In our latest tech news roundup episode of 'Today in Tech', Mike Elgan and I discuss whether it's OK to say that the Apple Vision Pro is a flop, our desire as humans to eventually become cyborgs, and whether Mark Zuckerberg is "king of the millennials". Take a break from political news and watch our tech news roundup! https://lnkd.in/gUuPtnd4

I understand the power of social media as it has helped me thrive as a small business. I put myself out there, I expect to get pushback, criticism and negativity. I can process it and move on with my objectives. However, when I see Kids immersed in their screens when a “human interaction” opportunity could possibly help them more, I stop and think about what could, should we do as a “free” society? Are they able to process the negativity, comparisons and “fake” lives on line? So, what is the proper balance between technology and human? We do know this - technology is rarely defeated - it pushes forward regardless. To me it will be what we decide (society, countries, parents, voters), we want for our children(the most vulnerable), minimize the risks while allowing tech to help make their lives better not worse. #mesh meshhelps.org #socialmedia #toyindustry #gamesindustry #retailindustry #toys

🌟✨ Discovering the magic in creating extraordinary experiences unfolds beyond the realm of extravagant technology. A heartwarming example lies near Boston, where Santa's Grotto at Natick Mall ingeniously utilized just three TV screens to weave an enchanting experience for the delighted children. The essence of this captivating success story? A profound understanding of what captures the hearts of kids and a generous sprinkle of creative magic. In the evolving landscape of 2024's technological wonders, it's essential to recognize that these innovations are mere tools. The real source of joy lies in crafting a clear plan, understanding your audience intimately, and infusing a touch of artsy flair into the mix. As we journey into the new year, let's carry forward this valuable lesson – that the true magic of Making Magic Moments transcends the complexity of gadgets. Instead, it lies in the artistry, creativity, and the sheer joy emanating from the beaming faces of children and adults alike. The resonance of this message is clear: it's not about the sophistication of technology; it's about creating genuine smiles that etch lasting memories. So, as we embrace the opportunities of 2024, let's embrace the wisdom that the magic unfolds not in the intricacies of tech but in the intentional craftsmanship, creativity, and the pure delight of crafting moments that linger in the hearts of those fortunate enough to experience them. 🚀🌟🎁 #magicmoments #creativity #storydoing #experiencing"

1: The Daily Struggle Every day, millions of us reach into our bags or pockets and instead of finding our charging cable ready to go, we’re greeted with a tangled mess. It’s as frustrating as it is universal. I’ve been there too many times myself, especially during my travels. This constant struggle with tangled cables was what led me to think there had to be a better way. At snapmag, we envisioned a world where your technology complements your lifestyle seamlessly, without such basic hitches. This wasn’t just about making minor improvements but tackling a widespread issue that many face daily. Welcome to my 10-day series on tackling the tangled mess of cables.

The #Apple Vision Pro gives a glimpse into the exciting future that lies ahead. Although the hardware itself is great, the current form may not be suitable for everyone. I am keen to see the technology evolve to a point where it can be incorporated into smaller forms, such as eyeglasses. Imagine being able to map screens of tasks, dashboards, announcements, and other information around the walls of your workplace. This presents tremendous opportunities for #digitalsignage and screen industries. It's an exciting time to be alive, and I can't wait to see what Apple has in store for the next generation of Apple Vision Pro. It's also fascinating to see other companies like #meta and #google competing in this race. #screensthatcommunicate ScreenCloud

One of Jack Appleby's predictions for 2024! As a Gen X'er, I gotta say I love this. I agree wholeheartedly that Gen X'ers (and, ahem, Boomers) bring expertise that just can't be faked. I love this for us: The rise of Golden Creators. From Martha Stewart on the cover of Sports Illustrated to the Golden Bachelor becoming a cultural phenomenon, we are seeing the platforming of older creators and celebrities. Older creators bring a certain level of expertise, authenticity and depth that younger creators can not offer. This will be fueled by the authenticity, expertise, and depth that older creators bring to the platform, with Gen-Z and Gen-Alpha emerging as their primary audience. #2024predictions #genx #experience #authenticity

A little midweek inspiration for us all and a throwback to Apple’s iconic and timeless campaign “Think Different”. https://lnkd.in/eRA5NeAG   This wasn't merely a slogan; it was a tagline for change—a call to action for the innovators, the dreamers, and the rebels to think outside the box.   Today as we navigate the ever-changing landscape of the “New Communications Economy” this message “Think Different” couldn’t be more relevant.   To do this we need to venture outside our comfort zones and be remarkable. With a “Think Different Mindset” we keep pushing our limits and defying the expected. In today's communication-driven world, your message is your most valuable asset. Make it meaningful. Lead with intention, inspire with fresh ideas, stand out and connect in ways never seen before.   #ThinkDifferent #BrandInnovation #InspireChange #Breakthroughthinking EssenceMediacom
