It's natural for our preferences to change as we get older. So when asked, "What are you simply getting too old for?" a lot of people from the BuzzFeed Community had thoughts. Here's what they had to say. 1. "I don’t do anything recreationally anymore if I’m not enjoying myself. If I’m not into a movie or show, I turn it off. If I’m not having fun at a party, I leave. I went wine tasting with friends recently when they started making fat jokes about a friend who wasn’t there, and I noped right out." —sarahshorthealth 2. "I’m in…
In a world increasingly powered by machines and artificial intelligence, our human qualities have never been so crucial. Good and trustworthy leadership has become more important than ever before. Even the best-engineered technology and honed strategy will fail without good leadership to guide and inspire people. Leaders drive projects, and people deliver results. International performance coach and public speaker Alvin Govender sees leadership as the missing piece when tackling the crisis and opportunities around us. "Leadership is not a person. It's a system that supports values, creates continuity, and encourages trust in leaders and also the people next to us.…
We may earn a commission from links on this page. Millions of students are using generative artificial intelligence to write papers as the popularity of AI chatbots such as ChatGPT proliferates. A report this week from Turnitin, an online plagiarism spotting service for educators that recently launched an AI detection tool, said that over 22 million student papers (11% of the sample reviewed by the company) used AI to generate at least 20% of the writing since April 2023. Turnitin reviewed over 200 million papers across the globe, mostly from higher education institutions. “We’re at an important juncture in education…
Plant just a few trees. Don't be afraid to reject your own ideas. Humble brag in a journal. This is some of the advice we heard last week when about 1,500 people who try to make our planet a better place – from scientists and philanthropists to activists and entrepreneurs – descended on Oxford, England. In big forums and little coffee shops, they discussed what to do about some of the world's biggest problems and swapped advice from their work on the front lines. The Skoll World Forum brought these people together in a bid to "accelerate innovative solutions." We…
As a neuroscientist, I've spent the last 25 years researching the science of memory. A funny question I get a lot from people is: "Am I just getting dumber the older I get?" I don't blame anyone for wondering this. Many of us find ourselves forgetting important things with increasing frequency over time. But the good news is that you can prevent those "senior moments" by avoiding four common habits that destroy our memory as we age: 1. Multitasking too much We rely on an area of the brain called the prefrontal cortex to pay attention to the world around…
Recently, I wrote about how different school is today compared to even 10 years ago, and the thing that stuck out most to me was the difference in technology. So, I decided to ask teachers and professors in our BuzzFeed Community how student AI use is changing their classrooms. Here are some of their most interesting stories: 1. "I teach media studies at the college level. In a nutshell, it's just absolutely baffling the level of laziness [AI use] shows. I've assigned video games for [my students] to play and write up notes on and a response to, and received…
After a frustrating day at work or fight with your significant other, calling a friend to complain might seem like a good idea. Venting won’t help you manage your anger, though, according to a recent paper published in Clinical Psychology Review. Researchers studied how effective arousal-increasing activities, like venting or running, and arousal-decreasing activities, like meditation or yoga, are at calming a person down. They analyzed 154 studies involving more than 10,000 participants and found that arousal-decreasing activities were better at helping a person manage their anger. Next time you want to unload your problems on a friend, take a…
We recently asked the BuzzFeed Community to give us tips on staying safe in hotels while traveling solo. Here are the eye-opening and helpful results: 1. "Lock every lock that is on the door. I also keep the 'do not disturb sign' throughout my stay because I don't want anyone in there with my things. That said, if I have valuables, I still hide them somewhere if I don't take them with me." "Also, not necessarily a safety tip, but check for bed bugs. Better be safe than sorry." —flubber7777 2. "As a woman who travels solo for work often…

I’ve written a lot about what makes love, and life, last. Over and over again, those who are in happy relationships or have lived many satisfying years, cite the importance of positivity. Harold Terens, 100, and Jeanne Swerlin, 96, are no different. The two SuperAgers, who met three years ago, are getting married in France this June. Though they’ve both experienced loss and grief, they continued to put themselves out there and even in their advanced age were able to find joy in one another. “The secret to longevity is to minimize stress,” Terens says. “We have two words that…
