#3 It’s a strange world: Deep Fakes
❗️Oh my God! I can’t believe the president really said that!!! Well, in the future it may become more difficult to know what’s real and what’s fake. Today, with a bit of technology you can make anyone say anything!

#8 It’s a strange world: Digital Nomads
❓Wouldn’t it be cool to earn a good salary while working at a tropical beach?
❗️The internet economy made it possible to do just that. For Mongols, Kazakhs and Kyrgyz, the traditional lifestyle is nomadic – they used to live in tents and move around. But most of them built houses and settled down. Now there is a new nomadic lifestyle – young people working for tech companies are found in cozy locations all over the world. All they need is a laptop and an internet connection!

#11 It’s a strange world: Vertical farming
❓How to feed a growing urban population in times of climate change and natural disasters?
❗️One possible answer may be “vertical farming” – high tech farming in which plants can grow in trays stacked on top of one another. Crops can grow there with artificial light and usually without soil but water mixed with nutrients. The actual “farm” may not look like a farm at all but more like a factory as much of the work is automated. There are more and more vertical farms in developed countries.

#24 It’s a strange world: Singularity
❓Are computers smarter than humans? If not, will they be? If yes, when will they be?
❗️ Most experts agree that we’re not far away from this moment, the moment that is called “singularity”. Probably within our lifetime even! So it’s good to know a thing or two (=a couple of things) about it, right?
