has announced that it's bringing its OLED TV expertise to the XR (extended reality) space, and plans to launch some kind of device next year. The report comes via South Korean news outlet The Guru (translated to English) in which LG Electronics CEO Cho Joo-wan told a reporter at CES 2024 that "[LG] will launch an XR device as early as next year." Not much else is known about the device; however, there were rumors late last year (via ET News, also translated from Korean) that LG was working on a VR headset, which would be powered by the then-unannounced Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 from Qualcomm.

By Anna Park. If Korea fails to raise the current birthrate — the lowest in the world — with appropriate policy measures, the country's growth rate may fall below zero percent by 2050 with its population dropping below 40 million by 2070, the central bank warned in a report. According to the report released by the Economic Research Institute of the Bank of Korea (BOK) on Sunday, the young generation's growing uncertainties over employment, housing and childcare are analyzed to be the primary causes of the country's severe low birth rate.

Has a manager ever told you they don't know what they would do without you? Perhaps you're always the first person to put yourself forward for tasks that don't necessarily fall under your job description but enhance the performance of your team. If either or both sound familiar it's probably because you've been operating under the assumption that being indispensable is an essential part of getting ahead, and throughout your career have taken on extra work or duties.
