"Anti-selfie»: how the Poparazzi app opens up a "new era" for social media

  "Anti-selfie»: how the Poparazzi app opens up a "new era" for social media Poparazzi is a new social network that has gained popularity just three days after launching in the US. Paparazzi users try on the role of paparazzi and take photos of their friends. At the same time, you can't crop, edit, caption, or apply filters to the photo — it must be natural. As many analysts say, Poparazzi is a "new era" for social networks. The service is based on the idea of "anti-selfie" - users should imitate the paparazzi and take photos exclusively of other people without the use of filters and photo editors. The app does not allow the user to use the front-facing camera, make captions for the publication, and crop the photo. Also, the number of subscribers is not visible in the service, but there is a number of views. A user's profile consists of two sections: photos taken by the user and photos taken by other users.

  In the UK, passenger planes want to replace airships  And all this for the sake of environmental friendliness The network has information about the plans of the British startup Hybrid Air Vehicles. The company wants to replace passenger planes with airships with a capacity of 100 people. They can be used at least for short-distance flights. It is reported that Hybrid Air Vehicles has set itself such an unusual goal, wanting to reduce carbon emissions into the atmosphere. According to The Guardian, representatives of the startup are sure that the airship is ideal for flights from city to city within one country. Also, this type of transport may be appropriate when traveling between neighboring countries. The speed of flights will not suffer much. So, if by plane the journey from Liverpool to Belfast across the Irish Sea takes about 4.5 hours (taking into account the check-in time), then in the case of an airship, the same distance will be covered in 5 hours and 20 minutes.
