It seems like embedding these sensors into our clothing makes much more sense. To take things even further, sensor technology that is built into wearables can bring much more benefit to our lives beyond simply measuring our movements. Smart clothing has the potential to actually improve health and wellness if utilized correctly. The idea of smart clothes has been around for a few years. Unfortunately, nobody has been interested in taking things beyond the spitballing stage until recently....

This writing holds immense value for Speek. Each article drives users to our product, helps with SEO, and solidifies us as subject matter experts to potential customers, partners, investors and/or acquirers, assuring that we are an important contributor to the ongoing conversation. This being the case, people often ask me how they can get started writing, too. Rather than simply sending them the link to Bukowski’s So You Want To Be A Writer (which is great advice, but a little unfair, I think: you should be able to write a guest article for a blog even if it’s not 100 percent true that “the sun inside you is burning your gut”), I hope this article can serve as a primer for the wannabe guest writers out there....

While the societal changes are having their own effects, this can’t be entirely attributed to easing lockdowns. Twitter and Snapchat are experimenting with their own advancements, both platforms trying to push the envelope and see what services could suit their businesses. While some are in early days, these changes may have breathed new life into the somewhat plateauing social networks....

Fortunately every few months, the social media gods give and take away dozens of new features, so let’s take a look at what the biggest ones were from this past year....

The study, which was carried out by Brown University, found that the majority of tweets from bots about climate change fall into the denial camp, with very few supporting the evidence for its existence. It comes at a time when social media companies are under increasing pressure for their perceived lack of action on policing the spread of fake news. With news of Twitter recently suspending around 70 pro-Bloomberg accounts for what it calls “platform manipulation,” the Brown University report looks to shed more light on the question of who to trust online....
