The war in Ukraine has triggered a catastrophic humanitarian crisis and threatened the stability of geopolitical relations.

Economic output in the Europe and Central Asia (ECA) region is forecast to contract by more than 4.1% in 2022—the second major shock and regional recession in two years. Moreover, the war has added to mounting concerns of a sharp global growth slowdown.

Ukraine’s economy was hit hardest and is expected to shrink by an estimated 45.1% this year, although the magnitude of the contraction will depend on the duration and intensity of the war.

Mark Zuckerberg: The Future of Facebook is Telepathy

Mark Zuckerberg just dropped a big clue about Facebook's future. The social network's founder and CEO believes that one day, we'll be able to share our thoughts directly -- brain to brain --using technology. "You'll just be able to think of something and your friends will immediately be able to experience it too if you'd like," Zuckerberg said. "This would be the ultimate communication technology." He made his comments during a public Q&A session on hisFacebook (FB, Tech30) page on Tuesday afternoon. The response was addressed to a user who asked about Facebook's long-term plans. In the past decade, the company has expanded the way users communicate on the platform. First there were plain profile pages. Next came comments, and then the Wall, Likes, Groups and News Feed.
