In this episode of Discover Daily, we explore the surprising challenges faced by Generation Z when it comes to keyboard typing skills. Despite being digital natives, data shows a dramatic decline in typing proficiency among younger generations, with many struggling to keep up with the demands of academic and professional settings. We discuss the factors contributing to this trend and the efforts being made to address the skills gap.

Next, we delve into the rapid growth of SpaceX's Starlink satellite constellation, which now accounts for nearly half of all operational satellites orbiting Earth. While this unprecedented concentration of satellites from a single company is reshaping the orbital landscape, it also raises significant concerns among astronomers and space experts about the impact on astronomical observations and the long-term sustainability of space operations.

Finally, we cover the news of Apple's AirPods Pro 2 receiving FDA clearance to function as over-the-counter hearing aids. This development marks a significant step towards making hearing health more accessible and affordable for millions of people with mild to moderate hearing loss. We explore the features and potential impact of this innovative technology on the hearing aid industry and the lives of those affected by hearing issues.
