It's almost the end of 2024, and I'm going to "jump-start" this conversation, by renewing a previous question about the possibilities of becoming a professional creative or person who makes a living wage from being a working artist, musician, writer, etc. This is an important area of inquiry, so it's my intention to do research, and provide a path forward that may enable creative types to have a chance for success in such an endeavor.

The surgeon general called for a warning label on apps like TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. Four design firms imagine how it could work.

As we’re beginning to quantify exactly how bad social media is for public health, politicians are coming for Big Algorithm. Just this week, the U.S. surgeon general Dr. Vivek Murthy began a campaign to put an official warning label on social media, much like we see on tobacco and alcohol products.

Abstract
One of the fundamental components of the United Nations’ sustainable development 2030 agenda is quality education. It aims to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education for all. Digital technologies have emerged as an essential tool to achieve this goal. These technologies are simple to detect emissions sources, prevent additional damage through improved energy efficiency and lower-carbon alternatives to fossil fuels, and even remove surplus greenhouse gases from the environment. Digital technologies strive to decrease or eliminate pollution and waste while increasing production and efficiency. These technologies have shown a powerful impact on the education system. The recent COVID-19 Pandemic has further institutionalised the applications of digital technologies in education. These digital technologies have made a paradigm shift in the entire education system. It is not only a knowledge provider but also a co-creator of information, a mentor, and an assessor. Technological improvements in education have made life easier for students. Instead of using pen and paper, students nowadays use various software and tools to create presentations and projects. When compared to a stack of notebooks, an iPad is relatively light. When opposed to a weighty book, surfing an E-book is easier. These methods aid in increasing interest in research. This paper is brief about the need for digital technologies in education and discusses major applications and challenges in education.

Based on a previous discussion from the "Digital Literacy and Cultural Exchange" Group, Abril Reyes posed this question:
As an artist, I often think about whether or not I should make this hobby of mine into a career. On one hand it’d be awesome to make money from the thing I love most! But on the other hand, I’m very aware that the art industry isn’t the same as just being a hobbyist, and artists usually aren’t paid a lot. What could be a good way to start making money off of my creative endeavors (art, music, writing, etc.), and, most importantly, should I pursue art as a career or should it stay a side/part-time job?

The "internet" you experience is all up to you. If you are confused by computers and you just type problems into Google you're going to get a virus. If you spend all day on Social Media Facebook, Instagram, and Reddit, You will be misinformed and a number used to validate other companies' ad spends. If you use it to chat, Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp you will be scammed.

Everything the internet is good at is abused. And if you just go "To The Internet!" and start looking for something like buying a car or an article on how healthy milk is you are going to be thrashed and attacked by ads and cookies and so many videos in the background and useless irrelevant information you end up either not getting the information you wanted or you get it in spite of the website.

"The Internet" is now simply another consumer and marketing platform. Back in the 90s people were saying what if the big businesses took control of the internet well they did and unless you know exactly what you are looking for and how to get there you are going to struggle.

Sure we have Wikipedia, thepiratebay, bitcoin, and GitHub.
But think of this as the world that's like saying we have Libraries, Thieves, commodity markets(pawn shops), and scientific collaboration.

Of course, those things would exist on the internet they have always existed in the world. For a while the internet was fringe so it was full of more fringe things as it has become the everyday tool of all of us. It has evolved to look like the rest of society.

Gen Z is prioritizing living over working because they've seen 'the legacy of broken promises' in corporate America, a future-of-work expert says

Gen Z is choosing to "work to live'' rather than "live to work," like previous generations, because they're reaping fewer rewards for their hard work, an expert on the future of work told Business Insider.

While your smartphone might be essential, it could be consuming a lot of your time, especially if you’re constantly checking apps, texts and emails.

If you’re willing to ditch your device for a bit, you could win a sweet prize. The New York-based company Siggi’s Dairy, known for its Icelandic-style yogurt, is offering $10,000 to people who can stay away from their smartphones for an entire month.

“We believe in the power of living a simpler life with fewer distractions. One of the biggest distractions in our lives today is our phone,” the company said on its website. “That’s why we’re challenging you to give up your smartphone for a month as part of the Siggi’s digital detox program.”
