There is news that makes you smile. To send you its positive vibes, the editorial staff of L’Éclaireur has decided to share three good news stories each month that have marked digital and cultural news.
1 Greta Gerwig, the filmmaker of all records
This is the event of the month of July and summer: Barbie with Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling landed on cinema screens on July 19. With Oppenheimer, the biopic regarding the father of the atomic bomb directed by Christopher Nolan, the existential crisis of the Mattel doll splits the global box office. However, it is Barbie’s initiatory journey through the Real World that stands out.

Driven by a formidable marketing campaign, Greta Gerwig’s satirical comedy swept around the world where it earned $ 356 million in revenue from its first weekend, the best start of 2023.
In addition, the record score at the box office, the feature film allowed Greta Gerwig to enter the history of cinema by offering the best launch across the Atlantic for a director. She thus succeeds Patty Jenkins for Wonder Woman (2017) which had totaled $103 million, and Anna Boden, co-director of the first Captain Marvel (2019), which opened at $153 million.

2 Diversity is affirmed in EA Sports FC 24
The announcement of the successor of FIFA 23 was eagerly awaited. On July 18, Electronic Arts, its publisher, finally officially presented EA Sports FC 24. As rumors had already reported for a few weeks, a real little revolution will accompany the game’s release on September 29th. If the footballers are now an integral part of the sports license, they were previously confined to their own mode of play. Within this new license, they invest the Ultimate Team mode, the most popular.
This diversity will not have failed to astonish or arouse strong reactions within the community. However, its developers have affirmed their choice as obvious, in a mode that they themselves describe as “fanciful”, which therefore goes in the direction of a logical evolution. In addition to a breath of fresh air on the famous football game, this arrival will also be a huge spotlight on women’s football, now fully associated with this license, so far best-selling worldwide each year.

3 Blobs to reduce our electronic waste
The majority of digital pollution is related to the hardware itself: computers, smartphones, tablets, etc. In addition, a possible shortage of rare metals in the decades to come worries manufacturers. Jasmine Lu and Pedro Lopes, two scientists from the University of Chicago presented this month an original way to solve these problems: using “blobs”, single-celled living beings, to replace certain components.
During their research, they succeeded in integrating a blob capable of conducting electricity into a watch, in order to connect the main mechanism to the heartbeat sensor. The blob should, however, be fed a mixture of oats and water, like a tiny pet. According to the researchers, this aspect is very interesting since the people who tested the watch were more attached to it and took more care of it than if it were an ordinary object without any trace of being alive. Who knows, maybe such devices can even encourage users to keep them for longer instead of jumping on the new model as soon as it comes out.
