10 Jobs That Didn’t Exist 15 Years Ago But Are In High Demand Today

A phrase, we’ve all heard a few hundred times, growing up. And every time a relative or a teacher asked me the same, I would talk about all sorts of fantasies. Sometimes I’d say a doctor, sometimes, I’d listen to my heart, and say a writer and sometimes even a horticulturist (Even though I barely understood what that meant, back then). And there I was, at age 17, living in a time when blogging was a rage. And here I am, age 26, making a living off an occupation that didn’t even exist 15 years ago. But, it’s far from being the only one. The list below also features 9 others.

No surprises for guessing how yours truly chose to kickstart the list. Bloggers and content writers are everywhere and many of them earn very well. Some are self-employed and some work for agencies and media houses. Either way, a blogger gets to channel out their inner creativity in a brilliant way and to a potential audience of millions. Or maybe, I’m just saying all this because my bosses are reading. Just kidding. Or Am I?

Whatsapp adds Snapchat-like camera features

In a bid to take on Snapchat, Facebook is leaving no stone unturned. In a latest, WhatsApp has introduced new stickers in its camera features that have originally been used by Snapchat.
With the new camera features, users write or draw on photos and videos, as well as add emoji to express themselves. When a new photo or video is captured or shared like ones that are already on a user’s phone, they will automatically see the new editing tools. The WhatsApp camera feature further supports the front-facing flash and added a zooming feature for recording videos.
These new camera features were rolled out on Android phones yesterday and are expected on iPhone soon.

To that end, here are some of the craziest concept cars of 2016. Check it out!

Facebook Gets Cooler, Opens A Gigantic Technology Data Centre In The Arctic Circle!

Zuckerberg's such a chilled out guy - opening a data centre in the Arctic Circle and all that jazz. So, so chill.

No kidding. The size of 6 football fields, the technology centre is Facebook's latest venture. Located in northern Sweden, just 113 km south of the Arctic Circle, the centre is definitely Zuckerberg's new baby, for it's "the most advanced technology Facebook is building around the world." 
While talking about his new pride, the Luleå data center, Zuckerberg wrote,

"The temperature in the area is below 50 degrees most days, so we use large fans to pull in the outside air to naturally cool the thousands of warm servers that line the center’s broad hallways. A dozen hydro-electric plants operate on nearby rivers, providing a reliable and renewable power source. The whole system is 10% more efficient and uses almost 40% less power than traditional data centers."
