Karen’s Weekly Technology Hits Review

A universe of things, truels, Elon Musk, plus love and screens.

I didn’t expect to find this gem in the Technology Hits #philosophy! An excellent mystery. Tim StiX leads us through clue after clue to help us guess who he is. Most enjoyable.

If I told you now that I was larger than life. Would you believe me? Or would you think I was being big-headed and overly impressed with my own self-worth?

This #entertainment piece from Lynda Coker made me giggle and I learned a new word!

How did you answer the question posed in the title of this article? If you’re a gamer, you most likely answered, yes. If you’re gaming-challenged like me, not likely. But what exactly is a truel?

Now for a couple of Elon Musk related stories. Just think of the technology this amazing man has brought to us! He also uses Twitter to point us in the direction of a truly private communication app. Nikhil Vemu shares information about Signal and WhatsApp.

Elon Musk, who’s widely known for his productivity and technology, just gave a free advice to all the twitterati. He tweeted simply “Use Signal”, which raised curiosity in many. Here’s what Signal actually is, and why Elon Musk advised everyone to prefer Signal over the Facebook-owned WhatsApp.

I have been an English as a second language (ESL) teacher for ten years. I’ve had hundreds of iTalki English conversation sessions over four or five years. I don’t speak any other languages.

If someone wants to have a conversation with me I will help them with their pronunciation and grammar and add to their vocabulary. They have no choice but to speak in English. I find this works very well for both parties!

Could Musk’s OpenAI be the end of ESL teachers?

If you’ve ever wanted to learn a new language you probably tried out quite a few apps. AJ Krow brings us a story that recommends we stop using Duolingo.

There are better alternatives to achieve fluency.

As an aspiring language learner, I’ve come to a realization. Despite the many methods and resources available to learn a language, none of them can achieve true mastery. They all lack certain elements that force us to rely on multiple resources to achieve fluency.

The 80s were my decade for music. The 90s disappeared into raising my son and achieving a successful career.

Nicole Maharaj transported me back to some of the best times of my life. Then shot us fast forward to the pandemic and the impact it is having on us now and may have in the longer term too.

It wasn’t too long ago that the eighties and nineties happened. I remember those days well, because I grew up in the nineties, and slightly in the eighties as well, as I was born on the edge of both. Being a child born from a mother who loved the eighties with the utmost of passions, meant that I spent many nights and days listening to the songs of the eighties, and watching the many movie classics of that time.

Star Read

This week I had to share this fascinating article by Desiree Driesenaar. Using technology to restore overused soil to fertile is something that farmers the world over need right now.

Better for our health. Better for the world’s health. More inclusive. Why not heal the broken past? And create a regenerative future. A resilient future for all of us. Humans and other species.
