This week we consider how investing in your technical skills brings career benefits for general marketers and the value of practical idealism at the office and at home. We also dive into LinkedIn's matched audiences, our take on Amazon's Echo Look (a voice-controlled camera for fashion tips), how "Ready Player One" reflects real life, and the latest on the Net Neutrality debate.
