As VR becomes a force in the gaming world (and other sectors), I can't help but draw the evident parallels between the emergence of 3D-console gaming and quasi-nascent VR. Though some remain skeptical about VR, it will become a widely adopted technology that can drive adoption of other technologies, just like 3D-gaming technology did. Read More

QuickTake Q&A: How Police Shootings Feed Off U.S. Strife on Race

Black people are disproportionately represented among the relatively small number of unarmed civilians killed by police each year. In the most recent high-profile incidents, a black man reported to have had a gun in his pocket was killed on July 5 by police in Louisiana. The next day in Minnesota, a black man who was reported to have told police he had a legally registered gun in his car was shot and killed. A p
