Guys, those who are spending 60% of your day in the internet are more vulnerable to the damage of your immune system.If  this is true....I would have been dead by now! Haha!

Scientists from Swansea and Milan universities have proved that people who are addicted to the internet are more likely to be easily infected by flu and common cold. They surveyed around 500 people ranging from 18 years to 101 years.People who complained of frequent infections were those who used Internet half of the day.





Around 40% of the sample reported mild or worse levels of internet addiction - a figure which did not differ between males and females.

People with greater levels of internet addiction had around 30% more cold and flu symptoms than those with less problematic internet usage.

Previous research has shown that people who spend more time on the internet experience greater sleep deprivation, have worse eating habits and less healthy diets, engage in less exercise, and also tend to smoke and drink alcohol more.

Microsoft is up to unveil yet another interesting gadget in the early days of July. Surface hub which can replace the clumsy projectors in the conference halls which runs on windows 10 is the most expensive gadget.

"The theoretical market may be much bigger than the actual market," said JP Gownder, an analyst at tech research firm Forrester. He said the device likely will not be an instant hit with businesses, but should appeal to companies where collaborative work is important, such as product design or marketing and advertising. 

Surface Hub

An 84-inch screen version will sell for $20,000 (roughly Rs. 12.6 lakhs). A smaller 55-inch version will sell for $7,000 (roughly Rs. 4.4 lakhs).


Integrating video-calling and note-taking onto a touch screen, the Surface Hub traces its roots back to products made by Perceptive Pixel, an Oregon-based company Microsoft bought in 2012. Microsoft unveiled a prototype of the new device in January.
