Let's Talk Tech
I don’t like bezel-less designs for phones. They’re pretty, but I don’t think they’re very practical. Lately, I’ve also run into a problem.

The smartphone as we understand it today is a creation only ten years in the making, but over that decade it rapidly reached a critical saturation point. For many consumers, a phone is their primary media consumption tool, and these pocket computers can supply uninterrupted entertainment all day, with little need for a break.
At the same time, we are starting to see some disturbing emerging trends in health and etiquette. One trend to watch, increasing numbers of teens and young adults experiencing significant hearing loss.
I had the pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Alison Grimes, director of Audiology and Newborn Hearing at UCLA, to discuss some of the misconceptions surrounding hearing loss, the current state of research as to what might be causing this damage, and to ask for her best practices in protecting your hearing.

NO MORE NOTCHES! I don’t care that I CAN get used to a uni-brow cutting into my phone screen. I SHOULDN’T HAVE to get used to a screen cut out. As the iPhone X has sold relatively well, how can we stop copycat manufacturers from forcing us all to adopt a TERRIBLE selfie camera adaption?

ZTE Axon M Review! The most experimental phone of the year! Are two screens really better than one? Following the success of the Axon 7, ZTE took an unexpected turn with their top phone for 2017. Large phablet phones are all the rage. Big screens are excellent for media and entertainment. Is a foldable phone even better? We spent some time putting the Axon M through its paces, and now it’s time to share our thoughts!
Just for fun, this was my favorite shot from the review…

My segment on unlocked phones is live on Fox 11’s site! Where we use tiny LOCKERS, to talk about UNLOCKING savings, by buying UNLOCKED phones! The Price is Right theme song was also a nice touch.
