A record-breaking year - the global economy in 10 charts

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2017/dec/30/a-record-breaking-year-the-global-economy-in-10-charts:

"Probably the financial story of the year. Even though there are fears of a coming crash, 2017 will go down as the year of the cryptocurrency. Bitcoin’s rise has been meteoric, beginning the year valued at about $1,000 and reaching almost $20,000 by the middle of December. There have been wild swings on the way, with the currency losing more than a quarter of its value in a single day this month, before staging a recovery. Economists think bitcoin has all the telltale signs of a bubble, with worrying parallels to the Tulip mania of the 17th century, when the price of bulbs crashed in spectacular fashion after a buying frenzy."

We support The Guardian here. The similiarity to the Tulip mania in the Netherlands is striking and should be a warning. Bitcoin is speculation, not a currency. And the most ironic aspect is the reason for the rise: the traditional finance system (see http://digitalization-lab.blogspot.de/2017/12/why-is-bitcoins-price-so-high.html).

The dentists office is entered by me just looking at a camera. They scan my Iris and have all data already at hand when I come in. I sit down in the chair and don't even have to wait. the appointment was made and the car ordered, so that there was noe queue. Also, Siri checked traffic beforehand to make sure we don't lose any minutes by just waiting somewhere.


To be continued ... Will I need to get 3D printed protesthetics?

Life in a connected world - Part 1

Life in a connected world
By: Carola Wondrak

"It's a great new day!"
Wait, what? Is all that comes to my mind. I have not had a goodnight's sleep and would like to stay on bed. I might as well check my phone for new messages. "It raining outside, take your yellow coat", Siri greets me.
I take my coat and get into my car. It's nice to have driverless cars, they take you to work and you can already get stuff done in the backseat. The car pulls up in front of the dentist's house.
