    What do you think about using the internet for exams?  How would exams change if we allowed students to have access to the internet?

      Adult texting is on the rise but doesn't compare to teen use. It would be very interesting to find out why Blacks and Hispanics use their cell more than White teens.

      This would be an interesting project and not too difficult to find more info.  The PEW research site is invaluable for information about internet and cell use.
  • African American and Hispanic cell phone users are more intense and frequent users of all of the phone's capabilities than whites. Minorities send more text messages and make more calls on average than their white counterparts.

  • The average adult cell phone owner makes and receives around five voice calls a day. Women tend to make slightly fewer calls with their cell phones than men -- while 53% of women make and receive five calls or fewer per day, 43% of men say the same. Men are a bit more likely to make slightly more phone calls in a day; 26% of men send and receive six to 10 calls a day, while 20% of women exchange that many calls. Men and women are equally likely to be represented at the extreme high end of callers, with 8% of men and 6% of women making and taking more than 30 calls a day.

America's Disease is Greed - 0 views

  • Greed has produced rash tax cuts that have given money to the rich and in effect taken it away from the poor. Greed has led to the immigration policy in which hundreds of poor men and women die every year as they struggle across the desert for the jobs that el norte promises them. Greed accounts for the efforts to take profitability out of the pensions and health insurance of working men and women. Greed is responsible for the fact that so many Americans have no health insurance and the fact that the recent reform of Medicare was a fraud. Greed causes newspapers to overestimate their circulation.

      You need to find out about these people. "CommonDreams.org is an Internet-based progressive news and grassroots activism organization, founded in 1997. We are a nonprofit, progressive, independent and nonpartisan organization." at the bottom of the page. Do some hunting.

    This passage is very important to understanding why exactly I want to conduct this experiment. It becomes very clear that greed has had some considerably negative effects on society. I have noticed that the majority of greedy acts generally involve money. All these facts show us that greed has done nothing but interfere with society and the way people treat one another. It shows us that greed is in fact a serious problem; it is important to look at this problem and analyze it because we want to know the truth about ourselves, no matter how ugly that truth may be.
