Canon Ends Sales Of Last Film Camera; Texas Teen Wins Scripps National Spelling Bee.
LU STOUT: It is Friday night here in Hong Kong. Welcome back. You're watching "News Stream." now, there is no escaping the numbers. Facebook is increasingly a site for grown-ups. A Pew study reveals teenagers in the United States appear to be abandoning Facebook in droves. Only about 51 percent of American teens use the site now. That's down 20 percent from 2015. So where are they going? Well, not surprisingly, they seem to have been moving to YouTube, Instagram, and Snapchat. And speaking of old tech, Canon is finally ending sales of its last film camera and fully embracing the digital camera life. Canon actually stopped making the EOS-1v about eight years ago but it still sold the remaining units. This marks the end of an era for the famous camera company and if you are a film photo enthusiast, if you still own EOS-1v, don't worry. Canon says it will still repair your relic until the year 2025. Now, a 14-year-old from the USA of Texas has won the Scripps U.S. National Spelling Bee after 18 rounds of competition and here is the winning word.</s>KARTHIK NEMMANI, SCRIPPS NATIONAL SPELLING BEE CHAMPION: Koinonia.</s>K-O-I- N-O-N-I-A.
