As a UI/UX designer by trade, I explore how sustainable and smart technologies impact our lives. And I try to dive deeper into those topics to provide context. Topics like electric vehicles, solar panels, and renewable energy that is meant to transition the world off of fossil fuels. Smart home technology that can make our homes not only more convenient, but safer and more accessible. Wearable technology that can track our health and save lives. Or how technology might be invading and breaking down the walls of our privacy. So in short... Exploring how technology impacts our lives.Matthew Ferrell

  • How Close Are We To Quantum Batteries?

Right? Researchers in Australia just tested one that flips that rule completely. The larger they built it, the faster it charged. It runs on quantum effects, and the very first version charged with light from a laser, no cord required. Scientists call the ultra fast charging trick superabsorption, and it hints at energy storage that could one day power your phone or car. So is this quantum battery actually the future of charging? Or is it just a lab curiosity that fizzles out in nanoseconds?

  • What I Found Behind Disney World's Hidden Systems

    What I Found Behind Disney World's Hidden Systems. Take your personal data back with Incogni! Use code UNDECIDED at the link below and get 60% off an annual plan: http://incogni.com/undecided I got an exclusive backstage look at Disney World expecting a polished sustainability tour. Then I watched old beer bottles get ground into sand, stood in an overgrown solar field built for native bees, and traced food scraps through a closed loop recycling system that once helped power the parks. Disney World handles this like a small city, with 50 million visitors a year and decades of infrastructure behind it. So is Disney’s sustainability actually a model other companies can learn from? Or is the whole thing just too Disney-sized to copy?

  • How IKEA-Style Wind Turbines Could Change Offshore Energy
    Jul 7 2026

    How IKEA-Style Wind Turbines Could Change Offshore Energy. Start your 7-day free trial + unlock 4 extra months of Surfshark VPN — head to https://surfshark.com/undecided or use code UNDECIDED at checkout! You know what an offshore wind turbine looks like. A giant pole, three blades, bolted to the seafloor. Trouble is, that design only works in shallow water, which leaves most of the ocean, and the strongest winds, out of reach. A Swedish company called SeaTwirl wants to change that. It turns the turbine on its side, floats it, and flat-packs the whole thing like an IKEA bookshelf, no crane required. Vertical axis turbines have a rough track record, though, and the biggest one ever built broke after five years. So is SeaTwirl a real breakthrough? Or is it a century-old dead end in a flat-pack box?
