We’ve seen 3D printed clothes, 3D printed car parts, and 3D printed organs. Even small establishments have been made using this technique. But erecting an entire building, complete with the furniture inside it, using a 3D printer isn’t something you see every day.

You can’t deny the existence of multitasking in computers, but you can (and should) deny it when it comes to your brain, according to Devora Zack, speaker, coach, and author of three bestsellers.
Zack’s latest book, Singletasking: Get More Done – One Thing at a Time, portrays multitasking as a folk tale, a legend, a fable. The reason is simple. In the author’s own words…:

Since I started work at 4PSA, I’ve been getting all these questions about VoipNow (the company’s flagship product). ‘How does it work?’ ‘Who does it target?’ And I tell them: Wherever there’s need for a solid communication framework, this is the tool for the job. In fact, you might be on the receiving end without knowing.

Rationality is described as the quality of being reasonable when hard facts are to be considered. It represents a balance between bias and the person’s reasons for that bias, but also one’s actions with respect to the reasons for action. Psychology, economics, and even artificial intelligence as sciences place tremendous focus on reasoning.
But what would society be like if people were perfectly rational? According to Julia Galef, president and co-founder of the Center for Applied Rationality (CFAR), “…our confidence in a claim would match the amount of evidence backing it up. We’d change our minds in response to good arguments. We wouldn’t stay stuck in jobs or relationships we hate, or make the same mistakes again and again.”

The death of fixed phones is near. But there’s one place on the planet where this is more obvious than anywhere else: Africa. Landlines are almost nowhere to be found south of the Sahara desert, while cell phones are anything but scarce, according to the results of a Pew Research Center survey of seven African nations. But despite the cell phone’s increased popularity in Africa, far less people own a smartphone there than in the United States.

Charlie Chaplin and Albert Einstein shared very few traits. The former was an entertainer, the latter, a mathematical genius. But the two did have some common ground: wits.
Two of the best known people of the 1900s, Chaplin and Einstein once found themselves walking together in Hollywood. The duo received cheers from fellow pedestrians, and while Chaplin was used to the feeling, the scientist was left in awe. According to a memoir by Einstein’s physician and friend, János Plesch, Chaplin famously remarked:

By connecting workers in efficient and intuitive ways, Unified Communications (UC) addresses many business challenges. Whereas UC was originally implemented simply to cut costs and ease IT administration by converging data and voice networks, it has evolved into a mission-critical resource for businesses across all industries as they struggle to enable comprehensive and seamless collaboration across platforms, systems, and devices.

According to the “Enterprise Unified Communications and Voice Equipment” report by IHS Infonetics, global enterprise PBX revenue fell 6 percent in the first quarter of 2015 (year-over-year), as more and more businesses are said to have discovered the cloud.
According to the Canadian edition of Deloitte’s Human Capital 2015 Trends report, ‘Canadian perspectives on the new world of work,’ organizations are having a hard time developing leaders in the modern, multi-generational workplace. And who can blame them? Leaders don’t grow on trees.
The cloud is on the rise. Just shy of 80% of organizations are seriously considering adoption in one form or another, and almost 40% have already implemented cloud products and services in their operations. But according to research carried out by International Data Corporation (IDC) on 19,080 worldwide IT and LOB (line of business) respondents, mature Cloud-centric organizations are hard to come by.
