Amazon is already listening to what we have to say thanks to their Echo speakers. Soon they could be reading our emotions as well thanks to a new device rumored to be in the works. While such technology could be used for altruistic purposes, for instance, offering words of encouragement to someone who is frustrated or trying to cheer up someone who is depressed, since this is Amazon we’re talking about, it’s likely that the gadget would offer up product recommendations to suit our moods.

As often happens, there are multiple sources on the Internet about the origin and early use of acronyms, and none of them agree. One thing they do agree on is that acronyms didn’t gain widespread use until the 20 th century. source. These days, it’s hard to imagine our language without them.

Ever since I was old enough to realize there would never be a want ad in a newspaper that described a job I wanted, I've loved working in cafes. I never really thought much about it until a few days ago when a baffled friend of mine asked why I was so into it. His assumption? That working in a cafe would be a distraction. A distraction? Dude, quite the opposite. I do some of my best work in cafes.

It’s one of those words that will magically appear in a job posting, a company website and in the hard sell that the recruiter is giving you. Every company would put this above anything else if you were to believe what they are telling you. But what is work-life balance, and how does this affect you?
