There was a time when you had two options for taking pictures. Hire a photographer or buy a disposable one from the local Rite Aid or CVS and shoot your own. We all delighted in those disposable cameras as kids, filling them with nonsense photos before sending our parents to the photo store to have them developed, with no idea what the final product would look like.
Samsung and Google have been giving iPhone a run for its money lately. Every year loyal phone users wait for the newest release of their flagship model.

Only 37% of people wear the correct shoe size for their feet’ length and width. How is it possible that almost 60% of shoe wearers don’t know what size to buy? Well, that stems from incorrect measuring. Tap or click here to see how Adidas is turning plastic bottles into shoes.
If you bought a new PC two years ago, it would only be half as fast as a processor made today. That’s a speedy development time, but it’s not just limited to computer components.
Try explaining to Leonardo DaVinci that one day people would create art without a canvas, paints or brushes. How do you comprehensively detail to people in the 1930s that you can put food in a metal box, and it will be hot within two minutes — without coming across as a lunatic?
The digital age has brought us instant access to information, but it also brought along infinite opportunities for thieves. Whether it’s an app that drains your wallet through a subscription service or malware that infects your device and steals information, you can never be too vigilant.
There’s nothing more annoying than losing the password to your favorite website. Actually, there’s one irritant that takes the cake — finding out you have no back-up plan. That’s why we always recommend two-factor authentication (2FA), a security measure that lets you verify login attempts through your phone or email.
