The metaverse is a place where people interact in a virtual space through headset technology. NBC News’ Jake Ward explores the 3D technology allowing three surgeons from opposite sides of the globe to plan an operation together virtually, allowing them to examine detailed renderings of a patient’s brain. Universities like Case Western Reserve are also using this technology as a tool to learn anatomy, replacing the traditional more costly method of cadavers. Not only have researchers found that the software helps medical students learn twice as fast and keep knowledge longer, but it may open this education up to other groups who wouldn’t have had access to this before.

Inside The Metaverse: 3D Detailed Anatomical Renderings Revolutionizing Health Care
While you may not be familiar with the latest news, you can easily keep up with the latest events in your local community through the Current News section of your favorite news website. This section is divided into three categories: breaking stories, national news, business news, and science and technology news. NPR is also known for covering major national and world events. Unlike the town crier, you can easily listen to and read this news on your smartphone. This service is perfect for people who don’t have time to go out and read the news.
While TV news has long been on the airwaves, today’s streaming services are reshaping how viewers experience news. Streaming allows viewers to get current news on their own schedule and wherever they are. With this convenience, video news has become ubiquitous. It can be seen on any mobile device, which translates to a more personalized experience. It also reduces the notion of scarcity in media. With all these options, it is not hard to see why streaming is the future of television news.
While the news streaming service CNN+ has been a disappointment, other major networks have high hopes for it. While CNN+ has failed to attract viewers, other major networks like ABC and Fox have invested hundreds of millions of dollars into the streaming operation. For example, Fox has over 1.5 million subscribers to its streaming service Fox Nation. Another example is the NBC affiliate that pipes coverage of a bridge collapse in Pittsburgh to its subscribers. While the numbers aren’t impressive, they do show that streaming is a viable option for many viewers.
