As a society, we are about to dive headfirst into the next generation of cellular data technology with 5G. This new tech will have speeds you only thought possible with a robust wired connection, and it’ll deliver wherever you are. Imagine being able to download an entire 4K movie in less than 30 seconds. But, as with any new tech, there are those standing on their soapboxes spouting about the perilous dangers of 5G. Are they right to be scared?

Do you remember back in the day when your cell phone battery would last more than a day, maybe even a week without a charge? Well those days are gone and now we have to have our phones plugged in for the better part of the evening every day. But technology may be coming up with a solution. Wireless charging is on the rise and the way the tech works is astounding.

One of our favorite movies of all time is “The Nightmare Before Christmas.” This holiday classic is not only an amazing story, but the animation is breathtaking — especially when you take into account the entire thing is stop motion. That means it's filmed by moving small figures just a skosh and taking photo after photo to make the overall collection look like movement. This impressive art form has an intriguing history. Who knew it all began with bugs?

You lose track of an old friend, or you just get nosy and want to find an ex on social media. What do you do? A basic Google search might not be enough, especially if your target has a common name. In this Komando DIY, we'll share pro tips to find just about anyone online. We'll start with the biggest social media network: Facebook.

Have you ever tried to sign up for a service or app and there’s a button that says, “Log in with your Facebook account?” It's certainly convenient to sign up for a service using an existing Facebook or Google account. Doing this auto-fills your information, adds your profile picture and sets you up with a single tap. But what does it mean for your security? Kim explores the safest way to sign in.

Think about the tech you use on a daily basis, like your smartphone. You know it inside and out. The same goes for your favorite streaming service, your computer and your smart speaker of choice.

From easily expanding your Wi-Fi coverage to setting up a smart home routine, Kim has 10 digital life hacks you’ll wish you knew sooner.
