Why the USA's influence has decreased since the 1990s?

 

The U.S dominance in the world has been decreased in the world? In the 1990s the U.S media dominated the information of the world. CNN and other media offices were the most powerful tool in the hands of the U.S financial and political actors. And when the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, people in the world rush to introduce their anti-communism and tell people how the liberated media opened their eyes.  

That reaction is connected to the USA, which dominated the worldwide media. People explained the fast-growing influence of the USA as a powerful counter-reaction for communism. When the resistance for the U.S dominance is lost, the tidal wave of the western values falls to the ex-communist states.

But another reason for the U.S dominance in the late 1990s and early 21st century was the dominance of media. English was the global language, and that makes it easier to follow the CNN news than Russian and Chinese media. And that thing is a good way to collect the audience. People are easier to follow the news, what made by language, what they understand.

And many things, what was told in the areas of science and other things were reported by U.S media. The time for those broadcast was of course limited and the topics for news selected because they were interesting. But then came the Internet. Even without social media, that thing allowed to search data freely straight from the homepages of the organizations, and especially in the world of computer specialists the homepages of the organizations like RIKE were useful.

The supercomputer institutes and research units are not very popular topics for the news, because there is not very much to see. There are only coffins in the room and some people in white overalls around those things. Computing like coding is not very impressive, but it requires accuracy. But if we want to make news about that kind of thing, that means that there is not very much to show. Computer programming and other kinds of stuff are interested only in the people, who are working with those things.  

Also, actors like the People's Republic of China have seen how powerful tool the Internet is. The internet has caused that the information can get also from other places than straight from CNN and that thing rises also other actors to the public knowledge. If there is more data to share that means the possibility that the user of the internet clicks certain homepage decreases, even the homepage is well-known.

The homepages or links to homepages can share on social media, and that guarantees that somebody is clicking those things. There is one thing that has caused criticism against the U.S media is that some people are seeing that media is polarized. And they are blaming CNN for one-side information sharing, which is supporting only the U.S government. We are forgetting that CNN is a private corporation, what purpose is to bring money for the owners. So the news is selected because for using the method, that they are bringing the audience.  And that is the problem. There are no absolute neutral media in the world. Every media office is owned by some person who has a nationality.

The thing is that every media office in the world has a hometown. So we are forgetting that every media office in the world is under the influence of the national authorities and political-economical control. If some businessman would buy the media company, that means that the company sings the song, what that businessman wants. And the national authorities can also affect the owners of the media houses.

They can arrest the family members of that person, or they can just take the passport away, and that is the thing, that makes this kind of thing problematic. Even in the most undemocratic countries are businessmen, who have money. And those people can operate as the "private persons", but the truth is that they are investing the money of the government. If they reject the cooperation offer from the security police, they are in very deep trouble. And this is how the security authorities in some countries can affect the media in another country. They just buy the media house by using some businessman as a middleman by using some and start to publish what they want.

Antimatter motor

Antimatter motor Antimatter would be an effective fuel for interstellar spacecraft Antimatter would be the most effective power source in the world. It will be the most suitable motor for interstellar spacecraft, but the problem is that thing is very reactive. And actually one of the biggest problems with this kind of motor is that the gram of antimatter would turn the entire planet to the molecular nebula. So this kind of motor can produce only outside of our solar system. Producing antimatter would need large particle accelerators, and that kind of systems might look like giant donuts, what is floating on the space. There are two ways to create the antimatter motor, one is to store the anti-ions in the magnetic bottle, where the pushing magnetic field will keep those ions away from the wall of the bottle, and then the antimatter would conduct to the water or some other particle. The huge explosion or annihilation reaction would send the rocket to a very high speed. The antimatt...

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies?

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies? The simplest way to control zombies, which are made by using tetrodotoxin, which is called "zombie poison" is to use the automatic dispenser, which is normally used in diabetes treatment. In this case, the dispenser would be loaded by using tetrodotoxin. If the level of this poison is right, the person would be totally under the control of other people. And if the system cannot detect this poison there is a possibility to make the laboratory experiment when the staff will follow the decrease of the tetrodotoxin, and then the system can use a simple clock, which will inject poison to the body of a victim after a certain time. This would be an effective tool in the hands of military and counter-terror operators. Those zombies can be captured enemy operators, who will send back, and then they just kill their ex-partners. By using genetically engineered bacteria could be possible to create t...

The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like.

.     The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like. Above is the image of the nano-submarine. There is introduced an idea, that this kind of system would equip with living neurons, which makes it like some kind of artificial bug or mosquito. The idea is that the robot can take the nutrient by using the robot tube, which acts like a proboscis. The neurons can get nutrients and the rest of the machine can use small fuel cells or the energy to that system can deliver by using the radio waves. Futurologists are thinking about the ideas, what the hybridization of the neurons and machine would look like? Could the hyper-technical civilization look like the group of midget submarines? Those submarines might take nutrients for the neurons, what is living in them. The purpose of the midget submarines, which might be size less than a couple of millimeters would maximize the survivability of the neurons. One of the most intere...
