Curious tech and technology from the realm of science and science fiction.
The Day the Seeds Glitched
Utopian Introduction In 2149, the world finally looked “right.” There were no wars. No sorrow. No shouting in the streets. The climate was stable, cities shimmered under clean, solar glass towers, and even the oceans had been restored to their engineered neutrality. Every human wore peace like a uniform. Not because they wanted to, but because the system made them want nothing else.

Is AI Making Us Smarter or Just More Dependent? A Deep Dive Into the Future of Human Thinking
In the last few years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has moved from science fiction into the center of our everyday lives. We ask smart assistants to set alarms, ChatGPT to help with schoolwork, and even rely on apps to suggest what to eat, wear, or say. As amazing as this is, one important question is rising among thinkers and everyday people alike:

Is Wendy’s New AI Drive-Thru the Future—Or a Fast Food Fail?
Fast food has always been about speed and convenience, but what happens when technology takes over the drive-thru window? Wendy’s is rolling out its new system, called FreshAI, to take orders at hundreds of its locations by the end of 2025. This setup, developed with Google, listens to customers, responds, and processes orders in real time. It’s already active in nearly 100 spots across 19 states, with plans to expand to 500 or 600 more this year. But while some see this as a big step forward, others are calling it a big flop. So, what’s the real story?

The immortality consequence
Thank you for listening to Tech Stuff, today is April 30th, 2208. Because of the women we’re going to talk to today I’ve been alive 108 years and I look damn good. Today’s story is about Doctor Gretta Dunbar, the youngest person to open her own lab. At 20, she started Dunbar Labs, which made some of the biggest discoveries in centuries. By the age of 35, she made Time Magazine's person of the year three times, published many research papers, and launched her own podcast. Dunbar Labs was the first lab to clone a human being, perfect cryogenics, and create mechanical body parts with skin that looks and feels like the real thing.

They’ve evolved into something far more personal and essential — guardians of our health, our safety, and our peace of mind.
