This Science portal will have five main Networks with numerous related hubs: Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Neuroscience.
Science is a systematic discipline that builds and organises knowledge in the form of testable hypotheses and predictions about the world.
Modern science is typically divided into two branches: the natural sciences (e.g., physics, chemistry, and biology), which study the physical world. The formal sciences (e.g., logic, mathematics, and theoretical computer science), which study formal systems governed by axioms and rules, are sometimes described as being sciences as well; however, they are often regarded as a separate field because they rely on deductive reasoning instead of the scientific method or empirical evidence as their main methodology.
Applied sciences are disciplines that use scientific knowledge for practical purposes, such as engineering and medicine. The behavioral sciences (e.g., economics, psychology, and sociology), study individuals and societies.

The Tech portal will have five main educational Hubs: Energy, Agriculture, Buildings, Electronics, and Computers. There are many global challenge Hubs related to the Tech portal under development including AI and AI Policy.
Technology is the application of conceptual knowledge to achieve practical goals, especially in a reproducible way.The word technology can also mean the products resulting from such efforts, including both tangible tools such as utensils or machines, and intangible ones such as software. Technology plays a critical role in science, engineering, and everyday life.
Technological advancements have led to significant changes in society. The earliest known technology is the stone tool, used during prehistory, followed by the control of fire—which in turn contributed to the growth of the human brain and the development of language during the Ice Age, according to the cooking hypothesis. The invention of the wheel in the Bronze Age allowed greater travel and the creation of more complex machines. More recent technological inventions, including the printing press, telephone, and the Internet, have lowered barriers to communication and ushered in the knowledge economy.

The Future onAir Hub facilitates bringing together futurists, organizations, and other people interested in working together to create positive innovations for the future that benefit all humanity… where everyone has the opportunity to succeed and thrive.
This hub focuses on the study of the future and how people and organizations can Learn about and evolve our knowledge about possible future challenges and issues; Discuss and innovative research and solutions; and Co-create with stakeholders to implement solutions.
We organize these challenges around six topics: Nature, Health, Science, Technology, Society, and Nations.

I believe that the Future is better than we tend think, and that #thegoodfuture is perfectly achievable – we ‘just’ need to design it more wisely, and rapidly boost global collaboration. The future is created by optimists – and we should be optimistic not because we have less problems or challenges but because we have more capacity to solve them (hat-tip to @KevinKelly #protopia).
Currently, the future has a terrible reputation – 70% of GenY polled in Europe, believes that their future is dim. There are many reasons for this, including, of course, the pandemic, the Russia/Ukraine war, the rapidly accelerating #climateemergency and the widespread fear of #artificialintelligence and automation. It all seems justified, but then again, we need to consider the fact that almost all major motion pictures released recently are dystopian (and usually end very badly for us humans). Social media amplifies negative news 6–8 times as much as other news. The story of the future must be re-written, and The Good Future must become part of what I call our #futuremindset.
0:00 – Intro
0:50 – Rebranding the future: It could be heaven, or it could be hell
1:21 – I’d like to do a campaign that says, “I love the future”
1:42 – Barbara Hubbard said, “Your mindset contains your future”
2:58 – We need to come together to create a good future
The Democracy Index is an index compiled by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), the research division of the Economist Group, a UK-based private company which publishes the weekly newspaper The Economist. Akin to a Human Development Index but centrally concerned with political institutions and freedoms, the index attempts to measure the state of democracy in 167 countries and territories, of which 166 are sovereign states and 164 are UN member states.
The index is based on 60 indicators grouped in five categories, measuring pluralism, civil liberties and political culture. In addition to a numeric score and a ranking, the index categorizes each country into one of four regime types: full democracies, flawed democracies, hybrid regimes, and authoritarian regimes. The first Democracy Index report was published in 2006. Reports were published every two years until 2010 and annually thereafter.
Freedom in the World is a yearly survey and report by the U.S.-based[2] non-governmental organization Freedom House that measures the degree of civil liberties and political rights in every nation and significant related and disputed territories around the world.
