Now Playing: Novella by Mr. Grossman

Northern Californian musician Mr. Grossman (Mark S Grossman) has announced the release of his new EP/mini-album entitled “Novella,” containing four new original tracks with a wide-ranging experimental approach. The collection also showcases the artist’s more vulnerable side, as he lyrically turns inward and channels his inner storyteller. “Novella” is best described as “stories about people dealing with the past love, needing courage, comfort, and closure.”

The eclectic Mr. Grossman turns from the political theme of his first two tracks to the personal. These four songs are about people dealing with love, past and future, looking for courage, comfort and closure. On the opening track Chana Matthews gives voice to a searing portrait of a woman burned by past relationships, daring herself to get back into the game. The second track, Escape, is like an offer of encouragement and solace to the first. The music is a mix of modern R&B and pop, with echoes of SadeSmokey Robinson and John Legend. There are also classical Easter eggs (Duruflé and Brahms) for good measure.

Stream “Novella” on Spotify.

Spending too much screen time – A Technology Study

Pros & Cons of Tech for parents and children.

Are your children spending too much screen time?

Chances are the kids are spending too much time on computers and tablets to learn and complete their homework. Technology is an integral part of our everyday lives, but it should also be in the lives of children. A new study finds that adults are giving their kids access to technology at increasingly younger ages.

Nearly 1 in 4 (24%) parents let kids play with tech when they’re 1-year-old or younger and despite the growing popularity of the “Wait Until 8th” pledge, 74% admit to exposing their children to technology by the time they turn five.

Almost 70% say their kid’s screen use has increased since 2020, and more than 1 in 10 believe screen time will continue to increase over the next year. But kids aren’t the only ones spending more time staring at screens — nearly 3 out of 5 (59%) adults recognize that their own screen time has increased since 2020, and 62% say their tech use influences their children (mostly in a negative way). 

  • 49% of parents believe their kids are addicted to technology
  • 54% admit they themselves are addicted to looking at screens
  • 22% estimate their kids spend 2 hours or less looking at screens
  • 78% believe their child stares at a screen for 3 hours or longer daily

The majority of parents (65%) agree: they want their kids looking at screens for less than 2 hours a day.

Please take a look at the full study here for more data on kids and screen time, such as the pros and cons of tech use for children.

The new line High Lights are an incredible innovation, and the perfect mix of comfort, useful tech, and affordability. The team at high beams crammed much of tech in these shoes with more still to come. Here is a list of what synching technology shoes can do:

Voice activated Head light system: One single light, is super powerful and discreet. Simply say “lights on”, and the lights come on and shine up to 50 feet with 180 degree radius.

Fall Notification: A series of built-in gyros also other sensors, trigger a fall alert if the shoes are at irregular positions for a time. A pressure sensor in the sole lets the shoes know if the wearer is in the shoes or not. The shoes vibrate and the lights start to blink to alert the wearer. If the shoe receives no response from the wearer, the shoes make a decision. Once the shoe determines a fall has occurred, it takes action.

Alert Messaging: Once a fall has been detected, the shoes send messages to the contacts that have been programmed into the app. included in the message is a location map.

Follow Up Phone Call: If the shoes receive no response from the wearer or the messaging, they start calling the people in the app. If there is still no change…alarm is issued and last text At this point the shoes trigger the phone alarm (via the app) to each person the phone app list, and last text is sent.

Has Tinder changed Casual Dating?

Tinder Dating App and Friends with Benefits

The advent of new technology, along with the increasing demands of everyday life, has paved the way for an influx of casual dating websites and apps, which have changed the way we connect, interact and date potential partners.

Flirting and dating used to mean catching the eye of a male or female from across the bar, finding common ground with a friend of a friend at a party, or attending an organized speed dating event. Yet it would seem that the excitement of meeting your date face-to-face is a distant memory. 

Technology

Today, people are glued to their phones, tablets and computer screens. Flirting online without physical face-to-face interaction has become the norm, signaled by a new generation of singletons who use technology in all aspects of their life and know no different.

Today, it would seem that technology now plays an influential role in shaping the way we practice the fine art of flirting.  By simply logging into an app, users can reach thousands of potential partners and flirt until their heart is content, without actually having to meet in person. The casual dating website maybe a concept that is bizarre to many, yet considered normal to the youth of today and even an older generation who have been quick to jump on the bandwagon.

Online Dating

Online dating is a phenomenon that has swept the nation and a craze that has hit the headlines for changing the way people connect with potential partners. Tinder, Plenty of fish, and Uniform Dating are just some of the UK’s most popular online dating sites. But the question is – have sites such as Tinder changed causal dating?

In a world that continues to be driven and influenced by new and evolving online platforms and apps, dating apps have become part of people’s lives, especially for those who wouldn’t have necessarily found the time to go out and meet someone. Using casual dating sites such as Tinder allows you to prowl your options, anywhere and at anytime.

Tinder

People use Tinder worldwide. Known as one of the most popular casual dating apps, it has proven influential and successful in matching thousands of people yet it still divides the nation when it comes to questioning whether it should replace traditional forms of casual dating.

Accessible to people of all ages, Tinder is both simple and easy to use, instantly connecting you with potential matches based on their sex, age and the area in which they live. Genius or what?

All you need to do is sieve through the profile pictures that appear on your screen based on your chosen preference – swipe right if you find them attractive and swipe left if you are not attracted to them. And you don’t even need to swipe – hit heart in the right corner if you find them attractive and x in the left corner, if you are not attracted to them. It’s kind of like online shopping but for your future partner!

A Waiting Game

The next step is simply a waiting game. If the person whose profile you swiped right does the same in return, you’ll receive a notification saying that it’s a match! Then all that is left to do is break the ice by messaging them online!

Getting started is quick and simple too. All you need to do is choose your best profile picture and write a small paragraph about yourself covering what you like to do in your spare time and preferences when it comes to that first date.

The hype surrounding the trend has even made the headlines. With surveys stating that we have become a nation of Tinder addicts, the question of whether Tinder has changed casual dating is certainly warranted. Some people are spending up to 2 hours a day, swiping in hope of finding a match!

Long Term?

As technology evolves at an increasing rate, it was always going to be inevitable that virtual online dating and flirting was going to make an appearance at some point. After all, most of our essential daily tasks we complete online ,so why not find a potential partner? 

And believe it or not, more and more people are actually finding their lifelong partners online.  But has Tinder changed causal dating? It would seem so. With over 1.2 billion Tinder users worldwide, its popularity speaks for itself and suggests that it has changed the way we connect, interact and date potential partners.

Love it or hate it, Tinder is here to stay.
