Sometimes, big megatrends are sitting right there in front of you, or maybe at the table next to you! And yes, sometimes, those trends can even be spotted on a routine morning "research trip"/caffeine stop at your local Starbucks, McDonald's, or local coffee house.

A Crisis of Trust
It's never a bad day to be a billionaire. That goes without saying. However, Mark Zuckerberg, has had—by any measure—a no good, very bad 2018! From the use of Facebook by the Russians to interfere in the U.S. elections—and beyond—to the controversies over everything from hacking to cloning Facebook accounts and now to the recent revelation that Facebook had been allowing companies like Netflix and Spotify to not just access users' friends lists and other pertinent info, along with their private messages, the social media giant is truly testing the age-old adage that "there's no such thing as bad publicity!"

The Problem with Youtube: A Continued Downward Spiral
As most of you know, I have made articles about this same topic before. As time went on, I noticed that Youtube still had yet to solve its biggest issue; the silencing of creators.

The Tale of Boris, the Not So Intelligent Robot. Top Story - December 2018.
Ah, the Ruskies! They are seemingly everywhere, and seemingly unstoppable these days. They are manipulating our elections, if not our President. They are invading their neighbors and flying bombers to Venezuela. They even have a leader who at 65 still proudly, and often, takes his shirt off in public...

We Live in a Programmer's World
BRYCE ON TECHNOLOGY - Their perspective affects us all greatly. Click for AUDIO VERSION. Recently, I was putting up some outdoor Christmas lights and, wanting to schedule when they would turn on and off at night, I tried to adjust a timer to suit my needs. I didn't have an instruction booklet, just the timer. I had worked with many timers over the years, but this one gave me fits in trying to set it. What I believed to be on/off switches, of course, didn't work. Then I noticed the lights went on and off mysteriously. I tried many variations of the settings, but nothing seemed to work. Feeling stumped, I thought back to something my father told me years ago, "You have to remember, this was designed by programmers, and they don't think like the rest of us do." I then applied reverse logic to the settings and "Voila!" it worked perfectly.

Google+ Is Shutting down by August 2019
Due to the security breach that exposed half a million Google users private data, Google Plus is closing down. Google+ launched in 2011 and promised to be decent competition for rivals Facebook and Twitter. In 2015 it started to wind down most of the consumer functions, citing its failure to catch on backed by their reports that most users only stayed on for 5 seconds or less. I love Google+ and so do many of it's other users! We definitely stay on for more than 5 seconds at a time. One thing is the lack of engagement. You can like and share without feeling so much pressure to comment. It has become a favorite for photographers, who have communities and collections of food, historical sites, people, animals, bugs, fish, the Ocean, or whatever else floats your boat! It's so calming to click on my feed there and see all the pics of nature and animal shares posted in the collections and communities I follow. Someone who speaks a different language can post a comment. Then I can click a button to translate, and even respond back that I agree, the cat refusing to let that pizza slice go IS super cute! Not like I have, but I could if I wanted to. So, because a few private user accounts, that supposedly weren't even used, had been laced with a security breach bug, and Google Vice President Ben Smith says there is a 'low usage' of the social network, it's time for us to say 'Good-Bye Google Plus'?

Who's Listening
The entertainment industry is scrambling for money. Commercial cinemas are competing head to head with home audio systems. Yes, there are forum posts with actual cost benefit of buying a home theater system vs going to the movie theater. The music industry is scratching for every cent they can make by cross advertising product and pushing social celebrity status. Couple all of this with every kind of person alive trying to hit it big on every kind of reality show and social media outlet available, we are faced with a hard economic fact: popularity pays and it has never been harder to be popular.
