Apple under fire from Chinese environmental groups - Boston.com - 2 views

  • Chinese environmental groups have been critical of Apple in the past, but the latest report underscores their growing outspokenness in a society where dissent is routinely suppressed by the authorities. Though dubbed environmentalists, their activism extends into other areas including worker rights.
  • Low wages have drawn thousands of foreign companies to China, with many contracting production to Chinese companies or the local units of other foreign companies to boost profits. But activists say that makes it more of a challenge to track problems like dangerous working conditions and hold the company that contracted out the production liable.
  • Apple has been trailed by bad publicity after several workers for one of its suppliers, contractor Foxconn Technology Group which makes iPhones and other gadgets, killed themselves in southern China last year
    • Christina Chan
       
      Whoa that is extremely awful. Bad publicity can really damage a person and that they would go to great lengths to actually killing themselves. I wonder how the rest of the workers would have reacted.

      I agree that Chinese environmental groups have the right to express their anger by firing Apple. Apple was blinded to see the extremely dangerous conditions that are at risk. A question that came up while I read this why why wasn't Apple aware of this. Were they blinded by everything that was going on?

      I can connect this to Feed because the "dangerous working conditions" remind me of how people like the police can hack into Titus, Violet's & his friend's feeds and how their unable to use them temporarily.

      The feed was a new way life, and so is the internet, and since it was introduce to many of us early in our childhood we have become very dependent on it.
  • According to the Pew Internet & American Life Project, fewer than one in seven Americans were online in 1995.
    • Lany Miller
       
      A few people just used the feed int he book, and when the internet was beginning to become huge, only a few people (less than seven) were using it. Now, everyone has a feed,and everyone uses the internet.

Cell Phones for Kids - Pros and Cons - 0 views

  • safety for kids since a cell phone can be used to determine the whereabouts of kids and the kids can also call the parents in case of emergency when they need help.
    • kaylyn kilmain
       
      a good pro for having a cell phone at a young age is to make sure were ever they are, they are safe.
    • Lany Miller
       
      I agree!! But what could be a con?
  • Nowadays with the increasing number of threats at schools, it is obvious for parents to be worried about their child’s safety
  • s for the cons of cell phones, there are many. First and foremost, the parents have to be really sure whether their child is capable of handling the responsibility of carrying a mobile phone. Having a cell phone might lead the child to all the probable ways in which the cell phone can be misused. It is one thing to make the children comfortable with technology but giving them their very own mobile phone at an early age might turn them into mobile junkies who are addicted to their mobile phones with constant short messaging, cell phone games and other add-ons. Also think of it from the health point of view. In a world where we hear reports about excessive use of mobile phones being harmful for the health, how could we possibly allow the children to be exposed to these threats?
    • Elizabeth Hughes
       
      I can see why parents would be hesititant to get their kids a cell phone, but i think it is useful for kids to get one because if they were every need a situation when they needed to get in contact with their parents they will have it.
    • natasha badohu
       
      I feel that most kids who do have a cellphone still barely keep in contact with there parents, or ignore texts/calls from them. I actually know teenagers that do this exactly, which totally defeats the purpose of there parents buying them the cell phone i the first place.

  • wever even if the cell phones are provided with the safety interests in mind, the kids will soon start demanding the higher range and fancy cell phones that would be next in line. Providing expensive mobile phone to kids would actually attract muggers and threaten your child’s security instead of safeguarding it
    • Elizabeth Hughes
       
      again this shows how kids should have cell phone to make sure that their protected in situation. This will help them be safe in all situations.

    cell phones are now not only for adults to use but now are being used for little kids. people today have become addicted to technology.

    This is funny because of how crazy the technology has become now. But ironic in the way that it relates to how you can track other peoples feeds, this is much like that for a parent to be tracking their child's location.
  •  
    cellular divices have become a nescesity to everyday life ESPECAILY for adolecence's. [my spelling in general may probly be way off...] but it gets to the point of a "need" rather than a "want" to the point where a teen can hardly go an hour let alone 5 minutes without sending a text message.
  •  
    Cell phone is a great technology, just like the feed, a new way to communicate with other people, in feed, people can connect to each other, similar to the cell phone
  •  
    this is a good example of how everyone is dependent on cell phones especially now that they are giving them out to younger kids
  •  
    i do agree with this, this is so a good reason why kids should have cell phones for a good reason.

Europe Insight - BusinessWeek - 0 views

  • Another key finding: 40 percent of respondents say that "immediate access" to chosen content is very important to them, suggesting a shift from owning videos to accessing programming on demand. Most importantly, Ericsson says that service providers must devise ways to align consumer spending and usage. Thanks to the "everything should be free" Internet mindset and a growing shift to TV consumption on PCs, traditional service providers risk seeing the value of their offerings diminished. Yet, "if done right," Ericsson argues, "consumers will reallocate their TV spending to new alternatives."
    • Billy Mahoney
       
      This article relates to the Feed because having instant access to online programming on the computer is like having the access that Titus has in the Feed. People rely on having instant access to things now on the computer that they are basically becoming attached to that kind of technology. For instance the feed is basically a computer thats activated inside everyone's brain, and everyone relies on it as well.

Is Internet Access a Human Right? - 2 views

  • content in the knowledge that the uproar from a few tens of thousands of Western internet users doesn't accurately reflect the desires and concerns of millions of people around the world who are online
    • Dan Tusler
       
      This exceprt shows that this "Internet Culture" that is created with this mass communication system has many different aspects. It comments on the internet activism, which basically is commentary on somebody or some countries own issues. It expains that because of this instantainiouse information and communication, can still not acuratly reflect how everything is.

    This article is about weather the internet could be considered a human right. This raises questions about the importance of internet and the ease of communication it provides. Is it a fundamental right of human beings to communicate with other beings?

Sunday's Super Bowl the most high-tech ever - CNN.com - 0 views

  • The stadium's most visible piece of tech is what's billed as the world's largest high-definition video screen: a $40 million, 600-ton video board with 25,000 square feet of displays. It's 72 feet tall and 160 feet long. (Everyone seems to like the high-tech board, with the possible exception of NFL punters.) And, consider this as you nestle into your man cave. In addition to the monster screen, there are another 3,500 46-inch high-def screens scattered throughout the rest of the stadium.

      this just shows how much technology we put into somthing as simple as sports do we really need all thoes tv screens whats the point
  •  
    this talks about the super bowl and the technology in the stadium and how much it basicly cost
  •  
    Interesting article, Gabe. It seems to me that technology will never stop getting bigger and better; with all the inventors in the world at the same time, technology has proven to be quite a competition.

iCrazy: Is Technology Taking Over? - DivineCaroline - 0 views

  • I think our obsession with rather expensive convenience gadgets is bordering on ridiculous.
    • Lany Miller
       
      Everyone's obsession with technology is going crazy, every year some new technology is coming out and it's supposedly better than the device before. In feed they got so advanced that they implanted a feed in everyone's brain and it tells the person whenever some new trend is hot. In the book and in reality people are becoming too obsessed with technology.
  • Obviously modern day iPods and their accompanying devices aren’t taking over our sprawling civilizations
    • Lany Miller
       
      The new technology isn't taking over exactly, or yet, but it has the capability to do so. Technology is good for us, but sometimes it can get a little too hectic.

Young People Cop to It: Technology Is Bad for Us - ABC News - 2 views

shared by Ryan Clarke on 16 Feb 11 - No Cached
  • Time-waster: "Technology is the key to procrastination," said Kenny Kobetsky, 14. Eighty percent of the class said they had missed sleep because of playing on the Internet, 50 percent said they had forgotten to do homework for the same reason. "The Internet is just so tantalizing," said Nick Gregov, 14. "I actually think McDonald's is healthier than my computer," added Blake Billiet, 13. Though the students did admit that the Web and cell phone can save time that used to be burned up driving to the store or library, few felt that these gains exceeded the many hours wasted on text or Web surfing.
    • Ryan Clarke
       
      This represents the negative side of technology and it is affecting all ages from various important tasks
  •  
    technology is just easier to access and has more entertainment on it that doesn't mean it is by itself bad for us because kids will always pick something more fun than homework because homework is boring. if you had the chocie between having a party or hanging out with friends and playing a game outside or doing homework i wouldn't pick the homework.

Why is technology bad? | Why - 0 views

  • I felt, that a common man has reached to a state that he is not able to live without electricity as every office is involved with the work related to electricity. Everyone almost will tend to suffer if there is no electricity.
    • john peacen
       
      true the humans are in the state that can't live without the electricity, because are highly dependent of technology that use electricity. the computer don't work if is not charge and the mans that work in office they will not work because they do not know how to work differently without computer.
  • I would like to say that we should also learn to live and make ourselves capable enough to live in the absence of technology. Always depending on something or someone will reduce our own skills and talents.
    • john peacen
       
      this relate to the book because everything is technology they can't do thing. but is more terrible because they have this program in the brain.
  •  
    the articulo describe how the people are very depend of electricity. this bring. how the human are depend technology lost the ability to survive by itself.
