Cell Phone Tracking Technology

Police in Washington D.C. have caught a teenager charged with stealing a girls cellphone in the park. She was walking, and the robber ran up and took it out of her hand and ran away. Police were able to catch the thief in another park several days later in another park miles away. Is tracking technology good or bad? Right now, there is a law in place that all cellular phones that leave the factory have to have a tracking chip inside the phone. The phone doesn't even have to be turned on, it is still able to be tracked. I think that this technology is good and bad. On the good side, it helped the police find the girls phone. On the bad side, i don't like the idea of someone knowing where i am every single second of every day.

Class Reflection

I've been finding so many new ways to find information, its making my head spin. Thankfully, diggo helps me quantify that information. Using the skills I learned in my class will help me in college. The internet is huge, too huge. There is so much information out there that you have to sort through it all to find the piece that you need. The internet is like a set of encyclopedias, the size of the empire state building, all on just one subject. It takes enormous amounts of time to find the exact information you need. I think that with the knowledge I walk out of this class with will equip me to deal with that Mount Everest of information.

Video in class

Is technology good? A controversial topic. Is it as good as they say it is? Or is it damaging our brains. I just watched a video in class about it. They said that the internet has the capability of hurting our brains. In South Korea, they have made addiction to computers, games, and the internet as an official addiction. They even have a camp where they deprive the children of technology in order to help cure them of their addiction. The internet has also made a huge impact on our workforce. There is an entire office complex facility established by IBM, only no one shows up to work. The entire building is a very nice office facility, and probably wouldn't be that bad of a place to work, if people showed up to work. They don't have to show up to work because they do all of their business online. Therefore, no one has to show up at the building to work. They can do it anywhere they have internet access. Also, there are hundreds of people who have quit jobs, dropped out of school, and don't do anything but sit and use the internet. Full grown adults, students, adolences and children have all done this. In South Korea there are PC labs where they have row after row of computers for students to use. And some have even died in such computer labs, after playing for fifty hours during gaming marathons. So, technology, specifically the internet, can be extremely useful, or very deadly. It depends on the user, and how responsible they are.
