rsbartram | 8 years ago | on: Is the Answer to Phone Addiction a Worse Phone?

Possibly an option to reduce the amount of time you spend on the phone. Example, I moved and lived from Los Angeles, CA to Lima Peru for 3 years without a cell phone. It was a great 3 years disconnected from constantly being connected. What ever works to cut back on your phone use is better than not cutting back. Phone addiction and digital dependence is on the rise in the U.S. and developing countries. We just covered the topic with an info-graphic. https://latechnews.org/digital-trends-2018-infographic/

Having first hand experience with the addiction epidemic in the U.S., education and rehabilitation is where 90% of all resources should be allocated. Not in the penal and policing policies, budgets or systems of influence. The website I edit raises money for a non-profit structured sober living in Los Angeles called Awakening Recovery which helps men become productive members of society after giving up any mind altering substance. https://www.awakeningrecovery.org/ https://latechnews.org/we-support/

We see DIY VR a lot within the STEAM educational programs.

Focusing this type of educational attention on children at an early age is critical for future personal and professional development.

This is what allows consumers to have a build yourself VR headset for $100.

I have covered a few early STEAM programs in the Los Angeles area.

rsbartram | 8 years ago | on: Facebook will now ask users to rank news organizations they trust

What will start fake users from leaving fake ranks? FB has no business being in the news business. FB provides gossip and entertainment.

rsbartram | 8 years ago | on: Facebook to Start Ranking News Sources Based on Trustworthiness

FB shouldn't be in the news business based in their social network business model.

I actively have business owners contacting me looking for editorial content creation to be published on my website. Good and effective use of print published press is highly effective to increase brand awareness. https://latechnews.org/

rsbartram | 8 years ago | on: Tech companies are building housing in cities across North America

I've spoken to professionals in tech construction and have indicated the same.

The reason for tech companies entering into markets like construction is the same reason for moving into other segmented markets.

Tech companies are learning how to build houses better than the current service providers can.

rsbartram | 8 years ago | on: The End of Education

No it can't be. I have prove that education still exists. If we look at education as a life long process, starting but never really stopping we would have a better educated society. LA Tech News strongly supports early and continuing education at all levels. https://latechnews.org/eric-garcetti-helps-youth-find-tech-j... https://latechnews.org/stem3-academy-open-house-november-4/

Children's Hospital Los Angeles is already using VR to help train hospital staff. As automation coupled with new technology increases we will see an increase in the health related verticals adapting to new cutting edge tech. https://latechnews.org/childrens-hospital-la-vr-technology/

rsbartram | 8 years ago | on: The newest vehicle for attracting and retaining Millennial talent in the workplace

I agree that student loan assistance is important to understand.

My question is this.

How can a college educated and graduate not have the basic finance skills already in place to understand the impact on their future?

Why does someone who just spend 4 plus years earning a degree still not have the capability or understanding of long term student debt?

Thanks Rich

Not sure how or why AMP is better at delivering a better web experience to anyone than a properly and efficiently designed website.

rsbartram | 8 years ago | on: Brain Surgery in 3-D: Coming Soon to the Operating Theater

Children's Hospital Los Angeles has been using VR and AR to train staff rather than using the old outdated and expensive mannequins. This tech will be used more and more in the operating room and healthcare practioners. https://latechnews.org/childrens-hospital-la-vr-technology/

Surveillance case studies in urban environment have shown to decrease crime rates and more importantly violent crimes. Under the proper circumstances this type of citywide surveillance can be a benefit to modern societies.

rsbartram | 8 years ago | on: VR, AR, MR: Which Reality Technology to Choose for Your Business

Many businesses are using VR, AR and or MR. Petersen Automotive Museum is using Hololens for Ford GT MR experience. A company like Payscout is assisting retailers like Body Language Sportswear with VR retailing and VR payments with a partnership with Visa. Payscout has now launched their VR platform to help non-profits with donations by assisting in creating more engaging giving campaigns through the use of VR.

rsbartram | 8 years ago | on: Ask HN: Do you reply to recruiter emails?

Usually not. Most are generic and or automated. If I am contacted in a way that makes it feel it is a unique and personal contact then yes. Otherwise no.
