BODY:
With more of us filtering out the adverts when we're online we ask Peter Griffin how adblockers work, who's using them and how content publishers, from online newpapers to mobile apps, are responding to this threat to their business model.
EXTENDED BODY:
An estimated 200 million people worldwide are using adblocking software to filter out annoying ads and pop-up videos.
Adblocking is posing a serious economic threat to online publishers (including the media) and is meant to be costing the global online advertising market more than US$20 billion a year!
No surprise that many publishers are responding, politely asking or even demanding that you switch off adblocking if you want to visit their site and access their content for free.
This Way Up's technology correspondent Peter Griffin looks at how adblocking works and how online publishers are responding:

EXTENDED BODY:
How do you rest and relax?
The Rest Test is a global crowdsourced experiment that hopes to explore people's attitudes and opinions about rest.
Claudia Hammond of the BBC's All in the Mind programme tells Simon Morton that our notions of what is 'restful' are personal and varied:
So far some 21,000 people from 190 different countries have responded to the survey and it's producing some interesting preliminary findings. So about three-quarters of respondents say they need more rest, on average they sleep for between 6 and 7 hours a day, and the least restful activity so far identified is, interestingly, 'thinking about the past'!
You have until midday on Wednesday 30 March 2016 to participate in The Rest Test.
