What is the role of technology in the high rate of isolation?
I think it depends on the person. The socially awkward have a place to go now. Not that they learn how to function socially in public but at least they do connect with people. Some may be upset seeing teens all staring at their phones all day but a lot of adults do the same when they have a chance.Read more
I think it depends on the person. The socially awkward have a place to go now. Not that they learn how to function socially in public but at least they do connect with people. Some may be upset seeing teens all staring at their phones all day but a lot of adults do the same when they have a chance. When I was a teen, we spent hours talking on the phone with friends rather than go their house and see them in person. Today, just showing up isn’t ok for a lot of adults – generally, it’s not even ok to invite yourself even if you phone first. This is not the case everywhere. But being online is not the same as real interaction anyway and when people want to see other people, they go out in the world and find them. It’s much easier to find people you want to hang out with with the internet too. Although, that is also allowing people to only spend time with people with the same viewpoint and while the world is getting more open.

This may sound rudimentary, but I’ve noticed it numerous times over the years and it drives me insane: Spelling and grammar mistakes. No matter how beautiful your flyer looks or how professional your email design is, if you make a spelling mistake or a grammar mistake, then I can’t take you seriously. I see it time and time again, when professional marketing teams fail to triple check copy and end up making a first grade level error that just makes me take them much less seriously. Reread your emails before sending them please.

It is really great for more technical stuff, but you can easily get creative with it - especially when coupled with other tools which are more powerful shape editors.

Another I’ve used is canva, browse through canva’s infographic templates and you’d be wowed at number of templates you’d see. Canva is free and easy to use. Formatting can get a little irritating at times but if you have little design experience it’s really approachable

A jury is often made up of 12 people, but more than 12 people are summoned to the selection process.

A jury is often made up of 12 people, but more than 12 people are summoned to the selection process. This is to make sure the jury is made up of a variety of people that accurately represents wider community. This means that even though you’ve been summoned, you might not get selected to be on a jury. As a juror, you must promise to do your best to be fair and open-minded. You make this promise by swearing an oath or making an affirmation.

There's a worry they will have some sort of infection like hepatitis from the tattoo. But they can donate again after a small waiting period and it's clear they have no infection.

There’s a worry they will have some sort of infection like hepatitis from the tattoo. But they can donate again after a small waiting period and it’s clear they have no infection. And in situations where there is no a drastic shortage or dire need of blood and they don’t feel the need to change the donation requirements to allow more donations. Blood donation centers can afford to be a little picky.
