What to do with Old Cell Phones
Eliminating waste is a critical step in establishing a circular economy, and a key component in achieving this is mobile device management. Recent data shows mobile devices to be the most used piece of technology in the world, with 96.1 percent of the global population owning at least one mobile device and 95.8 percent owning smartphones. And every year newer models are released, leaving millions of people to retire perfectly useful devices. The question is, what does one do with an old mobile device?
Now that the chaos of Black Friday is behind us, consumers have moved onto the next big thing: Cyber Monday. Amidst smartphone sales and deals on the latest headphones, turkey and stuffing aren’t the only holiday leftovers lying around. Many tech lovers took advantage of the shopping holiday and now find themselves with old IT hardware ready for retirement. If you find yourself in a similar situation, HOBI encourages you to consider recycling your unwanted electronics in order to help eliminate toxic waste, and to keep the environment healthy.
Doctors are Hesitant to Adopt Medical Imaging AI
The medical field may arguably be the most stressful career path, and during the last few years the world has seen increasing amounts of workers leaving the industry. A Washington Post/Kaiser Family Foundation survey recently showed that during the pandemic, 1,327 front-line healthcare workers revealed that medical burnout had reached epidemic proportions and the answer may be Artificial Intelligence.
Digital currency has become widely popular in the last decade, especially in recent years for its convenience and lack of government regulation. During the pandemic, a large portion of society turned to cash apps such as Venmo, Paypal or Zelle in order to pay for food, groceries, and other necessities, and crypto currency became more popular as well. However, as many have heard by now, there was recently a major crypto-crash.
