YouTuber, entrepreneur and philanthropist MrBeast is known for his super-expensive, highly-entertaining internet escapades but his latest projects truly takes the cake.

The popular YouTuber reportedly spent $3.5 million to recreate the games from popular Netflix Squid Game, welcoming 456 contestants to compete in a safe, violence-free iteration of the challenge. The game include replica set-ups of games like Red Light, Green Light, Tug of War, marbles and more, with the final game being musical chairs instead of the actual squid game.

In a recent tweet, he stated that the project cost him much more than he expected but he was in too deep to quit at that moment, going on to create a video which has since garnered over 95 million views.

Apple expert says iPhones will become ‘obsolete’ in the near future & here’s why

Nov 28 2021 Share

A leading expert on Apple tech and products has forecasted iPhones to become ‘obsolete’ in the near future due to the dramatic rise of increasingly-popular alternative technology. The expert states that smartphones will start to be phased out while augmented reality and virtual reality products will take over the market, pinpointing 2032 as the year which will mark the end of smartphones.

Just in case you hadn’t heard already, augmented reality (AR) is the technology that layers images, games, directions or other visual phenomena on the world around you in real time, meaning that the user would have to wear some form of googles or glasses which are heavily associated with such technology nowadays.

A recent familiar AR experience, albeit rudimentary, would be the mobile game Pokémon Go but the technology suggests that it will be used for a wider range of reasons in the future.

Would you dump your phone to switch to AR technology?
