If you still write things down on paper instead of your phone, psychology says you display these 8 unique traits

There is an oddly revealing moment in modern life: someone needs to remember something, reaches past the phone already in their hand, and looks for a pen. Maybe it is a shopping list. Maybe it is the three things that have to happen tomorrow. Maybe it is an idea that will disappear if it is ... Read more Read more

A TED talk watched tens of millions of times promised that standing like a superhero for two minutes would lift your testosterone and your nerve — yet larger studies found no such hormone effect, and the study’s own lead author walked it back

Stand like a superhero for two minutes before a job interview, and your body chemistry shifts to make you braver. That was the promise of one of the most-watched talks in TED’s history. The trouble is that the claim about your hormones did not hold up, and the scientist who first reported it later said ... Read more Read more

Psychology says people who keep a paper calendar beside their phone aren’t resisting technology—they trust the version of time they can see all at once more than the version that disappears behind a screen

There is a particular kind of desk that looks as if it belongs to two eras at once. A smartphone handles messages, maps, calls and appointments. Beside it sits a paper calendar, open to the whole month, with crossings-out, arrows and small blocks of handwriting. The easy interpretation is that its owner has failed to ... Read more Read more

Singapore had no natural resources, no fresh water and no land to spare when it was expelled from Malaysia in 1965, and within a single lifetime it became one of the richest nations on Earth

Singapore became an independent country on 9 August 1965 after a brief and bitter union with Malaysia. It entered that day with no hinterland, no industrial base, no significant natural resources and a water supply that depended heavily on agreements with the country it had just left. “Expelled” is a fair description of the political ...

Adults who prefer physical books aren’t necessarily romanticizing the past—they’re protecting a form of attention in which the device cannot interrupt the experience it was chosen to provide

A physical book makes a narrow promise. Open it and there will be the book. No messages will arrive in the margin. No application will ask to be updated. No alert will appear over the final sentence of a chapter. For adults who continue to choose print, that limitation can be the point. The preference ... Read more Read more

Astronauts can return to Earth up to 5 cm taller — then gravity compresses their spines again as weakened back muscles take on a load they have spent months without
