Image: When humans write, they leave subtle signatures that hint at the prose’s fleshy, brainy origins. Their word and phrase choices are more varied than those selected by machines that write. Human writers also draw from short- and long-term memories that recall a range of lived experiences and inform personal writing styles. And unlike machines, people are susceptible to inserting minor typos, such as a misplaced comma or a misspelled word.

Simplifying your collaboration platform is best done by adopting one that is also a cloud-based platform, specifically, cloud calling.

Promising a big new tax that would, in a few years’ time, come to affect over half of all younger adults seems unlikely to go down all that well on the doorstep as the next election approaches.
