Even writers need to think before tweeting
Life, James Hein, Published on 16/08/2017
» Without the internet, there would only ever be part of a story. Consider the recent example of Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling. She watched an edited video and then took to the internet using her fame to decry the treatment of a small child by a prominent leader. Her concerns were quickly and widely spread but the unedited footage showed the opposite. Even the mother of the child finally got involved and asked the internet to please tell J.K. Rowling that she was wrong. At the time of writing Rowling had apologised to the mother but not the leader she smeared. In the current fast pace and instant Twitter-response world it is important to take a step back and do some personal investigation before reacting, often incorrectly, to a flash tweet or news story. If you see a clip try and find the full or unedited version, that extra time can save you from future embarrassment, though some personalities seem to be immune to it.

Lenovo carbon freezes rivals

» As a representative of a relatively young age group, we value speed and accessibility over functionality and security. You'll see an awful lot of young people who now use their mobile devices more than their PCs and notebooks. I see and know quite a few university students who prefer to use their mobile phones or tablet to do their classwork and consume media. Basically, what we want to do are sneak a peek on other people's lives on Facebook, casually chat (or spam) stickers on LINE and take plenty of selfies (or short notes, when required by our superiors).
