00:00Hey, can you speak up? I just ate an entire pizza!
00:04That's because after eating a hearty meal, our hearing tends to be a bit less sharp.
00:09During digestion, most of our bloodstream is directed toward the stomach,
00:13which takes away a bit from all the other organs.
00:16So, next time you want to go listen to your favorite band at a live concert,
00:20make sure to eat a lighter meal to keep your ears pitch perfect.
00:24On top of our stomach and left kidney,
00:27we have a magical organ that can grow back if we remove a part of it.
00:32Our liver can regenerate itself by making new cells called heptocytes.
00:36They begin to multiply once the liver is damaged.
00:40The seriousness of that damage defines if it can regenerate completely
00:44and the amount of time it takes to do so.
00:48Ever wondered what's worse for your body?
00:50No sleep or no food?
00:52Turns out, the lack of sleep is more dangerous.
00:55That's because if you don't rest, your body becomes exposed to a lot more risks.
01:01After 24 hours without any shut-eye,
01:04you can start to have memory problems and find it difficult to concentrate.
01:08At just 17 hours without sleep, you start to feel tired and groggy,
01:13irritable, tense, and more emotional!
01:16I need a nap.
01:17Your pain receptors also become more sensitive,
01:20which means everything hurts a bit more than it should.
01:23Oh, and it also affects your hearing, too.
01:26What?
01:27On the other hand, you can be well into your 24-hour period with no food
01:32before your body realizes you've stopped eating.
01:35In the first 8 hours, you just keep digesting the last meals you had.
01:39After those first hours, you start to use stored fats for energy.
01:44Not eating for more than 24 hours means that your body will start eating away at its own protein,
01:50which means you literally start to lose muscle.
01:54Rainwater isn't always safe to drink.
01:57It can sometimes hold harmful bacteria and viruses.
02:00Also, in heavily polluted locations, it may even meet other harmful materials.
02:06Some communities out there do depend solely on rainwater as their primary source of hydration.
02:12But does rainwater have any other health benefits?
02:16Not really, according to current studies.
02:18Some of those risky substances may be removed from rainwater if you boil it.
02:23But it's best to stick to the safer side
02:25and only drink water from sources that are 100% safe for human consumption.
02:31Now, we produce sweat mostly to regulate our body temperature
02:35and for some added moisture,
02:37like the one we need in the palms of our hands for a better grip.
02:41But sweat doesn't just show up on our skin.
02:44It comes out of around 5 million pores on our bodies.
02:48We're literally stepping on a quarter of our bones each day.
02:51We have just over 200 bones in our body,
02:54but about a quarter of those are in a very small surprising area – our feet.
02:59Since we have 26 bones in each foot,
03:02we end up with literally 52 in both.
03:06Now, our eyes produce tears for many reasons,
03:09like protecting themselves from infection or clearing up debris,
03:13such as smoke and dust, or when your baby done you wrong.
03:17But the number of tears we produce is quite surprising – up to 30 gallons per year.
03:22That's almost enough to fill a bathtub.
03:24Wow, that is heartbreaking!
03:27Our blood pressure wakes up hours before we do.
03:30That's because, in the morning,
03:32the body produces a bunch of hormones like adrenaline and noradrenaline.
03:36They help give us the energy boost we need during our morning hours,
03:40but they also increase our blood pressure,
03:42which is usually higher between 6 a.m. and noon.
03:46During the night, since we should technically sleep and perform no physical activity,
03:51our blood pressure drops down by up to 20%.
03:55Speaking of our vital fluid,
03:57our blood accounts for about 10% of our total body weight.
04:00We tend to think of our body weight as being mostly made up of muscles, fat stores, and bones.
04:06But there's a lot more to it.
04:08In a fit adult person, bones make up 15% of the total body weight.
04:13About 40-45% is left to muscles,
04:16about 15% to fat deposits,
04:18and the rest are stuff like skin, tendons, hair, and other yucky things.
04:23Let's see.
04:24That adds up to…
04:25Yep, 100%.
04:28Your lungs aren't twins.
04:30They're siblings.
04:31That's because they aren't the same size or shape.
04:34Your right lung is bigger and tends to weigh more,
04:37and your heart is to blame for it,
04:39since your ticker tilts to the left a little bit.
04:42This creates a small indentation in the left lung,
04:45called the cardiac impression,
04:47which is also what funny heart doctors do at comedy clubs.
04:51The right lung may be bigger,
04:53but it's a bit shorter since it needs to make room for the liver.
04:57Doesn't your house have a liver room?
05:00Many of your body measurements are quite symmetrical in surprising ways.
05:04If you were to stretch out both of your arms,
05:07your wingspan, and measure it,
05:09it should show how tall you are.
05:12Based on these similar measurements,
05:14specialists can even produce theories
05:15about what ancient humans used to look like.
05:18Looks like we've evolved to be increasingly symmetrical
05:21to appear more attractive and healthier to attract mates.
05:25Hmm.
05:26More so.
05:27Since we've evolved to also walk on two legs,
05:30our symmetrical features help us to move around
05:32with the least amount of energy,
05:34because it creates balance.
05:36Now, humans aren't natural champions
05:38when it comes to the scent of smell,
05:41that's for sure.
05:42But our noses can pick up about one trillion different scents.
05:46Scientists are still performing research on this subject
05:49and believe the number may be even higher.
05:52Some dog breeds may be able to notice scents
05:55somewhere between 10,000 and 100,000 times better than we do.
05:59But turns out the best nose in the animal kingdom
06:02may be attributed to the elephant
06:04because of its staggering number and type of olfactory receptor genes
06:09over 10,000,
06:10while humans and chimpanzees have less than 400.
06:15We tend to look at our pinkies as our most delicate fingers,
06:19but we do have more power in them than we think.
06:22Turns out that should our pinky finger be lost or affected,
06:26the overall strength of our grip may decrease by up to 33%.
06:33The liquid in our stomach,
06:35made of hydrochloric acid, potassium chloride, and sodium chloride,
06:39is way more powerful than any acidic food you can think of,
06:42like lemons, pineapples, or tomatoes.
06:45The pH of healthy stomach acid should be between 1 and 3.
06:49So if you think about it,
06:51it's just below that of battery acid.
06:55Our hair strands are strong too.
06:57So strong that research has performed on them
07:00to duplicate their resistance into human-made materials.
07:03A healthy head of hair should be able to withstand up to 26,000 pounds.
07:09It's due to a little protein in the hair strand called keratin.
07:12Which you can also find in your nails and skin.
07:16Now, only about one-third of us humans have perfect vision.
07:19There are a lot more glasses and contacts out there than you'd think,
07:23making up about 66%.
07:26Apart from different eye conditions,
07:28our vision also gets worse with age.
07:31When we're born,
07:32our heads amount to one-quarter of our total length.
07:35By the time we reach 25,
07:37our head will only be one-eighth of it.
07:40That's because our heads won't change their size a lot as we grow older,
07:44as opposed to the rest of our body,
07:46mostly when it comes to the legs and torso.
07:49Our brains are these super-powerful computers,
07:52and a single human brain cell can hold five times as much information
07:56as the entire Encyclopedia Britannica.
07:59Maybe you remember that.
08:01We've yet to pinpoint the exact amount of data it can support,
08:05but in electronic terms,
08:07the storage capacity of the brain is around 2,500 terabytes.
08:12For comparison,
08:13the National Archives of Britain,
08:15which keeps over 900 years of history,
08:18only takes up 70 terabytes.
08:20That's probably the reason our brains need the most amount of oxygen
08:24compared to other organs.
08:26About 20% of the total oxygen that enters the bloodstream.
08:30And that's despite the fact
08:32that it makes up only 2% of our body mass.
08:35Our normal activities,
08:37plus the effect of gravity,
08:39make the cartilage in our ankles,
08:41knees, hips, back, and neck
08:43slowly compress.
08:44Once you rest overnight,
08:46the cartilage goes back to normal.
08:48On average,
08:49you are somewhere around 0.4 inches taller in the morning
08:53than you are later at night.
08:55And that's why they call me Stretch.
09:00Now, on average,
09:01Earth's water rises by 1,400ths of an inch each year.
09:05And sometimes I feel like, you know,
09:07getting some floaties.
09:09So, we can't help but wonder,
09:11what if we end up living underwater?
09:14We now have evidence that humans could adapt to that.
09:17The Baiju,
09:18a group of people living in Southeast Asia,
09:21have evolved to have enlarged spleens.
09:23And the spleen is the organ that stores
09:25oxygen-rich red blood cells.
09:28When these cells are released into the bloodstream,
09:30they enable divers to hold their breath underwater
09:32for longer periods of time.
09:35This allows the Baiju people
09:37to free dive to depths up to 230 feet.
09:40To live underwater,
09:42our bodies would have to get bigger
09:43so that we could limit heat loss.
09:45The bigger the animals,
09:46the more heat it produces.
09:48We'd also need to grow webbed fingers and toes
09:51to navigate the deep sea.
09:53Eventually, we wouldn't need to have two legs,
09:56and they'd fuse together.
09:57Our eyes might also get bigger for better vision.
10:01Come to think of it,
10:02we'd end up looking like merpeople.
10:07Scientists have even looked into the possibility
10:09of people being able to fly.
10:11Flying creatures have the right body size
10:14and the right metabolism for that.
10:16We'd need to have the ability to use fuel,
10:18like the food and water we consume,
10:20to produce enough energy
10:22to lift ourselves off the ground.
10:26Birds, for example,
10:27have a very high metabolism.
10:29All processes in their bodies go much faster.
10:32A hummingbird's heart
10:34can beat up to 1,200 times per minute.
10:37A human athlete's heart
10:38can only go as fast as 220 beats per minute.
10:42So, the flight seems almost impossible.
10:45There's no selective pressure on our species
10:47to grow wings and learn to fly.
10:50Plus, to do it,
10:51we'd need to be smaller,
10:53have less dense bones,
10:54and lose most of our muscle mass.
10:57We'd also have to give up on our teeth
10:59to become light enough.
11:00I ain't giving up my teeth.
11:03If our arms became wings,
11:05we wouldn't be able to do
11:06the things we needed our hands for.
11:09We'd just become
11:10clumsier visions of ourselves.
11:12Hmm, I don't have that far to go.
11:14And to grow separate wings,
11:16our skeleton and muscle structure
11:18would need to radically change
11:20over millions of years.
11:22The concept of humans
11:23living on other planets of our solar system
11:26doesn't seem very far-fetched.
11:28Depending on what planet
11:30we'll end up colonizing,
11:31our features will become
11:32a lot different, too.
11:34Our eyes will get larger
11:35if we reach planets
11:36at a bigger distance
11:37from the sun than Earth.
11:39Because if there's less light,
11:41we'll need bigger eyes
11:42to see better.
11:43Our skin might also become
11:45more pigmented
11:46to help with harmful UV radiation
11:48outside of Earth's
11:49protective ozone layer.
11:51We might even get thicker eyelids
11:54and more pronounced brow bones
11:56to deal with the effects
11:57of cosmic rays.
11:58Weirdly enough,
12:00if that wasn't weird enough,
12:01we might evolve to blink sideways
12:03to better protect our eyes
12:05from cosmic debris
12:06coming from all directions,
12:08since, most likely,
12:09gravity on other planets
12:11will be weaker than on Earth.
12:13Living on other planets
12:14might also mean
12:15bigger nostrils.
12:16We'll need those
12:17to breathe more easily,
12:19since oxygen may be scarce
12:20in new worlds.
12:22We might get thicker and denser hair
12:24to protect our heads
12:25from potential radiation.
12:27On Mars, for example,
12:29there's, on average,
12:3140 to 50 times more radiation
12:33than on Earth.
12:35We will still be able
12:36to use a lot of technology,
12:38but instead of smartwatches
12:39and glasses,
12:40we'll have smaller
12:41and more subtle gadgets.
12:43Things like communication
12:45contact lenses
12:46might appear quite soon.
12:48Instead of headphones,
12:49we might use
12:50miniature bone conduction devices
12:52implanted above the ear.
12:55Scientists don't know for sure
12:56what people will look like
12:58a thousand years from now,
12:59but they can predict it
13:00based on previous patterns
13:02of evolution.
13:03In the Middle Ages,
13:04people had an average
13:05life expectancy
13:06of 35 years.
13:08That means they had
13:09to work really hard
13:10and produce offspring
13:11very early in their lives.
13:13These days,
13:14life expectancy
13:15has more than doubled.
13:17More and more people
13:18live to be 100
13:19or even 110 years old.
13:21We can easily assume
13:23we'll end up living
13:24longer than that.
13:25Now, how about our size?
13:27All animals have evolved
13:29to grow larger over time.
13:31We've seen it in dinosaurs,
13:32whales, horses,
13:34and in people, too.
13:35Our ancestors
13:36from 4 million years ago
13:38were small,
13:39barely reaching
13:394 to 5 feet tall.
13:41Most likely,
13:43we continue to gain height
13:44mostly because
13:45we have better nutrition.
13:47But also,
13:48because our genes
13:49seem to be evolving, too,
13:51as people who are
13:52above average in height
13:53tend to have
13:54more adventurous
13:55or useful genes
13:56based on some studies.
13:59But as we grow taller,
14:01we've also become
14:02more fragile.
14:03Over the past
14:042 million years,
14:05our skeletons
14:06have become lighter.
14:07We've started to use
14:09more tools
14:09for our day-to-day activities.
14:12People have also
14:13become less active
14:14ever since farming
14:15was invented.
14:16So our bones
14:17are now less dense.
14:19And because,
14:20these days,
14:21we spend a lot of time
14:22at our desks,
14:23our bone structure
14:24might change altogether
14:25and alter our postures.
14:29Yet,
14:30the taller body trend
14:31can't go on forever.
14:32Size cannot increase
14:34beyond a certain limit.
14:35That's because
14:36the pressure
14:37on the tissues
14:37of very large bodies
14:39is different
14:39from the pressure
14:40on bodies
14:41of medium size.
14:42If our bodies
14:43continue to grow larger,
14:45our shape
14:46will need to change too.
14:47We're also likely
14:49to see dramatic changes
14:50in our minds
14:51and personalities.
14:52The past 6 million years
14:54have roughly
14:54tripled our brain size.
14:56You might think
14:57this trend
14:58will continue,
14:59but it probably won't.
15:00Surprisingly,
15:01our brains
15:02are getting smaller.
15:04Research shows
15:05that the size
15:06of the human brain
15:06peaked about
15:0720,000 years ago,
15:09just before
15:10the invention
15:10of farming.
15:11Then the brain
15:12started to decrease,
15:14and we're not
15:14really sure why.
15:16One explanation
15:17is that fat
15:18and proteins
15:19were hard to find
15:20once people
15:21started farming
15:21and eating
15:22more vegetables.
15:23It made it
15:24more difficult
15:25to grow
15:25and maintain
15:26large brains.
15:27Our brains
15:28also need
15:29a lot of energy.
15:30They take up
15:31around 20%
15:32of our daily
15:33energy use.
15:34Our personalities
15:35are continuing
15:36to evolve too.
15:37We don't need
15:38to be as aggressive
15:39as ancient hunters
15:40and gatherers.
15:41Our social interactions
15:43are also different.
15:44Back in the day,
15:46people couldn't travel
15:47far or communicate
15:48over long distances
15:49efficiently.
15:50So the close
15:51relationships they had
15:52were members
15:53of their own
15:53local group
15:54or tribe.
15:55Now,
15:56we can travel
15:56all over the world,
15:58speak on the phone,
15:59chat on our laptops,
16:01switch jobs
16:01as often as we need to,
16:03and even date
16:04people online.
16:05It pushed us
16:06to be more outgoing,
16:08open,
16:08and tolerant.
16:10It also made us
16:11more adaptable
16:12to different cultures
16:13from around the world.
16:14There used to be
16:15nine human species
16:17roaming Earth
16:17about 300,000 years ago.
16:20The other eight species
16:21probably went extinct
16:22due to climate changes.
16:24It may just be us
16:26for now,
16:26but who's to say
16:27there won't be
16:28a new human species?
16:30But since we're not
16:31separated by physical
16:32distance anymore,
16:34that's unlikely.
16:34To have different species,
16:37people need to evolve
16:38in isolated groups.
16:40Genetics call
16:41the phenomenon
16:42occurring now
16:42the grand averaging.
16:44We're becoming
16:45more and more alike
16:46as generations go by.
16:48The world population
16:49is mixed.
16:50People no longer
16:52reproduce
16:52just within their location.
16:54If enough time
16:55goes by,
16:56the human race
16:57will start to look
16:57homogenous.
16:58We'll all become
16:59the average
17:00of different physical
17:01appearances we see today.
17:03We used to have
17:04bigger jaws
17:05so that we could
17:06better chew
17:06unprocessed food.
17:08These days,
17:09we have smaller jaws
17:10and less room
17:11for all 32 teeth.
17:12That's why we often
17:14have those pesky
17:15wisdom teeth removed.
17:17Scientists say
17:18the number of teeth
17:18we have won't change.
17:20But if we continue
17:21to change our eating habits,
17:23switching to even
17:24softer food,
17:25our jaws will become
17:26smaller
17:27and our teeth
17:28even more crowded.
17:29So I say,
17:30let's break out
17:31the peanut brittle.
17:33Are our thumbs
17:34becoming larger?
17:35Some data suggests
17:36some teenagers
17:37have overdeveloped thumbs.
17:39That's because
17:40they play too many
17:41video games.
17:42Their thumb muscles
17:43have adapted
17:44because they've been
17:45used a lot.
17:46But this is not
17:47a genetic trait.
17:49One person may have
17:50a larger thumb,
17:51but they won't pass it
17:52on to future generations.
17:54You know,
17:54someday,
17:55well into the future,
17:56we might be
17:57all thumbs.
17:58Hey,
17:59I'm there already.
18:00Look at these two pictures.
18:02Can you spot the difference?
18:04Yup,
18:04one pinky looks a bit off
18:06and it's all because
18:07of something you
18:08carry with you
18:08all day.
18:09If your pinky
18:10looks like this,
18:11then you're in danger.
18:13Nah,
18:13I'm just kidding.
18:14This happens
18:15when you're holding
18:16your smartphone
18:17in such a position
18:17that the weight
18:18on your pinky
18:19makes it look weird.
18:20There's nothing
18:21particularly wrong
18:22with that
18:23except the way
18:24it looks after.
18:25According to experts,
18:26holding an object
18:27in a one-hand claw grip
18:29isn't a natural position
18:30that our hands
18:31are used to.
18:32But luckily,
18:33the mark isn't
18:34going to stay forever.
18:35There just isn't
18:36enough force
18:37to permanently
18:37make your pinky
18:38look like that.
18:39Just think of it
18:40as a mark on your face
18:42when you wear glasses
18:43all day
18:43or if you're wearing
18:44a watch on your wrist.
18:46Another thing
18:47you should look out for
18:48is texting thumb.
18:50Yeah,
18:51it's just what
18:51it sounds like.
18:52Your thumb
18:53experiences some soreness
18:54after texting
18:55for too long.
18:56This phenomenon
18:57has actually been around
18:58since the 80s
18:59but was known
19:00as gaming thumb.
19:02There was a looming fear
19:03that kids who play
19:04too many video games
19:05would have sore thumbs
19:07and this developed
19:08into the 2000s
19:09when texting
19:10became popular.
19:12Hey,
19:12remember back
19:13when if you said
19:14somebody was all thumbs
19:15it meant they were clumsy?
19:16Maybe now it means
19:18they're a super fast texter.
19:19There's also a condition
19:21called trigger finger
19:22when your finger
19:23gets stuck in one place
19:24after texting
19:25for too long.
19:26Sore wrists and hands
19:27are also something
19:28to look out for.
19:30Almost nothing
19:30can permanently affect you
19:32but it's just a sign
19:33that you're probably
19:34using your smartphone
19:35longer than you should.
19:37In the past 10 years or so,
19:39phones have become
19:40more and more involved
19:41and necessary
19:42in our daily lives.
19:43Anyone who still uses
19:45an old phone
19:46with buttons
19:46or a flip phone
19:47will definitely get
19:48some weird looks
19:49from people.
19:50Unless, of course,
19:51you're using
19:52a smart flip phone
19:53in which case
19:54people will stare at you
19:55with curiosity.
19:56Your smartphone
19:57is probably the first thing
19:59you grab in the morning.
20:00Don't lie.
20:01It's probably because
20:02your alarm for the morning
20:03is on your phone.
20:05Apart from smartphone pinky
20:07and other stuff
20:08that can physically affect
20:09our hands and wrists,
20:10there is a dark side
20:11to these amazing devices.
20:13Studies show
20:14that checking your phones
20:15right before bed
20:16can affect your productivity
20:18the following day.
20:19It can affect
20:20your sleeping habits
20:21since you're too involved
20:22with browsing
20:23your friend's feed
20:24while they're on vacation
20:25or just watching
20:26a cool bright side video
20:28on YouTube.
20:29Disclaimer,
20:30we're not responsible
20:31for keeping you up at night.
20:32It's just that we often
20:34don't check the clock
20:35before realizing
20:36it's way past our bedtime.
20:38Before smartphones,
20:39there were computers.
20:40I mean,
20:41computers are still around today.
20:42But I mean,
20:43getting any sort of information
20:45required you to go
20:46to the nearest desktop,
20:47boot up your modem,
20:48I'm dating myself here,
20:50go online
20:51and search for
20:52whatever it is you need.
20:53And if you didn't
20:54own a desktop,
20:56then it was just
20:56a bus ride away
20:57to the library
20:58or your friend's house.
21:00The common element here
21:01is that you had to
21:02physically get up
21:03and go to a destination
21:04to acquire information.
21:06These days,
21:07we sometimes
21:08don't even feel
21:09like getting up
21:10to charge our smartphones.
21:11The internet
21:12is literally
21:13in the palm of your hands,
21:14so any information
21:16you need
21:16is just a few taps away.
21:18It's almost impossible
21:20not to have
21:21your information online.
21:22Whether you have
21:23Instagram,
21:24TikTok,
21:24Facebook,
21:25or anything else,
21:26your information
21:27is out there
21:28for anyone to grab.
21:29We don't realize
21:30that the longer
21:31we stay on our phones,
21:32the more personal info
21:34we share.
21:35Most of the time,
21:36your GPS is on,
21:37which means
21:38the apps you're using
21:39know your location.
21:41Any information
21:42you put on Google
21:43is automatically
21:44creating a sort of folder
21:46where your profile exists.
21:48Once it's created,
21:49they can show you ads
21:50related to the things
21:51you're viewing.
21:52E-commerce websites
21:53also have a sneaky method
21:55of tracking your device
21:57and creating a profile
21:58even if you don't
21:59buy anything.
22:00If you click
22:01on a new pair of shoes
22:02and then search for books,
22:04they will continue
22:05sending you
22:06pop-up ads of shoes.
22:07And don't be tricked
22:09by cloaking yourself
22:10in incognito mode.
22:12This will only hide
22:13your history
22:13from the browser
22:14you're using.
22:15Yup,
22:16internet service providers,
22:17websites,
22:18and apps
22:19can still know
22:20what you're doing.
22:21Have you ever wondered
22:22why your smartphone
22:23is listening to you?
22:25You're sitting
22:25and talking to your friends
22:27about something
22:27and when you go home,
22:29you see an ad
22:30on the very thing
22:31you were talking about.
22:32Sound familiar?
22:33Well,
22:34for one thing,
22:35it's not because
22:36your microphone is on
22:37and taking notes
22:38of what you're saying.
22:39Since your GPS
22:40is active,
22:41websites and apps
22:43know that you're
22:43physically sitting
22:44with people
22:45who might be interested
22:46in something you're not.
22:47For instance,
22:49you might be talking
22:49about joining a gym
22:51with your friends.
22:52You may not have
22:53even searched
22:54for anything related
22:55to fitness on your phone,
22:56but your friend
22:57happens to be a gym buff.
22:59All of your phones
23:00have active GPS working
23:02and know that you're
23:03sitting in the same location.
23:04So,
23:05it will show you ads
23:06that are from
23:07your friend's profile.
23:08It also helps
23:10if your friends
23:10on Facebook
23:11or are following
23:12each other
23:12on TikTok
23:13or Instagram.
23:15It's not like
23:16they know
23:16what you're doing
23:17every second
23:18outside your social media life.
23:20They won't know
23:21that you're eating
23:21a pepperoni pizza
23:22while browsing the web
23:23for your new vacation spots.
23:25One of the best ways
23:27to avoid trackers
23:28from getting your information
23:29is to use
23:30a dummy email address
23:32where you can register
23:33or subscribe
23:34to certain accounts.
23:35Most platforms
23:36or websites
23:37require a basic email address
23:39for establishing communication.
23:41But others
23:42will ask you
23:43for your phone number,
23:44home address,
23:44date of birth.
23:45Yeah,
23:46you get the picture.
23:47And while you're at it,
23:48you can use
23:49two separate browsers
23:50for different
23:51internet activities.
23:52It also helps
23:54to frequently clear
23:55your browsing history,
23:56cache,
23:57and cookies.
23:58Cookies are delicious.
24:00They're also
24:00little pieces of data
24:01that are saved
24:02on your browser
24:03after entering a website.
24:05Once the website
24:06you've entered
24:07realizes
24:07that you're frequently
24:08enabling the same settings
24:10like language preference,
24:12saving your email,
24:13and other navigations,
24:14it'll save it
24:15so that the next time
24:17you enter the website
24:18it will present it
24:19just as you like it.
24:21Cookies aren't
24:22necessarily a bad thing,
24:23but the cookies
24:24on search engines
24:25like Google
24:26will allow tracking cookies
24:27that take some of your info
24:29and put it in that folder
24:30for their profile.
24:32There's a lot more
24:33you can do
24:33with your smartphone
24:34than you realize.
24:35Did you lose
24:36your TV remotes?
24:37No problem.
24:39If you own
24:39an Android phone,
24:41then you can download
24:42an app
24:42that can turn
24:43your smartphone
24:44into a universal remote.
24:46This also works
24:47for air conditioning
24:47and anything
24:48with infrared.
24:49Our smartphones
24:50have built-in infrared
24:52so they can easily
24:53act as a universal remote.
24:55We don't realize
24:56that we're carrying
24:57many computers
24:58in our pockets.
24:59Imagine,
25:00just more than
25:0110 years ago,
25:02a telephone,
25:03a calculator,
25:04a GPS,
25:05a computer,
25:06a CD player,
25:07a wallet,
25:08and anything
25:08you can carry
25:09in a backpack
25:10are all mashed up
25:11together
25:12in a single device
25:13that fits in your hand.
25:15Some flagship Samsung models
25:17allow you to connect
25:18your phone to a monitor
25:19and use it
25:20like a Windows desktop.
25:22All you have to do
25:23is tap on Dex mode
25:24while it's hooked up
25:25to a monitor
25:26and done.
25:27You can link
25:28a Bluetooth mouse
25:29and keyboard
25:29and get to work.
25:30Many apps
25:31function properly
25:32and, in some cases,
25:34even replace
25:35your desktop
25:36altogether.
25:37According to experts,
25:38smartphones in 2030
25:40and onward
25:41might not even
25:42have any ports
25:43or buttons.
25:44It'll just be
25:44a thin block
25:45with a screen.
25:46Phones are already
25:48eliminating
25:48the headphone jack
25:49and introducing
25:50wireless charging.
25:52But no ports
25:53mean the smartphone
25:54could be
25:55100% water-resistant.
25:57The main game-changer
25:58in smartphones
25:59is the use
26:00of artificial intelligence
26:02or AI.
26:03Hey, I've used
26:04artificial intelligence
26:05for years!
26:06Still hoping
26:07for the real thing.
26:08We're no strangers
26:09to AI technology
26:11as it's currently used
26:12in Google and Amazon.
26:14But by then,
26:15it'll be much more
26:16advanced and complex.
26:18The AI voice
26:19can be so human-like
26:20that it feels like
26:21you're talking
26:22to a real person.
26:23That AI voice
26:24will learn proper
26:25human speech patterns
26:26so it does
26:27not sound
26:28like this.
26:29There's one thing
26:30for certain,
26:31smartphones aren't going
26:32anywhere anytime soon.
