🏥 How heavy use of social media is linked to mental illness
May 20th marked the end of “#MentalHealth awareness week”, a campaign run by the Mental Health Foundation, a British charity. Roughly a quarter of British adults have been diagnosed at some point with a psychiatric disorder, costing the economy an estimated 4.5% of GDP per year. Such illnesses have many causes, but a growing body of research demonstrates that in young people they are linked with heavy consumption of #SocialMedia. A survey by the Royal Society for Public #Health found that Britons aged 14-24 believe #Facebook, #Instagram, #Snapchat and #Twitter have detrimental effects on their wellbeing. They said that these social networks gave them scope for self-expression and community-building, but exacerbated anxiety and #depression.

☕️ Starbucks’s mobile payments system is so popular than Apple’s or Google’s in 🇺🇸
By the end of this year, a quarter of U.S. smartphone users — 55 million people — over the age of 14 will make an in-store mobile payment. More than 40 percent of those people will have done so through Starbucks’s mobile payments app, according to new data from research firm eMarketer.
The Starbucks app, which launched before the other three top payments apps — #ApplePay, #GooglePay and #SamsungPay — has long been the most successful payments app. It’s likely going to maintain that lead over the next few years.

💸 Amazon Prime's Cost is Peanuts Compared to its Value
By comparing all the sub-products of a Prime membership to similar offerings from competitors, JP found that #Amazon is selling its premium product under value. Whilst music streaming services like #Spotify, #Tidal or #AppleMusic charge their customers around 9.99 dollars per month, Prime Music alone is estimated to be worth some 4.99 dollars per month which would equal half of the price of a Prime membership.
