Computer Stress Is Worse Than Relationship Stress [Infographic]
How much time each day do you spend on your computer? 8 hours? 12 hours? 14 hours?

Our computers can bring us happiness and fr ...

Why It Is Important To Recycle Your Old Used Smartphones [Infographic]
I remember back in 2012 when I read an article on Mashable about how by the end of the year, there would be more smartphones than people in the world. The study used to back up that statement was the Global Mobile Data Traffic Forecast Update 2012 - 2017 by Cisco. Now that we are into 2013, I'm sure ...
Telephone Bag: Quite Possibly The First Mobile Phone Ever
Have you ever wondered what came before mobile phones? There had to be something that inspired people to create a phone which could be portable. Whatever it was probably existed back in the 1970s, which was when people started realizing it could be useful to have a phone which we could carry around ...
Fate Of Desktop PCs: What Will Your Workstation Look Like In 5 Years?
The world of computing is moving fast these days. That statement would ordinarily be par for the course, but in many ways, it is moving even faster than it ever did before thanks to the uptake in mobile computing with tablets and smartphones. PC and Mac sales are not as robust as they used to be, an ...

How Smartphones & Social Media Fit Into Our Schedules [Infographic]
I just wrote an article yesterday about some of the trend predictions for the coming year, and one of them had to do with how we use our smartphones. Although our smartphones and our social media sites might seem like an extension of our daily lives now, apparently that is going to become even more ...

How Technology Changed Our Workplace Communication [Infographic]
There is no question technology and mobile devices have changed the way we work and workplace communication in general. What I'd like to write about today goes far beyond employees being available to their bosses on the weekends via their company-paid smartphones and people getting busted on Faceboo ...

The Risky Tech Behavior Of Young Professionals [Infographic]
Before I get into all the ways that young professionals are apparently exhibiting risky tech behavior these days according to a Cisco study, I'd like to first say something in their defense. I don't know exactly at what age someone is considered a "young professional," but I do know that my generati ...
Apple Released A New iPhone, So Now What?
I woke up Wednesday morning to the furor of Apple’s new iPhone launch, and I wasn’t necessarily overly excited to hear the news – I’ve become a little lackluster by the fact that the whole technology world revolves around Apple. Apple finally launched their new iPhone 5 and, I dare say, it received ...
Foursquare: Think Twice Before Cross Posting Every Check-In
I'm a big fan of Foursquare, the location-based social media site that allows you to "check-in" to various locations from your smartphone, and have been since I began using it more than a year ago. Apparently, I'm not the only one, because users check in to venues more than 3 million times per day.

Study: iPhone, Android & BlackBerry Users Ranked On Optimism
Think about all the iPhone and iPad users you know. Now think about the Android and BlackBerry users you know. Which group is the happiest, most fun, spunky one to hang out with? Yeah, I know, I noticed that too! I've always thought in the back of my mind that iPhone users seem to be happier, and no ...
Why Foursquare Is Worth Watching In 2012
Whether we use it or not, we're all familiar with Foursquare.
Over the past year though, I think this site has emerged with the greatest "it" factor while vying for attention in the midst of an eventful 2011 for the whole of social media. The biggest players (Facebook, Twitter and YouTube) were b ...
Take A Photo: A Social Experiment With Disposable Cameras
It seems like everyone is picture crazy these days. We all love to take pictures and share them, especially online. I remember just ten years ago when I was lugging around a heavy camera in my handbag. Back then, taking pictures always required a certain amount of planning with the batteries, the me ...
Here Is An iPhone App That Makes Popcorn!
People can't live without their cell phones, especially now with the smartphones that allow us to do so many things other than just send SMS and call. Internet browsing, playing games and making video calls are now possible. I guess the reason why so many people love the iPhone is because you can ...
eReading Anytime, Anywhere!
Reading novels is one of my favorite pastimes. It lets me experience new cultures, and takes me to other worlds. I believe the reason for my being able to design is mostly in part because at a young age my parents instilled in us the love of reading. This in turn has allowed me to use my imaginat ...
