Questions for Future
Did you ask ChatGPT? — Yes. What did it say? — It talked about my grandmother, then told me how smart I am and said it had never seen such a brilliant question in its life. Did it solve the problem? — It did, but apparently there were a lot of things we had not…

God of Gods
Be silent, mortals! Did you think your fire would keep you warm, that your spears would protect you? Be silent and listen! Can you hear the sound of the wind? Be silent and kneel! When I breathe, forests bend, your fires go out, your prey flees. When I breathe, valleys carry my voice and rivers…

the New World: A Shift in Humanity
“Kids these days are just too sensitive. Back in our day…” Whenever I hear a sentence starting like that, I run away as fast as I can. By the way, this is an international phenomenon. Apparently, people used to work incredibly hard and never complain. The new generation, on the other hand, immediately starts talking…

End of Life
Scientists divide possible end-of-the-world scenarios into two categories: natural causes and human-made causes. Who even researches this stuff, by the way? I wish we were that kind of scientist. Devoting our lives to speculation. Neither wars would bother us, nor the economy. I wonder if it makes you paranoid? Throughout human history, apocalypse scenarios usually…

I am finally finishing the series on disruptive technologies. Although the word “disruptive” may sound negative, I mentioned that its meaning is actually “things that fundamentally change our lives.” In most of the previous examples, I talked about how these technologies carry many ethical issues alongside their benefits.

Why I Bought Apple Products Despite Dislike
For years, my ongoing dislike of Apple ended because of two discounts. I first bought an iPhone 11 in 2020 or 2021. This year, I bought a MacBook Air for the first time. The reason was a discount offer so shamelessly good that I couldn’t refuse it — and iOS. My opinions about Apple haven’t…

Disruptive Technologies-4: Military Technologies
No healthy person wants to kill. At their core, people are not inclined to kill or to engage in violent conflict. When you look at diaries and notes from the world’s bloodiest wars, you see the same thing. No matter how motivated they were, in the end they say that war is not a good…

Türkce icin tıklayın: https://bahadirhancicek.com/2024/10/04/yikici-teknolojiler-nedir-ne-degildir/ I often complain about the constant flow of information in our era, unconscious social media usage, and the effects social media has on perception. This time, I want to open up this topic a bit more: how all of this is evaluated from a technological perspective, what kinds of problems await…

Exploring the Impact of Meta Quest 3 on VR Technology
Last week, I added another unnecessary electronic purchase to my collection—I bought a Meta Quest 3. I’ve been talking about disruptive technologies lately, and I think VR is absolutely one of those technologies that will completely change our lives and our perspective on the world.

Understanding Modern Phone Habits: A Cultural Perspective
Do you remember rotary phones? We used to look up the number in the phonebook or enter it from memory. We lined up a series of digits one after another. The phone was fixed. If you didn’t catch it, you had no idea who was calling. Sometimes we ran to pick it up, sometimes we…
