Geoffrey Hinton is widely described in the press as a founder or 'godfather' of modern artificial intelligence.

His pioneering research on neural networks and deep learning helped shape many contemporary AI systems and is credited with paving the way for technologies like ChatGPT.

Hinton worked for about ten years on AI at Google and recently resigned so he could speak more freely about the risks of the technology.

He said he now regrets parts of his work and used words such as 'very frightening' and 'nightmare' to describe potential downsides of advanced AI.

He warned that AI could displace jobs, spread misinformation so people 'would no longer know what’s true,' and be misused by bad actors.

Hinton explained that digital AI systems can be copied and share knowledge rapidly, which gives them access to far more factual material than any single person.

Other experts and tech figures have also raised alarms or called for pauses in large-scale AI work, and Google leaders publicly thanked Hinton while emphasizing responsible AI development.

A practical public takeaway from Hinton's statements is to follow discussions about AI safety policies, and to be aware of risks such as job disruption, misinformation, and misuse by bad actors as the technology advances.

In short, Hinton's resignation drew headlines because a leading AI pioneer warned publicly that rapid AI progress presents serious risks that deserve urgent attention.

Content: Artificial intelligence: Geoffrey Hinton 'godfather' of modern technology resigns from Google and warns of its danger
Jeffrey Hinton, widely regarded as the spiritual father of artificial intelligence, has resigned, warning of the growing dangers of AI development.
Hinton, 75, announced his resignation from Google in a statement to the New York Times, saying he now regrets his work.
He told the BBC that some of the dangers of smart chatbots were "very scary".
“Right now, they ’ re not as smart as we can tell.
But I think they ’ ll be soon. ”
Hinton ’ s groundbreaking research on deep learning and neural networks has paved the way for artificial intelligence systems such as ChatGT.
But British-Canadian cognitive psychologist and computer science specialist Hinton told the BBC the chatbot could soon surpass the level of information held by the human brain.

“Right now, what we ’ re seeing is that things like GPT-4 are far superior to a person in the amount of general knowledge they have.
For thinking, it ’ s not good, but it really works on simple thinking. ”
"Given the rate of development, we expect things to improve quickly.
So we have to worry about that. ”
In the article he sent to the New York Times, he pointed out that “bad actors ” may try to use artificial intelligence to do“ bad things. ”
In response to the BBC's request for further clarification on the matter, he said: "This is just kind of a worst-case scenario, kind of a nightmare scenario."
“Can you imagine, for example, that someone as bad as the Russian president (Vladimir Putin) decided to give robots the ability to create their own sub-goals? ”
In the end, he warned, this could “create sub-goals – for example, ‘ I need to get more power. ’ ”
"I have come to the conclusion that the kind of intelligence we develop is very different from the intelligence we have," he said.
“We are biological systems and these are digital systems.
The big difference is that with digital systems you have many copies of the same weight set, of the same world model. ”
"All of these versions can learn separately, but they share their knowledge immediately.
If you have 10,000 people, when one person learns something, everyone will automatically know it.
So chatbots can know much more than one person. ”
Hinton also spoke of several other reasons why he quit his job.
“One of them is that I am 75 years old now.
And the other is that I want to say good things about Google.
It would be more credible if I didn ’ t work for Google. ”
He stressed that he did not want to criticize Google, and that the company was "very responsible".
Google Chief Scientist Jeff Dean said: “We remain committed to a responsible approach to artificial intelligence.
We are constantly learning to understand the risks arising under innovation boldly as well. ”

Geoffrey Hinton, who is considered the godfather of artificial intelligence, has resigned from his position at Google.
Warning about the growing risks of AI, Hinton stressed that “the downsides of this sector ’ s software like GPT are very frightening. ”
Hinton ’ s pioneering work on neural networks has shaped artificial intelligence systems that power many contemporary products.
He worked part-time at Google for a decade in the tech giant ’ s AI development efforts, but has since had concerns about the technology and its role in its development.
In a tweet on Monday, Hinton said he left Google so he could speak freely about the dangers of artificial intelligence, not because of a desire to criticize Google specifically.
Hinton tweeted: “I left so I could talk about the dangers of artificial intelligence without thinking about how this would affect Google. ”
He added: “Google has acted with great responsibility. ”
Rapid development of artificial intelligence
In an interview with the BBC, Hinton said: "At the moment, these shows are not smarter than us, but I think they may soon be."
Hinton also considered that his age played into his decision to leave the tech giant Google, saying, “I ’ m 75 years old, so it ’ s time to retire. ”
Hinton ’ s groundbreaking research paved the way for access to current AI systems and is therefore considered by many to be the founder of the sector.
In another interview with The New York Times, Hinton said that “part of me regrets ” contributing to the development of the technology.
But the British-Canadian cognitive psychologist and computer scientist told the BBC: "Right now, what we're seeing is that things like ChatGT outperform a person in the amount of general knowledge they have and outperform them a lot.
But in terms of thinking, man is ahead. ”
However, he points out that "the speed at which this software evolves makes us expect its efficiency to improve, so we have to worry about that."
In an article in The New York Times, Hinton said there were “bad actors ” trying to use AI for“ bad things. ”
"Nightmare."
When asked by the BBC to elaborate on this, he replied: “This is just some sort of worst-case scenario, it ’ s a nightmare. ”
“You can imagine, for example, that some bad actors like Russian President Vladimir Putin decided to give robots the ability to set their own targets during the war. ”
“I have come to the conclusion that the kind of information we develop is very different from the intelligence we have.
We are biological systems and these are digital systems. ”
As for how the software learns, Hinton explained that it “works separately to instantly share its knowledge, as if you have 10,000 people and whenever someone learns something, everyone knows it automatically.
And so these chatbots can know far more than any one person. ”
Henton is not the first Google employee to raise a red flag on artificial intelligence.
In July, the company fired an engineer who claimed an undisclosed AI system had become conscious, saying it violated hiring and data security policies.

Geoffrey Hinton, who laid the groundwork for artificial intelligence (AI) systems, told The New York Times that advances in AI pose “great risks to society and humanity. ”
In a report published today in the New York Times, Hinton was quoted as saying, “Look at what it looked like five years ago and now, and the difference and growth, it ’ s really scary. ”
Hinton pointed out that competition among tech giants has prompted these companies to release new AI technologies at a dangerous rate, which will endanger people ’ s jobs and spread misinformation.
"It's hard to see how you can prevent bad people from using it (AI) to do bad things," he told the New York Times.
OpenAI, the startup behind Google and now the most powerful AI chatbot, ChatGPT, began using more data than ever before to develop systems in 2022.
Hinton told the New York Times that he believes these systems are surpassing human intelligence in some ways because of the sheer volume of data they analyze.
"Perhaps these systems are already stronger than the human brain," he said.
While AI has been used to support human needs for work, the rapid development of chatbots like ChatGPT could put human jobs at risk.
He told the New York Times that AI is “taking on a chore, ” but“ it ’ s probably going to do more than that. ”
Hinton also warned that AI could spread false information, telling the New York Times that the average person would “no longer know what ’ s true. ”
According to the New York Times, Hinton tendered his resignation to Google last month.

"As one of the first companies to publish AI principles, we remain committed to taking a responsible approach to AI," the statement added.
"While we are bold and innovative, we are constantly discovering new risks."
Tech billionaire Elon Musk and many experts have called for a moratorium on the development of AI systems to allow time to ensure the technology is safe.
After the launch of the GPT-4, which is more powerful than the AI used by ChatGPT, Musk and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak signed an open letter.

In short, Hinton's resignation drew headlines because a leading AI pioneer warned publicly that rapid AI progress presents serious risks that deserve urgent attention.


Geoffrey Hinton is widely regarded as a founding figure or 'godfather' of modern artificial intelligence because of his pioneering work on neural networks and deep learning.

Hinton worked at Google for about ten years in AI research and left his role at Google in 2023 so he could speak more freely about the risks of AI.

Hinton has said he regrets aspects of his work and described the rapid progress of AI as 'very frightening' or 'scary.'

He warned that AI systems are improving quickly and may already match or exceed humans in some ways, especially in the breadth of factual knowledge.

Hinton listed concrete near-term risks including job displacement and the spread of false information through fake text, images, and video.

He warned about 'bad actors' misusing AI and gave a 'nightmare' example of autonomous systems in war developing harmful sub-goals.

Hinton explained that digital AI systems can rapidly share learned knowledge across many copies, which lets them accumulate information much faster than any single person.

He said his age (75) and a desire to speak without appearing biased were factors in his decision to leave, and he praised Google as having acted responsibly.

Some other experts and technologists reacted by calling for slower, safer development, with Elon Musk and Steve Wozniak among signatories of an open letter calling for a moratorium on large-scale AI experiments after GPT-4's release.

Google's AI leaders publicly thanked Hinton and said the company remains committed to a responsible approach while continuing to study new risks.

There have also been other public episodes that raised AI safety questions at Google, such as the firing of an engineer who claimed an internal AI system had become conscious.

The media coverage highlighted Hinton's warnings because he helped build the technology, publicly expressed regret, and emphasized the quick pace of development and potential real-world harms.

What the public should take away is that a leading AI pioneer has publicly called for caution, noting risks to jobs, truth, and potential misuse, and that this has prompted calls for more oversight and discussion.

In short: Geoffrey Hinton — a pioneer of neural networks who left Google in 2023 to speak freely about AI risks — warned that rapid AI progress creates real dangers (job loss, misinformation and misuse), prompting experts and industry to call for greater caution and oversight.

Hinton explained that digital AI systems can rapidly share learned knowledge across many copies, which lets them accumulate information much faster than any single person.

He said his age (75) and a desire to speak without appearing biased were factors in his decision to leave, and he praised Google as having acted responsibly.

Why did Hinton leave Google when he helped develop AI but later grew concerned about its dangers?

The godfather of AI leaves Google worried that artificial intelligence will fall into the wrong hands
The US media reported today that Hinton, known as the “godfather of AI ”, resigned his job at Google and openly talked about the risks of AI, worried that AI would fall into the wrong hands.
He says it ’ s hard to see how to prevent bad people from using it to do bad things.
Geoffrey Hinton, who laid the groundwork for artificial intelligence (AI) systems, told The New York Times that advances in AI pose “great risks to society and humanity. ”
In a report published today in The New York Times, Hinton was quoted as saying, “Look at how it looked five years ago and now, the difference and growth, it ’ s really scary. ”
Hinton pointed out that competition among tech giants is driving these companies to release new AI technologies at a dangerous rate, which will endanger people ’ s jobs and spread misinformation.
"It's hard to see how you can prevent bad people from using AI to do bad things," he told the New York Times.
OpenAI, the startup behind Google and now the most powerful AI chatbot, ChatGPT, began developing systems with more data than ever before in 2022.
Hinton told the New York Times that he believes these systems are surpassing human intelligence in some ways because of the sheer volume of data they analyze.
"Perhaps these systems are already more powerful than the human brain," he said.
While AI has been used to support human needs for work, the rapid development of chatbots like ChatGPT could leave human jobs in jeopardy.
He told the New York Times that AI was “taking on a chore, ” but that“ it ’ s probably going to do more than that. ”
Hinton also warned that AI could spread the wrong message, telling the New York Times that the average person would “never know what ’ s true again. ”
According to the New York Times, Hinton submitted his resignation to Google last month.
Google ’ s head of AI, Jeff Dean, expressed his gratitude to Hinton in a statement to the US media.
“As one of the first companies to publish AI principles, we remain committed to taking a responsible approach to AI, ” the statement added.
“While we innovate boldly, we are constantly discovering new risks. ”
Tech billionaire Elon Musk and many experts have called for a pause in the development of AI systems to allow time to ensure the technology is safe.
After the introduction of GPT-4, which is more powerful than the AI used by ChatGPT, Musk and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak signed an open letter.
Hinton, who was not involved in the petition, told the New York Times that scientists should not “further scale research and development ” until they understood if they could control AI.

Google's AI leaders publicly thanked Hinton and said the company remains committed to a responsible approach while continuing to study new risks.

There have also been other public episodes that raised AI safety questions at Google, such as the firing of an engineer who claimed an internal AI system had become conscious.

The media coverage highlighted Hinton's warnings because he helped build the technology, publicly expressed regret, and emphasized the quick pace of development and potential real-world harms.

Digital nomads are professionals who work remotely using technology and travel while keeping their work independent of location.

The lifestyle offers flexibility and freedom but also creates connectivity and productivity challenges due to variable internet and time zones.

Several countries have introduced digital nomad visas, for example Namibia, Ecuador, Belize, Malaysia, Albania, Malta, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Greece and Hungary.

Remote desktop and remote storage tools let nomads access a home or office computer from anywhere, run intensive software remotely, and avoid transferring files.

Common nomad jobs include programmers, designers, writers, translators and other IT or creative roles that can be performed online.

Useful tools include reliable remote desktop software, a good laptop, mobile hotspots or portable Wi‑Fi, and noise‑canceling headphones.

Hidden downsides include unpredictable income, fluctuating monthly costs, bank and ATM fees, and the need for careful budgeting.

Legal and administrative risks include visa rules, tax residency exposure, and visa or document delays that can hinder work and travel.

Cultural adjustment, language barriers and local bureaucracy can make finding work and daily life harder in some countries.

Some governments and employers have simplified visas or promoted programs to attract remote skilled workers.

Conclusion: The digital nomad lifestyle can work for IT and creative freelancers but requires strong planning for connectivity, finances, visas and emotional resilience, so weigh the downsides before deciding.

Digital nomads are professionals who work remotely using technology and travel while keeping their work independent of location.

As the world rapidly adapts to the digital revolution, we are witnessing the rise of a new type of worker: digital nomads.
Digital nomads are professionals who work remotely using technology, enabling them to travel and live a lifestyle unrelated to location.
This trend of nomadic working life is more than just a fad; it ’ s a sweeping shift in the way we look at work, and it ’ s made possible thanks in large part to advances in technologies such as remote storage and remote desktop software.
Remote desktop storage has become an important tool for digital nomads.
With it, they can access their work computer or office network from anywhere in the world as long as they have an internet connection.
This ability to work remotely not only provides flexibility, but also allows digital nomads to maintain high levels of productivity wherever they are.
Splashtop understands the complexity of this lifestyle and is committed to providing solutions to address the unique challenges faced by digital travelers, such as connectivity issues and secure access to remote resources.
We strive to improve the flexibility provided by this lifestyle, aiming to make the world a seamless workspace.
With the right remote desktop and remote storage tools, the world can indeed be your workplace.
That ’ s the power of technology today – it makes geography irrelevant, it ’ s changing the way we work, travel and live.
Welcome to the digital nomadic world powered by Splashtop ’ s remote desktop solutions.
Defining digital nomads and their challenges
Digital nomadism is the practice of doing work by relying on digital technology, often for remote work from abroad.
This lifestyle offers enticing benefits such as flexibility, freedom and the charm of travel.
However, this is not without challenges.
The key is connectivity issues due to different global internet stability and maintaining productivity in different time zones and environments.
The right tools, including reliable remote desktop software, can help address these challenges and make digital nomadic a rewarding and efficient way to work.
Remote Desktop: Solutions for Digital Travellers
Remote desktop software bridges the connection between your device and computer by using the Internet as a medium.
This process involves using two applications, even the "client" application on the portable device and the "proxy" application installed on the desktop.
This duo enables you to establish a remote desktop connection that effectively lets you control and interact with your desktop, regardless of time and place, as if you were immersive.
Basically, you can control your primary computer, access files, use apps, and even perform complex tasks from a remote location, all as if you were sitting in front of your computer.
Digital nomads can leverage remote desktop technology to dramatically increase their productivity.
For example, let ’ s say you ’ re a digital hobbyist who often uses specialized software installed on your home computer.
With remote desktop storage, you can use your laptop or even tablet to run this software from anywhere in the world without having to carry your home computer with you.
Alternatively, you may be a software developer or graphic designer (and also a digital nomad!) and you may need access to a powerful home desktop for coding or testing.
By using remote desktop software, you can take advantage of the processing power of your home computer to run intensive applications smoothly while traveling from a portable laptop or even tablet.
As a digital hobbyist, you may be worried that the main computer in your home is going into sleep mode, which may interrupt your remote storage.
This can interfere with your workflow, especially if you are in a different time zone or location.
However, with Splashtop, this concern is a thing of the past. Splashtop offers a “Wake Up Computer ” feature specifically designed to wake your remote computer from its sleep state.
This feature ensures that you can always connect to your computer, no matter where you are in the world, providing an uninterrupted, reliable remote storage experience.
Remote desktop tools also provide secure access to your files without the need to sync or transfer them across devices, reducing the risk of data loss or theft.
This technology is also beneficial when digital nomads need to collaborate with team members in real time, as they can remotely access a colleague ’ s computer to get help or perform a task.
One of the major benefits that remote desktop storage brings to digital travelers is the ability to overcome the unpredictability of travel.
Whether it ’ s an unforeseen situation that causes a hardware failure, or simply an inability to access a specific document, a remote desktop solution can provide the necessary buffers to keep your workflow running smoothly.
One such solution is Splashtop, which is designed to provide secure and reliable remote storage. With a user-friendly interface and strong connectivity, Splashtop supports a seamless remote work experience.
It is an effective tool for connecting to your main computer from any other device (laptop, tablet or even smartphone).
Its cross-platform features allow you to work across operating systems without compatibility issues.
All of this doesn ’ t require a lot of technical setup. All you need is an internet connection.
With Splashtop or similar tools, the world truly becomes a workspace for digital hobbyists, making geography a consideration of the past.
Tips for Using Remote Desktop Storage Effectively
Choosing the right remote desktop tool is critical to getting the benefits of this technology.
When choosing a tool, consider factors such as ease of use, reliability, speed, and security features.
Compatibility with different operating systems and devices is also an important factor, especially for digital nomads who may use various devices.
Ensuring safe and smooth remote storage is just as important.
Find tools that provide robust security measures such as two-factor authentication and data encryption.
A reliable internet connection also plays a vital role in ensuring smooth access.
It is recommended to use backup connection options in case of network instability, such as portable Wi-Fi or mobile hotspots.
With Splashtop ’ s adaptive streaming technology, you can still experience high-performance remote storage even on less than perfect internet connections, ensuring a seamless digital nomadic experience.

Content: “The digital nomads. ”
A phenomenon that has been expanding since the Coronavirus pandemic, and that is how governments use them.
The speed of the internet has given rise to a new way of working remotely, called “digital nomads. ”
The “digital nomads ” are often young people, who work using digital sites, and do not want to work from a fixed location in a particular country, but move from one country to another, combining work and tourism.
The coronavirus pandemic has helped turn this once marginal phenomenon into a spreading trend.
This has led governments in many countries to increasingly offer people visas to allow them to work there on a temporary basis.
Attracting through the granting of visas
Countries such as Namibia, Ecuador, Belize, Malaysia and Albania have recently issued visas to attract digital nomads.
In Europe, Malta, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Greece and Hungary followed suit.
Countries ’ motivations range from wanting to compensate for the loss of tourists during the outbreak to accepting the positive side of hybrid methods of work, while others want to attract workers to compensate for their lack of skilled labor and their aging populations.
All of this helps to accept digital nomads, who are no longer seen by countries as job dropouts, but as pioneers of a new way of life.
Digital nomads see themselves as part of an international community, sharing tips and experiences on the best places to live and work online.

Content: 24 year old girl working in 20 countries in 5 years sharing 4 financial management tips for being a “digital nomad ”
Personal Value Added 21: 30 2023 / 06 / 10

Remote work during the pandemic made home-based work or digital nomad popular, and Canadian schoolgirl Daniella Pashuk became a digital nomad five years ago.
At that time, the new crown had not yet broken out, and only at the age of 19, she entered an online university and began working full-time while traveling.
The term “digital nomads ” refers to people who travel freely while working remotely on the Internet.
They usually have the least material possessions. They work online using computers or smartphones in temporary homes, hotels, cafes, public libraries, shared offices or motorhomes. They often move between different countries and regions, and work as programmers, designers, writers, translators, etc.
“I can go where I want to go and do what I want in different countries.
It changed the trajectory of my life, "she told CNBC.
Pashuk, 24, has traveled to more than 20 countries in five years and is a freelance writer whose monthly income fluctuates.
“My monthly income ranges from $2,500 to $3,500 … Some months I travel as a family nanny, so I don ’ t have to pay any accommodation fees. ”
It also means that she has to plan her finances with extra care, although she can travel and work whenever she wants.
“You have to accept a little bit of unpredictability … each month looks different because you ’ re often in different regions, in different currencies, with different spending, so forecasting is a challenge, ” she says.
Extremes like “spending 600 euros last month and 3,000 euros the next month, ” Pashuk recalls.
To be a digital nomad, she says, it ’ s important to keep your finances in good shape because you have to fund the lifestyle you really want.
She shared four financial tips for being a digital hobbyist with CNBC.
Decide what kind of digital nomad you want to be
Pashuk says that what type of digital nomad you want to be will determine your situation.
The first type is people who change places frequently, going to a new place every one to two weeks.
She was in this state for almost two years at one time, but then stopped doing it because she found it was too stressful for her.
This can quickly become expensive, she said, as there is a big chance of problems with each move, such as high ticket prices, train cancellations and other extra costs.
Now she ’ s a “Slow Digital Nomad ” who stays in one place for at least a month or as long as her visa allows.
Pashuk says this helps the budget because the budget is fixed for months, and you stay in the same place and still spend the same things.
In addition, building an affordable “base camp ” can go a long way, providing some stability.
Currently, Pashuk has a “headquarters ” in Montenegro, but also works in different places:“ I still travel every month, but I have a place to come back. ”
She has to spend at least a certain amount each month, such as paying rent in Montenegro, but it has little impact on the total expenditure.
2. Use the correct debit card
When Pashuk started out as a digital nomad, having a stable and reliable cash flow was a huge challenge.
Her Canadian bank account has been locked because she is constantly changing locations, which the bank thinks is a bit suspicious.
So she was forced to call the bank all the time.
In addition, when you use a Canadian card to withdraw money from a local ATM, the offshore transaction fee is also considerable.
“Sometimes I lose $30 to $40 every time I withdraw cash, and if you have to withdraw it multiple times, you lose a lot of money. ”
Two years ago, she switched to a multi-currency debit card, which allowed her to top up and withdraw cash in the currency she wanted. Pashuk said she saved her freelance earnings into the card and took it to more than 20 countries without any problems.

3.
Do full research.
She said that as a digital traveller, in the process of moving to a workplace, it is really important to do adequate research.
To figure out the average local prices, determine if they fit your budget, and find the average prices for Airbnb apartments, food, and other essentials.
Before going somewhere, Pashuk always makes a small table of the items needed for life.
“You never know what unknowns might creep up and steal your money. ”
For example, public transport can be prohibitively expensive in some countries. People often don ’ t think of this, Pashuk shares, because public transport is always cheap where you ’ re staying. “But I went to London and it cost a lot more than I thought, up to $20 a day. ”
Pay close attention to tax requirements
Pashuk also regularly keeps an eye on the latest tax requirements of different countries to ensure that a stay in one country is not long enough to be considered a tax resident.
"I just don't want to deal with it," she said. "Canada's taxes are enough for me."
If you ’ re considering becoming a “slow-moving digital traveller, ” Pashuk suggests studying digital traveller visas, as they typically offer tax relief — and some even complete exemption.
The more you travel, the more accurate you can predict how much you will spend, she says.
“Where you can cut costs, you have to be a little smart.
Being financially proficient is definitely a good thing in the long run and can keep you moving forward. ”

A Guide for College Students Embracing the Digital Nomad Lifestyle

A digital nomad is someone who works remotely and travels often. Their work doesn’t require them to report to an office or adhere to a strict schedule. Instead, they can work anywhere in the world, doing the job they love.

It’s no wonder this lifestyle is appealing more to college students. They can travel the world while studying and working abroad. That said, being a college student and a digital nomad is a challenge. It’s not like a vacation where all you have to worry about is enjoying yourself.

You have to learn how to balance the fun of traveling with work and school commitments. The following tips will help you do just that.

Understand What the Digital Nomad Lifestyle Will Be Like

You have to understand what the digital nomad lifestyle will be like if you want it to work out. You can assess whether this life is for you, and better prepare for it if you decide that it is.

Here are some critical points to consider about the digital nomad lifestyle:

  • A work-life balance is a must
  • Traveling often can be exhausting
  • You must ensure access to healthcare
  • You need a plan for financial stability
  • You’ll have to adapt to new cultures and languages
  • Knowing visa requirements and other legal requirements is essential
  • You might experience homesickness, especially if you go international
  • Balancing school with work and life in a new place is a big commitment

Dig into these factors and research all you’ll have to do and give up to be a digital nomad. Then, you can make an informed decision about moving forward.

Master Time Management

You’ll have to take your time management up a few notches if you want to be a digital nomad.

It’s one thing to balance life and school. It’s another to balance life, school, traveling, and potentially, work. You must learn how to divide your days so that you pay each of these things the attention they need. In addition, time management will ensure you don’t burn out.

Start with a routine to build some consistency into your days. Wake up at the same time regardless of your schedule and get ready for your days the same way.

You can establish priority tasks the night before, like your classes, if you’re working, and when you’ll study. Set aside time for breaks, meals, and leisure time as well. Building these activities into your schedule will ensure you actually do them.

Attach times to each task and activity. For example, you have classes from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. Next, you’ll have lunch from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. After that, you have work from 1:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Then, you’ll study from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., and the rest of the night is yours.

Manage your time wisely and you can achieve everything you set out for each day.

Learn How to Stay Productive

One of the biggest challenges digital nomads run into is staying productive. All of the fun activities you can do when you travel to a new place can be distracting. It might be hard to stay motivated when you’re homesick. Technical and logistical issues can impact your productivity as well.

So, learning how to maintain peak productivity while studying and working on the road is essential.

Adhering to the routine we mentioned above will help keep you focused. Eliminate distractions while working by turning your phone on Do Not Disturb and muting social media apps. Create a designated workspace. You could also incentivize productivity by promising yourself a fun activity after you complete your work.

Secure your tech setup as well to maintain optimal productivity. Make sure you have the basics, like a good laptop set up with the proper work and school software and noise-canceling headphones.

Another crucial tool to have is a mobile hotspot. A hotspot ensures you can connect to the internet wirelessly on your mobile devices from virtually anywhere. This will come in handy when you travel internationally or to places with spotty internet connections. No matter where you are, you can still access your studies and any work you’re doing online.

Equip yourself with the right tools and techniques to stay productive as a digital nomad.

Choose Work That Aligns With Your Studies and Interests

Digital nomads are known to take many different directions with their work. You have options and can easily make a living while studying and traveling abroad. The key is ensuring the work you do doesn’t distract from your education and pull you away from who you are.

You’ll have a much better experience as a digital nomad if you choose work that aligns with your studies and interests. Rather than taking the barista job at the local cafe, work with your school to see if there are any work-study opportunities where you’re traveling.

You can also take the job search into your own hands. Search for job openings before you head to your destination through online job boards. Ask for referrals from fellow students.

Consider fully remote positions as well. There are many work-from-home jobs available that can accommodate a college student’s digital nomad lifestyle, such as being a tutor or a content writer for subjects related to your major.

Whatever work you decide to do, make sure it doesn’t take away from your studies and aligns with who you are and what you want to be.

Conclusion

Many college students are attracted to the digital nomad lifestyle because it allows them to travel freely while studying and working where they want to. As enticing as this life is, being a digital nomad isn’t void of challenges.

Make sure you understand what you’re getting into, master time management, learn to stay productive, and choose work that aligns with your studies and interests to give yourself a real chance at a successful digital nomad life.

Employment of the population: is it difficult for Russians to find work abroad
What problems do citizens of the Russian Federation face when finding employment abroad

From February to May, the number of offers from European employers for citizens of the Russian Federation fell by 25-65%.
This is evidenced by the statistics provided to Izvestia by the recruiting company Headhunter.
At the same time, Germany has simplified the issuance of work visas for Russians, and the UK has simplified the issuance of a Global Talent Visa.
As of May, Russian specialists remain in demand in such industries as IT, science and education, sales, marketing and PR, as well as art and media.
“Izvestia ” collected the stories of those who were looking for work in Europe.
As it turned out, during interviews, potential employers are not interested in the candidate ’ s opinion about what is happening in the world, but many still face problems when preparing the necessary documents.
There are also those among Russian specialists who refuse to leave, explaining this as a language barrier and an almost equal level of wages.
Despite the sanctions
Against the background of recent events in the world, Russians face problems when searching for vacancies abroad.
The political situation and sanctions against the Russian Federation change the plans of both applicants and employers.
Sometimes fears of losing a career force employees to give up their Russian citizenship.
According to Euractiv, in the Czech Republic, more than 150 Russians at the head of local companies were forced to change their passports.
63% of them became citizens of the Czech Republic, the rest - Great Britain, Cyprus, Azerbaijan and Romania.
With Russia ’ s economic ties with the West frozen, many companies are leaving Russia and not hiring employees with Russian citizenship.
According to Headhunter (HH), the number of offers from European countries to date has significantly decreased.
So, from February to May, the number of ads on the HH portal from employers from Germany decreased by 24%, France - by 25%, Spain - by 44%, Sweden - by 80%, Finland - by 68% and the UK - by 18%.
On the same background, the number of vacancies in Georgia increased by 530%, and in Armenia - by 513%.
At the same time, a number of European countries, on the contrary, are simplifying the conditions for the entry of Russians who still want to find work in Europe.
Thus, Germany has accelerated the issuance of work visas to citizens of the Russian Federation: according to the German Foreign Ministry, after February 24, Berlin has already issued more than 600 visas to Russian specialists.
The UK, in turn, from March 10 simplified the receipt of Global Talent Visa for citizens of Russia.
Its owners can both develop their own business or scientific projects, and get a job without reference to the employer.
Izvestia spoke with the Russians, who received the offer in the face of sanctions and a tense political situation.
— On February 24, I received a call from the company where I now work, and an interview was scheduled, — Marina (Dusseldorf) told Izvestia. — At the moment, I have received three offers.
All interviews were absolutely standard.
There were no issues related to the current political agenda.
According to her, the sanctions did not become an obstacle in the preparation of the necessary documents.
— In an emergency order, I was extended residence permit for a week and a half, which is unusual for the local migration service.
My nationality did not bother them.
Husband in the Embassy of Germany in Russia issued a work visa for five working days, — said the interlocutor of “Izvestia ”.
Another couple from Russia shared with Izvestia the story of moving to Germany due to the closure of the European company in which the husband previously worked.
The husband found a vacancy in the German branch of a large French bank.
He was hired without losing his job.
We waited a long time for a visit to the embassy, but in the end both received visas.
And I was also given a worker, ” Maria told “Izvestia ”.
Refusal in a soft form
According to Headhunter for May, Russian specialists remain in demand in such industries as IT (the share of such vacancies is 39%), science and education (23%), sales (21%), marketing and PR (11%), as well as art and media (5%).
To date, some EU countries have stopped issuing visas or residence permits to Russians.
For example, Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia now issue only humanitarian visas.
A year ago my husband and I moved to Tallinn.
Both of them have a dash.
In mid-February, I started looking for work in European companies, interviewing Spanish and Lithuanian employers for the position of data analyst.
However, both companies in a mild form refused me, arguing that they are afraid to hire Russians because of possible problems with documents, — told “Izvestia ” Natalia Kapitonova (asked to change the name).
After that, Natalia decided to get a job in an Estonian company where her husband works.
During all stages of the interview, no one raised the topic of my nationality.
Employers were only interested in my skills and experience.
April 1 I signed a contract, — says the interlocutor of “Izvestia ”.
According to Natalia, after the start of the military operation in Ukraine, her friends tried to get a job in Tallinn, but their interviews were put on hold due to the inability to issue the necessary documents for the move.
Some countries are even trying to lure Russian specialists to them.
Bloomberg learned at the end of April about the US plans to simplify entry for Russians with a master ’ s or doctoral degree in technology, engineering or mathematics, who studied in the US or abroad.
The agency filed the news under the headline “Biden is trying to deprive Putin of his top scientists with a visa bait. ”
The State Department and organizations specializing in the employment of citizens from other countries in the United States, did not provide comments on the requests of the editorial office.
However, not everyone is ready to move.
Backend developer Artem in an interview with Izvestia noted that the average salary of IT specialists in Russia is almost the same as in Europe.
- But there will have to face the language barrier and other psychological difficulties, - the interlocutor added.
It is worth noting that on May 27, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin said that the majority (85%) of IT specialists who had previously left Russia had returned.
