Meet The App That Revolutionized Book Reading For 2 Million People (Page no 3)

4. Real People


Do you wish that you had a super smart friend who’d share the fascinating things they read about with you? Now you do! We come from 21 countries and have a collection of degrees and experience that runs the gamut from former hadron collider operator to literature professor to museum docent to mathematician. We’re people who care deeply about learning and getting to the bottom of the big ideas that matter—in every subject. We read every book ourselves, we write every book-in-blinks, we edit and record every single pack of key insights. We’re people—not bots—and we like to think that this shows in the care we put into our work and how much our community trusts us. It takes a minimum of 7 people to make a book-in-blinks, which means you never have to question its quality, or whether it’s been carefully vetted.

5. The Innovation

 Blinkist makes it possible to discover new thinkers and ideas that matter, keep learning every day, and take some of the pressure off your quest to be an informed citizen and a better you. As the world gets faster and faster, we’ll keep on making it easy and enjoyable to fit reading and learning back into every single day. We’ll go where the best ideas are—whether that’s books, articles, podcasts, or other media—and bring them to you. You can count on it. Download the Blinkist app today and join our community of 2m modern learners.

But this week I’ve been pondering something much more immediate, and in my view, more likely. What will happen when humans decide to become robots? "We’re at a key transition in human history,” says Prof Hugh Herr, who heads the  Biomechatronics Group at the famed Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He says the group’s aim is to establish the scientific and technological conditions that will eventually eliminate disability, whether through paralysis or amputation. But when that incredible goal has been achieved, then what? "We’re fusing the nervous system with the built world,” he says. "We’re transitioning from a relationship where we use technology that is separate from our nervous system, to a new epoch of integration, of human physiology." Simulating ankles Prof Her...

As downloaded music fades away, Apple axes iPod

Touch became the last iPod standing on Thursday as Apple removed nano and shuffle stand-alone digital music players from its lineup. Late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs introduced the devices some 12 years ago with his legendary showmanship flare, and the small, easy to operate players helped the company revolutionize how music was sold.
