Fear is in fact a major component of the act of parenting. No one is more 6 to an expert’s
fearmongering than a parent.Aparent, after all, is the steward of another creature’s life, a creature who 7 is
more helpless than the newborn of nearly any other species. This leads a lot of parents to spend a lot of their
parenting energy simply being scared. The problem is that they are often scared of the wrong things. It’s not
their fault, really. Separating facts from rumors is always hard work, 8 for a busy parent. And the white
noise generated by the experts— 9 the pressure exerted by fellow parents—is so overwhelming that they
can barely think for themselves. The facts that they do manage to glean have usually been varnished or
exaggerated or 10 taken out of context to serve an agenda that isn’t their own.

The small European nation of Luxembourg just made a big investment in a flourishing realm of the space
industry: asteroid mining. Private companies and space agencies have been interested in mining asteroids for
water and 11 minerals like platinum, which can be used to fuel trips to destinations deeper in space.
While no one has successfully mined an asteroid yet, the Luxembourg government plans to 12 this
industry through research and development projects. Luxembourg is not the onlycountry to look up to the skies
for new places to mine. In 2015, US president Barack Obama signed a law that will let American companies
mine space resources. In January, the European Space Agency shared a vision for a research village on the
Moon. This would be used as a 13 for mining companies. The US company Deep Space Industries said
space resources will allow greater exploration of the solar system without the need to mind resources on
Earth. 14 , there could be problems ahead for mining companies. The Outer Space Treaty of 1967 says
that natural resources in space are part of mankind’s common 15 . This means private companies may not
be able to mine asteroids.

Due to the growing popularity of high-speed internet connections. Wi-Fi, the easiest way to enable
several computers to share the same broadband link, was developed years ago. This fast method of
wireless data 16 has made the flow of large amounts of information easily available and can be
conveniently 17 with no waiting. Due to all the rapid changes in science and technology, it may, however,
be replaced in the 18 future by an even faster technology called Li-Fi.
In 2011, Professor Harold Hass at the University of Edinburgh introduced Light Fidelity (Li-Fi) to the
public. This advanced technology, which supports multiuser access and enables roaming, uses visible light to
transport data. Its lightning speed, which is 100 times faster than the average Wi-Fi, can transfer one gigabyte
per second. That is, music, or even movies can be downloaded in just seconds. In addition to its 19 speed,
the security of Li-Fi is better than Wi-Fi, which is 20 for aircrafts or hospitals where high security is
expected. Li-Fi will no doubt change the way we use and send data.
