What I learned from this article is the percentage of certain age and generations of current use of technology; desktops, televisions, mobile devices, apps, etc. We live in a society where we're mostly find our entertainment through technology and sometimes depend on it, especially the younger generations.
To be honest, Nothing surprised me about the result of the numbers at all. As each generation goes by, we are being more and more dependent on technology and it doesn't look like we're going to stop anytime soon since we're still developing even better technologies. I hate to admit but I'm one of those people, I'm really dependent on technology (especially with the internet), when it comes to either information, entertainment, communication, etc.
When looking at the chart on page 39, Demographics Composition % of Major Social Networks, does this accurately represent the people you know in these age categories? Yes and no, multiple reasons. If this chart is representing as in now, there is some apps that are completely different with the percentage now, for an example; Facebook, all of my friends that are the same age range use it. There is more younger audience now because of the "memes" (internet inside jokes), streamers are being more common, groups being created, and many more.
Vine is gone.
Snapchat is still about the right percentage.
I have no idea who uses Pininterest.
And the rest, looks about right.

Linkedln
I've been asked "What is Linkedln and what its purpose?", you hear it almost in every professional setting; whether it's in college, work, office, etc. Well Linkedln is one of the most popular social media platform that is geared towards professionals, it is like Facebook but for your career.
Linkedln is an American business and employment-oriented service that operates in websites and mobile apps. It is founded on December 28, 2002, and launched on May 5, 2003 by Konstantin Guericke, Jean-Luc Vaillant, Eric Ly, Reid Hoffman, and Allen Blue.
Now, why should you even consider using Linkedln? Well it's for people who are interested in taking their career more seriously by looking for new opportunities and to connect with other professionals.
Making connections in Linkedln is like sending a friend request on Facebook, and you can converse through private message and share your and the person you have connection with, each other's professional experience and achievements.
Although, majority of the people use Linkedln for getting back in touch with old colleagues. You can use the My Network section to find old colleagues, classmates, teachers, etc.
And it's also mainly used for using their profile as their resume. Using Linkedln profile basically represent a more complete resume.
I personally do not use it regularly but I've used it in the past to use it as a resume.

Laughing All the Way to Work
I was scrolling through a blog called "Laughing All the Way to Work: A Survival Blog for Today's Administrative Assistant" by Patricia Robb and while scrolling through that blog, I found a post called "Ctrl keys are a real timesaver". What Patricia Robb explains in that blog post is her co-worker is having frustration trying to use the paste function and Patricia explained to her that she could simply just Ctrl + v.
She's been using the Ctrl functions for years and explained some of the Ctrl functions does, she also said it will take some time to get used to the Ctrl function but it can shave seconds during your work time or just in general whenever you're using the computer.
I'm 100% on board of everything she says, I always use the Ctrl function every time I have to use the computer; whether it's posting a link to friends, copying a link, using Microsoft Word or using a drawing program.
My favorite Ctrl function is the Ctrl + z (the undo function), it's a Gods' send that this exists, while drawing on a drawing software; you'll make a ton of mistakes, and when I meant ton of mistakes, I mean a TON of mistakes. So imagine this, you're using a brush tool, pen tool, etc. and made the stroke you've made, but it doesn't look right, you have to use the erase tool to fix that, then you go to use the pen tool again, oops, it doesn't look right again, and so on so forth. So you can imagine the amount of time going back and forth with the pen tool and erase tool and that will definitely stack up the time each time that happens, but if you simple just use the Ctrl + z function; it instantly undo that action you've made.
I also use the Ctrl + z function while using Microsoft Word, whether it's moving a picture, made a misclicked, or made any mistake. There's actually a undo and redo function on the left of the software, Ctrl + y for the redo and Ctrl + z for the undo as you already know. You can use that but you can save 1-2 seconds if you just use the Ctrl function. Wouldn't it be great if all of us have a undo function in real life?
So if you want to save time and have less frustrations, just memorize Ctrl functions, and you're on your way being time saving monster.
