Summary | There are various new apps that facilitate professional communication between colleagues in the same office building but also in international companies with offices all over the world. Facebook has launched a new version of its social media platform called 'Facebook for Work' and it is supposed to combat employees using Facebook for procrastination/personal purposes at work and rather using the many communication options Facebook offers for efficient communication within the work team. Google Apps are also very convenient because they are available on all devices and have a huge array of functions. Other apps are Slack, Voxer, Instantbird, Yammer, and Pie.

The One Thing To Save (All) Your Relationships

Summary | Our relationships suffer because of smartphones. We live under the false impression that we are more productive when we are constantly connected with everyone via our smartphones when really the presence of a smartphone keeps us from actually listening to the person standing in front of us. We do hear them and acknowledge their speaking with minimal responses but we tend to get impatient and ask them to "get to the point". That person might however need someone to really listen to them and engage with their problem to find the point of the story themselves... Romantic relationships can also only profit from both partners being in the moment rather than multi-tasking with their smartphone. While we may think it is weird if someone turns off their phone for a date, it is really very respectful. The conversations that ensue in a smartphone-free environment run very deep and are critical for bonding.
