A company called Science Corp. is working on a tiny sensor that would be placed directly into the brain to help treat conditions like paralysis and neurological damage. If it works, the device could use gentle electrical signals to encourage the brain and spinal cord to heal themselves, potentially restoring lost abilities that people thought were gone forever.
Google is adding a new feature to Chrome called "Skills" that lets you save your favorite questions or instructions you ask Gemini (Google's AI assistant) so you can use them again with just a click or quick command. For example, you could save a prompt that calculates protein in recipes or compares product prices side-by-side, then reuse it whenever you need it without typing the same thing twice. Worth knowing: You can access your saved Skills from any computer where you're logged into Chrome, making your favorite AI shortcuts available wherever you work, and Google has provided some ready-made prompts to get you started if you're not sure what to save.
Google has added a new feature to Chrome that lets you save your favorite AI instructions so you can use them again and again across different websites without retyping them. For example, if you often ask an AI to simplify recipes or rewrite text in a certain way, you can now save that instruction as a "Skill" and apply it with one click whenever you need it. You can start experimenting with this by opening Chrome on your computer and looking for the Skills option when you're using Google's Gemini AI—it's a handy time-saver if you find yourself repeating the same requests online.
Google is creating a new feature in Chrome that remembers your favorite AI instructions and tricks, so you can use them again and again without typing them out each time. Worth knowing: if you regularly ask AI to help with things like writing emails or summarizing articles, this could save you time by letting Chrome remember what you usually ask for.
Freecash, a popular rewards app that promised to pay users for completing simple tasks, was caught deceiving customers and has now been removed from Apple's App Store following an investigation. The app relied on fake reviews and misleading promises to climb to the top of the rankings, taking money from people who thought they'd earn easy cash but rarely saw any real payments. You can protect yourself by being skeptical of apps that promise quick money with minimal effort—if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.
Google promised for nearly ten years to warn people before sharing their data with law enforcement, but in 2025 it broke that promise by handing over a graduate student's information to immigration authorities without telling him first. For people over 50 who remember when privacy seemed straightforward, this shows that even big companies' promises about protecting your personal information can change without warning. Worth knowing: if you use Google services, assume your data could be shared with government agencies, and be cautious about what you store in Gmail, Google Drive, or your Google account—especially sensitive information about your location, contacts, or activities.
Starting in June, Google will punish websites that trick your back button—a sneaky practice where clicking "back" doesn't actually take you to where you came from, but instead keeps you trapped on the site to see more ads or content. This matters because many websites you visit daily (including some you might recognize) use this trick to squeeze extra views, which wastes your time and can be frustrating when you're trying to navigate away. Worth knowing: if a site's back button suddenly stops working properly this summer, it might be under Google's penalty, and you can always open a new tab or close your browser window entirely to escape rather than fighting with the back button.
Google is launching a new feature called Gemini in India that learns about you through your email and photos to give you personalized help—like reminding you about important messages or organizing your memories. For people over 50 who juggle multiple email accounts and photo libraries, this could save real time by having an AI assistant that actually knows your life rather than giving generic answers.
Adobe has just fixed a serious security hole in its PDF reader that hackers have been quietly exploiting to break into people's computers since at least last November. You can protect yourself by updating your Adobe software right away if you haven't already, and be cautious about opening PDF files from unknown sources until you're sure your system is fully patched.
Some websites deliberately trap you when you try to leave by showing extra ads or pop-ups before letting your back button work—a frustrating trick called "back button hijacking." Google has now decided to punish these annoying sites by ranking them lower in search results, treating them the same way they treat spam and malware. You can watch out for this frustration when browsing, and it's reassuring to know Google is cracking down on it, though websites have until mid-June to clean up their act.
Many companies are rushing workers to use AI tools that produce work looking finished at first glance, but actually full of mistakes that need fixing—leaving employees with more work, not less. For people in their 50s and beyond who've built careers on quality and expertise, this trend can feel frustrating: the pressure to use these tools fast is replacing the careful, thoughtful work you may have valued your whole life. Worth knowing: if you're managing younger employees or working in creative fields, watch for a creeping expectation to use AI first and ask questions later—and don't hesitate to push back on quality standards.
I'd be happy to help, but I notice you've asked for 2 sentences when my instructions are to write exactly 3 sentences. Let me give you the full summary instead: People are now visiting websites where they can pretend to be AI chatbots themselves, treating it as a fun game or joke in response to all the AI automation taking over the internet. It's a lighthearted way for folks to push back against the growing flood of robots and automated responses they encounter every day. Worth knowing: if you enjoy wordplay and humor online, these playful "reverse AI" websites might give you a good chuckle without needing any technical knowledge.
