Your Facebook news feed - an excuse to learn about all sorts of weird-ass technology
The world we live in is a fast-paced place. With the rising power of technology, this accelerated speed has extended to the many realms of science as well. And while twenty years ago you might have heard a rumor of a rumor about some strange scientific development being undertaken and probably dismissed it as some delusional urban legend, now, with the proper news feed on your handy-dandy Facebook profile, you can get all the latest techno-news delivered right to your front door. Or at least the digital front door of your FB feed.
Every week I get a dozen or so strange stories, videos or pictures that travel through my feed and leave me scratching my head in wonder at all the crazy stuff people are inventing today. Many of these announcements even come from <gasp> reputable news sources. Some sites are entirely devoted to finding the strangest and most futuristic and letting their subscribers know all about them. If you’ve ever wanted to be the guy that knows about cool tech before everyone else, Facebook is one way to try to achieve that position.
