Hello!
I've stumbled upon this short article, an opinion piece: "How to Tell When a Digital Technology Is Not Ready for You" ( https://www.cell.com/patterns/fulltext/S2666-3899(20)30001-5 )
The author presents his insights into judging the readiness of given digital technology for specific usage.
1. Do you think the long time between inception and given technology being widely used/hyped is specific to digital, or can be extended to all kinds of technologies? If it's specific, why do You think is that so?
2. For each example of evaluated technology, author presents short historic context, and asks couple of important questions. Those questions seems highly specific, but can You see any patterns? Is it possible to somehow learn how to ask such questions, or all is needed is just 40 years of experience?
3. In final section, author points to specialized organizations offering advice, Royal Society being one of examples. Do You know any of Polish organizations whose advice You value?

Week 3 [14-19.04.2020]
I've got a discussion topic for you that ignores the ones that are currently in the top...
The article describes a new approach to creating rules to describe the universe. I hope you'll find it interesting!
https://www.sciencenews.org/article/stephen-wolfram-hypergraph-project-fundamental-theory-physics
1) Are you convinced by the idea that the whole universe is one big network connected by the relations of the laws of physics?
2) Do you think it is possible to create new rules that describe the universe during the simulation?
3) What else can a Wolfram hypergraph be used for?
4) Wolfram wants to find a rule to describe the universe that combines several different theories (superstring theory, loop quantum gravity, causal sets). Do you think it's possible at all?

Week 3 [14-19.04.2020] Depressive ...
Dear Friends;
The disease I'm talking about below has affected many of our friends. In my opinion, this's one of the major problems of the 21st century. I don't know if children affect parents that way, but the article interested me. It may also interest you. I hope.
Read "Depressive symptoms in parents are associated with reduced empathy toward their young children" https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0230636 , think and answer a few questions ...
1) Do you think that depression outside COVID-19 is a 21st century disease?
2) Do you know people who have suffered depression?
3) Some of our friends have imaginary depression, have you met such?
4) How do you think how many undiagnosed cases of depression walk on the ground?
5) Do children really depress their parents so much ;-)?
Best regards
