The One-Minute Meeting
A new medical study says there is proof that playing video games seems to be related to increased cognitive ability in children. This study of 2217 children who played video games for three hours or more per day performed better on cognitive skills tests involving impulse control and working memory compared to children who had never played video games. That goes against everything your parents said when they told you playing video games would rot your brain.
An FCC commissioner with a history of having Congress’ ear, says the U.S. should ban TikTok because it is a security concern. The FCC does not have that authority, but this is a running issue among security experts who say the Chinese government can use the company to grab intel. Soldiers and members of Congress have all been warned not to use TikTok. I will point you to ways to explore this issue.
The Federal Trade Commission says the housing shortage and high apartment prices are leading to a new wave of scams. The fraudsters list apartments they do not own, collect down payments from harried renters then vanish. I will give you some ways to stay alert for the fraud.
