On his account, Mark Holubetz (@ECPP) said he posts content with the goal of teaching his subscribers of over 200,000 YouTubers "everything about premium, luxury, and exotic cars."
"There are a lot of reasons to buy an electric car, but there are also many reasons not to," captioned a recent video.
"When you compare electric [versus] petrol or ICE cars (internal combustion engine) then you might think you're getting a big improvement when you go electric, but you might just regret buying that car."
"Many people believe electric cars are the future," he said in the clip while walking around a dealership lot. READ MORE...
Micro-habits are the antidote to a chaotic world, offering a pathway to sustainable change.
We live in a time of hyperconnectivity, complexity and fragmented attention.
For entertainment, humans used to watch stage performances that lasted several hours. Then came modern audiovisual films that run for 90 minutes.
A decade ago, we welcomed YouTube, where the average video lasts 11.7 minutes. Even this proved too long for distracted minds, and social media found a sweet spot in 15-second TikTok clips, curated — on autoplay — by an algorithm that knows us better than we know ourselves.
We see this tendency in education. Degrees used to take three or more years. Then came diplomas and certificates. Now people engage in microlearning and proudly share their nano-badge or micro-credential, earned in a few weeks, days or hours.
Books became blinks, letters turned into tweets and hostility downsized into microaggressions. How can future leaders navigate a world of habituated busyness and micronized attention?
Sustained focus is difficult. Left untethered, our minds seek out novelty and relief. Quick video clips, for example, require minimal commitment with the promise of a dopamine hit.
Is order crumbling into chaos? Can we ever again enjoy slow travel, deep work or a lengthy novel? READ MORE...
A museum in China has taken a page out of science fiction and is creating lifelike robots with veins in their legs and goosebumps on their skin.
The EX Future and Science Museum in the Chinese city of Dalian shows off advanced forms of robotic technology aimed at making robots as customizable and lifelike as possible.
According to a tour of the museum's research and design center published by the Chinese state-linked media channel CGTN, the technicians at the museum can scan features and limbs to create dynamic 3D robots.
In a clip posted on YouTube, a journalist has her facial features scanned to "customize an android of her own." Parts of her body are then 3D printed. The video shows her controlling the movements of a 3D printed robotic limb via a wearable glove.
"The skin is made of medical-grade bionic silicone, and the goosebumps on the skin, the veins on the feet, and the palm lines — they're all very realistic," the museum's vice president, Yang Jianguo, told CGTN. READ MORE...
