Even Pills Are
Going Digital
D-BRIEFEven Pills Are Going Digital11/15/2017 —
By Lauren SigfussonNot following medicine as
prescribed can be costly — like $100 billion to
$289 billion, as reported by The Atlantic in 2012.
Not only that, but it can also harm patients and
set back their treatment. But a new digital pill
could change that.

Digisexuality:
Merging Sex and
Technology
Human culture has always evolved in tandem
with technological developments. And that
includes sexuality.Robots, virtual reality, and
telecommunication tech are all just beginning to
be repurposed to fulfill sexual needs. They can
range from something as simple as vibrators that
use Bluetooth to communicate with your phone
to advanced AI-based sex dolls, and they fall
under the umbrella of digisexuality, a term that
describes human sexual interactions involving
technology.Technology will likely only become
further interwoven into our romantic lives as
time goes on, and for most, it will probably
function as simply an accessory to, or perhaps
enhancement of, age-old traditions.

Drones Are a
Greener Way to
Receive Packages
One annoyance of ordering items from the
internet is waiting for delivery. That’s why many
companies are set on making sure you get your
items as quickly as possible — like Amazon
Prime’s free two-day shipping.But shipping,
especially fast, comes at an environmental cost.
Previous studies have shown that moving goods
by conventional aircraft is four times more
carbon-intensive than by truck, which is 10 times
more carbon-intensive than rail. Since many
companies including Amazon,
UPS, Boeingand Flirtey are working toward
adding drones to speed up the delivery process
and greenhouse gases are releasing into Earth’s
atmosphere at an alarming rate, it’s important to
look at the potential environmental footprint of
delivery drones.
