That of my last breaths could be true, because the new digital era confronts the media with a chilling reality according to which, for those of us who have lived for seven decades, the compass by which we were guided is no longer the same and the planet Earth is now the virtual planet.

When constantly charging a cell phone to 100%, the battery suffers a higher voltage voltage, which would reduce its performance in the long term. When buying a new phone, one of the important factors in making a decision is the battery life, since the desire to have the device to be purchased is common.

If you’ve had a cell phone for a year or more, you’ve probably noticed that the battery doesn’t seem to…

Known for her roles in classic cinema, Hedy Lamarr was much more: inventor, engineer and ‘mother’ of technologies that today make our lives much easier But what few knew at the time was that Lamarr also had…
