The problem with life expectancy
Life expectancy for humans can vary but is generally in the mid-70s. While this may seem low, you might be surprised to find out that the way life expectancy is calculated could be a little deceptive. It turns out that we calculate it differently for different animals, including humans. So what is the real answer?
Stop your phone from being tracked with these settings
We're quickly moving toward, or are already in, an information economy. This means companies are acquiring information on everyone and then selling it to advertisers. That little device in your pocket is one of the main contributors. But how can you stop it from gathering this information? I'll show you.

When is now?
We all experience the passing of time. One minute after another. But if that’s the case, when is now? If now is an exact moment, do we ever truly experience now, or does now not really exist? This may sound confusing, but the science behind the moment of now is fascinating.
This battery-free Game Boy will last forever
Game Boy is over 30-years-old, but it's still one of the first things to come to mind when people think about handheld videogames. To make this nostalgic console even better, a group of innovators decided to make a new Game Boy that doesn’t use batteries of any kind. The way they accomplish this is revolutionary and could lead to even more electronics that work like this.

How highways make traffic worse
If you live near one of America's major cities, you've probably traveled along a freeway or two to get around. These speedy highways have been around for decades, and many have expanded to an excessive number of lanes over the years.

A note from my sponsor
You're giving away all your data for that free email account
I don’t trust Big Tech and you shouldn’t, either. You’ve heard me say for years that free email services like Gmail or Yahoo aren’t really free. There’s a big price to pay — your privacy. These free email sites scan, analyze and save details of every email you send and receive, giving Big Tech a very intimate and detailed profile of you so they can easily sell your data to the highest bidder.
That’s why I use StartMail. With StartMail, I can send encrypted emails with one click, even if the recipient doesn’t use encryption. And StartMail never scans or analyzes your emails. Best of all, when you delete an email, it’s gone — forever.
Don’t trust Big Tech with your data and privacy.
