• Grocery shoppers buy more food when the music is slower
  Our environment influences us far more than most people realize - all at an unconscious level. "With fast music playing, the Dallas grocery store did about $12,000 in sales each day.

• Getting people addicted to social media
  Matt Mayberry, who works at a California startup called Dopamine Labs, says it's common knowledge in the industry that Instagram exploits this craving by strategically withholding "likes" from certain users. If the photo-sharing app decides you need to use the service more often, it'll show only a fraction of the likes you've received on a given post at first, hoping you'll be disappointed with your haul and check back again in a minute or two. "They're tying in to your greatest insecurities," Mr. Mayberry said.

• Keyboards are overrated. Cursive is back and it’s making us smarter
  "Brain scans during the two activities [writing vs typing] also show that forming words by hand as opposed to on a keyboard leads to increased brain activity. Scientific studies of children and adults show that wielding a pen when taking notes, rather than typing, is associated with improved long-term information retention, better thought organization, and increased ability to generate ideas."
