TV Viewing Losing Appeal Among Tweens

As they get older, American kids ages 8-14 become increasingly disinterested in watching television, and more and more distracted when they do watch it, according to a new report from Packaged Facts. While nearly 80 percent of younger "tweens" say that they "love" watching television, according to research conducted by Simmons
Market Research Bureau, that number drops to 60 percent when kids reach their early teen years. And many tweens and young teens often do something else while watching TV, such as read, listen to music or use a computer. "Tweens and young teens are mastering the adult art of multi-tasking," said Don Montuori, the acquisitions editor of Packaged Facts. "The Internet, in particular, offers a compelling alternative to TV programming, and this is a significant development for marketers in their efforts to target these consumers."

AI-Driven Data Center Liquid Cooling Demand

The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) and hyperscale cloud computing is fundamentally reshaping data center infrastructure, and liquid cooling is emerging as an indispensable solution. As traditional air-cooled systems reach their physical limits, the IT industry is under pressure to adopt more efficient thermal management strategies to meet growing demands, while complying with stringent environmental regulations. Liquid Cooling Market Development The latest ABI Research analysis reveals momentum in liquid cooling adoption. Installations are forecast to quadruple between 2023 and 2030. The market will reach $3.7 billion in value by the decade's end, with a CAGR of 22 percent. The urgency behind these numbers becomes clear when examining energy metrics: liquid cooling systems demonstrate 40 percent greater energy efficiency when compared to conventional air-cooling architectures, while simultaneously enabling ~300-500 percent increases in computational density per rac...
