RE: 29.0353 Years
That was such an epic move on your part to buy those credits. I've never heard of that before. I left the workforce at 46 and don't regret "early retirement" one bit. I would say, it would be

You're right, those who shrug off this new tech will be left behind in some aspects. There will be small pockets of people who choose to live without it and they might be a whole lot happier in some ways.

Interesting, I'd never heard of that! It's also interesting that the Streisand-effect made the theory popular. I feel like AI will be the key that unlocks so many of our mysteries. It feels like it will

They will, undoubtedly, eliminate jobs. Some are saying up to 90% of jobs will be wiped out within the first decade.

Thanks for your comment! I can't imagine how luxurious it would feel to have a bot taking care of all the things we can no longer do or tedious tasks. I can see how this will become a multi-trillion dollar

It's weird to think about what the human-robot dynamic will be like once the dust settles. We can probably look to Sci-Fi for clues. They will be a shock at first but eventually we'll accept them as

It's looking like the tech might evolve exponentially from this point (if it doesn't go rogue). I think capable AI was the missing piece of the puzzle that stifled innovation. China already has entire

It's a mixture of worrisome and exciting for me. I think, in some ways, we're going to consider ourselves lucky to remember what it was like before AI/Robotics existed.

Household DIY will be the ultimate test for these robots! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to make 2-3 trips to the hardware store in one day while working on a project, not to mention all the

It sure is. Yes, I can see a transitionary period where certain lanes will be dedicated to autonomous driving. The speed limits will be able to be increased because it will be more safe. I don't think

EVs, self-driving, and really the whole wave of AI and robotics that's on our doorstep has taught me how scared people of of change. Also, absolutely everything is politicized now which adds a different

Pile of book shame! Lol. I can't wait to have this house put together so I can get all mine on bookshelves. I've read more this year than ever before too. I feel so much better when I'm learning. It's

I bet you miss it! Absence really does make the heart grow fonder when it comes to some things. I'm sure you'll be thrilled to get completely through this transition. I hope you're doing well. Our renovation

It sure can. The more of the good habits we can program into our subconscious mind, the better. I think I'm on my fourth copy of 365! I've worn a few out and lost one during a move somehow. Life is just

I'm the same way, Nancy. I tend to wrap myself in in the comfort of routines/rituals more during challenging times. Reading is the best way to drift off at night. I used to do that but now my reading time

I'd be surprised if something like that hasn't been created. I'd love to create a companion app to my book Mindful Moments that does that. I really should explore getting that done now.

I know! Lack of trust plays a huge role, I think. For me it's all about the repetition of it. If I can keep something up for a couple of weeks and begin to experience the value in it I can usually keep
