Clean Energy Overtakes Coal & How Japan is Tackling Smartphone Addiction

Source: World Economic Forum (video statements)

00:14:20 – Smartphone addiction is on the rise around the world. It brings with it a range of health risks, from depression and anxiety to sleeplessness. In Japan, the average high school student spends 6 hours a day online – more than any other age group. Now the country is taking steps to tackle smartphone addiction. Here’s how.

02:20:19 – The planet has achieved a historic first as, in the first half of 2025, renewables produced more electricity than coal. Global electricity demand actually grew in that time – but a surge in new solar and wind capacity more than covered the increase.

04:24:13 – Only 15% of cybercrimes are ever reported, according to the FBI — leaving law enforcement blind to evolving threats. Reporting also helps protect future victims, says Interpol Cybercrime Director Neil Jetton.

09:16:21 – Large language models are trained on huge volumes of text, much of it lifted from the searchable internet. But there is a lack of reciprocity here, argues the CEO of Creative Commons, Anna Tumadóttir. She says that tech companies are taking what they need and monetizing the results – and this imbalance is disincentivizing writers and creators from sharing their work openly.

UK The chimes of Big Ben

At 2am tomorrow morning, all the UK’s clocks will go back. This includes the clock in the Elizabeth Tower. 🕰️

Our clock mechanics will be testing the mechanism. They will lower the clock’s weights to stop it running and perform maintenance. 🔧

This means that from 6pm on Saturday, the hands will not be showing the correct time until 2am on Sunday. 🔕
