CELLPHONE MANNERS MATTER TOO!

Cellphones are a great technology. If it wasn't invented we wouldn't be able to call or text people right away. However people with cellphones nowadays carry their cellphone and use it everywhere and anytime they want. They use it in churches, during seminars and lectures, in private meetings and everywhere they aren't suppose to be using. People have learned manners since they were young from Do not talk, when your mouth is full or Do not point at people because it is rude but why don't they ever use these when using their cellphones? Honestly, cellphones were used so you can talk or text conveniently but not when you are at church or at school. People take advantage of their cellphones. People drive and talk with their cellphone when they are driving which is totally dangerous because it can trigger an accident, students text each other during classes and test which is cheating and disrespect to the teacher, and people just call other people during unnecessary times which is RIDICULOUS. I think there are specific times or places when you can use your cellphone. 5 rules that I think that are necessary to follow when using cellphones are: People with headsets shouldn't talk to loud because it can disturb people's train of thoughts and quiet surroundings. People should not talk or text when in places such as church or school unless emergency. People should be aware of the place and the time when using their cell phones. People should turn off or put their phone in vibrate when they are at special places. People in general with cellphones shoudn't talk loud because this can disturb people's personal space and it is not right and people should only use their cellphones when necessary. These rules should be followed to make sure that people have cellphone manners because it does matter to most people. Therefore, I think people should think more about where and when to use their cellphones. Thank you:)

Everything's Amazing and Nobody's Happy

Technologies...what comes to mind when you hear that word? People don't seem to care about technology...I mean technology is very useful without it our life wouldn't be like it is right now.People seem to take advantage of technology, instead of using it for the right reasons, some people tend to use it for the wrong reasons such as killing, stealing, and terrorizing a whole country. In the good old days, people didn't have technology, they hand washed their clothes on the lake, cooked food using fireplaces by rubbing two wood together and making fire, there were NO TV's, computer, radio, MP3's so people used other people as their sort of entertainment. Technology has been around since 1958. Technology not only has helped us in our daily lives from getting to school from our houses via car, buses,trains, etc., talk/chat and webcam with our relatives from around the world and meet new people from around the film, talk to our friend by telephones or more convenient cellphones, wash and dry clothes without human labour, clean the house using a vacuum, cook food using stoves, research information using the Internet, and make homework easy without writing just typing. Technology also has lead to many new interesting inventions and cures for people with illnesses. To me, technology is really important. Technology has kept me alive, entertained and it helped me meet new people from around the world via Facebook and MSN , it also has changed my life because then before I came to Canada, I hand washed my clothes which took quite long, now that I live in Canada I can afford to buy a washing machine and a dryer. I feel that people should not take advantage of technology because people in our next generation would have nothing if we use up all of these resources. Technology is good if we use it for good and bad if only used for bad choices. Without technology, I don't think I would live because I wouldn't want to live my life being bored. Something I totally can't live without is TV because TV is my life; it gives me entertainment, great infromation about life and it makes me aware of my daily environment. For example there are diseases spreading outside such as Airborn, then I wouldn't plan on going outside and catch the risk of dying. Therefore, technology is very important and people should NOT take advantage of this invention for when used for wrong purposes, it might lead to losing it altogether.

The Inauguration of Barack Obama

CHANGE "Yes We can" Tuesday, January 20th, 2009. The Inauguration of Barack Obama. The first African-American president of America. He made history by being the 44th president of the United States of America. This is the day when America and the rest of the world rejoices. The Inauguration of this president means everything from new government, new leaders, and a lot to the rest of the world and Americans. This also means new policies. Things will change in America, Canada and the rest of the world with Barack Obama as the president by his new leadership skills, laws and how he handles things. He is very inspirational because he is the first black president. He gives hope to people because he did something that people never thought would be possible."That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood. Our nation is at war, against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred. Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age. Homes have been lost; jobs shed; businesses shuttered. Our health care is too costly; our schools fail too many; and each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet." In his speech, he explains the crisis happening in America and how he can help CHANGE the problems that needs help and will be met. As i was watching this, I found it very interesting and it made me aware of the situations happening in America. His speech gave hope to the Americans due to the previous president. Americans seemed to be in a state of grief and it seemed as though there was no hope. Barack Obama is currently trying to break the mold and is creating new plans in order to bring the world into a state of order, despite the mass amount of chaos presently in our world.
