  The Future of Technology -...

  Technology has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past century, reshaping the way humans live, work, and connect. From the invention of the telephone and the light bulb to the rise of smartphones and artificial intelligence, the evolution of modern technology has been defined by rapid innovation and constant reinvention. Each era has built upon the breakthroughs of the previous one, creating a chain of progress that continues to accelerate today. 
  The shift from analog to digital marked a major turning point in technological history. Analog systems, such as early telecommunication devices and vinyl records, relied on continuous signals to transmit information. The digital revolution replaced these with binary systems, allowing data to be stored, processed, and transmitted with unprecedented efficiency. This change laid the groundwork for computers, the internet, and countless digital devices that are now part of everyday life. What once required entire rooms of equipment can now be done with the swipe of a finger on a pocket-sized smartphone. 
  Key milestones have shaped the modern technological landscape. The invention of the microprocessor in the 1970s allowed for the development of personal computers, which soon evolved into powerful tools for both work and leisure. The rise of the internet in the 1990s connected people and information across the globe, shrinking the world into a digital village. In the 2000s, mobile technology and wireless networks enabled a level of connectivity that few could have imagined a generation earlier. These advances have made information accessible to billions and created new platforms for communication, education, and commerce.

  Best New Books on Space 2024 – Forbes 
  ‘Rarely is a non-fiction book about science this engaging’ – Forbes 
  Why darkness is so important – to plants, to animals, and to ourselves – and why we must protect it all costs. 
  Darkness is the first thing we know in our human existence. Safe and warm inside the bubble of the womb, we are comfortable in that embracing dark. But as soon as we are bought into the light, we learn to fear the dark. Why? 
  This book is a celebration of all things that go bump in the night and the joy that can be found when the sun goes down. As a society we have closed our curtains to the darkness, now Dani Robertson urges you to cast those curtains wide, step out of your front door and let the darkness pull you in. 
  Some 99 per cent of Western Europeans live under light polluted skies, but what is this doing to our health? Our wellbeing? Our connection to the cycles of nature? 
  Our wildlife, too, has been cast into the harsh glare of our light addiction, with devastating impacts. 
  In this book Dani shares with you the excitement and adventure she has found when everyone else is tucked up in bed. She explores constellations and cultures, enjoys environmental escapades, all whilst learning why we are addicted to light and why it is ruining our lives. She’ll show you why the darkness is so important and why we must protect it all costs. You’ll become a crusader of Darkness and an expert on what we can do to stop the onward march of light pollution (clue: it’s as easy as the flick of a switch). 
  Her life depends on darkness, and yours does too. 
  Dani Robertson's All Through The Night is a non-fiction exploration of the importance of darkness in our ecosystems. It's a journey through the wilderness of the night sky, touching on topics of astronomy, ecology, and conservation. This bestseller is a call to action for the protection of our habitats from light pollution.

  "Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison: The Rival Inventors Who Powered the Modern Era" is an enthralling two-in-one volume that unites the remarkable stories of two of history's most extraordinary inventors. Authored by Michael W. Simmons, this composite work weaves together the parallel narratives of Tesla and Edison, whose innovations and rivalry forged the path of the technological age. 
  The first section, derived from "Nikola Tesla: Prophet of The Modern Technological Age," immerses readers in the mysterious and groundbreaking world of Nikola Tesla. Renowned for inventions like the induction motor and contributions to electrical engineering, Tesla's life was filled with achievements that bordered on the magical. This book takes readers from Tesla's extraordinary childhood experiences in Croatia, through his fierce competition with Edison, to his ambitious projects that revolutionized technology and occasionally, like in New York, almost literally shook the world. Relationships with key figures such as Mark Twain, J.P. Morgan, and Albert Einstein are explored, revealing the depth of Tesla's impact in various spheres. 
  Transitioning to "Thomas Edison: American Inventor," the second section of the book, readers encounter the quintessential story of American innovation. Edison's journey from conducting experiments in his youth to inventing the phonograph and the incandescent light bulb is a testament to his inventive genius. Through Edison’s personal writings and contemporary accounts, the book vividly brings to life the experience of witnessing Edison's inventions for the first time. His friendships with notable individuals like Henry Ford and his wartime efforts offer a comprehensive view of a man whose inventions illuminated the world. 
  Together, these stories form "Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison a compelling narrative.
