A new study explains why you donโ€™t see people hawking ugly cartoon apes on the internet as much anymore: NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, once vaunted as a revolution in crypto and digital art, are largely worthless. tinyurl.com/yc5n2aaa

In the early 1980s, a traveling executive accessed his office email through a Panasonic RL-H1400 handheld computer, using an RL-P4001 Acoustic modem at a public telephone. The Panasonic RL-H1400, initially introduced in 1982, was priced at approximately $600. I was fortunate to obtain the manual, which provided the following information: โ€œIntroduction: The Panasonic HHCTM represents an unexpected breakthrough in technologyโ€”a cost-effective personal computer that fits in the palm of your hand! This innovative device features a self-instructing multiple-choice menu system for quick program access, a self-defining function key system for customization, and a self-assignable keyboard for mastering complex programs with ease. Key Features: - Utilize your home TV screen as a display unit. - Print materials generated by your Hand Held Computer. - Connect your HHC to regional and national computer information banks via telephone, accessing extensive libraries and up-to-the-minute information. - Expand your computer's memory using additional memory storage attachments. - Benefit from an electronic teacher for high-speed reading, spelling, vocabulary building, computer programming, memory improvement, and more. - Enjoy a programmable scientific calculator. - Perform word processing, advanced editing, and filing. - Access guides for tax information, diet programs, and more. - Challenge electronic opponents to chess, checkers, and various other games. - Access BASIC and SNAP computer languages for creating your own programs. - Store addresses, phone numbers, instructions, notes, business or scientific definitions, technical tables, formulas, calorie counters, personal records, prices, recipes, tax and financial records, or any data you need to recall instantly. - Utilize a Clock/Controller to manage your schedule for days, weeks, or even years in advance."

Bad SEO Agency: Let's build links to the site's product pages. Good SEO Agency: Google tends to ignore a lot of links built to product pages. Let's publish blog content that internally links to product pages, and build links to that content. It's safer and more effective.

the year is 2038. lk-99 has revolutionized computing, energy production, and battery manufacturing. the average website takes 10 seconds to load 500MB of javascript and a typical laptop draws a kilowatt of energy for a battery life of about 6 hours. there is still no new housing

The response to the new @BBC_Teach @microbit_edu campaign has been incredible to witness. It's honestly so nice to be part of something that truly helps teachers and schools out. (P.S. Primary teachers, there's still time to register for a free classroom set!) #BBCmicrobit
