Spotify launches standalone music streaming app for kids with hand picked playlists

The music streaming app, Spotify, has helmed its position in the market by attracting more and more users with its regular features updates. Spotify is now growing its user base with a new app called Spotify Kids. The app is aimed at children of three years of age and above. As per the website, this app has rolled out in Ireland (starting 30 October) for now but will eventually come to other countries in the coming months.

One thing that you would want to note here is that you will have to make a separate Spotify account for your child on this app. You can get this app if you have the  Premium Family subscription plan (at Rs 179 per month). All you need to do is get the family subscription plan, download the Spotify Kids app from Play Store or App Store and sign up with a separate kid's account and you are good to go.

Spotify Kids will have handpicked curations for kids that will include TV shows, movies, playlists that will help them sing along during activities like bedtime, homework, playtime and more.

Also, the app offers small UI differences based on the age of the kid you create the account for. For example, the artwork for younger kids is softer and character-based, while content for older kids is more realistic and detailed. As per the company, the kids will be able to listen to ad-free music and they will not be exposed to any explicit content the parents would disapprove of.

Parents will have control over the content being streamed in the app and they can switch accounts whenever they want.

The company has recently rolled out its Premium Family subscription plan in India and there might be chances that Spotify Kids will also arrive in India soon.

Elon Musk’s bid spotlights Twitter’s unique role in public discourse – and what changes might be in store

Twitter has been in the news a lot lately, albeit for the wrong reasons. Its stock growth has languished and the platform itself has largely remained the same since its founding in 2006. On April 14, 2022, Elon Musk, the world’s richest person, made an offer to buy Twitter and take the public company private. In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission , Musk stated, “I invested in Twitter as I believe in its potential to be the platform for free speech around the globe, and I believe free speech is a societal imperative for a functioning democracy.” As a researcher of social media platforms , I find that Musk’s potential ownership of Twitter and his stated reasons for buying the company raise important issues. Those issues stem from the nature of the social media platform and what sets it apart from others. What makes Twitter unique Twitter occupies a unique niche. Its short chunks of text and threading foster real-time conversations among thousands of people, which

To reach net-zero emissions and remove CO2 from the air, scientists drawn up six priorities

Image
To reach net-zero emissions by 2050, global emissions must be cut faster and deeper than the world has yet managed. But even then, some hard-to-treat sources of pollution – in aviation, agriculture and cement making – may linger for longer than we would like. It will take time for clean alternatives to arrive and replace them. That means the world also needs to find and ramp up ways of taking CO₂ out of the atmosphere to stabilise the climate. Just meeting the UK’s net-zero target is likely to require the removal of 100 million tonnes of CO₂ a year , similar in size to current emissions from the country’s largest-emitting sector, road transport, but in reverse. The UK government’s announcement of £31.5 million (US$44.7 million) in support for research and development of carbon removal is welcome. And while trials of new tech will help, there are many social issues that need to be tackled if removing greenhouse gases is to succeed. Done right, carbon removal could be the perfect a

NASA is planning to partner with SpaceX to reboost the Hubble Telescope and extend its life

Image
The Hubble Space Telescope is one of the most important scientific achievements of the human species that has helped us understand space. It has been in orbit for over 30 years and has been feeding some of the most vital streams of information that has not only helped us steer our space exploration efforts, but also solve some of the more deep mysteries of the universe . NASA would love to extend its usable life for as long as possible. Unfortunately, for some years now, Hubble Space Telescope has been slipping out of its orbit. That is why, NASA is planning to team up with Elon Musk’s SpaceX and place it into a higher much more stable orbit. NASA, SpaceX and Jared Isaacman, a private astronaut with the Polaris Program, hosted a media teleconference on Thursday to announce a feasibility study that will look into sending a commercial Dragon spacecraft to reboost the Hubble Space Telescope . This will, in effect place the telescope into a higher and more stable orbit than it’s curren
