Useful or dangerous technology, sciences and internet

Hi Muriel,
True that video games have positive effects.
However, video games have to be controled. Facebook relays again articles claiming never to let young children use such devices (game consoles, tablets, etc).

I agree with you Gérard. Video games have positive effects but adults have to be careful with Young children.

There is no stopping scientific advances !

Gérard it is true that Countless lives around the globe could be at risk if hackers attacked medical devices

That is quite shameful !

A lot of lives could be at risk couldn't they ?

Hi every one
After that accident, it is difficult to know if a self-drivng car is Safe. There are more questions than ever about the safety of this technology which is in the experimental stage.

Hi everyone
Video games might be an unhealthy pastime but researchers in Oxford have published a study indicating that, during lockdown, they could actually be good for our mental health: The more hours players spent on screen, the more their overall well-being improved compared to non-players.
