WORLD NEWS ROUNDUP: SEPTEMBER 16TH, 2000.
Sep. 15th, 2023 01:16 pmA school district in Nevada, located in the western United States, saw all of their schools fitted with brand new laptops for all students and teachers in a large donation made by CyberConnect Corporation.
An undertaking so significant required coordination on all levels, as schools were brought together to hold their very own set up day for the laptops. IT workers walked the halls with teachers to help ensure that all laptops were set up to the school network and that each student could access all of the programs they needed for the betterment of their education.
The superintendent of the school district, Frank Lee Gaye, expressed his sincere gratitude to CyberConnect Corporation for the gift. "It's been really exciting to see the faces of all the kids light up when they open up their new laptops. I'm really thankful, you know, to CC Corp for donating all of these to us and for bringing their own tech people out here to help us set these up. After all, we're teachers and not all of us are good when it comes to connecting all these computers to the internet."
It will take a few days to make sure that everything is running smoothly, but the teachers and administration in this school district know that a few days of chaos will be worth the lifetime of learning opportunities that students will gain from their new laptops.
Much in the same way that the internet has impacted careers and the way we shop, it has also had a profound affect on the way we socialize. While many make friends on the internet in this day and age, many also find love.
Dating is difficult enough in real life that quite a few young adults are beginning to find that taking the pressure off of being your best self and chatting with people online to really get to know them before meeting is a much better alternative to something like speed dating.
This growing trend has seen a boom in spaces like chatrooms and websites built for meeting new people and discussing your interests. Some online games have even begun hosting events or creating clubs to facilitate meeting potential romantic partners, going so far as to even include marriage as a special event in the game. These methods have proven popular enough that now 1 out of every 5 young couple says that they met online.
Does this mean we'll eventually enter a world where people only meet each other online? It's not impossible, but bar and club owners across the world say they still see people making an effort to go out and meet potential romantic partners. It looks like some things will never change after all.
There has been a lot of buzz recently around a new vitamin that has hit the shelves with the primary ingredient of snail mucin, along with minerals derived from a variety of stones, simply named Mucin.
Clinically proven to help relieve eyestrain and neck and back pain, many are excited at the prospect of this product effectively battling the symptoms that too much computer use can cause. Experts have been looking for ways to alleviate some of the issues that arise from excessive computer use for the past several years, and many believe that Mucin just might be able to fix some of the problems that they have begun to see on the rise.
Don't be too eager to go out and buy it, though, as only luxury retailers are currently selling this hot ticket item. With a price of $250 USD a bottle, its promises come with a big upfront investment. Even so, doctors and online reviewers have said that this might be worth the hefty price for those who are experiencing a lot of eye and neck issues as a result of their work on computers.
For now, those who aren't willing to take on that extra bill are able to watch the myriad of review videos on various forums and social media sites to sate their curiosity.
