September 4th

Opinion: They Once Were Giants is about how many technology companies have their rise in the technological empire, and then they fall. One clear example is Nokia. Around 2000, Nokia was the biggest and most popular mobile phone maker. The "iPhone" of the earlier times was a phone called the Communicator 9000, which looks like a big phone, but includes a keyboard. Nokia's market value was around $300 billion. But then, technology evolved, and the newer and cooler phones such as the Apple iPhone and the Samsung Galaxy S4 came, out and despite the fact that Nokia still has some believers, their Microsoft 8 Nokia Lumia 1020 just doesn't sell as much as the Android, which about 80% of the market is purchasing. Now, Microsoft is purchasing Nokia for $7 billion.

Personal Journal: Models Strut On Social Media is about how nowadays models are being chosen for photo-shoots and advertisements due to their personality, which is shown in their tweets. Most of these models have around 100,000+ followers or maybe even more. Some examples are Jourdan Dunn, Liu Wen, Cara Delevingne, Coco Rocha, Joan Smalls, and Karlie Kloss. Before, most fashion companies just chose models if they were skinny enough and pretty enough, but now, models are being chosen if they have a personality that would really fit the clothing.  From now on, people will start noticing that there is a personality behind the modeling.
