Generation Alpha, children born from 2010 onwards, are growing up in a world where social media is deeply woven into daily life. This influence is having a negative effect on their educational experiences.
One issue is the distraction social media causes in school. Constant notifications and the habit of scrolling through feeds lead to shorter attention spans and not comprehending any form of content, leaving their academic performance to spiral.
Smoke billows from a smokestack. Train tracks vibrate. A beam of light comes into view as a train, cars and all, rounds the corner. As it’s coming straight towards you, a bellowing shriek expels from the whistle, and the brass bell clangs. But then, it takes a sharp turn and disappears around a baby barrel cactus which looms over the passing cars like a towering saguaro. The train is as long as your arm and you could probably pick the steam engine up right off the tracks. This train and other miniature wonders are the newest exhibits at the Tucson Botanical Gardens.
Glendale is home of great sport venues, and the summer is a fabulous time to enjoy indoor sports. I have been lucky to share sports activities with family and friends in great places near home.
What happens if you combine a waffle, a croissant and a pastry? You get a croiffle! A croiffle looks like a caramelized waffle. The inside is white and fluffy, just like a croissant. Once you bite into it, sugary, sweet goodness fills your mouth.
Where can you get these delicious croiffles? Rofle Rofle Croiffle is the first and only place in Tucson where you can get these. You’ll find this store in the food court at the Tucson Mall. Just go to the register, check out their huge menu, which has coffees, shakes and other delicious Korean food, and order away!
Have you ever ridden in a car? How about a car that drives itself? Well, now’s your chance, because autonomous vehicles by Waymo One are hitting the streets!
The vehicle uses multiple cameras, sensors, and radar connected to the surface of the car for a 360degree view. By “remembering” information that it has already experienced, the car will predict what pedestrians and other vehicles will do before they do it. This way, it can drive along a predetermined route, avoiding obstacles and keeping its passengers safe.
