Summary | "Hearables" are earbuds/headphones that work with artificial intelligence. They can translate foreign languages, be personal assistants, or improve your hearing. In the future, we might even be able to get rid of our smartphones because earbuds will have anything we want.

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”.
