April 28, 2022 by Matt Santos 631 Comments

From checking the class schedule to finding out the arrival time of the bus, all the information that could be found with just a few touches every day is alienated.

According to a study by the ICT Statistics and Information Research Office of the Information and Communication Policy Institute, the smartphone ownership rate in their 20s is 99.8%. For college students, smartphones are a necessity that has melted deep into their … [Read more...] about Mobile phone syndrome, if you can’t avoid it, prevent it

Are social media influencers concerned for their safety due to what they post online?

October 23, 2019 by Ciarra Cortese 36 Comments

Social media influencers get paid to put their lives online, but is it worth it once their safety becomes a concern? Popular social media influencers have had to deal with fans stalking them and showing up at their houses. The fans do this in hopes of meeting their favorite influencer. They don’t consider the boundaries they are crossing which put these influencers in danger. These social media influences consider their online presence as a part of their career. With such a large audience online, they are given many opportunities that others without a following would not get to experience. Dante Paul, owner of the furniture company West Coast Coffins, considers his account to be a … [Read more...] about Are social media influencers concerned for their safety due to what they post online?

January 16, 2019 by Andrea Engelhorn 28 Comments

In his novel, Prisoners of Technocracy, David Poland offers a chance to experience a future of technology that could be our reality in as little as 20 years. The legacy of 20th-century technology is expanding rapidly and includes the creation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robots. It is almost guaranteed that AI will be optimized enough in the future to be placed in robots that assist in our everyday lives.

The new Karma drone from GoPro

February 19, 2018 by Ricardo Orozco 244 Comments

Updated Feb. 23, 2018 to reflect GoPro's current involvement with the Karma drone.   Now is the perfect time to make a purchase if you are looking to buy a drone for photography or videography. Considering GoPro is already in the camera business, they decided to take a different route and in 2016 tried to compete with companies in the drone market such as DJI. However, GoPro ended up recalling their Karma drones and decided to release a new and updated version. It performed better, but the fact that it had the stigma from the first released version did not benefit sales. I still think the Karma drone is a steal with the price being at 599 dollars. The Karma has … [Read more...] about The new Karma drone from GoPro
