Paragraph 1:

This article outlines the new Digital Control, DC,  technology which was implemented into the Curado baitcaster. What this means is that Shimano has created a computer chip that offers a  breaking DC system as well as a unique casting sound to fishing reels. This system allows anglers to cast with greater ease as it reduces the chances that the line will tangle. One of the main problems with traditional baitcasting reels is that they tend to tangle making them very unfriendly for users.  However, the DC is Shimano’s attempt to give everyone the chance to use a baitcaster that offers an enjoyable trouble free experience. Overall, the Curado DC is seen as a smart investment for anyone wanting a high-performing, easy-to-use baitcaster.

Paragraph 2:

The Curado DC is marketed as a reel designed to prevent backlash and tangling but in my opinion, this reel feels more like a money grab. After purchasing and using one myself, I realized that what really draws people to it is the unique “DC whine” sound, not necessarily the technology behind it. While Shimano deserves credit for bringing this advanced technology into reality, I now believe that the regular Curado offers better value. Shimano’s Curado line is already known for producing one of the best reels in the industry and the standard model performs exceptionally well without the added cost of the DC. The DC chip may be a big step forward in fishing gear, but it still feels a bit premature, something that needs more research and development before it’s truly worth the price.

Paragraph 1

At a Tesla event on October 24, 2024, Elon Musk revealed his new Cybercab, a fully self-operating robot Taxi designed with no steering wheels, no pedals and priced under $30,000.  This new robot is predicted to come out by 2026 or early 2027.  Musk sees this Cybercab transforming the world of transportation as there will be no need to manually park or drive, allowing passengers to relax during commutes. Additionally, Tesla plans to introduce self-driving capabilities to its Model 3 and Model Y vehicles in California and Texas in 2025.  This Tesla event also showcased the Robovan and Anonymous van, capable of carrying up to 20 passengers at one time. With these new self-driving cars Tesla faces ongoing security and legal challenges as well as concerns regarding its full self-driving claims and related safety  aspects.

Paragraph 2

Tesla’s Cyber Taxi has the opportunity to reduce human error as well as the sometimes harsh conditions that people have to drive in, creating a  more relaxing way of travel.  However, I find it scary that the new vehicles, with fully self-operating features, have no override controls. I am interested to see where Musk can go with this project but I do not want to see only Robo taxis on the road as I believe driving a car is a valuable experience and something everyone should learn. Overall, Musk’s Robot Taxis seem like a good idea and if executed, will have their place on the road but they will not replace the people controlled vehicles that are used everyday.

Paragraph 1

 Tesla’s Optimus is a humanoid robot designed for basic tasks such as walking, lifting, sorting objects and navigating terrains; it does this through the power of AI.  Elon Musk introduced Optimus in 2021 then developed a prototype in 2022 followed by Optimus Gen 2 in December of 2023.  Optimus Gen 2 showed an improved mobility and dexterity allowing it to balance on one leg and walking on uneven terrain.  Elon Musk plans to produce his project Optimus this year targeting a price of $30,000 and for that price Elon Musk  wants to help you with household chores  and everyday life. Overall, this robot is a personal Butler but without a personality.

Paragraph 2 

I think that Elon Musk was right about this project, that this robot could really be useful for many people. For example, people in Elderly Homes and even with disabilities could use this robot as not just a tool but almost like a caretaker as this robot could be their arms and legs. Allowing them to be dependent and not have to count on other people. The catch for me  is the price as $30,000 could get a regular person a car or better yet a robot Taxi as in many cases that would be a lot more useful. To conclude, for many people this machine would be a necessity but in some cases this robot could be more than just a robot.

Technology Editorials

Apple launched the Vision Pro in 2024 — a mixed reality headset that blends the digital and physical world. It uses high-resolution displays, eye tracking, and hand gestures to let users watch videos, work, and interact with 3D apps in a new way. Apple calls it a “spatial computer,” and it’s one of the most advanced headsets on the market. But it costs over $3,000, making it very expensive for most people. I think the Vision Pro looks super cool, but it feels more like a luxury toy than something people actually need. It’s amazing how you can open apps and videos in mid-air, but the price is way too high for students or regular families. I’d love to try one, but I think Apple should make a more affordable version if they want it to become popular.

The Humane AI Pin was released in 2024 as a new kind of wearable assistant. Instead of using a phone, users can clip this pin to their clothes and interact with it using voice, gestures, and a small projector. It connects to AI tools like ChatGPT and can answer questions, make calls, and translate speech. Some people think it’s the future of smartphones, while others say it’s too early and not very practical. I think the AI Pin is interesting but kind of unnecessary right now. It’s like a cool idea from a sci-fi movie, but I feel like most people will just keep using their phones. Maybe in the future it’ll be useful, but right now it seems like something tech fans would buy just to say they tried it.

In 2025, Samsung introduced the Galaxy Ring — a small smart ring that tracks your health. It monitors heart rate, sleep, and stress, and connects with the Samsung Health app. Unlike smartwatches, it’s very light and discreet. It’s part of a growing trend where tech companies are making health tracking devices smaller and more comfortable to wear all day and night. I actually like this idea. I don’t like wearing big watches, but I care about my health and sleep. A ring seems way easier to wear all the time. I’d consider buying something like this in the future if the price isn’t too high and it works well. It seems like a smart move from Samsung.

Technology News Stories (3)

The Nintendo Switch 2 is the rumored next-generation console from Nintendo, expected to be the follow-up to the original Nintendo Switch that came out in 2017. While Nintendo hasn’t officially revealed it yet, there have been many leaks and reports suggesting it will have better graphics, faster performance, and possibly a new screen or design. Fans are excited, but there’s also concern about how much it will cost, if it will still support old games, and whether it will be easy to get when it launches.

I think the Nintendo Switch 2 sounds really cool, and I’m excited to see what new features it will have. The original Switch was amazing because you could play it at home and on the go, and if they improve the graphics and speed, it’ll be even better. I just hope they don’t make it super expensive or hard to buy like the PS5 was. It would also be great if we can still play old Switch games on it so we don’t have to start over.

The Meta Ray-Ban Smart Glasses are high-tech eyewear that combine classic Ray-Ban styles with features like a 12MP camera, open-ear speakers, and voice-activated AI. These glasses allow users to take photos, record videos, listen to music, and even livestream directly to social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram. While they offer convenience and hands-free functionality, concerns have been raised about privacy, as the discreet design makes it difficult for others to know when they’re being recorded. Additionally, experiments by students have shown that these glasses can be used with facial recognition software to identify individuals and access personal information without their consent.

I think the Meta Ray-Ban Smart Glasses are really cool because they let you take pictures and videos without needing to pull out your phone, and you can listen to music or get information just by talking to them. They look like regular sunglasses, so they’re stylish too. But it also feels kind of creepy that someone could be recording you without you knowing, and the idea that they could find out personal stuff about you just by looking at you is scary. I like the technology, but I think there should be better ways to make sure people’s privacy is protected.

The M4 MacBook Air, released in March 2025, introduces significant upgrades over its predecessors. It features Apple’s latest M4 chip with a 10-core CPU and up to 10-core GPU, offering enhanced performance and efficiency. The device boasts up to 18 hours of battery life, a new 12MP Center Stage camera, and support for up to two external displays. It comes in two sizes,13-inch and 15-inch and introduces a new Sky Blue color option. The base model starts at $999, making it more affordable than previous versions. These advancements aim to provide users with a powerful yet portable computing experience.

I think the new M4 MacBook Air is awesome, especially for students like me. The longer battery life means I can use it all day at school without needing to charge. The performance upgrades make it faster for doing homework, research, and even some light gaming. I also like the new Sky Blue color—it adds a fun touch. The lower starting price is great because it makes it more accessible for students on a budget. Overall, it seems like a great laptop for both school and personal use.
