Everything Everywhere Daily - The Luddites
At some point, you might have been called, or might have called someone else a Luddite, due to a refusal to adopt a new technology.

Everything Everywhere Daily - All About Dog Breeds
When looking at your neighbor's dachshund and your great dane, it is hard to believe that these dogs trace back to the same ancestors. Yet, this is true!
Through centuries of domestication and selective breeding, humans have transformed dogs into the most diverse mammal species known today.
