Should educators should focus on teaching responsible, effective use of technology or rely on existing methods? The MacVoices Live! panel looks at those issues and also considers how screens affect everyday social interactions. The subject of smart home hubs is becoming a hot topic. A discussion of Anker\u2019s ambitious MindBase smart home hub, combining NAS storage, security, AI, and home automation, along with some other options, wraps up this session.  The panel includes: Chuck Joiner,&amp;nbsp;Marty Jencius,&amp;nbsp;Eric Bolden,&amp;nbsp;David Ginsburg,&amp;nbsp;Web Bixby,&amp;nbsp;Jeff Gamet, and Jim Rea.
