This is normal for millions of households in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, reports NextDrop. The San Diego startup sends text messages to locals in Hubli, India, alerting them 30-60 minutes before the pipes are opened.

To say the relationship between Donald Trump and social media has soured over the last few years would be an understatement. After all, the powers behind Twitter and Facebook have been trying to calmly walk the line between free speech and fake news since the election, while the president has opted instead to jump rope with it. Social media platforms have made the first steps in pushing back against the president when it comes to instances of misinformation....

As a result, many managers are being trained in enhancing teamwork through focusing more on results rather how many hours their team members put in per day or week. Many modern business organizations, especially those that are welcoming of millennials, are incorporating this strategy. Why is a Results Oriented Approach More Important Than Number of Working Hours? The world has become saturated with digitization and globalization trends. These trends allow people to become distracted and lose focus easily....

Distrust in data gathering practices is at an all-time high and users are itching to have more control over their data. Plus, with targeted ads getting a bit creepy at times, it’s fair to assume that users want to keep track of who’s listening in.
