The wellness industry will probably continue to soar in 2024, as it did in 2023, especially with the help of Gen Z. To get a peak into what 2024 holds for the younger population, from pre-teens to those in their mid-twenties, Instagram asked them directly about their interests, which may drive the trends we see next year.In partnership with the Worth Global Style Network, a leading trend forecaster internationally, Instagram created a survey asking about the "topics, issues, and trends that matter to Gen Z," according to the platform's release for their 2024 Instagram Trend Talk.

Photo by Alexander Shatov on UnsplashTwitter, once a vibrant and influential social media platform, has witnessed a dramatic decline in recent years, transforming from a beacon of connectivity into a desolate landscape of negativity, toxicity, and misinformation. The platform’s once-thriving community has dwindled, replaced by a growing chorus of discontent and disillusionment.Prior to Elon Musk’s acquisition in 2022, Twitter was widely regarded as a groundbreaking platform, empowering users to connect, share ideas, and engage with diverse perspectives. It was a place where individuals could express themselves freely, fostering meaningful connections and expanding their horizons.However, under Musk’s leadership, the platform’s trajectory took a sharp turn for the worse. Musk’s hands-off approach and controversial decisions ignited a firestorm of criticism, with many users accusing him of neglecting the platform’s core principles and fostering an environment conducive to abuse.The once-cherished principles of open communication and respectful discourse became distorted, replaced by a culture of hostility, harassment, and the relentless spread of misinformation. Twitter’s algorithms, initially designed to connect users with relevant content, inadvertently amplified divisive narratives and echo chambers, further exacerbating the platform’s descent into chaos.Musk’s decision to rebrand Twitter as “X” in an attempt to signal a new era did little to

LinkedIn is extending its identity verification service, now partnering with Persona to offer ID confirmation to users in more regions. This collaboration allows individuals to authenticate their government-issued IDs, granting them a verification badge on their LinkedIn profiles. New regions for ID verification Initially, LinkedIn provided ID verification in the US through a partnership with CLEAR, known for its airport check-in services. The service was later extended to Canada and Mexico. Now, with Persona, this verification option is available to users in several countries, including Argentina, Australia, Bangladesh, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Indonesia, Kenya, Malaysia, Morocco, Nigeria, Peru, the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. However, availability may vary within these regions. Requirements and process To use this service, one needs a government-issued passport with an NFC chip and a device capable of scanning the chip. Most modern smartphones with NFC capabilities, like those used for contactless payments, will suffice. This expansion means more LinkedIn users can authenticate their identities, enhancing the credibility of their profiles. The role of generative AI and user verification As generative AI becomes increasingly prevalent, LinkedIn integrates these technologies into its platform, highlighting the need for reliable user verification. This is particularly important as more AI-generated

After months of rumours, whispers and hearsay, dear old “recession” might finally be here. The fires are starting to outnumber the hires and it seems like everybody you know knows somebody who just got made redundant. That means the job market is about to get VERY competitive, but we have a sliver of good news: You won’t be competing with Will Zalatoris for that job vacancy anytime soon. Welcome back, @WillZalatoris 🤝 He's making his first competitive start in eight months this week at the Hero World Challenge. pic.twitter.com/aX2GfziJyU — PGA TOUR (@PGATOUR) November 28, 2023 The three-time major runner-up is officially back on the job this week after a microdisectomy sidelined him for nearly eight months. Things weren’t always so certain, however, as evidenced by Zalatoris’ comments at the Hero World Challenge overnight, Australian time. There he told reporters that he not only went back to studying during his lengthy layoff, but even updated his résumé and made a LinkedIn profile. “It was pretty funny taking some elective classes,” Zalatoris said when asked about his academic detour this year. “All the kids were 18, 19 in the summers and I’m 27 and I’m writing my résumé for
