In the library technical sense, a "magazine" paginates with each issue starting at page three. Likewise, a "journal" has continuous pagination throughout a volume. Thus Business Week, which starts each issue anew with page one, is a magazine, but the Journal of Business Communication, is a journal.

TECH STRESS

TECHNOLOGY IS A COMBINATION OF TECHNO, FROM THE GREEK TEKHNO, MEANING SKILL, AND THE SUFFIX -OLOGY, Evolution shapes behavior–and as a species, we’ve evolved to be drawn to the instant gratification, constant connectivity, and the shiny lights, beeps, and chimes of our everpresent devices. In earlier eras, these hardwired evolutionary patterns may have set us up for success, but today they confuse our instincts, leaving us vulnerable and stressed out from fractured attention, missed sleep, skipped meals, aches, pains, and exhaustion.

There is evidence that we are becoming over dependent, or even possibly addicted, to our phones. Think about how you feel when you realise you have forgotten your phone, or left it behind somewhere. It can be uncomfortable, can’t it? In fact, recent research has shown that some people experience significant stress and anxiety when they are separated from their phones and can even exhibit withdrawal like symptoms, comparable to those usually seen when someone has an addiction. Some research has even shown that high levels of engagement with smartphones and multimedia technology may be physically changing our brain structure and function.

A news article discusses current or recent news of either general

interest (i.e. daily newspapers) or of a specific topic (i.e. political or trade news magazines, club

newsletters, or technology news websites).

A news article can include

accounts of eyewitnesses to the happening event. It can contain

photographs, accounts, statistics, graphs, recollections, interviews, polls, debates on the topic, etc.

Headlines can be used to focus the reader’s attention on a

particular (or main) part of the

article. The writer can also give
