Larry Magid is the Technology Analyst for CBS News as well as the man behind the website
www.LarrysWorld.com.
Mr. Magid is a major supporter of technology in education, but shares some advice on the benefits of limiting screen time for teens as well as a brief conversation about journalism in the 21st century.
We live in a world where the press are encouraged to get the story out as fast as possible. A good journalist will check facts and be careful not to push a story out of the nest before it can fly. Unfortunately, websites and bloggers without any credibility or scruples are beating some reporters to the punch by rushing to get the first tweet or get to the top of a trending hashtag. Larry Magrid with CBS News and head of the website

comments on what practices like this have done to modern reporting as well as how misinformation has become common place in our 24/7 news cycle.

Larry was also
recently published in Forbes Magazine in an article
he wrote concerning the levels of attachment and distraction they feel about their cell phone. A simple tip Larry shares with KFGO listeners is to lead by example. Setup a charging station outside of bedrooms where the entire family can plug in their devices before bed and leave them there until the rooster crows the next day. An excellent point and tip – especially about holding yourself to the same level of accountability as your child!
