Before each live presentation, I rehearse an additional 4 to 6 times. Back in the days of in-person, when a projector bulb blew, I didn’t worry because the whole thing was in my head. Some people believe that first-timers’ spontaneity gives their presentations energy.

Text messaging enjoyed a cultural heyday back in the early 2000s when nimble-fingered teens used their Nokias to shoot quick messages to each other. These days, there’s a greater focus on digital communication apps, such as WhatsApp and iOS Messages. But if you think that SMS texting has gone the way of cargo pants and ‘N Sync, you’d be wrong. In the past decade, the number of text messages sent has increased by a whopping 7,700%.
