  •  
    For the past few years, the "sharing economy" has characterized itself as a revolution. Across the U.S., high costs of living are driving more of the employed toward "side hustles," i.e. unprotected freelance work, the kind fostered by the sharing economy.

Smiling for 'Auschwitz selfies,' and crying into the digital wilderness - CNN Belief Bl... - 0 views

  •  
    An extremely insightful blog post about how different generations tend often to have opposing viewpoints about sharing their experiences in "sacred places" through social media.
