" Gartner fellow Jackie Fenn, who came up with the hype cycle idea in 1995, says "there are actually three main trends at work. These are augmenting humans with technology — for example, an employee with a wearable computing device; machines replacing humans — for example, a cognitive virtual assistant acting as an automated customer representative; and humans and machines working alongside each other — for example, a mobile robot working with a warehouse employee to move many boxes. " Fenn's collaborator Hung LeHong says these trends have been made possible because machines are becoming better at understanding humans and humans are becoming better at understanding machines.

How you CAN forget painful memories through intentional forgetting, research reveals

Researchers at the University of St Andrews in Scotland are testing ways to help people forget their not so pleasant recollections. Malcolm MacLeod, a Psychology and Neuroscience Professor, had been conducting research on memory and the means in which people can improve their memory. Forget me not: Most human memories are stored in the hippocampus region of the brain But his research took a turn when he pondered if the steps to improve memory could be reversed, to help a person improve their ability to forget.

The pair decided to try and investigate measures that might help individuals held hostage to painful memories that were contributing to severe psychological disorders like depression or post-traumatic stress disorder. 'That's a large effect,' he added. ‫פרופ' פרץ לביא ,נשיא הטכניון - שינה - אשנב לפעילות המוח‬‎ ‫חקר העתיד: בעקבות הפרויקט "Iknow" - ד"ר אהרון האופטמן‬‎ Bayes Theorem: Key to the Universe, Richard Carrier Skepticon 4.

According to his online profile, he is a tall, lean, ripped and agile 30-year-old. By every measure, Grok is in superb health: low blood pressure; no inflammation; ideal levels of insulin, glucose, cholesterol and triglycerides. He and his family eat really healthy, too. They gather wild seeds, grasses, and nuts; seasonal vegetables; roots and berries. They hunt and fish their own meat. Ostensibly, Grok is "a rather typical hunter–gatherer" living before the dawn of agriculture—an "official primal prototype. " Proponents of the Paleo diet follow a nutritional plan based on the eating habits of our ancestors in the Paleolithic period, between 2.5 million and 10,000 years ago.

Most Paleo dieters of today do none of this, with the exception of occasional hunting trips or a little urban foraging. Almost equal numbers of advocates and critics seem to have gathered at the Paleo diet dinner table and both tribes have a few particularly vociferous members.
