So we are on month 3 of COVID19 here in Asia. We have had some time to figure out how to keep ourselves from going stir crazy. Playing some boardgames with the kids is a better alternative to youtube or xbox all day long.
I know that being stuck in side can be challenging. Going outside with your kids may not be a possibility if you live in a high density population area. So what do you do with your kids when they are stuck at home, getting stressed out or spending too much time online? Answer: Spend time with them.
Scholastic, the company that is known for educational fun books for kids, said that there many benefits for playing games as a family. If you bring out board games, the kid turn off the screen. You can have special time with your kids and allowing you to teach them about teamwork, patience, and how to win and lose gracefully. Board games can help benefit kidsâ brains and language development.
Board games offer math skills like probability⊠but donât tell them that.
They boost their language skills as they read cards and ask what words mean.
They sharpen your childâs focus by getting them interested in reading rules, looking at the play board and figuring out how to win.
They teach the value of teamwork. All for yourself doesnât work very often in games. Kids learn that if they play dirty, other people adjust their strategy, and usually form alliances to counter a cutthroat player.
Strategy games are useful developing thinking skills. Working through problems, adjusting strategy to account for twists and turns is helpful.
Take your mind off things and easy anxiety. Looking at the news full time isnât healthy. Especially kids donât need to be exposed to all of the serious problems outside. Let them focus at home with you.
Show kids how to be a good loser (and winner). Winning is great. Playing in a way that everyone has fun is better. Kids will learn that is okay to fail in a game, because they can always play again and do better next time.
Unplug. Unplug. Unplug. To much screen time isnât good for anyone. Let the eyes have a rest and let your and your kids brain unwind.
Set an example. Put down the phone and have a conversation with your kids. They will talk with you so much more when playing a game.
Here are a few games that we played during our first 3 months of being at home.
Xenobots, which were first brought to life back in January, canât reproduce. Instead, computer scientists program them in a virtual environment and then 3D print their creations out of embryonic cells.
âWe are witnessing almost the birth of a new discipline of synthetic organisms,â Columbia University roboticist Hod Lipson, who was not part of the research team, told the NYT. âI donât know if thatâs robotics, or zoology or something else.â
Given the rapid development of virtual reality technology, we may very well be moving toward a time when weâre able to manage the brainâs memories.
Could we develop a similar capability? That may depend heavily upon a handful of ambitious attempts at brain-computer interfacing. But science is moving in baby steps with other tactics in both laboratory animals and humans.
Think weâre far off from The Matrix? Gabe Newell says you should think again.
In a rare interview with IGN ahead of next weekâs release of Half-Life: Alyx, Newell reasoned that more advanced forms of VR might not be too far out. âWeâre way closer to The Matrix than people realize,â he stated. âItâs not going to be âThe Matrixâ, The Matrix is a movie and it misses all the interesting technical subtleties and just how weird the post-brain-computer interface world is going to be. But itâs going to have a huge impact on the kinds of experiences that we can create for people.â
Hi all! I hope youâre doing well and staying healthy! As a hobby, I have begun a futurist YouTube channel. I have just uploaded a video on why I personally believe that there may be an exodus to virtual reality in the future. Please take a look at it and subscribe and like it if you enjoyed the video!
Virtual reality is oftentimes the ultimate promise of science-fiction. Leaving behind the boring real-world for an exciting world that operates outside the bounds of reality is something that is promised to us by sci-fi. But does that mean that a large number of people would be willing to do that forever? Hereâs why I believe they would.
Brain-computer interface (BCI) is a technology that agree to communicate between a human-brain with an external technology. The term can be referred to an interface that takes signals from the brain to an external piece of hardware that sends signals to the brain. There are different brain-computer interface technologies developed, through different methods and for diversified purposes, including in virtual reality technology.
In Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotlerâs new book, The Future Is Faster Than You Think, the futurist and science writer talk about converge and how a host of technologies, including VR, quantum computing, and A.I., are speeding up development of flying cars and changing new and old industries.
The coauthors of the seminal book The Virtual Corporation describe how the rise of artificial intelligence and virtual environments are ushering in an epic cultural transformationâand how we can thrive in this new era.
