You may think of your favorite sci-fi movie when somebody mentions artificial intelligence (AI). But today, AI is a reality that we all better get accustomed to.

You’re not quite certain why, but you’ve been feeling cranky lately. Well, you did feel left out earlier today when no one bothered to bring you into the meeting discussion at the office and that was irritating.

This can result in greater depression rates and feelings of isolation in those with hearing loss. And these feelings of depression and isolation can be increased by the breakdown of […]

Bananas don’t taste the same as they once did. That’s because today’s banana farmers grow a really different type of banana then they used to.
