Why We Need to Save Net Neutrality
For years we have taken advantage of our freedom on the internet. Every day we use social media like Instagram, Tumblr, Youtube, Snapchat, Facebook, etc. It has never occurred to anyone that these rights could be taken from us, and it shouldn't be. What allows us to control our internet experiences is a not-so-little thing called Net Neutrality.

Reminder to Be Mad: Your Video Games Are Still at Risk from Those Net Neutrality Rollbacks
When it comes to the use of the internet in my household, it's heavily used. We have Netflix, Amazon Video, Google Play, Xbox Live, PlayStation Network, Nintendo network, and even various music streaming services going at all times. It's a complicated matter on how our internet could be treated and how companies, as well as the FCC, are looking at treating it in the very near future.

The Future of Broadcasting
My name is Trevor Beard. Since high school I have always wanted to become a broadcaster. I followed news, sports, government and current events since I was old enough to read. Growing up in the 80s and early 90s I just missed the Gen X and internet boom. I graduated in 1994 from a rural Southern Oregon community. There was no TV, or radio station within 30 miles and the only media in the area being a now defunct weekly newspaper.

Will Social Media be the End of Us?
I grew up in what adults refer to as “the privileged generation,” “the technology generation,” or more specificized as “Generation Z.” We are the generation that started social media. There is no denying it in any way. Social media is any website or application that enables users to interact with each other. Ways of interaction include pictures, videos, texting, and calling. Through these interactions, users are able to become closer and get to know each other better. Social media is accessible almost anywhere in the world through technology and its massive advancement. This means that people from teenagers, young adults, and moreover to older adults are all able to use social media. Those at a very young age have also started using social media. Those users have been using websites and applications like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, and many other networking sites. These sites allow for quick and easy interaction with just about anyone, from family members to even complete strangers. A 2016 study by Pew Research Center found that 69% of Americans use some type of social media, compared to 5% in 2005 (Greenwood, 2016). Social media has changed society’s ways of sharing information and communicating with others. Though social media has led to positive changes in interaction, it also has its downsides.

Ciao Ending Payments for Reviews
It's been something that many of us have seen coming for a long time, but social comparison/product review site Ciao has announced that they will stop paying writers for their reviews and rates. The future of the site always seemed bleak since the announcement of sister site Dooyoo announcing that they will cease to pay for reviews in 2015. Yesterday I wrote my 300th and final review for ciao.co.uk. It is an end of the era indeed, but I will never forget the friends and memories that I have made on ciao.co.uk.

Have We Lost Something?
Is there something that has been lost in our modern age? Audiences have become unrulier. People have become more disconnected. Nothing is shocking or surprising to an audience who's gone numb to anything sexual or violent. All around we are a different society that is attached to the phones in our pocket, but has that caused the loss of something.

Automate, Digitise, or Humanise?
In one of the meetings that I had with a customer in Madrid last week with some doubts, which recently are becoming recurrent, rose up when we started a process of digital transformation in any type of business. Digitalisation or Automation? What is the difference? Is automating an improvement of digitalisation?
