Blog

Welcome to my blog, a dedicated space with three key objectives: to discuss the nuances and implications of technological progress, to chronicle the evolution of my practice and research, and to connect with like-minded people who share a keen interest in these topics.

Fun day: Groundhog Day and quantum mechanics

This time, it’s the turn of quantum mechanics. Nevertheless, instead of trying to explain the advanced math behind it, which I don’t even think I’m qualified to discuss, I will use the movie Groundhog Day to illustrate the superposition principle from quantum mechanics.

9. Agency in Industry 4.0

Our agency comes from our understanding of the world and the objects around us. We don’t feel that we lose agency because we can’t fly. We understand that we are bound to a set of physical rules that define the nature of our world. In the same way, we gain agency over machines when we understand what precise technology is doing and how is it doing it.

8. Terrestrial v Satellite

Although it is possible to compare the technical specifications of these two types of communication—such as data throughput, coverage or cost; the business logic behind these two technologies couldn’t be more different. It would be like comparing a chain of supermarkets (5G), that offers a wide range and volume of products for a large population, with a new company looking to bring drinking water to underserved communities (Satellite).
