Not so long ago, nobody met a partner online. Then, in the 1990s, came the first dating websites.

Match.com went live in 1995. A new wave of dating websites, such as OkCupid, emerged in the early 2000s. And the 2012 arrival of Tinder changed dating even further. Today, more than one-third of marriages start online.

Clearly, these sites have had a huge impact on dating behavior. But evidence is emerging that their effect is much more profound.

Those tiny little pieces of plastic get into our bodies and circulate everywhere, which affects our health in many ways. 

They can impact our immune system, our digestive system, our endocrine system, and more…

Why do we have microplastics in our bodies?

You probably already know this… our oceans are full of plastic! 

By the year 2050, the World Economic Forum thinks that our oceans will contain more plastic than fish… that’s pretty sad!

The plastic disintegrates and the fish eat the microplastics… and we eat the fish!

But microplastics don’t only come from the fish we eat, we also get them from the water we drink and the air we breathe…

A recent study by the Environment Agency Austria estimated that more than half of the world population may have microplastics in their stools.

The oldest millennials enter middle age this year.

The generation is now aged between 25 and 40, according to the Pew Research Center’s definition.

Yes, like everyone, millennials are aging, but it’s a hard concept to grasp when the media narrative has painted millennials as young, frivolous 20-somethings who love selfies and can’t afford anything because they spend too much money on avocado toast.

It’s an inaccurate picture of the generation, which has been shaped by technological advancements and a broken economy. But the typical 40-year-old millennial especially doesn’t quite align with this image. Many feel they embody some characteristics of both Gen X and millennials, having experience with both analog and digital worlds.

As a member of the secretive Senate Intelligence Committee, Sen. Angus King has reason to worry about hackers. At a briefing by security staff this year, he said he got some advice on how to help keep his cellphone secure.

Step One: Turn off phone.

Step Two: Turn it back on.

That’s it. At a time of widespread digital insecurity, it turns out that the oldest and simplest computer fix there is — turning a device off then back on again — can thwart hackers from stealing information from smartphones.

Regularly rebooting phones won’t stop the army of cybercriminals or spy-for-hire firms that have sowed chaos and doubt about the ability to keep any information safe and private in our digital lives. But it can make even the most sophisticated hackers work harder to maintain access and steal data from a phone.

“This is all about imposing cost on these malicious actors,” said Neal Ziring, technical director of the National Security Agency’s cybersecurity directorate.
