 Deepfakes are a very popular topic these days, especially in media where sometimes speeches of some people are completely faked and may cause desinformation. A deepfake is a process that uses a video as a base and videos or photos of a person that is being faked. The name comes from "Deep Learning" which is a form of artificial intelligence. The A.I. learns how to use large sets of data that are used to face swap videos making realistic-looking fake media. There are numerous cases of  deepfakes being used to make a politician or a celebrity say something that they didn't say or do. For example a deepfake of Mark Zuckerberg saying that "whoever controlls the data controlls the future" caused a lot of accusations of collecting people's data from Facebook to use in Mark's own purpose. Not long after the case was solved because it turned out that the whole video was a deepfake. Despite all the bad things this technology can do it has also a lot of good uses...

 Cryptocurrency is a payment method that doesn't include banks. It's only available digitally and is stored in special cryptocurrency wallets that only a owner of it has access. The name is taken from encryptions that are used to verify transactions which are made from using them as a payment method. A lot of very advanced coding is required to make it transferrable between different cryptocurrency wallets. Unfortunately cryptocurrencies don't have a stable price which means that a price of a cryptocurrency can change rapidly that can increase or decrease. A good example of a cryptocurrency is Bitcoin which was founded in 2009 as the first cryptocurrency. It's currently the most known in the world and one of the most expensive ones. The original price of Bitcoin was just 0.0008$ and in these days a common price for it is over 40 thousand dollars. A method of getting cryptocurrency without buying it is called crypto mining. Crypto mining is a process that uses a computer...

ESports are tournaments where you play computer games competitively. This concept has been around since 1972 when game consoles were starting to become more popular and reachable for all people. In 1980 the first organised competition happened and had over 10 thousand participants. Since then this idea spread over the world and in 1998 another tournament had over 50 million viewers on the internet. These days ESports are even more popular and play a big role in the entertainment industry as well as in the economy because different brands pay for advertising their products during the competitions. Many organisations have been created that have their own teams and players to participate during them, so a lot of young people dream to become an ESports player. Being in an organisation like that is very hard to achieve but in the end it can be very profitable because the teams have their own sponsors that also want to advertise their brand and winning a single tournament can also give the a...

 Virtual Reality (shortly VR) is a computer simulation that requires VR Goggles and sometimes two controllers that act as our hands. Virtual Reality can be used to many things like showing people how it may have looked like being a victim of the eruption of mt. Vezuvius in 79 CE by creating a realistic simulation. VR can also sometimes change perspectives of people on other countries by showing them people in poverty that need our help.  Over the years the industry for VR equipment and games has rose a lot but it very expensive and still in it's early times where there's still a lot of room for improvement. In the future Virtual Reality is said to play a big role in our lives, for example people will have distance meetings in it, use it for visualisations of a house that they are planning to build and it may even replace out TVs.
