Five Things Tech: Quantum, Internet Outage, AWS Beds, Land Drones, Aluminum Fuel

Everything you should read about Tech right now.

Hey there, good to have you back for another edition of Five Things Tech!

Let’s see what we are dealing with today: Google’s quantum team just took a giant leap forward, pushing the limits of computing speed in ways that could transform drug design and materials science. But while machines are getting smarter, our digital foundations remain fragile — Monday’s massive internet outage showed how dependent we already are on cloud systems, and even smart beds like Eight Sleep’s got caught in the chaos. On the battlefield, Ukraine’s use of drones continues to redefine warfare as technology creeps into every corner of conflict. And in the energy sector, aluminum could soon power parts of our zero-carbon future if a new startup’s bold plan works out. Tech breakthroughs everywhere. Can our infrastructure and ethics keep up with this?
