THE GRIP OF DIGITAL ADDICTION – By Nisal Rukshan From the dawn of civilization, humans have developed various technologies to adapt to different situations. The modus of operandi changes with exposure, innovating new types of technology. It has kept on changing with time to serve a specific purpose. From the Stone Age to the present day, the technology is evolving constantly; it will persist until the end of the world. In modern days, this technology is defined as the application of scientific knowledge to the practical aims of human life or, as it is sometimes phrased, as the alteration of the human environment to achieve certain changes and manipulations. The face of digitalization, which involves adapting systems and processes to maximize the use of computers and the internet, has changed the concept of digitization, making it more effective and efficient.

Economy, Psychology, Politics and Us – By Nisal Rukshan The Economy of a country has a profound impact on the effective functioning of all other sectors. To measure the economic perspectives, many standardized factors such as Gross Domestic Product (GDP) – the total gross value added by all domestic producers in the economy, Gross National Income – per capita (GNI), Exports and imports of goods and services, have to be considered. In psychology, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are considered to provide a better understanding of human activities. These human activities vary according to social, economic, political, and scientific factors. The behavioural economics reveals how human behaviours are consistent with economic perspectives. It further explains beyond the neo-classical definitions of rational or optimal decision-making. By deriving the foundations of questioning and through researching on these fields, behavioural economists further elaborate that “people as human beings who are subject to emotion and ...

Are We Ready to Inject AI to Our Economy? – By Nisal Ruksha A hustle-bustle lifestyle with various types of role-play makes humans busy and stressed. As solutions, human intelligence brings some answers. Man-made apparatus and tools are now available in every sector to simplify the activities from womb to tomb in the life cycle; technologically improvised devices surround us everywhere.

Decision-making, the ability to reason, analyze or generalize previous experiences, and intellectual processes are now within AI’s robot capabilities, controlled by a digital computer or computer-controlled robot. (But it is noteworthy that its capabilities are remain different from human intelligence and limited to specific domains and tasks.)

Brain Draining Pearl – By Nisal Rukshan A state’s economy can significantly influence its population. The economic stability of a country relies on salient factors including, labour, taxation, human resources, income distribution, political status, policies & strategies of the government, education system, usage of technology, the contribution of the state sector and private sector, the trade balance (the difference in country’s imports and exports of goods and services), unemployment, infrastructure, wages, inflation etc. However, in times of economic upheaval or political instability, a country’s development growth can be hindered and such a situation can lead to unrest among citizens. Waves of the depressed population will strive to seek remedies or ask for solutions from authorities to overcome financial difficulties. When such efforts have become futile, the road to struggle will automatically open up. That results in a high rate of brain drain aka substantial emigration among any population. Marshlaw’s hierarchy ...
