Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.  I’m Fred Fishkin.  Finding balance with technology.  Google …like some other tech giants….fears many of us are spending too much time with our devices…and are sometimes drowning in the continuous flow of news notifications, emails and social media updates.  The company’s Molly VandenBerg…says many people have actually been doing Google searches on the phrase digital wellbeing…

“It starts with awareness.  And so one of the tools that we reference a lot is on our Android devices on your phone, we have a digital wellbeing dashboard.  And that’s kind of your first step because it’s going to show you where you’re spending your time.  What apps you’re really investing in.  Maybe even how many times you unlock your phone.”

Google offers other tips to help you set limits and achieve a better balance.  You can learn more at www.wellbeing.google.

Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.  I’m Fred Fishkin.  Microsoft continues to bring new features to the Teams video meeting app…as so many people are continuing to work and learn from home.  Marissa Salazar…product marketing manager…says what’s causing a lot of buzz…is the new Together mode…

“In a typical meeting we all turn on our videos and we are all separated by a grid view…we’re all in our individual squares.  What Together mode does…is it uses this really great AI segmentation technology to just pick the people and place us all together in one shared space.  It looks and feels like we’re all sitting together in, for example, an amphitheater setting.”

With more settings…including a coffee shop…to come.  Teams has added more collaboration features too to compete with Zoom, Google Meet and more.  There’s more at www.Microsoft.com.
