Tecnology Progression

I read an article from the New York Times called "Google Enters the Wireless World" by Miguel Heft and John Markoff. It was about Google planning on helping to make more cell phones that can go online whenever. They want to be able to be used on the cell phone. This all started with the IPhone. The former policy chief of the Federal Communication Commission, Robert Pepper, said “We’re human beings and we communicate, and that’s what the Internet social network phenomenon is all about.” This presents that we wish to communicate faster, easier and whenever.

I read this because the technology today is always changing. A blog from the Fischbowl called Did You Know talked about this along with other interesting facts. Technology is changing their is no denying that but is the new technology reliable. Technology has its limitations there is only so much we can do to improve it. Computers today can be hacked into no matter what type of security. If someone wants to do something and they put their mind to it then they will most likely be able to do it. Life will always find a way to do what it wants. Technology is not alive so it lacks certain knowledge that we take advantage of today. It does not have feelings or feel pain. All together it lacks the ability to think. We use our thoughts in which ever way we want. We use it to do homework. We use it to talk with others. We use it to fulfil a dream. We use it 24/7. We take advantage of that and computers will never be able to do that no matter how much it progresses.

Are we safe in the world today?

I read an article in the Denver Post called "Teen slain on Halloween out buying Groceries" by Kirk Mitchell and Kieran Nicholson. It was about a boy who was going to buy groceries for his family when he was killed. The police said it was around 9:45 p.m. His father said " HE had a good heart." He was shot by a someone in a dark colored truck eye-witnesses say.

I related to this article because it shows how unsafe we are in the streets at night or even in the day. We can be hurt easily because not many people watch out for one another. Most people keep to themselves when they don't know people very well. When someone is getting hurt people fear for their own lives even if they could help the one being hurt. We all have to learn to help people even if it means getting hurt ourselves. Many people are out on Halloween night so it is probably the most difficult day to let children go out by themselves because of the many people looking to hurt them. Are we ever safe on the streets? Are we as safe in the world today as we were along time ago?
