Summary | In a study analyzing political discourse on Twitter, the researchers found that Republicans tend to get more retweets when they use emotional-moral language than Democrats do. This also rang true when looking at the presidential candidates: Donald Trump could impress far more people by using emotional language than Hillary Clinton. Ms Clinton was interestingly far further below the Democratic average retweet rate for emotional tweets.

Summary | A US study has conducted a large survey among teenagers and found out that smartphones are impacting their lives significantly. They sleep less, go out less, date less, are less likely to get (someone) pregnant, feel left out more, have more mental health issues, etc. Especially girls are more likely to feel left out because they spend more time on social media and because girls tend to bully each other by ostracization which is very easily achievable in cyberspace. Also, the teenage suicide rate has surpassed the teenage homicide rate for the first time in history.
