Breaking down the world’s tariffs against China’s tech industry

Technology

In the 1970s, China became the world’s factory when it started allowing international manufacturers to set up shop and produce goods cheaply within its borders.

EARLY YEARS: 30 years of “The Magic School Bus” and its impact on science education

Science and Health

ROANOKE, Va. (WDBJ) – For three decades, kids have hopped aboard “The Magic School Bus”, following Ms. Frizzle and her class, as they set off on field trips.“There’s just something about “The Magic School Bus” that stands out in terms of its quality, the impact that it had in its time and its continued impact today,” says Virginia Tech Associate Professor Matt Wisnioski.Based on the book series, “The Magic School Bus” takes kids on a virtual bus ride. They do everything from transporting kids inside the human body to taking them to the outer reaches of space.Wisnioski is studying the show as part of a National Science Foundation grant.Radford University associate professor Michael Meindl is working with him on the research.“I definitely had memories of seeing particular episodes and particular moments from when I was growing up,” says Meindl.Both are working to learn about balancing science education with fiction and entertainment.“There was a National Science Foundation study in the late 1980s that demonstrated that kids spent more time watching TV in a week than they were at school, and so I think one of the goals of the National Science foundation was to try to meet really young kids where they were,” says Wisnioski.Since 1994, “The Magic School Bus” TV series has helped get young children excited about science.Both researchers say the key to the show’s longevity is that it featured evergreen topics, with nothing too cutting edge.“The education’s still relevant today, but it’s still an enjoyable show that children are still able to watch and laugh at,” says Meindl. “There’s a lot of these people out there in the sciences, science medical fields, etc. that really did get that passion for learning about science from the show.”Kids can still enjoying watching the “The Magic School Bus” series on Netflix, Tubi or Roku.Copyright 2024 WDBJ.

Famous city in Italy copies Spain and Greece and says ‘too many tourists’

Travel

The beautiful city of Florence, known and loved by travellers all over the world, is following in the footsteps of other European cities in order to tackle the increasing number of tourists.Florence welcomes millions of tourists every year, with it expected to reach 15 million by the end of this year, the city is now taking action to challenge overtourism.Short-term rentals are a major issue in Florence. The city currently has the highest density of  Airbnb and short-term rental listings in the whole of Italy, which has led to a reduction of houses on the market for locals.As a result, it has become the first city in Italy to install a block on new short-term rentals in the historic centre, and the number of listings has doubled to over 14,000 since 2016.Mayor Sara Funaro has also announced a ten-point plan devised to improve the situation and protect local residents from the impacts of overtourism.City officials have said that actions which will come into effect in 2025 will preserve the  UNESCO-listed history centre as a “living and unique city” for residents and visitors.The action plan will include bans on key boxes, golf carts and loudspeakers for tourism issues, as locals have expressed that key boxes enable short-term rentals that force residents out of the city.In a recent protest, Florence campaigners decided to tape red Xs over the key boxes with “Let’s save Florence so that we can live here” written on them to show their fury over holiday rentals that have caused the displacement of residents and local businesses. According to news site Skift, Jacopo Vicini, the city’s councillor for economic development and tourism, shared that short-term rentals have had a “very significant impact on the cost and availability of local housing” which has a direct impact on the community.He told Skift: “When you remove long-term residents, you remove the customers for the small shops and businesses in the immediate neighbourhood.”The Italian government are working to implement laws across the whole country to restrict short-term rental operations however, with 70% of the 11,000 listed ones in Florence being in World Heritage sites it left residents calling out immediate action.

Secret to Eternal Youth Is Within Grasp: Leading AI Scientist

Science and Health

A leading AI scientist and futurist has predicted that humans will develop the ability to stay young for longer.Ray Kurzweil—known for some spot-on predictions, such as stating that humans would use portable computers and wireless technology by 2009, and some less accurate ones, including that self-driving cars would be in use by then and technological leaps would result in constant economic growth—has said humans will develop “longevity escape velocity,” by 2029.”Longevity escape velocity” is the idea that humans will be able to extend our life expectancies by so much that we will essentially turn back the clock on ourselves.

Speaking with Bessemer Venture Partners, Kurzweil, a principal researcher and AI expert at Google, said: “So, right now, you go through a year and use up a year of your longevity. However, research is advancing and it’s curing various diseases.”You’re actually getting back on average about four months a year. So you lose a year of longevity. You get back about four months because of scientific research. However, scientific research is also on an exponential curve. By 2029, you’ll get back a full year. So you lose a year, but you get back a year.”He added to his prediction, explaining: “We’re constantly replacing a lot of our body all the time. In fact, most of our body is constantly dying and recreating. And as we go through more and more scientific progress, we’ll extend that. Forever. So once you’re past longevity escape velocity, you go through a year, you’re not a year older and you’re not more likely to die.”Kurzweil is confident in his prediction about medical advances because of how quickly the medical community was able to create and produce the COVID-19 vaccine.He explained that, while it used to take about 19 years for medical advancements to hit the market, the COVID-19 vaccine was designed in just two days and sent to market in 10 months, meaning that medical advancements are no longer held back by long timelines.This vaccine was created with emergency funds and was sent to the global population as a public health measure.Kurzweil made it clear that this technology does not account for accidents or sudden death.He told Bessemer Venture Partners that advances in medicine do not “guarantee you living forever. You could have a 10-year-old and you could compute that he’s got many, many decades of longevity, but he could die tomorrow.”The secret to eternal youth has been coveted across the ages, from characters in fiction like Peter Pan and Dorian Gray to tech entrepreneur Bryan Johnson, who is trying to reverse aging by experimenting on himself.Johnson, whose work was not mentioned by Kurzweil, spends $2 million a year on anti-aging experiments such as receiving blood transfusions from his teenage son, injecting fat into his face and undergoing gene therapy. He also sells Blueprint Longevity Mix supplements.Do you have a story we should be covering? Do you have any questions about this article? Contact  [email protected]
