Don't Air Out your Dirty Laundry

I firmly believe in the usefulness of social media. From Facebook and Twitter to Instagram and Snapchat, social media has become an incredible tool for the modern world. I mean just look at all it can do. It has become a photo album, instant messenger, news center, advertising hub, and even a media resume. However, I do not believe that these tools were ever meant to be used as a diary.

I am all for reaching out to others when there are issues or things go wrong. I believe that talking to love ones and laying problems out for solving is an essential part of handling issues. Having said that, problems should be solved with loved ones, not the world. I don't see that a Facebook post or not-so-subtle tweet is an appropriate avenue for handling issue. If you are having a problem, contact someone and talk it out. Don't post your problems for all to see, and don't use these platforms as a means to attack another. How is that the proper way to solve an issue?

I am a firm believer that you do NOT air out dirty laundry; it is simply not the proper way to address a problem. If you have a problem with someone, speak to them directly. If you are having a relationship issue, handle it amongst yourselves. Have enough respect for yourself and for others to be an adult and handle problems the mature way: not in a public forum.

13 Reasons Why shows why it is not as easy as blaming technology for our societal problems

IMAGE: IMDB Let's start with a little background for those that are not familiar. 13 Reasons Why is a Netflix show that follows the story of Hannah Baker, or rather, the story after Hannah Baker. After intense bullying, harassment, and ultimately sexual assault, Hannah takes her own life leaving behind a set of tapes detailing the reasons she committed suicide. In the newly released season two, 13 Reason follows the trial in the lawsuit between Hannah's parents and the school district. An incredibly graphic show, 13 Reasons leaves little to the imagination. Hannah's suicide is shown fully on screen as are the various depictions of sexual assault including the now controversial scene featuring character Tyler in the season two finale. Designed to instigate discussion about some of the darker sides of society, 13 Reasons Why remains polarizing for how it depicts certain topics; however, one topic that is rarely discussed or mentioned is the affect that technology has on

RCS (Chat) may finally push carriers to give us the plans we really want

IMAGE: TechAdviser.co When The Verge first released its exclusive analysis on the future of Google messaging including the seeming death of Allo, the branding of Chat, and the push toward RCS, I did not think too much of it. After all, I had been reading about Rich Communication Services as the successor to Short Message Service for years; the popularity of apps such as WhatsApp, Messenger, and iMessage showed that people loved the feeling of more personalized messages. Uncompressed pictures and stickers were just the beginning of what RCS was capable as in-thread boarding passes started to become a reality. Unfortunately, as is always the case, carriers and companies could not agree on a profile for universal RCS leading to no direction and no adoption; Apple sitting comfortably on the outside with the exclusivity of iMessage did not help the matter either. However, Google with Chat seems to have put RCS back on track. As noted in the article, many carriers and manufacturers h

How 30 minutes more per Morning Changed my Life - Part 2

Body I think the most obvious change (and the one I had most sought after) was too my body. After the holidays, I felt miserable with both how I looked and how I felt. I had not been doing anything physical and had consumed more food in a short amount of time than I had done all year. This state of mind is what led me to undertake this journey in the first place. However, unlike when I was going to the gym, I chose to also completely change my diet. I decided that to completely invest in the program, I needed to quit sabotaging my own results. I gave up on almost all sugars, quit drinking soda, and began monitoring everything that went in to my body. While it is not only more expensive, but also more time consuming, to change my diet, I have found the results to be well worth it. I have found that in only two months that the changes have been night and day. I have completely lost every bit of weight that I put on during the holidays as well put mysel
