Technology

I like to watch disaster movies. I should probably share that before I dive into a subject I've always wondered about. What would happen if the nuclear power plant in Missouri had a catastrophic failure? There isn't as much to worry about as the Hollywood movies would have you imagine.

Laws are having to evolve with fast-developing technology. Don't believe me? Did you know that there are now laws about where you can and cannot fly a drone and that includes specific rules involving the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, Missouri. It is possible, but the exceptions are rare.

This is a danger that many have seen coming. Artificial intelligence is now present in almost every aspect of our lives and if we're not careful, it could completely wreck Missouri in 2024.

It's been a few decades since I had what would be considered a muscle car, but those were driving days I cherished. That's why the muscle car lover in me is in denial that 2 legendary muscle car series are now predicted to disappear from Missouri roads in 2024. Say it ain't so.

This is the one day every year when more people than any other time will likely be getting assistance riding home. Beware as there is one ride-along scam that could cost you your life in Illinois thanks to a data breach.

There are some mysteries we're just not meant to understand. Why is the sky blue? What makes water wet? Oh, and why in the world did Microsoft just spend $76 million dollars to buy a Wisconsin pumpkin farm? It's a mystery.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand that time changes things. New technology can cause lifestyle habits to morph and that's been especially true of retail establishments. Missouri is among the states that have seen an almost catastrophic drop in the number of brick and mortar retail stores.

If you and/or your children have an iPhone or any Apple device that they use in public, you need to know about a recent update that police are warning Missouri parents about that could compromise their safety.

Smartphone users have taken to social media to share photos and videos of the issue.

As of this writing, there is no way I'm aware of that you can predict an earthquake. Perhaps I'm mistaken though as there's a report that the 3.6 magnitude earthquake in north-central Illinois was predicted by shelter dogs. Woof.
