Story
How many times have we looked for something and found something else? A partner, a job, an object? The same thing often happens to scientists: they design an experiment and discover the unexpected, which usually turns out to be very important. This fascinating phenomenon is called serendipity, which takes its name from the mythical Serendip, a place from which, according to a Persian fable, three princes set off to explore the world, making chance discoveries along the way.

Story
Los prestigiosos economistas Daron Acemoglu y Simon Johnson demuestran que el desarrollo técnico es indispensable para el avance de la democracia. El progreso no es un destino predeterminado, sino que depende de las elecciones que hagamos sobre la tecnología. Esta reflexión resulta muy pertinente en un mundo donde los avances digitales y la robótica amenazan a nuestros empleos y a nuestras democracias a través de la automatización excesiva, la recopilación masiva de datos y la vigilancia intrusiva.

Story
La gran historia que transcurre entre la llegada del ordenador personal y la irrupción de la inteligencia artificial. A las puertas de un mundo dominado por la inteligencia artificial y las gafas de "realidad extendida", cabe preguntarse dónde empezó todo, cómo pasamos del pequeño garaje de Palo Alto en el que Hewlett y Packard revolucionaron la informática a un presente dirigido por los chips.

Story
Margot Rot nos invita a reflexionar sobre la relación que hay entre las experiencias emocionales a través de las pantallas y la creación de nuestras identidades. ¿Qué son nuestras emociones sino la expresión múltiple de aquello que deseamos, o de aquello que no deseamos? ¿Qué es el deseo sino el ímpetu a través del cual se erige una identidad? La virtualidad ha modificado nuestro modo de percibir el tiempo y el espacio y, por ende, nuestro modo de percibir la realidad.
