Digital Detox: What is it, and why do you need it?
Our attitudes towards the digital world are very contradictory. Many researches show that most of us consider the Internet the best source of information and knowledge. Moreover, online presence increases the chances of finding a job and facilitates most everyday activities. Almost 80% of teenagers develop their interests and passions in the digital world. 60.2% feel calm and happy when using the web. However, this is only one face of the digital world.
On the other hand, 2 out of 3 Internet users declare they consider themselves addicted to technology. Over half of Americans spend between 3 to 5 hours on their devices ...

High Court Approves California ’s Pork Production Standards
Walter OlsonThe Supreme Court has ruled that California may prohibit the in ‐state sale of pork raised out of state by methods it deems inhumane, rejecting a constitutional challenge raised by pork producers who had argued that the law would badly disrupt the economies of other states. In so doing the Court appears to have significantly whittled down the scope of the so‐called Dormant Commerce Clause, a clause that has been drawn skepticism from Justices including the late Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, and Neil Gorsuch. While the new decision is a complex one with multiple opinions, it appears to give the g...

What Are The Symptoms Of High Blood Pressure?
Conclusion
To summarize, hypertension is frequently unrecognized until it becomes severe, making it one of the major reasons for death worldwide.
Unfortunately, many people are unaware of their condition and fail to recognize the symptoms. This lack of awareness can lead to serious health consequences, particularly as hypertension affects approximately 1 in 3 adults worldwide.
Although high blood pressure may not cause noticeable symptoms in many cases, some signs that may indicate a person has this condition include headaches (particularly at the back of the head), dizziness, blurred vision, shortness of breath, ...

R.I.P. Newton Minow
Paul MatzkoFormer FCC Chairman Newton Minow died a few days ago and outlets dug deep into their archives to dust off their pre‐written obits for the 97‐year‐old who lived a full and eventful life. I had the opportunity to be on a panel with Minow back in 2021, which was a somewhat surreal experience given how few of the people that I covered in mybook on broadcasting in the 1960s are still around. I have a few thoughts about his legacy to share with you.Let ’s start with a positive note. Minow often had solid foresight. For instance, he was right when hetold JFK that launching the first telecom...

Would You Picket Over AI?
By KIM BELLARD
I’m paying close attention to strike by the Writers Guild Of America (WGA), which represents “Hollywood” writers. Oh, sure, I’m worried about the impact on my viewing habits, and I know the strike is really, as usual, about money, but what got my attention is that it’s the first strike I’m aware of where impact of AI on their jobs is one of the key issues.
It may or may not be the first time, but it’s certainly not going to be the last.
The WGA included this in their demands: “Regulate use of artificial intelligence on MBA-covered projects: AI can’t write or rewrite literary ...
