forces to establish the Center for Humane Technology, a new organization

social media users. The new center, along with the children's advocacy
group Common Sense, has announced a campaign to help change the social
media model.

Intel's Smart Peepers Look Smart, Too
Intel has designed a pair of smart glasses that won't make you look like
a hopeless geek. Called "Vaunt," the peepers, which are still in the
prototype phase, look like ordinary glasses, save for a faint, red
glimmer that occasionally appears on the right lens. Information sent to
the glasses appear to be displayed on a screen but in reality is beamed
to the retina of a wearer's eye.

Amazon's Soaring Healthcare Ambition: The Promise and the Problem
Healthcare is a mess in the United States. Consumers pay more and get
less than in most other developed countries. Strong comprehensive
healthcare is unaffordable for most without substantial help, which is
why putting the burden on the government really does not work. If people
cannot afford something, individually aggregating it under what amounts
to a tax is not really any better.
