Children’s reading levels are plummeting. Is tech to blame?

In the history of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), eighth-grade reading scores have never been this low.

According to new data, 33% of eighth graders in the United States have “below basic” reading levels. That’s even below the sub-proficient level, “basic,” at which 37% of eighth graders score. The NAEP has been administering their reading assessment since 1992

Business leaders are often reluctant to speak about their competition. It’s rare that you’ll hear Netflix’s Ted Sarandos talk about Disney+, or Skims’s Jens Grede speak about Spanx. It’s uncouth and unhelpful, a good PR will tell you.

Trump’s tariffs could derail online shopping in the U.S.

A lot has changed since Donald Trump’s first term in the White House. E-commerce’s share of total retail sales has risen from 15% at the end of 2020 to 16.2%—a 1.2 percentage point increase, but a near-10% rise in real terms. The number of packages entering the United States that come under the $800 de minimis threshold that allows imports to enter the country without charge has gone from around 600,000 in 2020 to more than one

Trump signs order to create a sovereign wealth fund that could buy TikTok

U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday ordering the creation of a sovereign wealth fund within the next year, saying it could potentially buy the short video app TikTok.

Trump offered little in the way of detail and it was unclear how such a wealth fund would work. Typically such funds rely on a country’s budget surplus to make inves

Will a return to OG Facebook appeal to Gen Z?

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg hinted at a “return to OG Facebook” during last week’s Q4 earnings call, listing it as a key goal for 2025. But what exactly does that mean?
