Very interesting. Foldable smartphones are here. Bendable screen devices are coming. At the end of the day, I must say this is more about novelty than about practical functionality.

Smart homes are being forced upon apartment tenants, and they are not liking the new worries of the invasion of privacy and potential data sell-offs to advertisers.
