A recent Cornell study describes how Facebook users are increasingly dependent on its utility. In fact, the study asserts that users don’t leave Facebook for lack of utility: they leave for fear of addiction. While the propensity for Facebook to cause addiction is questionable, its utility most certainly is not. The Facebook ecosystem (which includes Instagram and WhatsApp) offer unprecedented social utility, and Facebook is expanding its native services substantially in 2016. The changes to Facebook in 2016 are new to Facebook, but aren’t new to the social landscape. Facebook appears to be borrowing the best aspects of other popular services and integrating them into Facebook as a central hub. For communication professionals, this means that the ways that you can communicate on Facebook are expanding and are increasing in complexity. Imagine a platform with all of the functions of Facebook AND Periscope, Yelp, Google, Yammer, Uber, Amazon Marketplace, Evite and

Summer, the celebrated season of swimming, tanning, margaritas and ice creams that melt too quickly, although the same can’t be said to your smartphone and every other portable gadget. Overheating poses a serious risk for your electronic products, potentially damaging or destroying your electronics indiscriminately. Fortunately, you can lower that risk of having the heat doing so, unless, of course, you choose the obvious way of leaving your electronics in the fridge all summer long. How to cool down your phone? Here are some tips to get you started to protect your devices. Avoid Hot Places This should be the most obvious one. Surrounding temperatures play a huge factor in the well-being of your beloved smartphone. The heat inside a car, for example, could easily swell up to 20 degrees higher than outside on a hot day, easily raising up the heat from an 80 to a 100 degrees hellhole. The glovebox isn’t exactly safe either. Naturally, you wouldn’t want to leave your ele

Yes, there are so interesting unsolved mysteries about the solar system's biggest planet Jupiter like Swirling storms. Dusty rings. Glowing polar lights. Image credits: Alamy Glimpses of Jupiter have been beamed back by robotic explorers since the 1970s. Most visits were brief and only one spacecraft spent time circling the planet. So there's still lots to learn about the biggest planet in the solar system and its four main moons. NASA is headed to Jupiter again for what's promised to be the best views and most extensive exploration yet. Named for the king of the Roman gods, Jupiter is one of five planets visible with the naked eye. It's so massive that it could hold everything else in the solar system, minus the sun. The Juno spacecraft, named after the Roman goddess who was Jupiter's wife, arrived Monday after a nearly five-year voyage. It will orbit the planet for over a year. A look at what's still unknown about Jupiter: Wate

Twenty-five years after the introduction of the World Wide Web, the Information Age is coming to an end. Thanks to mobile screens and Internet everywhere, we’re now entering into a new era of digital world which I called "Experience Age." When was the last time you updated your Facebook status? Maybe you no longer do? It’s been reported that original status updates by Facebook’s 1.6 billion users are down 21 percent. The status box is an icon of the Information Age, a period dominated by desktop computers and a company’s mission to organize all the world’s information. The icons of the Experience Age look much different, and are born from micro-computers, mobile sensors and high-speed connectivity. The death of the status box is a small part of a larger shift away from information moving toward experience. What’s driving this shift?
