We live in the age of social media. We basically live in social media. If we don't have a profile on at least one of them, we don't actually exist or we live behind nine mountains and waters. With smartphones, we can take great photos and use them to immortalize more or less important events several times a day, which we carefully "filter" before releasing them to the world. Daniel Wilson and Martin Adolfsson came up with the idea that it might be better to step out of the world of perfect and carefully planned photos and show themselves in a more realistic light.

A musician, athlete and horse lover by heart and profession. According to the sign of Aries, although I don't put anything on it. It just freaks me out when I get to the guitar store. I root for Roger Federer.
Summer is the perfect time to read books. When in the year are we free for several days in a row, away from the television and the computer, if not in the summer? We don't expect the most influential or richest people to have time for books at any time of the year, but we are clearly wrong. At least for one of them. Bill Gates is not only known as the co-founder of Microsoft, but also as a "bookphile". Every year, he shares with the public a list of books he recommends for reading. Are you curious about what he has in store for 2017?
You can find everything on the Youtube channel. Among other things, the "survival" test of two mobile phones, carried out by Adrian Isen, otherwise apparently a big fan of technological tests, which he then shares with the public. Isen decided to test how the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and iPhone 6S would survive 9 hours frozen in Coca Cola. Why exactly Coca-Cola? Because people love her, Isen said. He predicted Samsung's victory, but let's see how it all worked out.
Otherwise, work should not have much to do with napping. Or is it? If the nature of your work is mainly at a desk, either at a computer or behind a drawing pad and lasts for hours and hours, you have probably caught yourself yawning many times. Especially after a hearty lunch. Phew, it would be nice to take a nap for just half an hour, right? From now on, your wish will come true.
We usually look forward to flying in an airplane, if for no other reason than because it takes us to faraway places, on vacation, or because we simply enjoy 10,000 km in the air. Unless you don't. But there are not a few stories describing bad experiences on the plane; not enough space, bad food, annoying neighbor, unfriendly staff and more could be found. But you can take care of some (dis)likes yourself. A small pillow under the head, a pair of headphones or an interesting book can contribute to comfort on the plane. It is also wise to take care of your stomach or digestion before boarding. What foods should you avoid before getting on a plane?
We love recycled. Just because of the good feeling, because we contribute to a cleaner environment. After all, such things also look great, especially furniture. What about plastic, do we like it? If the answer to some is no, that may change now. The Dutch designer Ulrike Jurklies found a way to make a tea table out of recycled plastic.
Back to the future or forward to the past? Anyway, at Samsung they did some of this and offered a new foldable smartphone Galaxy Folder 2 for viewing. Retro is alive and kicking, so why not "dress" it with modern technology every now and then. Some other major mobile technology manufacturers are already doing something similar. Not much is known about Folder 2 yet, but let's see what they can serve us with for now.
Director Michael Gracey will brighten up this winter with a biographical musical in which Hugh Jackman, known to everyone as Wolverine, will play the main role, a role he said goodbye to this year with the movie Logan.
70 years have passed since the first flight that broke the sound barrier. That's when Charles Yeager piloted the Bell X-1 and made history for all time. Now, after so many years, NASA, in collaboration with Lockheed Martin, is planning a supersonic passenger plane. What is the thing that worries their engineers the most or scratching their brains? Let's see.
Summer is the time of travel and it is good to know as much as possible about the country we are visiting. And also about people's habits. By doing so, we show respect, expand our horizons and ultimately make our trip safer. In some parts of the world you will have to behave completely differently than in others, in some places you will have to say thank you ten times, in others you will not. But what about tips in bars and restaurants? In our country, it would be difficult to say that it is a tradition or a strong culture, but there are countries where this is practically a necessity.
A slipper, which one isn't? We'll call him a slipper. Because it is. Therefore, we want to wear as few clothes and shoes as possible during the summer months. If we're not walking barefoot, we usually only put on flip-flops or sandals. But there is also a different kind of lightweight footwear that you might like. It is also multifunctional. It is called Mahabis.
Haven't you always wanted a ring with magical power? Sort of like Lord of the Rings? To help you fly, become invisible or stop time. Well, we can still dream about the above (or maybe it will come true), but for now we'll have to be content with the Token Ring to help us in our world. We still have enough time for a fairy tale.
