Summary | Kellyanne Conways term "alternative facts" remind of Orwell's fictional language Newspeak which also changes meanings by renaming. Many facts of contemporary life (especially under the Trump administration) remind of dystopian novels "1984" by G. Orwell and "Brave New World" by A. Huxley. We all carry smartphones with us at all times with which we can send information but which also receive and document information about us like our location, who else is in that location, our communications, purchases, and so on. Privacy has become impossible in the digital age.

Summary | The canton of Zürich has alotted some funds to go towards smoking prevention. Prevention organizations who try to stop youth and young adults between the ages of 12-25 from smoking cigarettes are sure that the brochures of the past decades are useless today. The digital natives need to be reached on their online channels via smartphone. Simple informative texts also won't do: the teens of today need quizzes, videos, images, etc.
