Technology Making a Difference in Our Daily Lifes

Here are some interesting Tech news that can have an impact on our daily life, that is if you use email, apps and any social media.  

I really like this article about cleaning up my email inbox. I desperately need to clean-up my email, but feel as though I don’t have the hours of time it might take to get there. This article has some great suggestions to help make it easy and to keep from getting overwhelmed by it all. I particularly like the suggestion at the bottom of the article on how to deal with spam.

It looks like the social network industry is booming. More and more spin-offs from Facebook are being created. Though like in the original Pacman game they are getting eaten up by the giant in the industry.

However don’t lose hope for smaller startups breaking through the internet ceiling. The two year old social media site We Heart It is making waves with younger users. Could it be the next big social network?

Be in The Olympics


The word of the year for 2013 chosen by Oxford Dictionary was ‘selfie’. Selfie’s have exploded on social media. Everyone, has taken and posted a selfie on some social media site. Selfies have also taken beyond the earth. A space selfie is a selfie that is taken in space. This include selfies taken by astronauts, machines and by an indirect method to have self-portrait photograph on earth retaken in space. Now we can actually compete for the best selfie, the Selfie Olympics was created just short of two weeks ago. The Selfie Olympics is a completion for the best selfies. A Facebook page was also opened. Also a youtube video was created, and the Twitter handle is SelfyGames. Have fun.
