Summary | Nowadays, the perfect crime seems to be the one that is retransmitted live. Does that mean that fame triggers more violence? Social media have changed a lot of things, and one of them is the chosen way to commit a murder. Indeed, it seems that the need for public display generated some changes in people's life, relationships and egos -which anyone can see- but also an incitement to murder. Would the Cleveland murder have happened without Facebook live?

Summary | According to a study, seniors (64+) prefer using WhatsApp and Facebook because they can connect with their grandchildren. Also, using new media make them feel young and modern. With social media, seniors feel active and integrated. However, they don't choose social media to have more relationships; most of them already are very social offline. They like WhatsApp a lot because they can create groups (family, friends, etc.) and keep in touch with everyone. They also like the fact they can stay in touch with their grandchildren and share pictures with them. Seniors like to communicate using memes, videos, and images; it is actually more difficult for them to write.
