Big Brother?
I’m sure we all have theories of what the future will look like, and in most cases, this will be a ’Big Brother’ society where we are tracked and surveilled by authorities, government and even, employers.

Woof-Woof, Meow-Meow: The Petworking Stars of Social Media
There's hardly a person worldwide who hasn't heard of Darwin the Ikea monkey. A couple of weeks ago, Darwin, a rhesus monkey, was found wandering outside an Ikea store in Toronto wearing a sherling coat to keep him warm. Within an hour Darwin became a social media sensation, trending on Twitter and two help Darwin accounts - @ikeamonkey and @ikea_monkey.
