This is part of our Road Trip 2016 summer series "Life, Disrupted," about how technology is helping with the global refugee crisis -- if at all.

ادامه مطلب Next year is finally now for Cleveland Cavaliers fans.Long-suffering Ohio basketball fans rejoiced Sunday as their team defeated the defending NBA champion Golden State Warriors 93-89. And they did so in a way they couldn't when the franchise was founded 52 years ago: social media. In a blizzard of tweets, diehards, like Patrick Ward, celebrated the nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat Game 7 thriller.

"Our fans deserve it. They deserve it. I came back to our city to bring a championship." The Cavs' improbable feat brought Cle...

ادامه مطلب [embedded content] It's never too late to lea an important lesson: don't start something you can't finish. A two-year-old parakeet named Kiwi lea ed it the hard way when he taught himself how to imitate the sound of his owner saying "Hey Siri," and check it out - it actually works! Siri registers the prompt and responds with an encouraging phrase of her own: "I'm listening." Sadly, the conversation goes downhill from there. The bashful budgie appears to be at a loss for words and can't think of what to say next, and the silence gets more and more awkward as seconds pass in silence. Kiwi's problem is that he reverses the order of his voice commands. If you listen closely, you can hear him introduce himself to Siri at the start of the video befo...
