This is most probable during the evolution stage of a new technology: imagine what has happened for instance with Facebook, Youtube, and Netflix when the broadband Internet became widespread. Now, during the metaverse hype, we of New Technology Walkers have thought that it is the time to bring our vision to the world, and change it forever.

To avoid awkward and sometimes disastrous learning content, instructional designers must use authentic translation in the right context to get optimal results. For example, even a simple phrase like “got milk” translates to “are you lactating” in Mexico. Can you imagine what a straight translation might do to your course? With over 317 million people in the US and over 6.7 billion potential customers in the world, personalizing training seems logical.

Late Show host Stephen Colbert has weighed in on CBS' much maligned decision to hire former Trump staffer Mick Mulvaney as a political analyst. Unsurprisingly, he isn't thrilled. "What the f**k," Colbert said, looking straight down the barrel of the camera and unequivocally ridiculing his own network over the move. "I for one can't wait to hear Mulvaney's trenchant and objective political analysis, considering that back in 2020 he suggested that coronavirus was the 'media hoax of the day, ' and

It only took four words to convince me the comedic thriller was worth a watch: "Stephen Merchant" and "Christopher Walken." Merchant created The Outlaws with filmmaker Elgin James. But the comedian, writer, director, and actor also co-created a little show called The Office with Ricky Gervais.
