Summary | It is prohibited to take a smartphone into your hand while driving - not to text, not to call, and not to check notifications or the time. One can use their smartphone via voice control or if it is mounted on the dashboard as a navigational unit. More and more car-targeted apps are becoming voice operated so as to make them useful for drivers.

(Eleven new words that we need urgently)

Summary | Our language cannot keep up with technological innovations and other changes. There are dozens of new scenarios that have no name and urgently need one. For instance the shame parents feel when their children join an idiotic fad like Pokémon Go or the neck deformation our generation will have from staring at a smartphone all our lives. Another discrepancy is that we have no catchy name for involuntary images taken of floors or the insides of our pockets. We also new words to describe intersex people or stretched out ears after a lifetime of ear-gaging.

Summary | The iPhone has many features that you may not know about. You can create shortcuts to type your favorite emojis rather than search them manually on the keyboard. With a simple touch of the home button you can reorganize your screen so that when using your iPhone one-handedly even smaller hands can reach all content that would usually be at the top of the display.You can have Siri acoustically announce who is calling. To improve your selfies you can use the volume button on your headphones to take a picture from afar. Also, to avoid anxiety from lots of app notifications you can just deactivate those.
