#TechTalk - Trump vs Social Media and New Uses For Your Old Smartphone

Today President Trump signed an Executive Order aimed at going after social media companies and other online platforms. Trump wants to be able to hold companies such as Facebook and Twitter accountable if they're deemed to be unfairly blocking users' free speech.

The order will most likely be challenged, so it will be interesting to see how this fight will play out.

In some lighter tech news, we've got some cool ideas on how you can re-purpose your old smartphone or tablet. A lot people have tech laying around doing nothing, might as well get some more use out of it! Our friend and tech expert Marc Saltzman pointed us to a column from his USA Today colleague Kim Komando. She's got some great ideas!

  1. Make it a car dashcam
  2. Make it a reader
  3. Turn it into a security cam
  4. Use it to stay connected
  5. See your favorite memories
  6. Control your TV
  7. Organize and play your music
  8. Make it your kitchen companion
  9. Give it to the kids
  10. Use it as a second monitor
