Platforms have existed for decades, but the modern platform economy has completely disrupted traditional business models in ways that have enhanced and continue to benefit our lives. But what exactly is a platform? A platform is a product or service that is reliant on a feedback-generating ecosystem to grow and thrive. As the platform scales, it offers more products and services, thereby attracting more users, who will then provide more feedback for the platform to expand. There are hundreds of platform companies around the world – think Etsy, eBay, Amazon – focusing on education, commerce, travel, and more, and while a company can sell you a bounty of products—from books to backpacks—a platform can transform an entire industry with sets of solutions.

Got WiFi dead spots? Consider a mesh network system

With so many smart home gadgets in the house these days, you may need WiFi in areas like the basement, garage, or even outside to power your smart doorbell or outdoor camera. But chances are your current router doesn’t cover your entire home, and you’re left with dead spots – those areas in your house where your wireless signal inexplicably seems to disappear. 

With all the devices, metal appliances, and architectural interference in the average home, it’s no wonder why even the fastest, most powerful WiFi router can miss a few spots. But before you invest in another wifi extender that delivers a weaker signal, think about using a mesh WiFi system.  Read more…

Today, technology receives more than just a casual mention in most parenting handbooks and mommy blogs. Parents of elementary school-age kids are in a particularly befuddling spot as their kids begin dabbling in digital devices both at school and at home. In some cases, parents report that their kids know how to navigate tech better than they can. At the same time, parents aren’t always sure how to introduce their kiddos to technology in a way that’s balanced, educational, and fosters growth and development

Amazon and Mashable are exploring how technology affects modern parenting. Be sure to check out the article on infants (babies between 0-12 months) and useful parenting tech here, and continue reading the series with this article about how kids in pre-K and kindergarten can start exploring digital technology.

Technology and young kids: What parents should know about pre-K kids and high-tech learning

Parenting in a digitally inundated environment presents dilemmas for many moms and dads. Should kids be able to use a tablet before their first day of kindergarten? How can parents teach their children to be responsible digital citizens? These are just a few of the questions that arise when it comes to exposing kids to technology.

According to the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), tech — when used “intentionally and appropriately,” of course — can provide “adaptive scaffolds to help children progress in skills development.” In other words, technology can be a useful aid to support kids’ learning, as it opens them up to new content, skills, ideas, and possibilities.

 Gamers want the best gaming experience possible, which means high-resolution visuals and liquid-smooth gameplay.

AMD’s Ryzen processors and Radeon Graphics power a variety of systems for different gaming needs and budgets, and with this guide, you’ll be able to gift the gamer in your life with ease. 

Taking gameplay to the next level

You don’t need to spend thousands of dollars to get the power needed to run today’s top games, but when it comes to that second-hand laptop Junior has been using to play Fortnite, it’s time for an upgrade.

Giving back and building a better future through FinTech

With initiatives like Giving Tuesday on November 27, today’s global community has greater opportunities than ever before to help those in need. A credit to the internet’s shrinking of the globe, social platforms and always-on digital media can shine a constant spotlight on causes, organizations, and communities that otherwise might slip under our attention—and on the broader importance of giving back our time, resources, and money to charity, whomever we choose as their recipients

But the question remains of just how to best help others. In America, do we prefer to give our money or volunteer our time when considering our own charitable efforts? According to a recent Citi study, 55% of people who do not contribute their time to positive social change causes wish they could, and two out of three people who do contribute their time wish it was easier to do so. In other words, people want to give their time and skills to charitable causes, not just their money. Read more…
