What next? Perhaps a 220volt feedback to
inattentive students?
Paige Rogers reports:
“Turning massive amounts of personal data about public school students to a private corporation without any public input is profoundly disturbing and irresponsible.”

[From
the Report:
One company among modernity’s forty-niners is
BrainCo, Inc. which has
created a headband
to measure and collect students’ brain waves, or EEG’s. Data
collected will then be sent to a teacher dashboard as part of the
company’s FocusEDU program. The company purports the technology
measures students’ level of attention, and claims that the EEG data
collected will help teachers and administrators determine when each
student is paying attention during a lesson and/or activity.
Have I mentioned that I love lists?

I am starting this post with a deeply appreciative
and respectful Thank You to Robert Ambrogi who has logged 15 years
and counting of blogging at his legendary Law

In a welcome follow-up to 2016, BeSpacific
is again included in the American
Bar Association (ABA) Web 100: Best law blogs for 2017.
In addition, BeSpacific received more than 600 votes to place a very
respectable Third in the 2017
Best Legal Tech Blog category via The Expert Institute’s Best
Legal Blog contest – the “annual competition that showcases the
very best that the legal blogging world has to offer.” Thank you
to all who voted. Reminder, please vote again in 2018!
I’ll take this a confirmation that MoviePass is
real.
Cinemark
announces $8.99-a-month subscription service to fill more seats —
and take on MoviePass
... The Plano, Texas-based company on Tuesday
said customers who pay a monthly fee of $8.99 will receive a credit
for one movie ticket a month. Subscribers can also buy additional
tickets for $8.99 each and get a 20% discount on food and drinks.
Cinemark's offer, dubbed Movie Club, marks the
latest move by theater chains to draw customers at a time when
cinemas are contending with increased competition from other forms of
entertainment, especially streaming services in the home such as
Netflix. It's also the cinema industry's first direct answer to
MoviePass, a New York start-up that offers unlimited movies in
theaters for $9.95 a month.
