Think With Google, Netflix ad plan, phones to get thinner with virtual SIMs

Long before the internet was an entertainment platform, it was almost entirely built around information and learning.

 

It can still be an extremely powerful educational tool - like an entire reference library wherever you want it.

 

‘Think With Google’ is a series of articles focussed on technology, marketing and leadership, designed to provide some thought provoking substance to your daily reading habits.

 

And now, you can have those articles read out loud to you, with Google’s new audio narration feature.

Early next year looks like the launch for Netflix’s cheaper, advertiser supported subscription plan.

 

The streaming giant is looking for a new strategy to deal with cancellations and to keep its numbers up - the cheaper plan is likely to be built around Netflix original content and won’t have so much of the shows and films made by big studios.

 

 

Finally a report in the Wall Street Journal hints at mobile phones getting even thinner with virtual sim cards.

 

I think this is great news because there’s nothing more annoying than trying to remove the SIM from a phone -the report says it would also make it simpler to have 2 numbers running from the same handset.
