    Why some say that Reddit will be more useful in the next presidential election than the news or newspapers. News programs are more likely to cater to their viewers opinions while anyone can post their opinion and debate on Reddit.

    What application springs to mind when you think of creating visual aids to accompany your business presentation? For most people, it's Microsoft's PowerPoint. But that's certainly not the only game in town. Plenty of other tools and services are cooler, faster, easier to use, and-in almost all cases-less expensive.

    For the math-phobic out there, don't let the word scare you. An "algorithm" is nothing more than a set of instructions, just like a recipe or how-to book.And the Internet relies on many, many algorithms in order to function properly. When you type search terms into Google, it follows a very complex algorithm to determine which results to show you.
