Hervé Fischer – philosopher, sociologist, and painter of the digital age – has played a major role in shaping much of the critical discourse surrounding digital culture in a global context. One of his most recent works, “Digital Shock: Confronting the New Reality”, presents to the public his own cyber philosophy: a new approach Fischer believes essential in societies hyper dependant on technology. In this video, http://WatchMojo.com sits down to discuss the role of technology with Hervé Fischer, in hopes of unveiling a new awareness surrounding digital-dependent societies and the implications of technology on our lives.

According to a recent study in Israel, your hand writing doesn’t lie.
The scientists stressed that there research is in its early stages, but feel that it could one day be used to help validate loan applications or even insurance claims.
Psychologists have suggested that handwriting changes when someone is lying because the brain has to work harder to invent facts, which then in turn interfere with the normal writing process.
The Canadarm system is one of Canada’s most important contributions to space exploration. Located on the International Space Station, the system is comprised of two separate mechanical arms, each of which performs a separate task. The most recent addition is the Canadarm2, which was designed to aide assembly and maintenance aboard the space station. Astronauts going to the space station require specialized training to use these tools. In this video, WatchMojo.com speaks with Christophe Belzile, a robotic instructor at the Canadian Space Agency, to learn how the Canadarm2 works, and to get a brief primer in how the astronauts are trained to use it.
Science has proven that we women always want what we can’t have.
According to a recent study by Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, women find a man more appealing when they think he is romantically involved with another woman.
The head researchers speculate that “single women may be more drawn to attached men because they’ve already been “pre-screened” by other women and found to be satisfactory as a mate, whereas single men are more of an unknown quantity.”
Guy Laliberté is the founder of Cirque du Soleil, the world-famous circus troupe that renewed a whole industry. In conjunction with his non-profit organization, the ONE DROP Foundation, Laliberté is traveling to space in September 2009 to help promote the idea that everyone in the world should have access to clean and drinkable water. He has had to undergo rigorous training to prepare for his space mission, and his 12 days aboard the International Space Station helping with – and trying not to be a hindrance – on the space mission. In this video, WatchMojo.com learns more about Laliberté’s intensive training.
Financial analysts have looked to the ants for advice and help on ways to reduce airline delays.
According to ScienceDaily.com
“Financial analysts use the concept of swarm intelligence to solve taxiway traffic problems at airports. While ants communicate via pheromones, computer simulations use that concept to allow virtual airplanes to communicate with each other. By following simple rules, they establish novel patterns of action that can increase the efficiency of operations.”

Although modern science has been able to come up with a couple of theories, they can not answer the question to why people bite their nails.
Some theories include that people bite their nails because of stress, another suggests that that the desire to bite nails is an analogue of masturbation.
“Scientists in California say they’re trying to replicate the power of the sun by firing laser beams at a tiny pellet of hydrogen.
Physicists at the National Ignition Facility in Livermore say the nuclear fusion experiments may offer the world a clean source of energy, The Times of London reported Sunday.
The hydrogen pellet will be hit with 192 laser beams capable of generating 500 trillion watts — 1,000 times the power of the U.S. national grid, said the scientists.”
