S’M Tuesday (I): Adult Texting

Contributed by Rick DeVan on June 22, 2010 at 7:00 am ET

Resource: Adults Text While Driving Too!

Adults are just as likely as teens to have texted while driving and are substantially more likely to have talked on the phone while driving.

Beyond driving, some cell-toting pedestrians get so distracted while talking or texting that they have physically bumped into another person or an object.

S’M Tuesday (IV) Gaga’s Alejandro Sans Products

Contributed by Rick DeVan on June 8, 2010 at 3:53 pm ET

Like some people watch the Super Bowl for the commercials, I watched the latest Gaga intently looking for the products. I found none. Is this a new leaf for Gaga or all part of her marketing game?

Thriv’Able Thursday (I): Peak Water

Contributed by Rick DeVan on at 7:00 am ET

Resource: PEAK WATER: New Paper Identifies Limits to Global and Regional Freshwater Availability for Human Use.

Are we running out of water? No, Gleick and Palaniappan argue we will not “run out” of water on earth — but we are very close to using much of the renewable supply and in some regions we are well past the point of peak ecological water — where the environmental damage of human use of water exceeds the benefits of that water use.

I hope there is a way we can use our technology to stop this trend.

S’M Tuesday (I): Quit Facebook Day Busts

Contributed by Rick DeVan on June 1, 2010 at 7:00 am ET

Resource: Is Quit Facebook Day a Bust?. Via Time.

The truth? Facebook is just too big — and we get too much value from it — for any of us to truly leave en masse.

For better or worse, Facebook does give us too much value to leave. That is not saying that at some point in the future there may not be a mass migration away from Facebook to a different service. For now, though, Facebook is the big kahuna of social media.
