When President John F. Kennedy stood before the nation in 1962 and declared that we would go to the Moon—not because it was easy, but because it was hard—he lit a fire that carried a generation into the stars. It was bold. Audacious. A promise that seemed impossible… until it wasn’t. Today, that spirit is…

Apple, for decades, stood as the modern paragon of disruptive innovation—the company that made us feel the future before it arrived. But lately, it seems Apple is trading in its greatest asset: creative momentum. There’s a haunting symmetry between Apple’s current trajectory and the slow declines of once-mighty giants like Kodak and RIM. They too…

Once upon a time, the world looked to you for dreams. Your stories lit up the dark. You taught us to hope, to fight, to love bigger than we ever thought we could. You drew us into the theaters–Heck! My first real job, at fifteen, was that of being an usher at the Algonquin Theater…

Isaac Asimov’s The Robots of Dawn presents a vision of intelligent, humanoid robots integrated into society, raising questions about ethics, autonomy, and the boundaries between human and machine.

Back then, calculators were briefly banned from U.S. schools because the Board of Education feared they’d dumb down Americans’ proficiency in math and science. Of course, the use of calculators led to landing rovers on Mars.…

Ask anyone if Time Travel exists and the vast majority of those asked will quickly tell you… No! Because they are looking to correct the past and the only direction that time travel exists in, is the future. So what is my proof? Well, I asked ChatGPT to summarize some of the earliest Sci-Fi novels…

Anyone who has spent time with me discussing technology or science fiction knows that one of the most influential books I’ve ever read is Snow Crash (1992) by Neal Stephenson. For me, it was a trailblazer, lighting the way to ideas often overlooked by mainstream thinking. For anyone entering the field of information technology, it’s…

Just as every mousetrap eventually gives way to a more clever mouse, securing elections presents a similar challenge. Evidence of substantial voter fraud in recent U.S. presidential elections isn’t hard to find—I avoid conspiracy theories posted social as well as main stream media feeds, and rigorously fact-check my sources and there is direct evidence of…
