CES News
The Consumer Technology Association’s CES (Consumer Electronics Show) is an annual trade show dedicated to showcasing new products and technologies within the consumer electronics industry. The 2019 show featured keynotes and conference program sessions, and plenty of exhibitors to showcase their latest and greatest product. While there were an abundance of exhibitors and products for attendees to view, the ones we kept seeing on the internet had a focus on babies and children. Here is the interesting list of products we found and discussed within the podcast episode:
- Monit smart diaper sensor – monitors your baby’s diaper’s fullness

Data Protection & Modern Privacy
Privacy is very important when it comes to the mobile device and other every device individuals know, but is sometimes taken for granted from some companies. We recently discovered that Samsung phone device users were unable to delete the Facebook app from their phone. As a direct violation of privacy, Jailyn and Morgan agree that individuals shouldn’t have to be limited to keep apps on their phone that they no longer want.
To protect your privacy, individuals should be aware of their device’s privacy policy, understand your devices’ privacy settings and set them accordingly to how you want them, and stay in tune with the news to learn developing stories.
