Summary | Parents need to be warned about the hidden costs of supposedly free games. They are hugely popular among children and youths and free at first, like drugs where the first dose is often free, and then they get very expensive very quickly. Experts discourage parents from sharing their credit card information with their children. Addiction experts also advise parents to set up rules of smartphone usage with their children and enforce them - that is the only way how we can keep ourselves from getting addicted to our smartphones in a world of constant availability: by setting the limits ourselves.

Summary | Microsoft is planning to launch the ‘digital secretary’ Cortana with Windows 10 which takes voice orders, speaks back, learns the user’s preferences as well as manages, for instance, the user’s digital planner. Cortana is supposed to make car commutes more efficient thanks to the voice order function. The article expects chatbots to become more popular than apps because users can get the information they need in a conversational mode rather than through a number of clicks or taps in an app.
