    Have Smartphones Destroyed Humanity?

    HOT! 
    Excellent article, and timely for those of us with young families. BTW, it's a summary of a new book: "This article has been adapted from Jean M. Twenge's forthcoming book, iGen: Why Today’s Super-Connected Kids Are Growing Up Less Rebellious, More Tolerant, Less Happy—and Completely Unprepared...

    Those Of You Who Ship Physical Products...

    FYI, I've learned that the USPS now uses GPS to log the location of delivery for most/all packages. I don't know how widespread the practice might be, but in my area the postal worker can look up the exact GPS location that was recorded when the package was marked as "delivered". All you need to...

    The rebirth of transportation

    Just finished the article...and while interesting, it's terribly frightening to me. Call me a conspiracy theorist, but all I see is more intrusion/control by gov't and "big business". If the concept of the "ownership of personal property" is gone, then so is a great degree of control over your...

    The Reason Why "Good Enough" Is Better Than PERFECT

    MINDSET 
    As another individual that has struggled with perfectionism to various degree over the years, I've learned that the following has helped me: A clearly defined and well documented goal. If the goal of the project is vague, the perfectionist must define the goal for his/her self...and then the...

    Freemium 101

    Thanks for the primer on the freemium model. Admittedly, I've been the free user many times and become the paid user only on occasion...but I'd guess that's typical. And regrettably, I've only been on the customer side of the equation. Or 3. Your ads/limitations/sales-pitch are so annoying...

    Business name vs Product name

    Health supplements is quite a leap from information systems. I agree with @Greg Rutkowski, just START!

    I can't stand being on SNAP. . . . .

    Hi @Ivan M., that's quite a situation you've found yourself in. I'm going to take a different approach than most in this case and suggest a regular 8-5, manual labor, knuckle busting job...instead of something online or fastlane. IMO you need to change your footing before starting a business...

    The [SCRIPTED] Vault (Dogmatic Social Engineering)

    NOTABLE! 
    I understand where you're coming from, but I vary a bit in my perspective. I'd prefer to let people choose for themselves and accept the consequences/success of their actions. That girl may not have done the homework, but her grade is all on her. She paid the teacher to teach...that's on him.

    Should I leave my mining engineering job and start something else?

    Welcome to the forum @LateToTheGame, it's a great community. What was the type of business you had early on? What do you want to do now? Specifics aren't necessary.

    Hi @Vic Sage and welcome to the forum! It's a great community, just ignore the crazy uncle or two! BTW, I'm another budding entrepreneur that waited 20 years to figure out that the 8-5 wasn't going where I wanted to go. Don't let the number of young bucks here fool ya, there are plenty of...
