Although I do believe the idea in the TED talk that many people’s jobs might become obsolete in the future because Artificial Intelligence is simply the better option, I do think that it is the distant future that we are talking about. However, I think it is fascinating to be thinking of how the world of future generations might be so different…[Read more]

I would test this hypothesis by using pre-existed research on the cause of skin issues and do a survey on people who are having a healthy diet to see if it correlate with their skin condition. This is tested before and it is proven that…[Read more]
