Until recently, Facebook had dominated the social media landscape among America’s youth – but it is no longer the most popular online platform among teens, according to a new Pew Research Center survey. Today, roughly half (51%) of U.S. teens ages 13 to 17 say they use Facebook, notably lower than the shares who use YouTube, Instagram or Snapchat.

NOAH PROJECT: the first crypto city and crypto resort

🌍 The Noah Project is one-of-a-kind blockchain project aimed at creating the entire ecosystem for crypto enthusiasts, traders and people who wish to catch up the wave of innovative digital technologies and use them in real life.

The Noah ecosystem will comprise of convenient Noah Wallet for storing and transferring various cryptocurrencies, the smooth and easy remittance system, the world’s first crypto city called Noah City and a luxury Noah Resort, located in the Philippines.

All these projects will be fueled by the native token called Noah Coin (NOAH). It will become the key to borderless facilities of the Noah Project, including the crypto city and the resort.

πŸ’« The Noah City will become a real paradise for crypto holders. They will be able to spend cryptocurrency in various shops, hotels, restaurants, getting discounts and special privileges for using NOAH. Of course, anyone will be able to use traditional money like cash or bank cards as well. The Noah City is being built in Horizon Manila, the future largest business district in the Philippines. According to the plans, the City will open the gates by 2020-2022.

🎁 Besides the Noah City, the team is implementing another project - the Noah Resort. The luxury resort will be located within Dakak Beach Resort in the Philippines, with which the team partners. The Noah Resort is to become a top-travel destination for crypto holders to have a rest from the city vanity. The visitors of Dakak Beach Resort will be able to use their Noah Coins in all the parts of the resort and receive various discounts and gifts.

πŸ™ After successful funding rounds in early 2018, the Noah Project has already begun the development of the Noah City, Noah Resort, its cryptocurrency system for remittances, as well as its own Noah Wallet.

πŸ”‘ Noah Coins are now traded on several cryptocurrency exchanges: HitBTC, Changelly, Livecoin, Mercatox, Yobit and BTC-Alpha.

β€‹β€‹πŸ’‘ The Offlines!

In a time when your entire life can essentially be lived online, there are increasingly fewer aspects of existence which remain untouched by the #internet. Likewise, the number of people that don't use the internet is also decreasing. As data from the ONS shows, though, there is still a fair share of people in the UK that have never used the internet and these differences vary significantly by country/region. In Northern Ireland, 13 percent have never been online, while in London the share is only 6 percent.

β€‹β€‹πŸ’° The largest buys of tech’s Big Five: a look at M&A deals

In startup land, the mandate is to get bought, go public or die trying.

And, as far as getting bought goes, one of tech’s Big Five could be a desirable acquirer. They have a lot of weight to throw around. #Alphabet (the parent company of #Google), #Amazon, #Apple, #Facebook and #Microsoft account for a titanic amount of market value β€” close to $3.9 trillion at time of writing.

The largest acquisition of each of the Big Five:
1. Apple: Beats Electronics β‡’ $3 Billion
2. Amazon: Whole Foods β‡’ $13.7 Billion
3. Alphabet: Motorola Mobility β‡’ $12.5 Billion
4. Microsoft: LinkedIn β‡’ $26.2 Billion
5. Facebook: WhatsApp β‡’ $19 Billion

The chart below shows the number of acquisitions made by members of tech’s Big Five from 2007 through 2017.

β€‹β€‹πŸ“± How Long Do You Have To Work To Afford An iPhone X?

The #iPhoneX had a price tag of $999 on launch day in November 2017 making it the most expensive version of the device ever manufactured. Most of the time it was even more expensive outside the U.S. due to sales and import taxes. Even though many feared the phone could flop due to that high price tag, Apple reported better than expected results for its second fiscal quarter in early May. The company is still firmly on course to surpass the trillion-dollar mark in market capitalization.
