Is 5G going to change our world? Here’s what you need to know
What is 5G? For most of us, the terms 4G or LTE (short for Long-Term Evolution) just mean faster mobile data. If you have heard about the incoming 5G (the fifth generation cellular network technology), you are probably thinking that it could mean even faster mobile data than 4G. You wouldn’t be wrong, but 5G can be so much more than just that. On a technical level, yes, 5G is an upgrade to our existing 4G/LTE connections. As shared by Huawei’s Deputy Chairman Ken Hu at MWC19 Shanghai, we can expect to see a jump in data speeds from 4G’s…

Are You An Instagram Husband?
We all love Instagram (we even wrote about it at length) but are we loving Instagram a little too much? In a #hilarious video, American talk show The Mystery Hour sheds light (no flash, please) on life behind the iPhone. More specifically, the plight of the husbands behind the camera (and you thought those bloggers’ boyfriends have it all good). Some are totally into it (eye-twitching notwithstanding). But most are not. “Behind every cute girl on Instagram is a guy like me… and a brick wall.” “We used to eat our food, now we just take pictures of it.” In mock social enterprise/Kickstarter fashion,…

Todrick Hall: YouTube’s Biggest Crossover Star
Generally speaking, mash-ups can either go really good or really bad. It definitely takes skill to be able to weave 2 (or more) songs seamlessly into a totally new track. YouTuber Todrick Hall makes short work of these massive musical tasks , as evidenced by the ridiculously virtuosic projects on his channel. His latest video series, however, are taking things to another level. Titled “4 Rihanna“, the latest video depicts four copies of him singing to some of RiRi’s biggest hits. This comes after similar artist-centric mashes “4 Taylor” and “4 Beyoncé“. BONUS: Read all the YouTuber inside jokes appearing as Instagram comments at…
