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 | Owning a car used to be a symbol of emancipation and adulthood. Now, more and more young people don't own a car and don't see the benefit of owning one. They would rather spend their money on technological devices. Car companies are worried because they have noticed that people under 25 don't want to buy cars anymore. There has been a change in young people's priorities. Cars are too expensive, and digital devices are becoming the new symbols of freedom. People can easily travel, meet people, and communicate online; thus, they don't need cars anymore. Also, it is more convenient to use one's smartphone or tablet while using public transportation. Times are changing and we need to adapt to new technologies.
