The symptoms of tech neck begin with a minor stiffness or pain in our neck, tension in our shoulders, and a general aches in our upper bodies.
Please call me UB, if you want to be good friends. It is said that there are multiple levels of friendship. No, I am not talking about those on social networks like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, nor does this include so-called frenemies.

Is the dog a human's best friend? Well, if the animal's popularity is anything to go by, perhaps that's true. The affection for dogs f is and has been the real deal for some time. How we used to think about dogs can be judged by looking at how they have been portrayed in language over the centuries.
