...generation ages and we become parents, how will our relationship with Facebook change? Many will deactivate their accounts or restrict their profile to a name, bland picture and work/education info. Facebook will become for us little more than a phonebook with pictures.

She was following labor rules, we presume, but the handoff was less than smooth...
...town of Desert Hot Springs doesn't offer much besides bland housing tracts and windmills spinning lazily alongside the highway, but there are plenty of worthy sights nearby, among them the stunning Joshua Tree National Park and Palm Springs' cluster of Frank Lloyd Wright buildings. But when a place like Hope Springs really does exist, sometimes it's better to make like a Hollywood luminary on the run. Take a room...
