Technology in Children's Toys     G rowing up, I never had technology like iPhones, iPads, and even streaming services. I would go outside and play with my siblings. I am thankful that I grew up when I did. When I go out to eat, walk the Farm Road, or go anywhere in public, I see parents giving their children technology to keep them occupied. I think that technology is significant in today's world, but I believe that children should still go outside and be imaginative. It is incredible how technology is with children's toys and how much it has changed.  Some of the new toys I have seen are pretty impressive, and the ones I will be discussing involve video.  Nintendo Switch Lite      The Nintendo Switch Lite is perfect for traveling, and the battery life lasts a long time.

All of the colors blend well together and make for an aesthetically pleasing website.      Lauryn's blogs are well written and have lots of interactivity. All of the topics are really interesting to read. The pictures she chooses also add to the look of the blog and c...

Live Shopping May Be The Future Of Online Shopping   *Picture Contains Link*     Everyone loves to shop online these days. Whenever I have nothing to do, I usually get on Amazon and see what items I want to buy next. What is the future of online shopping?What if you could buy products on live streams and have a conversation with the seller? Luckily for you, that time has come on social media. I believe that it will become the new normal to shop online on social media in the coming years.      What is live shopping?      Live shopping is where live streaming and e-commerce meet social media. It allows merchants and companies to sell products in real-time. Merchants can sell products through natural conversation instead of a boring description. Instead of it being recorded like on TV, live shopping is live, and the seller can have conversations with the consumers. It also allows the consumers to have a connection and trust the seller because of...
