eSIM is the shorter version of the term embedded SIM, and this piece of mobile technology has the potential of allowing consumers to connect to cell networks more efficiently.

Voice controlled digital assistants are increasing in popularity nowadays, with services like Apple’s Siri and Amazon’s Echo allowing consumers to basically manage tech gadgets or retrieve useful information just by issuing verbal commands.

When cellular phones were first invented, they were big, awkward things. But through the years, phone makers found a way to make them smaller, cuter, and even more durable (here’s looking at you, Nokia). And then ever since Apple introduced the first iPhone device, handsets had gone big again around a decade ago. But it was in recent years that big sized smartphones, or phablets, really took off with the masses.
Well, at least for now. After several weeks of careful deliberation, the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has decided not to impose a proposed ban laptop devices and other personal electronic devices on flights from the European continent to America. US officials though maintain that they will be looking to take any and all measures needed in order to ensure the safety of any commercial airplane entering the US.
According to the results of a study recently published in the journal Computers in Human Behavior, it appears that today’s consumers are more likely to make a rational decision when encountering a dilemma presented on a smartphone device. The study showed that users on personal computers (PCs) depend more on intuitive emotional decision making, and thus may not always pick the most rational choices.
