Man using smartphone 1st person to lose licence for a week under new driving laws
A man in his 60s now has the "dubious distinction" of being the first person in the province to have his licence suspended for a week after twice being caught using his smartphone while driving, Manitoba Public Insurance said in a release Thursday. The driver's first offence happened in late November, which resulted in a three-day licence suspension under the province's new distracted driving laws. Close to 300 drivers have had their licences suspended since the new law came into effect. In addition, drivers caught using their phones while driving will also take a hit to their wallet, to the tune of a $672 fine. In 2017, distracted driving was a contributing factor in more than 15,000 collisions, 30 of which were fatal, according to MPI.How the new VR screen could end the smartphone
as mentioned in A smartphone screen is a wonder of the world. The only way to get more information from a smartphone screen is to bring the pixels closer to our eyes, with the device somehow mounted on our heads rather than holding it in our hands. Like camera apps were to smartphones, VR and AR applications will be the lucky beneficiaries of the race to a new screen. Multiple companies will release headsets and glasses in the coming couple of years that will replace the smartphone screen as the way we take in visual information from our computers. Following that, virtual worlds, VR and AR will begin to make use of these screens, allowing us to augment or substitute entirely new worlds for the real one.collected by :John Smith
