health (HSPH) researchers have found that drinking several cups of coffee daily appears to lower the risk of suicide in both men and women by nearly 50 percent. Despite the clear evidence obtained in this study the researchers do not recommend that the depressed adults increase caffeine consumption.

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of  God was hovering over the waters. And God said, "Let there be Light," and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. Genesis 1:1-4

Drinking watermelon juice can prevent muscle fatigue after rigorous exercise because of a naturally occurring but under-studied amino acid naturally present in the juice, according to a paper published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.   A research team from Spain has discovered a potential new sports drink: watermelon juice. In a study investigating the effects of watermelon juice on athletes the researchers found drinking watermelon juice pre-workout reduced muscle soreness The key ingredient in watermelon juice is L-citrulline. The amino acid L-citrulline can reduce muscle soreness after exhaustive exercise as well as contributing to reducing heart rate recovery time in athletes. In the science community as an “uncommon amino acid.”

An Australian mining magnate Clive Palmer was Thursday given the green light to build "the world's biggest" park of giant robotic dinosaurs, despite hundreds of objections filed by local residents. Asked earlier this year why he was building the Titanic replica, Palmer said: "I want to spend the money I've got before I die". The park is intended to open in 2014.

The Japanese have come up with something else to make our lives just a little bit better. This time, it’s a camera stand perfectly positioned for taking classic tourist photos. Photographer John Sypal discovered a bunch of these stands at various scenic spots on the popular tourist island Enoshima. The stand can be position at a distance to take group photo and it can also rotate 360 degrees. It is perfectly designed  with a slot for smartphones.

World cheapest computer weighing just below 50 grams and bearing the size of a credit card is Raspberry Pie, world’s cheapest and probably the smallest computer. What was built as a medium to educate students’ on basic computer coding has now crossed sales numbers of more than 1.5 million, reports NDTV Gadgets. The small computer developed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation on the open source Linux platform is retailing for $25. So far, it has found its use in robots in Japan to the warehouse doors in Malawi, to photographing astral bodies from the United States. According to Eben Upton, executive director of the Raspberry Pi Foundation, "We're closing in on one and a half million (sales) for something that we thought would sell a thousand. It was just supposed to be a little thing to solve a little problem.”

In an effort to stave off chemotherapy-induced hair loss, researchers have developed a hat designed to limit blood flow and thus limit drug access to wearers' hair follicles. The way it works is by keeping the cap at a shivery 41 degrees Fahrenheit while a person undergoes treatment, allowing for reduced blood delivery to the area.

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on Thursday published an Apple patent application for an intuitive mobile device control system that will automatically help to power down certain components during usage, thus maximizing battery life. In its aptly named application, Power management for electronic devices. Apple describes a system that detects a mobile device owner's usage patterns, estimates the required energy needed to run the phone between charges, and dynamically turns hardware off or closes running software to achieve maximum battery life. The invention also brings location data into the mix for enhanced efficiency To help reduce power consumption, Apple proposes a system that can compare the estimated time period a user will spend on their device with battery reserves, determining whether the device has sufficient power to last for said period. If the battery does not have sufficient power, the system will adjust "one or more characteristics" to conserve...

Researchers from the University of California-Berkeley have created a flexible 16×16 pixel screen, dubbed "e-skin," that lights up where it is touched. If more pressure is applied, it glows brighter. The team behind the "e-skin" believe future iterations of the interface could be used for car dashboards, mobile displays, or even "interactive wallpaper."

A team of Australian scientists and wetsuit designers have developed a pair of anti-shark wetsuits that can camouflage swimmers from the colorblind fish or trick sharks into thinking whoever is in the wetsuit is poisonous. The ant-shark suits retail for about $500, according to The Daily Mail. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86FdOtw9W4U&feature=player_embedded Designers at the company Shark Attack Mitigation Systems (SAMS) and researchers from the University of Western Australia collaborated on the technology behind the project, which resulted in two wetsuit concepts: one with a blue pattern which cannot be seen by colorblind sharks, and another that utilizes a starkly contrasting stripe pattern that mimics the colors of poisonous fish.

Researchers in Switzerland say they have made microchips that  is capable of mimicking the way our brains process information, unlocking some of the mystery around how the world's most efficient computer functions. Scientists at the University of Zurich and ETH Zurich, together with colleagues in Germany and the United States, created electronic systems comparable to a human brain both in size, speed and energy consumption, the university said in a statement late Monday. Just like the brain, their so-called neuromorphic chips are capable of processing and reacting to information in real-time, it said. "The challenge is to build something as close as possible to an actual brain," Giacomo Indiveri, a University of Zurich professor of Neuroinformatics and one of the researchers on the project, told AFP. Electronic systems in the past have been designed to react to their environments, as with blinds that automatically close when sunlight hits them. ...

Technology is moving so fast in the sense that new inventions are coming out every day. People are putting their brain to work and some are coming up with unimaginable ideas. Douglas Engelbart died recently at the age of 88. He was a great researcher and had major influence on what is happen in the world of technology today. He was know for his invention of computer mouse. Mr Engelbert invention unveil the eyes of many. His invention that one could move a device and in turn, cause movement on screen was bold and inspirational. His creation opened up new possibilities of how we could express our imagination on that screen in front of us, and his invention became an icon in the computer world. No one ever thought this piece of invention called mouse will ever fade away, as the need for computer started growing rapidly from the late twentieth century. However our era of mouse will soon be forgotten. The new world of mobile devices is fostering a generation that thinks of inter...
