Twitter’s Effect On Offline Relationship Longevity
If you are a Twitter addict like me, you are used to being judged, right? People in our offline worlds are constantly making ridiculous claims about how it's not good to tweet so much, we are alienating ourselves for the "real world," yada yada yada. For me, Twitter is my "real world," and I have le ...
Do Women Really Talk More Than Men?
I talk a lot. I admit it. Not only do I talk a lot, I write a lot, I tweet a lot and I chit-chat on the phone a lot. I just communicate a lot. I've always heard that women talk more than men, and I assumed it was true. I mean, have you ever heard of a group of guys staying up all night talking like ...
Most Children Learn Computer Skills Before Life Skills
This is very interesting to me. It hits home because when I saw my sister and her three-year-old son a month ago, I noticed something that seemed a little strange to me. He was constantly playing games on her iPhone. He was walking around the house holding it, and he wouldn't let anyone else have ...
This Video Shows That Robots Will Outrun Us With Ease!
Little has been released on the subject since that big Honda showcase a couple of years ago when they showed the world why robots will sometime inhabit the earth with their revolutionary robot ASIMO. News hasn't been completely dry; however, the progress with ASIMO hasn't even been as close to as e ...
New Study Finds That This Will Relax Your Man…
Lately I've been having a lot of fun reading some of the ridiculous studies that people publish on random topics that never seem interesting until someone studies them.
For example, there is the study that proves (yeah, right) that women prefer men with a tan, the study that determined Americans ...
Study Shows Women Prefer Men With A Tan
Today National Geographic published the results of another ridiculous study based on a tiny pool of people that live in a small selected region, so basically the results I'm about to show you mean nothing, but it's still so much fun!
The bottom line of this study shows that women prefer men that ...
How Marijuana Affects A Spider’s Ability To Spin A Web
Before I tell you about a cruel experiment done with spiders, I want you to know that I don't condone this or any cruelty to animals, even if they are pesky spiders.
Many years ago, NASA performed an experiment where they wanted to test the effects of certain drugs on the behavior of living thing ...
Technology: Band-Aids That Alert Us To Infection
Here we go again. Yep, this is another thing that I will be telling my grandchildren, "When I was little, we had to rip the band-aid off our cut to check to see if it was healing or infected. And it hurt!" At least, that's the way I remember it.
Some really smart and practical scientists at the ...
Technology: Is This The First Robot Pop Star?
I write about robots frequently because they fascinate me. In the past few years, scientists have come a long way in bridging the gap between human beings and robots when it comes to feelings and emotions.
You know what they say... Once we start to accept robots on an emotional level, we will st ...
Why Do We Unfriend On Facebook? The Reasons Might Surprise You!
Last month, Misty wrote an article that asked the question, "What will make you unfollow on Twitter?" The answers were fun to read. A lot of people said it's the auto DMs that make them unfollow, others said it's the spam, and yet others cited reasons that I've never even thought of before. It's ...
Eat This iPhone: Android Can Hold Its Own After All!
I have an Android phone. Sometimes it feels like I'm on an island because everywhere I turn, I'm surrounded by iPhone users. I love my Droid X. I think sometimes people don't give Android phones enough credit, I mean, have you actually seen what they can do?
I agree, an Android phone isn't as ...
The Most Powerful Colors On The Internet
This is so interesting to me. Have you ever wondered what the most powerful colors on the Internet are? These are the colors that command attention, the ones that make you look twice, and the ones that increase your click through rate.
We all know how important color is to a brand. However, wo ...
Finally: A Health Benefit From Playing Video Games!
Well Halleluiah! Finally someone has proven that there is a health benefit to playing video games, well, if you have a lazy eye that is. Typically, people that have a lazy eye have to put a patch over the good eye in order to force the lazy eye to become stronger. It's a long grueling process.

New Study: Americans Go Crazy When Internet Is Slow
Not long ago, @mistygirlph wrote an article entitled, "Do You Freak Out When Your Internet Goes Down?" It always makes me giggle when I see that one circulating on Twitter because people almost always add a little comment with their tweet that says, "Yes!" I know for me, I definitely freak out whe ...
#LOL Can Animals Laugh Out Loud Like We Do?
I've always wondered whether or not dogs, cats and other animals ever find something funny and then laugh out loud. We all know that dogs wag their tails when they are happy. I've even seen my dog smile (really, I have) but I've never heard him laugh.
Today, after reading this article on Earth ...
