We've all held on to things like CDs and DVDs for too long. As you ring in the new year, there's no better time to start tossing out the stuff you are hoarding, and move your life online. Digitizing your life is easier than you may think.
Rene Ritchie, Managing Editor at iMore, shares some tips on how to bring your life into the 21st century. Everything from books to CDs has a digital version. With a few inexpensive subscriptions, you can access all of the content that is cluttering your shelves at home.
For music, Ritchie says Apple Music and Spotify offer more than enough content to replace your CDs and casettes. Both cost $10 per month and have similar catalogs of music.
Fresh off of receiving an innovation award at ShowStoppers @ CES 2022, Iasha King, co-founder of SOLO Secure joined Cheddar to explain how its platforms, the GoSOLO app and the SOLO Backpackpacker device, helps improve personal safety for users. "People just don't know what's going on around them, so it's very important that you're using smart technology to provide them with what's going on," she said. "For example, if there has been an increase in robberies in a neighborhood, that's something that our technology would inform a user."
Ellen Fitzsimmons-Craft, assistant professor of psychiatry at Washington University School of Medicine, joins Cheddar News to discuss how chatbots can help prevent eating disorders and the research that uncovered these findings.
Markets closed the day mixed, and well off their lows of the day following a market meltdown earlier in the session. The Nasdaq staged a comeback late in the day, even amid ongoing worries about the Federal Reserve raising interest rates. Doug Flynn, certified financial planner and co-founder of Flynn Zito Capito, joined Cheddar News' Closing Bell to discuss the markets' close and what's driving the major indexes.
