One of the most interesting things is the smart phone. It must have seemed like a miracle for something like this to exist. It was invented so recently that some people today have lived part of their life during which there were no smart phones available. When smart phones started increasing in popularity, we started seeing more of them until we ended up buying one too, and we are definitely grateful that we did. Now, smart phones are an asset to the modern life.

We’ve heard that many people say that they can’t live without their phone because it is so important to them. And it is. It is a package of everything. As we know, it provides us the needs that so many other things do. With having the required app, smart phones function as cameras, game players, alarm clocks, paper mails, GPS, etc.

And when you thought it can't get any better, it can! Statista says that there’s not a thousand, not a million but a whopping “2.2 million available apps.” There’s probably an app for everything. Such a resourceful object makes our life efficient. With our package of everything, people typically use it every day. The List says that “[t]he average mobile phone user takes 150 photos a month.” People no longer carry around cameras as much as they used to, and “57% of people say they use their phone as an alarm clock. 50% no longer wear watches.”

People say that it feels weird without their phone on them. It does feel weird since when we forget our phone, we feel so out of place since we can’t do what we need to do on a day to day basis at work, school, home, everywhere. We rely on our phones so heavily that it really changed how the world functions.

Now, we’ll have to wait for the next big invention to come out. One invention is the Tesla car, and it's something that could definitely catch on. We all drive so much that it would be something that we would consider at least once. There’s the autonomous vehicle where we can drive ourselves around. It hasn’t come out yet, but it is something that can definitely become an asset to every day lives. Like CNBC says, it is reasonable to say that it “may seem like the stuff of science fiction.” For something from a science fiction movie to happen in the real world would seem miraculous, just like how the smart phone once seemed.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
