Does the Age Tech take into account the fact that the arrivals are baby boomers who know what tech and AI are?

The Age Tech is evolving as baby boomers, who make up a significant portion of today's seniors, become increasingly familiar with technology.

Here's how it manifests itself

Designing more intuitive interfaces

Tech age developers strive to create user interfaces that are simple, clean, and easy to navigate, drawing inspiration from design principles used in consumer apps and devices.

This includes large touchscreens, self-explanatory icons, voice commands and interactive tutorials

Integration of artificial intelligence (AI) 

AI is increasingly used in the tech age to personalize experiences, anticipate needs and provide proactive assistance.

For example, AI systems can analyze health data to detect anomalies, recommend personalized exercises or remind people to take medication.

Chatbots and AI-powered virtual assistants also facilitate communication and access to information.

Adapting to Baby Boomers' Technological Habits

Age tech companies are conducting studies to understand how baby boomers use technology and what their specific needs are.

This allows us to develop products and services that fit seamlessly into their daily lives, taking into account their preferences in communication, entertainment and health management.

For example, knowing that many Baby Boomers use social networks like Facebook allows companies to create products that use this platform as a means of communication.

Training and support 

There are many initiatives aimed at providing older people with personalized training and support to help them use age tech technologies.

This may include workshops, online tutorials, in-home demonstrations and telephone support.

In short, the tech age recognizes that baby boomers are increasingly comfortable with technology and adapts its solutions accordingly.

The goal is to create technologies that are user-friendly, useful and tailored to the needs and preferences of this generation.

Cognitive Load as Currency

So I was reading this Atlantic article the other day about the fact that labor as the fundamental economic building block of society is being supplanted by "attention". You know: You need to pay attention to Facebook, Twitter needs some too, But wait...TV and newspapers used to exist, etc. Perhaps it was because I have at least 3 jobs and a kid that I felt a certain pang of empathy for our common plight in that moment so I actually read the whole thing. Nice work.

But then it got me thinking: In that economy - people who have a naturally-higher cognitive load capacity than others will have a competitive advantage. It's like being the big, strong labourer vs. the spindly little guy. In an economy which consumers labour, one of those fellas is a lot more hirable. That said, it won't be as obvious at first glance - so what other advantages will it bring? Maybe additional resilience vs. cognitive hijacking by omnipresent ads? (I'm looking at you, Keiichi Matsuda.)

All this is just a little tangent in reference to what kind of screen time I should allow my kid. Most parents don't even know that "screen time" isn't a monolith, so that's how far behind this new economy we are as a proletariat. Good luck, everyone. < 3

Episode 130: Been There, Done That

TNG: "Liaisons" and "Interface"

It's a week of old Trek plots that have been done better previously on TNG. First up, aliens have a weird way of experiencing unfamiliar human (and Klingon) sensations in "Liaisons". After that, Geordi plays VR while aliens play pretend to get help in "Interface".

Also this week: 90s crap, the bulge patrol, and Tristram Shandy.

Note: spoilers for Dolores Claiborne at 22:11 - 22:18

La evolución de la comunicación humana

La comunicación ha sido un pilar fundamental en la evolución humana desde sus inicios. Las primeras formas de comunicación eran principalmente visuales, como las pinturas rupestres, que no solo eran manifestaciones artísticas, sino también herramientas para transmitir conocimiento.  Estas representaciones en las paredes de las cavernas, como las de Lascaux, en Francia, ofrecían escenas de caza y…

A 69-Year-Old Paralyzed Man flies Virtual Drone using Brain Implant

A 69-Year-Old Paralyzed Man flies Virtual Drone using Brain Implant @neosciencehub #Brainimplant #BCI #VirtualDrone #InnovativeTool #Sciencenews #neosciencehub

Using a brain-computer interface (BCI) that decodes neural signals, a 69-year-old paralyzed person has maneuvered a virtual drone. Thanks to this creative accomplishment, the participant can now use their imagination to move their fingers through an obstacle course in a video game. The innovative tool, which connects real-time control and brain activity, shows promise for helping people with…
