The Return of the Flip Phone. Plus, Some Cyber Security Tips...

  Bendable, foldable screens have been around for a little while now, and the technology has improved to the point where we are starting to see them put to good use. The best application I have seen is in the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip -  https://www.cnet.com/news/samsung-galaxy-z-flip-review-3-months-later-even-im-surprised-by-how-much-i-still-love-this-phone/ . I love the idea of having a foldable smartphone similar to the old flip phones from pre-iPhone days, and you can buy this phone now, for quite a hefty price, if you need to live right on the edge of technology, but I think I'll wait until the technology is perfected...Or when Apple gets around to designing their version.. Microsoft takes a different approach to foldable phones with their brand new Surface Duo. It's too big for my tastes but still a beautiful device.  https://www.theverge.com/2020/8/12/21364633/microsoft-surface-duo-release-date-pricing-features-specs --------------------------------    Excel...
