Intellitronix Files Patent on Weapons Detection Robot
EASTLAKE, Ohio, June 27, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Intellitronix, a wholly-owned subsidiary of US Lighting Group (OTC:USLG), today announced that it has filed a patent for a weapons detecting robot utilizing the Promobot LLC robot.“Intellitronix sees weapons detection as a growing market, especially in schools,” said Intellitronix CEO, Paul Spivak. “As a father, I cannot do enough to make schools a safe environment for children and as a Company, Intellitronix is advancing that effort through our software collaboration efforts that utilizes the Promobot LLCs robot which our company holds the exclusive marketing rights in the United States.”
According to a CNN news article, the US has had 57 times as many school shootings as the other major industrialized nations combined. Since 2009, there has been 288 school shooting in the U.S. So far this year, there has been an average of one shooting per week and while gun control advocates say curbing firearms ownership will help, Intellitronix believes weapons detection is at the forefront of curbing shootings – both in schools as well as other commercial applications.
Promobot currently does promotions and sales. It uses artificial intelligence to determine differences between men and women, age range, and has the capability of facial recognition up to 5,000 people. Its responses are customizable as well.

2020 Audi S6 Avant Leans Hard into Corners at the Nurburgring
While we're not happy about this generation of the S6 Avant downsizing to a V6, the 2.9 TFSI is an underrated engine that even Porsche believes is good. Hopefully, the Nurburgring can whip this heavy car into shape. Audi's work has been a little underwhelming lately, starting with the design of the A8 and finishing with today's facelift for the A4. So we were naturally disappointed with what's supposed to be a hot version of the A6. However, this ...

Hurify’s Hardware Marketplace Fueling the Next Generation of IoT Hardware Needs
It's just been two months since launch and the Hurify Hardware Marketplace is already trending. Buyers are loving how they get a higher value for their money while still being able to shop for all their IoT hardware needs from one place.
BELLEVUE, Wash. (PRWEB) June 27, 2018
A few months ago, Hurify began designing a new global IoT Hardware Marketplace which got launched in April 2018. The marketplace is like any other online portal where you can search, look up, find and purchase the hardware products you need. However, what makes it unique is the allowed medium of exchange – HUR tokens. This offers an opportunity to HUR token holders to buy from the marketplace without investing any extra dollars! Qualified token holders can order from anywhere in the world and take advantage of the global fulfillment commitment that comes from the partnership with Arrow Electronics.
What is worth mentioning is the adoption of an ‘open often’ model. “We chose to have an open model to ensure quick on-boarding of new sellers who can join regularly and offer products in one, or many, categories. We are working with manufacturers who are keen to offer their products directly through the Hurify Marketplace,” said Chandramouli Srinivasan, CEO of Hurify. “In the coming months, we expect to offer other subscription-based opportunities with our partners”.
Hurify currently offers products in categories such as Development Boards to Gateways to Hubs and Switches to Sensors, to Microcontrollers. The marketplace is a one-stop click-and-buy-store for all embedded device needs. Boasting an impressive selection of SKUs, there are over tens of thousands of hardware products catering to every stage of an IoT project lifecycle. The marketplace has picked up momentum and buyers are talking about how they are getting a higher value for their money. For example, the very popular Raspberry Pi 3 Model B is available online at $35 but can be purchased on Hurify’s marketplace for only HUR 195!
Additionally, the Hurify platform token incentive system will soon be adding opportunities to ‘EARN’ tokens as rewards to community members that contribute to the value of the ecosystem by providing product reviews of verified purchases, self-produced “how to” educational content and other social goods.
About Hurify
Hurify is building a platform ecosystem for project owners and developers to connect and collaborate on IoT projects seamlessly across borders. Hurify enables this collaboration by means of a smart contract system supporting all aspects of IoT solution development.

Almost half of millennials say they would rather give up shampooing for a week than stop using their phones
**· *A survey conducted by an app-based phone service Visible asked 1,180 millennials a series of "Would you rather?" questions, to find out what they would be willing to give up for their smartphones. *
· *Of those surveyed, 41% said they would rather give up shampooing for a week than forego their phone for a week, effectively their need to stay connected over personal hygiene.*
· *Similarly, other results showed some consumers are willing to prioritize their smartphones over entertainment, personal belongings, and caffeine. *
--------------------
What would you be willing to give up in order to keep your smartphone privileges for a week?
A lot of consumers say they would be willing to temporarily stop using household items or give up their favorite pastimes; some are apparently willing to adopt questionable hygiene standards.
As it turns out, 41% of millennials ages 18 to 34 said they would be willing to quit shampooing for a week if it meant keeping their phone for that same period of time, according to a survey conducted by app-based phone service Visible. All 1,180 respondents owned a cell phone and were split almost evenly by gender using the census' breakdown.
Entertaining as it might be, this statistic brings to mind the conversation surrounding smartphone addiction that has been consuming various companies, adults, and teens. While some argue that it's on the product and platform creators to help control our dependence on mobile devices, others say it's our own responsibility — and a good first step is knowing where you stand.
In the survey, a similar number of respondents (54%) said they would be willing to give up movies and TV for a month, while 28% said they would be willing to give up their pet for the week, 23% chose their phone over caffeine, and a small 17% took the 'take my toothbrush but not my cell phone' approach.
Given the capabilities of today's smartphones, it doesn't come as a huge surprise that consumers would be willing to prioritize them more than they did a decade ago. But these results — particularly the ones about habits we're taught are crucial from an early age — are an interesting look at just how a generation that has lived with smartphones for all or most of their adult life sees their mobile devices as necessity over luxury.

With New Suite of AI-Powered Solutions, Yotpo Helps Brands Display the Most Effective User-Generated Content Throughout the Buyer Journey
Fashion company Yandy lowers Facebook ad cost-per-click by 72% using “Smart UGC”
NEW YORK (PRWEB) June 28, 2018
Yotpo, the complete customer content marketing platform, has unveiled a new suite of eCommerce solutions that leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to collect and display user-generated content (UGC) likely to drive higher conversions based on past performance. Utilizing machine learning algorithms, intelligent assistants and personalized displays, Yotpo introduces a more dynamic and engaging experience across the buyer journey to accelerate sales. The cutting-edge capabilities are showcased in the new eBook, “The Next Frontier of UGC: Building a Modern Brand with UGC + AI.”
“Consumers crave authenticity from the brands they engage with, and nothing is more genuine than validation from fellow shoppers. Leveraging consumer behavior, sentiment and purchase data, intelligent user-generated content gives marketers a much more effective way to capture attention, build trust and accelerate sales,” said Tomer Tagrin, CEO and co-founder of Yotpo.
Earlier in 2018, Yotpo unveiled Insights, which applies natural language processing, deep learning and sentiment analysis to user reviews to turn feedback into powerful customer experience data. The same AI engine powers Yotpo’s new eCommerce enhancements to enable:
Smarter Content Generation· More reviews: Machine learning optimizes email review request send times tailored to the customer, the company, and/or the industry. Brands are able to generate more reviews, fast — improving order-to-review conversion rates as high as 10-11%, compared to industry standards of 1-2%
· Better quality reviews: An AI assistant encourages customers to write high-quality, in-depth reviews by suggesting relevant topics to cover. Topics are suggested based on previous submissions and buyer search history to ensure maximum impact on purchase decisions. Initial results show that AI assistance yielded a 61% bump in topics within reviews
Smarter UGC Moderation
· Auto-review: Sentiment analysis detects positive or negative sentiment words and phrases within reviews with an industry-leading 92% accuracy, allowing marketers to auto-publish positive reviews while flagging ones that might need manual attention and response
Smarter eCommerce Displays
· Personalized views: On product pages, shoppers will be able to customize their UGC views to quickly find specific information. In addition to a search-in-reviews function, visitors can filter reviews based on topics. Machine learning identifies the topics that had the most impact on purchase decisions.
· Review highlights: Optimized for the mobile-first shopper, sentiment analysis pulls key snippets from top-performing reviews and displays them above the fold.
Smarter Email and Social Ads
· Best reviews for marketing: Yotpo dynamically pulls the best and most relevant copy and images in email promotional campaigns, cart abandonment emails, social ads and more.
Demonstrating how “smart UGC” can improve marketing outcomes, specialty fashion retailer Yandy used Yotpo to revive their flagging dynamic product ads (DPA) for Facebook. Tapping into Yotpo’s Facebook Ad integration, Yandy was able to automatically sync five-star customer reviews that had influenced purchases. As a result, Yandy’s click-through rates tripled and cost-per-click decreased by 72%. Eric Polatty, Digital Marketing Manager at Yandy shared, “We have spent less money than our standard DPA campaign, but have driven 70% more purchases and seen a 78% higher ROAS.” More details available in Yotpo’s case study with Yandy.
“The Next Frontier of UGC: Building a Modern Brand with UGC + AI” provides a comprehensive overview of how intelligent, customer-created content is defining the future of eCommerce growth. The eBook identifies the forces redefining modern brand-branding; profiles how direct-to-consumer disruptors like UNTUCKit, Brooklinen, Greats Brand and Adore Me push the envelope on social proof; and showcases how artificial intelligence transforms customer content into a dynamic, personalized experience that drives higher engagement and conversions.
About Yotpo
Yotpo is the complete customer content marketing platform preferred by leading direct commerce brands like Away Travel, UNTUCKit, GoPro, and Esurance, an Allstate company. Yotpo’s AI-powered solution helps merchants collect high-quality user-generated content and use it to build a stronger brand and better customer experience. A combination of technology, integrations and partnerships enables brands to seamlessly leverage UGC throughout the buyer journey to increase trust, social proof and sales.

Primas and SohoMuse Ensuring Transparency for the Creative Industry
*SHANGHAI, CHINA / ACCESSWIRE / June 28, 2018 / Blockchain unites with creative social network in a landmark-**collaboration during Primas Press conference on June 24th.*In one of the first collaborations of its kind, Primas will provide the creative social network SohoMuse with a full range of blockchain based services, including the Decentralized Trusted Content Protocol (DTCP), economic incentives, and decentralized crawlers.
Primas uses blockchain technology to ensure the credibility of content, and uses economic incentives to accelerate the generation and circulation of high-quality content.
SohoMuse has long been exploring blockchain and its potential applications for its members; both companies share a common goal for the security and traceability of content, as well as the protection of intellectual property rights. Through this strategic alliance, Primas will enable SohoMuse to bring the highest level of transparency, trustworthiness and safety into their platform, as well as various aspects of the creative industry.
Kitty Lan, Co-founder of Primas, and Consuelo Vanderbilt Costin, Co-founder of SohoMuse announced the deal together during the ceremony in Shanghai.
Designed for creative professionals, SohoMuse is equal parts community and portfolio platform. The visually rich vertical social network is an online space where Creatives from all fields can showcase their work, network and collaborate with other members in the SohoMuse community, and source the best talent for their projects from virtually anywhere around the world. In the Creative Industry, transparency is essential, and the relationships between creators and agents, managers, producers, and media outlets are based on transparency and trust.
Primas will use the DTCP to retain and format metadata for each individual Creative on SohoMuse by generating a unique DNA. Regardless of how content is spread across the internet, it will always be linked to the original Creative. Metadata is extracted from all kinds of information and links between them are created. The metadata and links are then recorded on the blockchain to make them immutable and traceable. By adding another dimension of data to all the online content, the DTCP makes the content itself more trustworthy and usable. Primas provides a user credibility system to better protect and distribute content, this also makes the tracing of works on the Internet a much easier task.
SohoMuse co-founder Consuelo Vanderbilt Costin said, "SohoMuse and Primas have incredible synergy as well as a shared vision for the future of distributing content. Our goal has always been for our members to work more efficiently and network more effectively, all within a secure and trusted ecosystem of fellow professionals."
Kitty Lan, Co-founder of Primas added, "Primas and SohoMuse will work together to make the Internet a more reliable and transparent place for Creatives in the global Creative Industry."
Within this strategic partnership, Primas and SohoMuse are already looking for more ways to collaborate in the future. Primas will assist SohoMuse in expanding into Asian markets such as China, Japan and South Korea. SohoMuse will in turn enable Primas to expand their presence amongst a broader audience within the content industry, especially in the U.S.

HTC Partners with China Mobile on 5G to Accelerate the Vision of an Immersive Computing Driven World
Vive Focus reaffirmed to go to global market soon with even more phone-VR integration features showcased at the MWCS2018, accelerating the promise of premium VR to the masses.SHANGHAI, June 28, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- HTC Corporation ("HTC"), a pioneer in innovative, smart mobile and virtual/augmented reality (VR/AR) technologies, signed the "5G Device Forerunner Initiative" with China Mobile (CMCC) at the Mobile World Congress Shanghai 2018 (MWCS2018) to accelerate the proliferation of 5G infrastructure and devices in China.

Moreover, a number of new enhancements enabling even tighter integration of smartphones with VR devices were demonstrated at the MWCS, which showcased HTC's continued efforts in leading the convergence of the telecom and immersive media industries.
HTC was selected as a key partner for the "China Mobile 5G Device Forerunner Initiative" to collaboratively accelerate the development of next-generation 5G devices so as to boost mass VR adoption. The program aims to launch the first batch of pre-commercial 5G devices for a large-scale trial application showcase, encompassing applicable scenarios for 5G devices, product configuration, technical solutions, testing and verification, and product research and development. The joint effort will propel the development of newly enabled application models leading up to its 5G network's broad commercialization in 2020. In the near term, HTC will also cooperate with CMCC to jointly boost the sales of HTC products. By collaborating with the major telecommunication carrier in China, HTC aims to both advance the development of 5G technologies into our daily lives, and also accelerate mass adoption of VR/AR.
GSMA also awarded Cher Wang, Chairwoman of HTC, with "Outstanding Contribution to the Asian Mobile Industry", recognizing her perseverance in innovations in the high-tech industry. "It is a great honor to receive the AMO award from GSMA," said Cher Wang, Chairwoman of HTC. "HTC will continue to strive for ground-breaking innovation as we've done in the 3G and 4G eras, and support the construction of a more scalable ecosystem for interaction between people and machines. With the coming advancements in next-generation mobile technologies, the proliferation of 5G networks will facilitate new classes of use cases for VR/AR not possible in the past, leading to more rapid mass adoption and more natural interaction models for immersive technologies thereby realizing the promise of Vive Reality."
*Interactive Feature Innovation Unveils an Intriguing Future Lifestyle
*With its newly released VIVE FOCUS™ System Update 2.0, HTC demonstrated its advancements in converging its smartphone and VR/AR businesses by empowering the Vive Focus and smartphone with a series of integrated features. Users can soon stream phone content from hundreds of modern Android phones to the Vive Focus, bringing millions of existing mobile applications, games and video content from a hand-sized screen to a giant one in the VR headset. This new feature was demonstrated at the HTC booth at MWCS. Additionally, the capability of wirelessly streaming high-end PC VR content from VIVEPORT™ and Steam to the Vive Focus is enabled by a newly optimized version of the Riftcat VRidge tool. This tool will immediately allow the Vive Focus users to enjoy a library of hundreds of supported premium VR titles without any wires or any special accessories. Users can operate the PC VR applications interface either by using the standard Vive Focus controller, an Xbox controller and third-party controllers paired to the host PC. Updated VRidge will be released on Viveport M in the coming weeks. Even the major VR hit, Beat Saber is playable on the Vive Focus and was shown at HTC's MWCS booth.
The HTC U12+ can now be used as another interface accessory for the Vive Focus, and users can also now enjoy VR content that requires two-hand involvement, enjoying the excitement of interconnected phone-VR games. Vive Focus users can today download the VR rhythm game "Flashing Beat" developed by Chesstar Studios and published by Vive Studios from the built-in Viveport app store, and get the "Flashing Beat Mobile Controller" on any Android phones to enjoy the interactive game. Users will be able to live out their dream of being a rock star by using their Android phones to play the chords and the Vive Focus controller as the pick. This also is the first globally released hybrid game that fully integrates a phone as an integral accessory in a standalone VR game.
Another future feature will be enabled on the Vive Focus is voice assistance, allowing users to operate the device in a more intuitive and convenient way. The Vive Focus, world's first 6dof standalone VR device, was first shipped in China this January. HTC will be bringing this much sought-after product to the rest of the world in the near future. Around 100 native VR applications are currently available on Viveport for the Vive Focus and other Vive Wave partner devices, and the number is still increasing. Developers around the world who are interested in building content for the Vive Focus can already order the Development Kit here, where over 20 countries are supported for dev-kit direct shipment. Also, to thank the developers who have contributed to the success of Viveport in China during the year, developers can keep all the profits until September 30^th of 2018. Interested VR developers can visit (developer.viveport.com) to learn more about Viveport's developer community.
In cooperation with Warner Bros, Vive Studios produced the hit content, the Oasis Beta which allows users to fully delve into the imaginary world of Ready Player One. It is now the most downloaded app and highest engagement VR app on Viveport of the year. HTC is calling on developers from around the globe to join "The Oasis Expansion" program and submit their applications for future inclusion in the ever-expanding virtual world of the Oasis.
"With all the innovations we demonstrated around the tight integration of smartphones, PCs and VR/AR devices here at the MWCS, clearly availability of compelling content for VR devices is no longer an issue. We are getting yet another step closer to a future where our daily lives will be dramatically improved by immersive technologies," said Alvin Wang Graylin, China President, HTC. "HTC has had a long history of innovation in the telecom and immersive computing industries. We launched the world's first 3G and 4G phones, as well as the world's first room scale VR device and 6dof standalone VR device. There is no other company more qualified to lead the charge to drive further integration of the two spaces and innovation in coming the 5G-enabled future."
*Other Highlights at the MWCS:
*At VEC last month, HTC and McLaren announced a long-term partnership to bring new VR/AR experiences to the enormous 500 million plus F1 fan base. At the MWCS, HTC is already showcasing VR and AR content allowing Vive Focus and phones users to feel what it is like to be a McLaren F1 driver. The VR content will soon be available for downloading on Viveport with the AR content available on phone app stores.
Razer, the world's leading lifestyle brand for gamers also showed its support for HTC by powering many live demos at the event with its newly launched Razer Blade 15, the world's smallest 15.6" gaming laptops with Vive devices at the MWCS, aiming to provide the best immersive VR experience for the public. HTC also showcased the NextVR optimized for Vive Focus at the event, a VR livestreaming platform that allows users to immerse themselves in livestream NBA League Pass games on a virtual movie theatre-sized screen.
Last but not least, the #FunWithFocus challenge is currently gaining momentum in the cyberspace. The challenge aims to motivate users to immerse themselves freely with the Vive Focus, to show their inspirations and free-spirit in applying VR to their lives. Users from around the world are encouraged to accept the challenge by posting their videos or photos of fun activities with Vive Focus using the hashtag #FunWithFocus.

Proficio Capital Partners Named to 2018 Financial Times 300 Top Registered Investment Advisers
High touch management and tax efficient focus resonating with families and high-net worth individuals
BOSTON (PRWEB) June 28, 2018
Proficio Capital Partners, a multi-family office servicing as a high touch manager of both liquid and illiquid financial assets, is pleased to announce it has been named to the 2018 edition of the Financial Times 300 Top Registered Investment Advisers. The list recognizes top independent RIA firms from across the U.S.
With a focus on building highly tax efficient investment strategies for its clients, Proficio Capital Partners has grown to over $1 billion in assets under management since 2014. “We founded the firm after becoming frustrated with the lack of options for families to evaluate their true performance after fees and taxes,” said Bob Haber, Proficio Co-Founder and Chief Investment Officer. “To be named to such a prestigious list is a testament to how our offering resonates with families and high net worth individuals.”
To further facilitate their tax efficient investment strategy, in 2017 Proficio launched its own Multi-Strategy Insurance Dedicated Fund (IDF) series in an effort to generate highly competitive risk-adjusted returns through the construction of a highly diversified and actively allocated combination of asset classes and securities. The Fund is available inside both variable annuity (PPVA) and variable life insurance (PPVUL) policies.
“Tax is a huge destroyer of wealth and that effect grows exponentially with every generation. This is particularly relevant for families trying to pass on the wealth of the family business from generation to generation,” said Matthew Wosk, Proficio Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer. “We are growing our client-base among families who, like us, are focused on growing wealth in the most tax efficient way possible.”
This is the fifth annual FT 300 list, produced independently by the Financial Times in collaboration with Ignites Research, a subsidiary of the FT that provides business intelligence on the asset management industry.
RIA firms applied for consideration, having met a minimum set of criteria. Applicants were then graded on six factors: assets under management (AUM); AUM growth rate; years in existence; advanced industry credentials of the firm’s advisers; online accessibility; and compliance records. There are no fees or other considerations required of RIAs that apply for the FT 300.
The final FT 300 represents an impressive cohort of elite RIA firms, as the “average” practice in this year’s list has been in existence for over 22 years and manages $4 billion in assets. The FT 300 Top RIAs hail from 38 states and Washington, D.C.
The FT 300 is one in series of rankings of top advisers by the Financial Times, including the FT 401 (DC retirement plan advisers) and the FT 400 (broker-dealer advisers).

Neousys Technology announced the latest fanless embedded controller, Nuvo-7000 series, powered by Intel® 8th Generation Core™ processor and Intel® Q370 chipset (formerly Coffee Lake). As the latest member of Neousys’ Nuvo series, Nuvo-7000 features remarkable performance boost, rich I/O connections, flexible expansion and wide-temperature operation.
TAIPEI, Taiwan (PRWEB) June 28, 2018
Neousys Technology today announced their latest fanless embedded controller, Nuvo-7000 series, powered by Intel® 8th Generation Core™ processor and Intel® Q370 chipset (formerly Coffee Lake). As the latest member of Neousys’ Nuvo series, Nuvo-7000 features remarkable performance boost, rich I/O connections, flexible expansion and wide-temperature operation.
Benefited by the 6-core/12-thread configuration of Intel® 8th Generation Core™ processor, Nuvo-7000 series delivers up to 50% computational performance gains over previous generation platform. It also incorporates cutting-edge computer technologies like USB 3.1 Gen2, M.2 NVMe SSD and Intel® Optane™ memory for ultimate system performance. Its plethora of on-board I/O ports (GbE, USB and COM) feature sophisticated protection circuits making it rock-solid even when under stress from ESD and power surges.
Nuvo-7000 series features multiple Neousys patented add-on technology options such as Cassette module, MezIO™ interface and supercapacitor-base power-backup solution for extra functionalities. Users can install off-the-shelf PCIe and PCI add-on card(s) into the expansion Cassette; select MezIO™ module for extra functions such as DIO, RS-232/ 422/ 485, GbE, USB3 or ignition power control; it is also compatible with PB-2500J, Neousys’ patented supercapacitor-based power-backup solution. “With the system being immune to severe environmental conditions, such as high/low temperature and ESD/surge, the addition of PB-2500J further allows Nuvo-7000 systems to handle power fluctuation and unforeseen power outages. The combination of PB-2500J and Nuvo-7000 redefines embedded ruggedness and offers an extra piece of mind.” said Dennis Chen, product manager of Neousys.
Nuvo-7000 series inherits its’ predecessor’s superior thermal reliability, capable of operating from as low as -25°C (cold boot) to +70°C (100% loading) and it also comes with a dependable power design allowing DC power input from 8 to 35 VDC. Several models are available depending on user preference, including Nuvo-7000E (single PCIe card accommodation), Nuvo-7000P (single PCI card accommodation), Nuvo-7000DE (dual PCIe cards accommodation) and Nuvo-7000LP (low-profile chassis with hot-swappable 2.5” drive bay). Neousys will begin shipping Nuvo-7000 series to customers starting from the first week of July. Other GPU-aided edge computing (Nuvo-7160GC) and in-vehicle applications (Nuvo-7100VTC) systems will be available in Q3 and Q4. For more details, please visit: http://www.neousys-tech.com.

A new survey reveals almost 80% of millennials would rather lose the ability to make phone calls completely if it meant getting unlimited data
**· *Millennials know what they want out of their phone, and it has nothing to do with making traditional calls.*
· *A majority of the 1,180 millennials and Generation-Z respondents surveyed said they would rather have unlimited data and give up calling altogether than the other way around. *
· *There are a number of alternative communication methods users would have to pay to use if they chose the latter, and most people — particularly younger generations — hardly make the calls to justify needing unlimited minutes. *
--------------------
Phone calls could be a thing of the past, if millennials had their way.
While it isn't a lost communication method for everyone, younger generations see it as a dispensable feature, and view data as non-negotiable: a smartphone without a phone still has countless purposes, after all, while a smartphone without data is just a phone.
And given the option between no calling and no data, 78% of millennials (ages 18 to 34) said they would prefer to sign up for a phone plan with no calling and unlimited data over a plan with no data and unlimited calling, according to a survey conducted by app-based phone service Visible.
The trend is a product of stronger networks and their ability to seamlessly support other methods of communication like messaging and video calls without a hitch, negating the need for a calling feature altogether. Another large factor at play is social media, which not only requires data but is now accessed almost entirely via mobile — some of the newer platforms like Instagram and Snapchat aren't even built out completely for desktop.
But it isn't always about keeping in touch: About a third of respondents said they download new apps about once a month and 12% said they download new apps weekly. Most respondents were also well-aware that Netflix and Spotify were partially to blame for their data use; probably why 74% said they would opt for a flat rate plan rather than pay for what they actually use.
Most of the millennials and Generation Z (ages 18 to 22) participants surveyed claimed to be fairly knowledgeable about their cell phone plan, and it looks like they know what they're looking for in the fine print: data, data, and more data.
