Summary | Facebook has already conquered a lot of areas of our lives, but the office is not one of them. However, Facebook just unveiled a new version of Facebook designed entirely for the office. Workers will be able to update their status, post photos and videos, like and comment on posts and chat with co-workers. The goal of the platform is not to kill emails, but eventually that's what might happen.

Are teenagers having less sex – and is social media the reason why?

Summary | Teenagers are having less sex; is it because of new media? One theory says that it might be because young people spend more time in their bedroom in front of their screen and less time socializing and getting drunk with friends. The drop in teenage pregnancies is also accompanied by a drop in teenage drinking levels. A US report claims that teenagers spend 9 hours each day on social media, and kids between 8 and 12 spend 6 hours online each day. Japan has one of the lowest birth rates in the world, and they even coined the word 'sekkusu shinai shokogun' which means “celibacy syndrome”.
