The title says it all folks, and yet this is an issue we can't stress enough in a culture of distract-ability. Phones and technology have the power to unite and enrich us, or be the harbinger of a zombie techno-pocolypse. It all depends on how we use the tools we have at our disposal.

The Internet of Things (IoT) has captured the imagination of the world. Most of us use IoT everyday without even realizing it. Fitness trackers, virtual reality devices, smart air purifiers are all IoT wonders that influence the way we live our lives today.

Transhumanism and You
Technology has already changed the world as we know it for good, whether it’s how you get to work in the morning, keep in touch with loved ones, or socialize. Experts are constantly reporting new information on the way developments in technology, like social media for example, are changing our brains. Experts have found that multitasking across multiple media platforms is resulting in measurable physical changes in the brain such as decreased grey matter in the anterior cingulate cortex. In layman’s terms, that means people who are checking multiple different medias in a short span of time are experiencing a decrease in their ability to perform cognitive control tasks (process information and adapt accordingly) as well as social and emotional difficulties. If something as recent as social media is having such a profound effect already, how deep do these changes really go?

Honesty or Trash-Talk?
You wake up from a good night’s sleep, reach for your phone, and check out your social media. Your best friend is complaining on Snapchat yet again, your aunt has posted some new puppy photos on Facebook, and all seems right with the world. But wait; you forgot to check Sarahah.

Why Apple Beats Google
Apple is the brand to beat these days. With over 17.4 million units sold in the first quarter of 2017 for the iPhone 7 plus, a new iPad with a near 11 inch screen and the Apple Watch 2 sales increasing (according to Tim Cook) despite the near death of most smartwatches brands and companies, it truly is a wonderful time to be an Apple fan. But why does the company do so well despite having the most restrictive user interface in all smartphone os, prices that are elitist by any normal smartphone standards and hardly any breakthrough changes in design and technology since the iPhone 5? This is what we will look into today and understand why Apple beats Google’s much friendlier, much more open ecosystem and products.
