Hey, it's Kim Commando today, your daily podcast to keep you up to date with all things digital

and beyond. And I'd love to have you be a part of our podcast. You can make an appointment to speak with me.

Just head over to commando.com. And on the top right, there's a button that says email Kim, fill that out,

and that's it. I always like to start with something interesting and i read a research

report the other day and even though most of us are heading back into the office a group in the

uk put 36 folks split evenly between men and women showcasing either their best grin or a poker

face now those faces were then digitally placed onto six different settings. It was a cozy living

room, the same room but blurred, a bookcase behind them, or maybe they had plants, just a plain

wall. And then for some fun, they put a walrus in ice. So what they wanted to see is whether or not

which background would be great for a Zoom call. And then would people find

them more trustworthy on, say, a bookcase or plants or maybe even the Walrus? So what they found

is that if you're framed by books or plants, you are really trustworthy. And if you're wondering

whether to smile or stay serious on that Zoom call, you're definitely going to want to go with

that grin because, again, you are definitely going to want to go with that grin,

because again, you are just more trustworthy, which reminds me, why can't you ever trust in Adam?

You ready for this? Because they make up everything. Oh, that was a great one. Hey, listen,

I'm Kim Commando, your digital goddess here with you once again, and you're about ready to get more

tech smarts because every single thing is now a tech thing.
