The Internet Is Changing Us in Ways We Don’t Notice
I caught myself doing it again tonight. Unlocking my phone for no real reason. Not to check a message. Not to look something up. Just… opening it. Like muscle memory. Like breathing.

How machines can learn from human behaviour. Top Story - March 2026.
In order to understand where we are and where we are going, we need to understand where we were first. - Susan Fourtane Could a human behaviour simulator be embedded into a robot or online avatar to the point that it’s hard to distinguish between a real person or artificial intelligence? Scientists have been upping the stakes in this “Turing test” for years, to the point that human-mimicking programmes are ready to answer tricky questions, assist people with online shopping or be companions.

10 Mind-Blowing Space Stories School Never Told You

AI as a Reflective Surface
Much of the confusion surrounding artificial intelligence comes from treating it as an agent rather than a surface. When people speak about AI “doing the thinking,” “creating the ideas,” or “speaking for someone,” they are often projecting agency onto a system that does not possess intention, belief, or understanding. This projection obscures what is actually happening in many real-world uses. In those cases, AI is not acting as a source of meaning, but as a surface that reflects, redirects, and reshapes what is already present.

What a Strong App Strategy Looks Like for Growing Companies?
I remember the meeting clearly because nothing felt wrong at first. The numbers were good. Usage was up. New requests kept coming in. Still, as I sat there flipping through a roadmap that had been revised three times in as many months, I felt a quiet tension I couldn’t ignore. Growth was happening faster than our assumptions.

How to Build a Domain Layer That Works Across iOS, Android, and Backend?
The room felt heavier than it should have for a Tuesday morning. Coffee cups lined the table like timestamps, each one marking another hour spent circling the same issue. Whiteboards covered every wall, layered with half-erased diagrams that no longer matched the code anyone was shipping. I stood near the window, watching traffic move below, while three engineers sat in front of me, each confident in their own implementation and quietly uneasy about everyone else’s.
