Best Eco-Friendly Gadgets
People are beginning to wonder if smart technology is making us dumb. When it comes to keeping our environment clean in line with advancing technologies, this heartbreaking realization seems to be the case. In the last decade our hold on technology has been greatly modified, more so than we could have ever believed. With Bitcoin now on the rise, reshaping the way we and the future experiences currency, in addition to the promotion of self-driving cars and more adaptive drones, a firmer push on eco-friendly devices is a necessity we must all try to improve upon so as to ensure the world of tomorrow is greatly benefited by our efforts today.

I am getting tired of being completely broke by the end of every month, so I made a hard choice this last month to branch out into an unknown world. Unknown to me at least.

Hiding in Plain Sight
As a young "millennial" who just entered the work force, a big trend I see is people my age changing their name on various social media platforms. The main purpose behind this is to make it more difficult to be found when people (let's call them "potential employers") search for them. It spans from changing your surname to your middle name on Facebook, to creating "Finsta" accounts to showcase your artistic or foodie nature. I believe in self-expression, but to me when you have to create a fake alias or screen who can see your content, it means one of two things: You are afraid to be judged for it, or you know it is inappropriate to post on the internet. In the case of the former, you are censoring your own self-expression and limiting your audience. In the case of the latter, you probably just shouldn't post it.

Cell Phone Etiquette!!!
Will somebody please tell me something? What in the world is wrong with some people? When I was a lad no bigger than a banana, they had this extraordinary device called a telephone at home. It was nice and, like me, it only came in black. As I grew older (and maybe dumber), I discovered that these devices were also outside scattered around in various neighborhoods. The difference is that you needed a coin (10 cents) to operate them. And, like home, you had the added luxury called privacy. At home, if you were alone, no one else could hear your conversation. Outside, all you had to do is step into the phone booth, close the door behind you, drop your dime into the device, dial the number and chat away. It (and life) was that easy.
