    Will The Metaverse Destroy Meta?

    We're a year into the metamorphosis of Facebook into Meta, and by all indications it seems the transition is putting significant pressure on the company. Meta's share price has dropped by around 70% since the rebrand and user adoption is slow. So how long can Meta continue spending on the Metaverse before investors force it to refocus on its core business?

    Video Game Movies

    Game-to-film adaptations have a reputation for not living up to the expectations of fans. But despite this, they keep getting made, and it seems the frequency of these productions is increasing. So why does Hollywood keep returning to video game properties and can the newest generation of adaptations finally overcome that awful reputation?

    Space Ambitions

    Space is becoming more and more commercial. NASA is focused on outsourcing key parts of the Artemis missions to external companies, and there's big money on the line for those lucky enough to secure contracts.

    When Self-driving Cars Crash, Who’s Responsible?

    Autonomous vehicles could revolutionise the automotive and transport sectors. They promise a future where you can hail a driverless taxi, or sit back and relax while your own car drives itself to a destination. While level five autonomous vehicles are still years away, one of the questions facing regulators is who holds responsibility if one of these vehicles has a crash?

    Privacy: Priceless

    Facial recognition is now in use across many apps and devices. For example, many of us use Face ID to unlock an iPhone or to gain access to other apps. But there are more concerning uses of the tech, particularly in public settings. One of the latest applications comes from Mastercard, that is trialling a program allowing retailers to accept biometric data to confirm a payment from a customer.
