Don’t like free service, pay for youtube premium. My family and I share YouTube premium and we love it. my nephews and nieces are shielded from ads on YT. To be honest I would pay money for ad free services.

I am using zoom for school with 300 students and it works great. My professors who are not tech savvy were able to use it without problem. Zoom makes recording, screen sharing and chatting much easier than other softwares. Also, I like how easy it is to call in.

Also, at my work we use zoom for everything. It is a powerful software that we love.

Get Young and Freedman- university Physics and start working on problems. You can find help with those problems online. Make a study guide with timeline. Make flash cards and learn the equations. Find exams online and take those just like you were in school and have a friend grade it.

I believe TikTok is great for younger generation. It lets them be silly without any filters and photoshop.

I believe the 6 seconds wasn’t enough for people to be creative. TikTok started with 15 second and one minute plus they implemented soundtrack system and great machine learning algo

There are two things happening in social media world right now.

First, when it comes to messaging friends and connecting with people most college kids uses Snapchat. I am in a big college and everyone at my university uses Snapchat for messaging. I believe that it is smart for Snapchat to default on camera when opening the app this way it keeps the distraction away and you can focus on whatever you were planning to do like reading a message plus it is a good privacy oriented platform.

Second, when it comes to being silly and occupy boredom, kids are using tiktok. TilTok has a great recommendation algorithm. Sometime, if I don’t pay attention I can spends hours on the app. TikTok became a safe space for younger generation, where they don’t need filters and photoshop to be part of a community.

Here is a great article in WSJ about TikTok

I love all these books except the four hour work week. I do not believe Tim understand what it takes for a person in low income class to be successful.

One IPhone you can turn Do Not Disturb option and only allow calls from your contact list. All other calls will be muted. Also, I do not answers numbers which I do not recognize and send it to voicemail, If they don’t leave voicemail I will add that number to my block list.
