  Given that my grandmother is an elderly woman, I believe getting her an Alexa Echo a few years ago was a brilliant decision. I got it for her even though she isn't tech-savvy or remotely interested in technology. It would be an excellent idea to give her this gift for Christmas. I visited my grandmother a few weeks after Christmas to learn how she utilized Alexa and whether it worked for her. "No, Alexa is nosy and listens to your conversations," she told me pretty clearly before unplugging it. I thought my grandma was exaggerating at the time, but I now understand that these gadgets are meant to listen in on conversations. The absolute risk of Alexa listening to our discussions was an article that explained why Amazon violates the privacy of its customers by listening to their discussions in the comfort of their homes.

 Hello All, I decided to take a three-personality exam this week, and I must say, I never thought personality tests would be so entertaining.

Among the three, I preferred 16 personalities for a couple of reasons: first, I didn't have to pay a subscription fee to get my findings; second, the results are accurate and useful. I took a personality test a few...

As someone born and raised on the south side of Chicago, I am currently employed as a teacher in the same South Side neighborhood. Specifically, I spent my childhood in the Walker-branch and Woodson Regional Libraries of the Chicago Public Library system. I concluded that I wanted to earn a master's degree in library science at some point in the future because I would eventually like to leave the classroom but continue to work with marginalized children and community members. One of my favorite things about the Chicago Public Libraries is how they offer unending support, resources, and materials to the community they serve. At 25 years old, I belong to that peculiar group known as Gen Z, which takes social media somewhat seriously while also appreciating the little things in life, like spending time with loved ones, being outdoors, and even having a hobby (I was a...
