teens and phones

Today I have chosen to make my blog about the dangers of driving and using your cellular device. Everyone knows that driving can be fun and it can also kill people if done incorrectly. Teens have a hard enough time focusing on the road as it is, and with cell phones teens can talk to there friends while they are driving. As you can see in this clearly un-staged photo, the girl is making no eye contact at the road at all. That is because she is using her eyes to text someone that is apparently more important to her than the family of 7 in the car next to her going to grandma's.( and some people might say that they can watch the road with one eye and glace at the phone with the other and unless you have a lazy eye, you can't control just one of your eyes to do something.) I don't know about this girl but many people now seem to not care about the family of 7 next to them on the road. This is a huge problem in children today. I am mostly blaming it on faulty parenting, but kids need to figure out when it is appropriate to text and call people. I think that the government should stop using our phones to listen in on people and start making laws about this. I hope that people think about this blog and stop texting people while driving, because unless your on the phone with Bill Gate's daughter,( in this case you should pull over and talk to her)you can wait until you arrive at your destination.

Business at the speed of thought
By Bill Gates
pg 49- 95
Today on my blog I am going to talk about my book and the big picture it provides. Bill Gates book is a great read for people that have a lot of time and have a long attention span. This is only for small business owners and it would not provide much help for large business owners. This is a passage from the book. " a similar application of information technology enables Mark's and Spencer's to work closely with its more than 300 clothing manufacturers." As you can clearly see the world will benefit from this book when we all gain the courage and attention span to read it. I also want to inform everyone that if you search pictures of Bill Gates daughter, you will find one single picture of a girl in a black shirt and this is clearly not his daughter. So I just wanted to inform ever one of this. I would like to continue to tell you about what a great book this is. If i could somehow find a way to melt it and drink it i would because then I would be smart.

Business @ the speed of thought

I've been reading Bill Gates book and I have to say that it is quite difficult to read. It is a very good book but he wrote it in the past decade. With it being "outdated" it does not provide information that is even slightly relevant to any situation in the real world. In this book Bill talks about using the Internet to better prepare your company for the economic fight to come. This is not my book post but it does have something to do with my topic of cell phones. People now can use cell phones to trade stocks and check emails while the are eating lunch. With all of these capabilities, people can perform business transactions in less time than ever. In his book Bill talks about how if one company could control all of this power while every other company had to do everything in an an old fashioned manner, they would control most of their market. I just wanted to talk about Bill Gates because he is recognized as the father of modern computers. I think that if we all read this book we will better understand how businesses run and how to become successful. This might not have a lot to do with cell phones but I like the idea that people can do things with phones that they could not do 10 or even 5 years ago.

Well since my last post Bill has been giving me a tour of a normal work day for an employee. My name is Sharon. I do not like that name and it is kinda a stalker name. So he takes me through a tour of the work place and he hires me. I then get a run down of my daily duties and jobs and how they are easier with computers to do it all. I have to get business files and instead of walking up and down flights of stairs, I get to email people and get them in a second. It is pretty much a borning day and I did not get fired. As you can tell this book is not for children to read. I think this book should be outlawed for lack of interesting facts in it. It might have been "the bee's knees" 10 years ago, but now it is out dated and borning.

How safe is your phone?

No one can object to the fact that cell phones have become an everyday household item. Almost every person in the work force has one. Most kids aged 12 to 18 have them and with all of these people having phones, how safe is it? We all know that you can take pictures and send text but what if you lost your phone and you had revealing things about yourself on it? That would be bad. The lesson here is don not put pictures and messages on your phone that you do not want everyone to see. But that is not the main reason I chose safety as my topic today. I did it because of new facts that are coming out about the phone and what people can do. Evey one knew that the government was listening to our calls but who knew that they could hear through the mic. while not in use. I believe this is wrong and something should be done against it. I understand that the government wants to protect the county but where can they draw the line? Is the next step cameras in our homes, I hope not. I think that if the government has the power to do all of this they should put it to better use that to spy on its own citizens. I believe we need new laws for stopping governments from taking over our lives. The constitution was made along time ago, and i'm pretty certain they did not have phones and therefore did not worry about it at the time, but with changes in time should come changes in government .
