Summary | Chatbots are taking over the world. On Facebook Messenger for instance, you can ask a shopping concierge bot what you want to buy. The bot will then tailor options to your price range. This is what the future looks like: robot customer service agents. They will kill the customer service industry that we know. However, those bots will lack a human touch.

Texting and talking is ok for adults, but don't tweet from the table: Study reveals mealtime phone etiquette

Summary | A new study revealed some interesting results regarding the proper use of smartphones at the dinner table. Not all phone activities are perceived the same way; for instance, it is okay for parents to make a quick phone call or text during mealtime, but they should not tweet or post anything online. Also, an adult's use of smartphone at the dinner table is viewed as more appropriate as a child's. As a result, what is considered appropriate depends on who is present at the dinner table and what phone activity they're engaged in. The strongest predictor of appropriate use is actually people's own use of digital devices.

The second one represents a father and his son at the table; they are both using their phones. Series of two charts showing the details of the study.
