Check the comments section of many social media and digital news platforms, and you're likely to find a cesspool of insults, threats and even harassment. In fact, a Pew Research Center survey found that 41% of American adults have personally experienced online harassment, and one in five adults say they've been harassed online for their political views. But researchers at BYU and Duke University say derisive online conversations don't have to be the norm. A joint paper between the two universities found that artificial intelligence can be used to improve conversation quality and promote civil dialogue in online interactions.

As the country experiences cloudy skies with rain showers this wet season, it is common for people to experience the symptoms of the common cold.

Time is of the essence; a deluge of updates spread across the internet and social media feeds. Members of the public are eager to find information they can trust. False information can lead to harmful consequences.

Samsung Electronics' Galaxy Z Flip 5 allows users to access select downloaded apps from its enlarged cover display. [JIN EUN-SOO] The biggest strength of Samsung's newest Galaxy Z Flip 5 is how it feels like a dainty accessory, so much so that this reporter constantly wanted to take it out and check out the enlarged cover display and admire its pastel mint shade on the back. Its most significant weak point, ironically, also comes from the fact that it feels like a mere accessory, minus the significant tech and camera upgrades one would expect from the newest smartphones.
