'Bring your own device': weighing up the business benefits
Newspaper | The Guardian

Topic Tags | smartphone
Summary | Some businesses let their employees bring their own devices (e.g. laptop) at work. This is called BYOD (Bring your own device). This way, companies can save money, and it's also more convenient for employees to carry one device instead of two. In order to avoid any problems, companies that work with BYOD need to come up with good employee agreements, and use cloud-based services. The article also lists several examples of BYOD companies and explains the (dis)advantages of the method.

Summary | With the increasing development of artificial intelligence, we can expect that a lot of jobs will be done by robots in the not-so-distant future.

Darian Leader: how technology is changing our hands
Newspaper | The Guardian

Topic Tags | addiction
Summary | Today's digital era is marked by the effects of new technologies. For instance, space and time do not have as clear boundaries as before, and relationships have changed too, whether it is a good or a bad thing. One of the ways in which new technologies impact us is related to the use of our hands. We use our hands and fingers for new movements, and as a consequence, more people suffer from hand problems now. We have always used our hands and kept them busy; they are a very important part of us. As some movies exemplify, our hands sometimes act without our will. The same thing happens with new technologies; it is almost as if we cannot help touching our digital devices. Hands are agents with power. When people are addicted to something (e.g. smartphone), they cannot control themselves.
