• in Classroom
• i found it interesting that....
  • that only 64% of schools have internet acess, Equality of access
  • only 19% of 11th graders uses the computers for work, and 37% of seniors dont use the computer for school work, Equality of access
  • students of th 7th grade 97% cant tell a hoax website from a real one, Privacy and Anomyity.
• i find the problem that 7th grade students cant tell a hoax from a really one really bad so, i think sence the we are living in a growing age of technology we need a small class for 6th graders(because thats when some people start middle school) to tell about internet hoaxes and stuff
• the horible downside of technology is that peoples grades are being lowed because of facebook, this is probully because when they do their work facebook is up and this will cause distractions in it and making work more bad and you dont learn because your mind will be on the person your chating and not on your work.
  • the problem probully orginated from the need to talk and would rather talk then do homework.
  • a sulution would be a very simple one, and that would be to realize that your grade would be better if you sacrafice a few minutes of facebook

• 5 things Andriod phones will never change
• the Andriod OS is open source(which let people modify it and add ther own apps) however the phone allow google apps gmail, google voice, etc.

this causes user problems which some apps dont work well with the phone

• the apps of the Android does not go through an aprovel proccess so they migh be extreamly glitchy
• One of the problems with open_source nature of the Andriod is that the phone will bhave too much useless stuff on it, like if you get a new Dell Computer it will have hundreds of trail thigns on it, this happens with the andriod and they cant stop it because there are no restrictions.
• They dontprovide updates, or they dont care of providing updates so there is too many versions of Andriod devices
• the phone has many patent issures which might haunt them with many law suits.
• If this countinues the Andriod phone might loose tons of sales and cause the google stock market to crash
• If the andriod phone stops working this will make people loose faith in google and cause a google to crash
• this affects Business and Employment, and lesiure

I think that even though there are alot of issues this will not affect the andriod sale market that much

• Twitter surpasses Myspace
• if Myspace countines to go down it might go to the point where barely no one is using it,
• the coumpanies that advertise off Myspace will go to other coumpanies based off popularity. If Myspace closes down myspace users already using it to will have to switch making other social networks more populer.
• this willl affect machine and people because if myspace gets closed down people ill have to use othe social networks to use. And Technically this can happen to Facebook, and Twitter if a better network comes up.
• Business and Employment will be affected because anyone who paid myspace or used myspace as a sorce of income will either loose there jobs find a diferent consumer.
• I thik this issue tells how great things cant last forever, I remember that a few years ago Myspace was the thing to get, the most populer, then out of no where a new facebook comes out and BAM myspace starts going down. The only way this will affect me is that too many people were to join facebook and facebook caused the users to pay some money to join it. I would think Facebook would loose lots of people and thats the reaen why facebook hasnt started to make people pay to join.

• this will affect citizens of china, the apple coumpanie's sale, China unicorn
• this will raise the apples populariety
• this affects my family bc my family is gonna be buying these i phones.
• Iphone sales in china fails
• the iphone was sold in china last year except the sales in chian did not go so well, apple did not want to change one thing for the iphone nad made people in china pay more to use it. so selling it in china might be risky bc no one might want to buuy it sence last year

• Yahooceo says apple iAd
• Yahoo CEO saays that the apple's new Iad willl fall apart the goal of apple Iad was to make a more engaging ads

so far only a few advertisers have been choosen to make ads for it but Channel said that it will fail becaue apple wanted to too much control ocer the creativness of the ad.

• this affects yahoo in a business way because yahoo is prepareing its future for mobile centric future, they already spent alot of money for this, right now yahoo is making every new product a mobile thought in there minds.

• The control of the ads gone, and the interlectual property of the design will be gone. Apple made new polices and standards for ads.
