When Joshua Blue, a vice-principal at the Kennedy School in Hong Kong, hosts a student assembly, he wears a violet-colored pastel tie to give him an edge.

He avoids brighter purples and pinks when standing in front of students.

Buzzword:

"Over-connectedness" refers to the state or condition of having an overabundance of existing or potential online connections to people and online resources. People often feel anxious about their over-connectedness, which may soon be exacerbated as telecommunication combines with the "Evernet" - the technology that allows people to get online from their watches, cars, toasters or pens - so that everyone will be able to be connected all the time, everywhere.
