What Happens to Your Data When You Die?
The good news: you own your data. The bad news? That's only true while you're alive.
“The rule of thumb is that you own your data, it's your property, basically. But you co-own it with whatever platform you're uploading into,” Carl Öhman, an associate senior lecturer at Uppsala University’s Department of Government in Sweden, tells Popular Mechanics.
Opinion: Data isn’t the new oil — it’s the new nuclear power
Data is a valuable, powerful commodity — but unlike oil, it is unlimited in quantity and in its capacity for harm, says technology thinker James Bridle.

AI For Compliance: What, Why, How
With the constant rise and use of technology, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a great companion to compliance.

There are challenges but also potential benefits of digital distractions
We are in the midst of a battle for our attention. Our devices have hijacked our brains and destroyed our collective ability to concentrate – to the extent that we’re even seeing the emergence of a “goldfish generation”. That, at least, is the story that’s increasingly being told. But should we be paying attention to it?
Batteries: Technology trends

Cloud economics and the six most damaging mistakes to avoid
Cloud aspirations versus cloud value. The potential of the cloud is pretty much indisputable today, and the vast majority of companies around the world use cloud technology. But many (even those already on the cloud) may be stuck in legacy thinking about on-site computing models, with calcified strategies based on either owning or consuming IT instead of encompassing various cloud-specific financial approaches and models. Companies are making a number of cloud economics mistakes, and McKinsey has compiled the six most common and detrimental. As cloud consumption becomes more core to business than ever, companies that manage their cloud economics effectively will find true cloud value—rather than simply having cloud aspirations.
Cloud foundations: Ten commandments for faster—and more profitable—cloud migrations
Get foundational. Too often, IT departments focus on short-term gains—migrating a set of applications to the cloud as fast as they can—without first building the right cloud foundations. Such migrations can flounder, resulting in significant delays and even financial repercussions. Companies that lay a solid foundation will see notable rewards in speed and value, and McKinsey has outlined the ten most crucial actions for building it.
Gamification For Learning: Strategies And Examples
Gamification is about applying gaming strategies to improve learning and make it more engaging for individuals. Gamification for learning can be beneficial because games instill lifelong skills such as problem-solving, critical thinking, social awareness, cooperation, and collaboration. Games also motivate individuals, increase interest in certain subjects, reduce the rate of attrition among learners, improve grades, and enhance their cognitive abilities.
The global gamification market's estimated CAGR growth is 30%, around $31 billion, between 2020 and 2025 compared to 2019.
In this article, you’ll learn all about gamification, including practical strategies and examples. By the end, you should know everything you need to get up and running with this contemporary eLearning strategy.
What is the circular economy and why does it matter?
In a circular economy, things are made and consumed in a way that minimizes our use of the world’s resources, cuts waste and reduces carbon emissions. Products are kept in use for as long as possible, through repairing, recycling and redesign – so they can be used again and again.
At the end of a product’s life, the materials used to make it are kept in the economy and reused wherever possible
5 reasons to shift from a ‘throw-it-away’ consumption model to a ‘circular economy’
A growing number of businesses, governments and civil society organizations are coming together to drive the change through the Platform for Accelerating the Circular Economy (PACE). More than 200 experts from 100 organizations helped develop the Circular Economy Action Agenda, a set of publications that analyze the potential impact and call for action across five key sectors: plastics, textiles, electronics, food and capital equipment (machinery and large tools such as medical scanners, agricultural equipment and manufacturing infrastructure). The Action Agenda demonstrates five opportunities associated with the shift to a circular economy:

Probing reality and myth in the metaverse
The metaverse—like many innovations—is shrouded in mysticism and skepticism. Proponents believe that the metaverse will be revolutionary and fully transform the way we work, shop, socialize, and play. Others are more skeptical and see a hype-fueled fad that appeals to gamers and celebrities.
On a study involving 1000 consumers aged 13 to 70, it was found that a majority of consumers know and engage with some form of the metaverse, and many expect it to become a significant part of their lives. In fact, we debunked six myths about the metaverse and now see that consumers across age cohorts will shape its purpose and prosperity.

Apple Just Became a $3 Trillion Corporation. It's Not Worth 1/10th That Much
We need to count the true cost of this earth-wrecking company
When you boil it down, Apple has done little more than sold us a few billion plastic boxes designed to addict us, so that marketers can bombard us with ads, divide societal along political and racial lines, thus changing the course of our individual lives and collective history.
In other words, Apple is essentially worthless.
Corporations know nothing of what it means to be human. They don’t know or care about what leads to genuine health, happiness, and widest-spread wellbeing. They know nothing of love. All they understand and care about is profit, profit, profit.
Apple is just a giant extraction machine that exists to siphon wealth from late investors, taxpayers, laborers, users, and the environment.
