The most interesting thing that changed within the last 20 years in history is the technology of cellphones. Alexander G. Bell is the first man to design the telephone.

Technology of cellphones 20 years ago wasn't even touch screen nor could you have talked to them and they talked back. That's crazy right! Back then they had house phones…

I recognize the ease of demonizing technology. Technology has had the butt end of plenty of debates about all sorts of things. While I totally see where this article is coming from, I don't think it's telling the whole story. One thing that really bothered me reading this was that they measured phubbing.

Brooklyn, I’d like to add to your response if you don’t mind. Primarily the claim that the ability to “design babies” is morally wrong because “it will dramatically increase the gap between classes.” This, in your opinion, would create a genetic divide along socioeconomic lines. I’d like to refer to this as the “Gattaca” argument, the idea that transhumanists, wanting to enhance our genetic makeup through genetic engineering, will also unwittingly deepen the divide between the rich (modified)…

The article discusses how Coke is expanding its “Share a Coke” marketing promotion started last summer with “Play a Coke”. Instead of personalized names, the bottles will have memorable moments like “First Kiss”. Consumers can scan the bottle with the “Play a Coke” app, and this will populate a music playlist that people can control by rotating the bottle.

As a traveling teacher librarian I definitely want my students to look forward to their time with me. I am only in their classes every six weeks, for one or two lessons, so engagement is a big part of my planning. I spend time trying to get to know them through surveying their reading habits and classroom discussion. Additionally I have done different “icebreaker” activities so that I can get to know them and they can get to know me. They love playing 2 truths and a lie. One of the statements I…

I find it sad the things that can and has happened while driving. On the website”highwaysafety.utah.gov” it states,” 5,013 distracted driver crashes occurred in Utah which resulted in 2,796 injured persons and 17 deaths.” I find this astonishing that there have been so many crashes due to distracted driving. It is both tragic and interesting. It should be everyone’s goal to not drive distracted knowing the dangers and accidents that can come from it. On the website” highwaysafety.utah.gov” it…
