A small tech starter on 2016

Biz Stone thinks the world can be adjusted with a little help from technology. I think what he thinks is worth thinking, cause on demand economies are not the best this superpower can do, and I reprimand a society which vows for making the easy easier instead of urging to tackle the hard: healthcare, education, politics. We are getting there, no worries.

New Year is a tough time for me. I am never content with the time spent compared to the amount accomplished, I am never settled with the status quo, and I am hardly ever there for the moments of celebration. But this year, I take Yoda as an alter ego of mine to an artificial new beginning to make me unplug for what has been and focus on what is. General mindfulness wording, which is more mainstream than dairy alternative coffee-s in this improved world liberated from gluten. Yet, makes me happier.

I have no resolutions. This is my resolution. I just want a couple of things to happen and I know they are going to.

A.I. will be better perceived, losing the shallow chic and gaining more perspective and objectivity.

Queues in the NHS will get smaller, thanks to intelligent triage with the aid of tech.

Yoga will cast a shadow on heavy squatting, as too much material spent on jeans is not efficient.

Healthy eating will be less hype and more affordable, unless you want a place where those who can pre-empt illness are only the ones, who can also pay for care.

Coffee will keep getting better, and major brands will stop burning the beans.

Uber will work on its image, and the cab drivers will divide the streets with consent, not spiteful comments.

We will have more heroes than the social media athletes, princesses, happy wives and food experts, who are amazing, yet not sufficient.

Mental health will gain a momentum, cutting deals in schools, universities, research and corporations; to be treated as a disease rather than a debilitating social sticker.

Finally, we will be able to teach the machines, like we do our kids. From our home keyboards, all about how we feel, what we think and how to make things a tiny bit better. Cause that’s what they are for, those machines.

Let’s make this year matter.
