Everyday Tech

Host(s): Abram Nanney, Shane Chism, and Sabir Abdul-Haqq (www.yourebs.biz)Topic: When does technology go too far? Where do people draw the line? In recent weeks, it seems we’ve found some people’s limits with technology and the world of AI. A new videogame has been accused of using AI art for its assets. There was a chatbot campaigning for president. AI being used maliciously to create explicit images. And also, a possibly unfortunate end to important telecommunications legislation. What does all this mean going forward?Email your tech questions and opinions to: everydaytech@mpbonline.org Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Host(s): Abram Nanney, Shane Chism, and Sabir Abdul-Haqq (www.yourebs.biz)Topic: Today on Everyday Tech, we’re returning to the Versus Series where we pit two products or services against each other and see what the pros and cons or advantages and disadvantages of each are. A popular debate in the gaming community is over which console people prefer, Xbox or Playstation. In order to help our audience be better informed, we wanna take the time today to compare and contrast the two in several areas. Previously when we tried to bring this subject up, we had some callers call in to share the love for Nintendo Switch and other consoles, which are great, but today we just wanna talk Xbox vs. PlayStation. Email your tech questions and opinions to: everydaytech@mpbonline.org Hosted on Acast.

Host(s): Abram Nanney, Shane Chism, and Sabir Abdul-Haqq (www.yourebs.biz)Topic: Yesterday was a big day for many high school students across the state. The Mississippi High School Activities Association crowned the Esports State Champions at the University of Southern Mississippi on December 12. If you aren’t aware – an Esport, or electronic sport, is an activity where competitors battle against each other in a videogame to see who is the best. Today I’m gonna take you through my first experience of being at an esports event in-person at the Mississippi High School State Championships. The students combatted each other in three different videogames: Super Smash Brothers, Madden NFL, and Rocket League.

Players started their day with a semifinals matchup, and if they won, advanced to the finals, the victors then earning the title of State Champion.While Madden and Smash Brothers are available for purchase, Rocket L

That’s approximately 85% of Americans, and with the direction of our current cultural advancement, we can only assume that those numbers are gonna go up, but what ever happened to just buying a dvd. Or a vinyl record. Or a book.
