in the presidential race and now has an edge in the polls, but here on the ground in michigan, the race is far from over. up next to our tech shows shift ways the pros and cons of a social media band for children. thanks for watching the thing and feel the same way you expect and more different things from life when your parents i just want to pursue was that's my thought. or you think your kid is 2 different, risky, irresponsible, reasonable stopping port is this nonsense? i want my son to the doctor, joe in the canal. it's time to to get in your generation with a sleep asked and then when generations mash watch now on duty and b,

w don't, you mentioned this kind of fun. it feels like therapy, the should kids be banished from using social media? it's a lot of debates. the truth is, the platforms that can have a negative effect on children. but what about the over the top? also on the show, the your opinion is creating a digital twin of the what's the reason for this on how can a digital twin help us to make smart decisions as well learning with virtual reality be the future we um makes it possible to go on virtual field trips to ancient cities in history class or conduct the dangerous experiments in science. could this be a realistic option for schools? these are the topics that are moving the tech world. take, cook access denied. you tube access denied. snapshots. access denied scientists

worldwide calling for a social media bond for kids and politicians are considering it. does anyone send the child into the jungle of 510 or 12 french president and manual not from set in a speech in april, this yet? today for several hours a day, we opened the door to the jungle platform, said the french president would welcome an age restriction of 15 years. the social media uses. how could an age restriction on social media work? let's take a look. kids on social media. the downsides, using the service is associated with significant mental health home to other lessons. a warning label like this is what u. s. physician and such in general does that must be, wants to impose on social media platforms. well must be, is just one of many outspoken critics of kids social media use globally. according to research the 5 main risk. number one, cyber bullying surveys indicate that constant negative interactions come home mental health leading to anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts. number 2,

body image issues, social media often promot unrealistic get this done that's causing body image problems, especially among young uses. number 3, addiction platforms are designed to keep muses engage needing to excess of screen time that can disrupt sleep, performance at school, and sports. number 4, inappropriate content despite i felt as i'm content motivation minus can spill and count to explicit materials violence and harmful ideologies. they also prime targets for advertises and number 5 side the grooming, despite promises to improve safety. social media remains a tool for predators to approach children and sexually exploit them. using social media certainly has its downsides, but somebody expects argue that a bond is not the solution. they can also see how social media can benefit kids. here are the main upsides. digital literacy, navigating social media helps kids develop essential digital skills advertisements

our increasingly digital was connection. social platforms allow minus to stay connected with friends and family, especially those far away to instant messaging, video calls and social updates. information platforms like you to provide numerous learning results is he's got access tutorials to. and so the groups participate in online discussions. creativity, social media offers a space for kids to express themselves creatively, sharing, outlook, writing music videos. they can receive feedback and encouragements from kids, which can boost that confidence and creativity. finding children from social media platforms, what deprived them of these opportunities, some argue it wouldn't even infringe on the fundamental digital rights. and besides that, how could a bottom look to be clear? tech talk instagram and other platforms do have age limits. but most online age verification tools are very easy to get around just by entering a wrong data. but there are 3 more sophisticated measures that social media

platforms might use to prevent children from using the services. id verification use us need to upload a scan or photo of a government issued id like a passport. the system checks the authenticity and age detailed against a database, spatial age estimation, type, web, or smartphone. com takes a photo of and use a who's trying to log in. i software then extract patton's, compassed those buttons to those unknown ages and estimate fees is age. it denies access is being used that doesn't meet the age threshold. parental consent, i suppose, could be obliged to in full strict age limit. in this scenario, a parent's approval might be required to download a social media app. for example, these approaches could work if parents platforms and regulators like governments, what kinds of had. and if these are privacy can be respected. one thing is special kids only platforms have not been successful. instagram kids was put on hold in

2021 of to intense backlash. critics argue children with being less that and then even more vulnerable position than on instagram itself. and you shouldn't kids, a housing gain and especially trustworthy reputation is that many parents find the amount nature of ad placed on the designated children platforms. g, b, s i for one thing, social media companies have to step up the game when it comes to kids safety. but what a complete brand makes sense. what's your opinion on this? let us know. floods, droughts, while fi is extreme weather events are becoming more and more comments. so what exactly will happen to use it to your neighborhood and your house to help us understand i'm calling about this extra climate change. the new has launched a gigantic project, a digital twins of trying to us this tool twin. what is that? again, a digital twin is a virtual representation of an object or a system in mirror as the real world counterparts. visual twins are designed to be realistic at

a i is used to simulate various scenarios. those are meant to help us make better decisions. the is project destination of destiny could, for example on the question is like, is this the right place to build my house? what else can we use? destiny for? various simulations will be accessible through but that's the new platform. the i could show you things like what might happen when a flood hits your neighborhood or how different time that scenario is could affect tourism in your region. if you're a farmer, you might wanna check how the climate will affect to harvest the destiny platform of diseases and develop as tools to build the own specific scenarios. right now there are only a few services up and running as the data is still being added. the goal is to have a full digital replica of us at all. it systems by 2030. so how would it be built? the coal is a mass of data base called data like it compiles environmental data from major providers. like to hear a pin space agency, the observation institute, copernicus,

and many more. whenever scientists run a simulation on the digital twin data bridge is by the model as also sped back into the database. by the way, it's not only the you who is developing a digital twin upon it, the chip making and video also has one, according to them tie ones, government plans to use that model to predict type food. but there's not only digital twins of our planet, this kind of data model can be used in all kinds of contents. what else could digital twins be useful? yeah, 3 examples. number one, making surgery is safe that a digital twin of a human body or a specific organ can help test procedures before an actual surgery. simulating surgeries on a digital twin could help assess the risks, making the process much safe. number 2, making your city more livable with visual twins of cities, other kind of contest, how greening and building structure effects and quality temperature. a wind,

for example. this kind of information can help decide when to but shops, schools, or roads. number 3, making trains more punctual. gemini is national railway company butcher fund is creating a digital twin of their round that what simulating changes to train result schedules could help predict the consequences, the travelers and minimize disruptions given the number of delays to german trains . i think a lot of passengers would be grateful and showed digital twins. i meant to maximize efficiency and minimize risks. however, they require loads of computing power, currently available only to big institutions. this is the computer that runs and videos digital as by the way, but who knows in the future we might old carry out own digital twin and i'll pockets when we visit, the doctor will not be amazing. haven't dreamt visiting mobs rather than just watching a space documentary on an old tv in class as well, with virtual reality, that's not possible. well, almost normal schools are exploring ways to integrate this tech into that

curriculum. tech company meta has now announced a new education product for it's quest devices, but will be in classrooms really become a thing. that's the best thing, big on virtual reality and education, and a blog posts earlier this year, they went through the aspect about the possibilities of all the ways in which many of us technologies like virtual mix, augmented reality, could prove to be transformative. the potential they have education is one of the most excited about promising to empower teachers with access to education specific apps on the ability to manage multiple devices at the same time, which would remove the hassle of preparing each student's headset separately. meanwhile, products from other companies like costs b, o avo x off already on the market. and microsoft has long childhood as hollands as an educational tool, but went on with the well, here's a 3 main upside. first meet students would be able to see and experience things,

but otherwise wouldn't be possible. tired of reading about dinosaurs. why don't just walk alongside them via you can visit any time in history, any place on a, any other planet. you get the idea. secondly, emission can make learning more interesting and deepen understanding. a teacher from the u. k. experimenting would be ah said this is a retention is fantastic once they've seen some things out, remember it. and there's a deeper understanding because they can manipulate and object they can see it from all sides. they can see how it works. you can, you know, have a big beating houghton. you can see the flow of blood through it. and you can understand to this chain doesn't devolve this religion through the heart. so things like that. and thirdly, they can also provide a safe environment for science experiments that would be dangerous in real life. overall spattering schools, the costs of safety measures and the tension we've damaged equipment. all right? sounds pretty good so far. but the, our cost some downsides. the biggest total at the moment is cost less of quest. 3

starts at around $550.00 a year is a piece. then you've got to buy the apps on top of that. schools often have a very limited budget as it is. and certainly not every student is family can afford to buy though and headset. that means that this tech is going to be exclusively available to privately funded schools. most won't be able to afford individual headsets for every single student. also, that's already a discussion about kids getting too much screen time. i can't imagine every parent would be happy adding a headset into the mix. besides that, there are also concerns and beyond learning be detrimental to human connection on the simple but important as with any digital tools, but kindly, technical issues is going to interrupt the learning process and calls frustration among students and teachers. so kind of the other thing really be an option as well . some schools and universities already experimenting with the tech such as letting

the school we looked at just now on new mexico state university in the us back criminology students are diving into virtual crime scene. learn how to investigate them out with tech, try and mess. so now pushing into education will develops as might be motivated to build educational apps for me. it definitely sounds like a great opportunity to kind of get out of dusty classrooms and make learning more engaging. but until the price has come down, this will actually only be an option for a rich minority. how did you feel about v i headsets in the classroom? did you wish this technology had been available while you were in school? let us know. that's all from me today. by and see you next time. the respect is all about. walk in waves and texting. make sure that's

right, sandra, respecting they just studying aids. i mean being up to date with karen tardy is technologies. i'm trying to eat co way of life, the environment magazine, the co africa next on d w. hi, everyone. can i, can i joined the idea of? well, 1st of all, this is special, you know, shutting off. i strongly agree to the well need to young people from all over the continents dedicated themselves to improving online. i use my walk to talk about providers in my work talking about culture. i have with my bill. oh wow. i love it . the 77 percent retained 60 minutes on the bill to get ready for an exciting auburn toyota price. hi, i was shopping and i'm ready to dive into the hands of human to of the q one. do

you have you have a one dodge, so do you need a quote on this? we've got a response on the, on expected side to side in the when it comes to environmental protection. one of the biggest challenges is how to balance competing interests. all too often there is a conflict between nature conservation out economic goals bought, taking auction on climate change, come and look new opportunities if it is done right. so welcome to go off because i am a sun drug of homes that tween.
