9 Gründe, warum du dich auf den 30. freuen kannst
(9 reasons why you can look forward to your 30st)

Summary | One of the reasons why becoming 30 years old right now is not so bad is that one is practically a digital native but remembers a time before omnipresent internet and digital devices. One knows how to use all things digital, i.e. "speaks the language of the zombies", but knows how to avoid becoming a zombie.

Elf neue Wörter, die wir dringend brauchen
(Eleven new words that we need urgently)

Summary | Our language cannot keep up with technological innovations and other changes. There are dozens of new scenarios that have no name and urgently need one. For instance the shame parents feel when their children join an idiotic fad like Pokémon Go or the neck deformation our generation will have from staring at a smartphone all our lives. Another discrepancy is that we have no catchy name for involuntary images taken of floors or the insides of our pockets. We also new words to describe intersex people or stretched out ears after a lifetime of ear-gaging.

Dein iPhone kann etwas, das du nicht kennst...
(Your iPhone can do something that you don't know about...)

Topic Tags | (mental) health, emojis, smartphone
Summary | The iPhone has many features that you may not know about. You can create shortcuts to type your favorite emojis rather than search them manually on the keyboard. With a simple touch of the home button you can reorganize your screen so that when using your iPhone one-handedly even smaller hands can reach all content that would usually be at the top of the display.You can have Siri acoustically announce who is calling. To improve your selfies you can use the volume button on your headphones to take a picture from afar. Also, to avoid anxiety from lots of app notifications you can just deactivate those.
