The Communities Foundation of Texas and Toyota USA Foundation co-hosted the forum, which stressed the urgency of building a strong education system with a focus on STEM.

Technology is fast changing how people with disabilities get to and then navigate airports and train and bus stations. But technology can go only so far: Its advantages usually stop at the door of the plane, train or bus.

Television has a few trappings we don't usually think too much about.
Viewers can see things on screen from the angle the camera offers, but no other. Sure, camera technology has improved and more lenses are incorporated into everything from films to sporting events, and it seems like the vantage point from our couch is improving. In actuality, though, it's a subtle step at best.

Up to eight years can pass before mangoes mature from seeds in the ground to fruit-bearing trees. Once picked, the fruit is shipped off to packing houses, where they are cleaned before being sent off again to their final destination, at home or abroad. The fruit then undergoes another round of cleaning before being packaged and sent off to distribution centers, to grocery stores and finally into customers' homes. Yet tracing the path of such fruit from farm to dining table is still challenging, says Frank Yiannas, a vice president in charge of food safety for Walmart.

The Supreme Court decided recently that before the government can get your cellphone location records — well, at least more than six days' worth of them — it must have probable cause to think you did something wrong, and a warrant.
That's important, because your cellphone is a mini-GPS device broadcasting your location constantly.

The people who called into the help hotlines and domestic violence shelters said they felt as if they were going crazy.
One woman had turned on her air-conditioner, but said it then switched off without her touching it. Another said the code numbers of the digital lock at her front door changed every day and she could not figure out why. Still another told an abuse help line that she kept hearing the doorbell ring, but no one was there. Their stories are part of a new pattern of behavior in domestic abuse cases tied to the rise of smart home technology.

In a well-known parable, a group of blind men encounters an elephant. Each man touches a different part of the elephant and receives very different tactile feedback. Their later descriptions of the elephant to each other disagree, though each individual's description is accurate and captures one portion of the elephant: a tusk, a leg, an ear. Humans often have only partial information and struggle to understand the feelings and observations of others about the same problem or situation, even though those feelings and observations may be absolutely accurate and valid in that person's context. Our relationships with technology are similar: Each of us relates to technology in a unique, highly personal way.

They're called smart roads: highways studded with sensors that monitor wear and tear and "feel" vehicles like fingers on a touchpad, and that are connected to the internet to alert motorists to traffic jams and automatically summon help when accidents occur.

If you were to pick the one, singular, culture-defining moment from the '90s — a decade that gave us so many — you'd be hard pressed to beat Bill Clinton–Monica Lewinsky affair. Even now, in our current climate of oversharing and punch-drunk numbness to the spewing of digital media, the Lewinsky affair still seems incredible in the excruciating level of its detail. That that detail should eventually bring down a president was an unprecedented moment in American politics. There has been endless analysis of how it all happened, but essentially, you can blame it on technology.
