"Chris" Ashton Kutcher, best known as Kelso from "That '70's show" and the unlikeliest person one would think to provide refreshing wisdom in an inspiring speech at the Teen Choice Awards, told kids (and whoever else was listening) the three keys to life. Well worth the watch.
According to the Toronto Sun, eMarketer has claimed that digital media is about to pass TV viewing this year, marking the first time ever that this has happened.
This makes sense considering the number of people with smartphones checking their Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIN accounts daily.
