Summary | Elon Musk said that in eight or ten years our brains will be perfectly connected to artificial intelligence. Facebook also announced that they want us to be able to write directly from our brain, with a "thought reader" helmet that would be ready in two years. We live in a world where people are not able to concentrate because of the noise our smartphones make when we receive notifications. Sherry Turkle claims that smartphones are not simple accessories; they are powerful devices that change not only what you do, but also who you are. Some people are worried about what the internet and artificial intelligence will bring in the future.

Summary | The idea of dissociative personality (or multiple personality) has been exploited in various novels, comics and movies (e.g. Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde, Hulk, The Mask, Mrs. Doubtfire). With the advance of virtual reality, the issue of dissociative personality will be more and more apparent, especially with social networks. The version of ourselves that we display online is a better version of ourselves. Our online clones represent what we would like to be.

Summary | Interview of the historian and journalist Timothy Garton. He talks about people's use of internet and how they can spread lies and truths. Private data, lies, truths, vigilance, and hatred circulate online. Garton claims that regarding freedom of speech, things are worse than before. According to Garton, it is part of what he calls a global anti-liberal counterrevolution. The enemies of freedom of speech are: states, and private superpowers such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, Amazon, Apple. Indeed, they also control what we see and do not see. When states and those superpowers come together, things can become dangerous.

Summary | Nowadays, the perfect crime seems to be the one that is retransmitted live. Does that mean that fame triggers more violence? Social media have changed a lot of things, and one of them is the chosen way to commit a murder. Indeed, it seems that the need for public display generated some changes in people's life, relationships and egos -which anyone can see- but also an incitement to murder. Would the Cleveland murder have happened without Facebook live?

In April, at a conference, Facebook talked about the possibility of writing directly from the brain. Virtual reality is the future, and it will offer information in an non-intrusive way. Experts point out, however, that the great challenge of such a technology is its high cost.
