Our laptops and phones are almost miraculously powerful. How did computers come so far in such a short period of time?
Lateral is an online magazine focused on the interaction of science with wider human society, including medicine, the media, philosophy, law, education, history, politics, art, culture, and more. It creates paid opportunities for up-and-coming young science communicators and artists, and engages a wide audience with the value and ideas of science.
