Sony

Sony is one of the world’s largest entertainment companies. The founder, Masaru Ibuka founded the company in 1950. Since then they have produced popular inventions like the compact disc (cd), portable televisions, and transistor radios.

            Recently Sony has released new inventions such as plasma televisions, Sony Ericsson mobile phones, and VAIO laptops. The new Sony plasma televisions combine the Internet with a motion sensor backlight, wifi, and a presence sensor.

Sony Ericsson phones are a combination of portable gaming system and android smart phone.

The VAIO has the latest Microsoft system, windows 7. Also it boots up in under 17 seconds and has a long life battery that last for almost 5 hours.

            Some people don’t like Sony products; one of them is a freshman Darryl Harris. Darryl Harris said, “I don’t like Sony Playstation 3s because their graphics are lame compared to a Xbox 360’s graphics.”

Others say Sony makes good products; Freshmen Nasir Madison said, “I dropped my PSP a bunch of times, and it still didn’t break. Also their speakers last for a long time cause my mom still got hers from when I was born.”

Cell Phones In School

There are many types of dangers in the world where students can get hurt or even end up dead. That’s why they should be allowed in school. They should be allowed in school for numerous reasons. Such reasons are because they can be really useful with the right set of rules applied to them.

             Cell phones can be used times of distress or emergency. They can be used in emergencies because students can report incidents when they occur. In 2008, there were 5.8 million and more police reports of traffic crashes in which 37,261 people were killed and 2.3 million injured the United States. Also students can record the incident to show to a teacher or adult. One incident that could of be recorded is when a 25 year old teacher, Mark Allen Hyzer abused a 15 year old boy in Irvington, Maryland. Hyzer touch and said inappropriate things to the boy.   

            Cell phones can be used to do school work/assignments. Students can use phones for tools such as calculators to do math work. Students at the New York Hall of Science used smart phones to test the air around them for carbon dioxide and other substances. They did that by downloading applications on their phones. Also students can their phones for reminders of upcoming assignments due. They can do that by setting events or due dates on their cellular device’s calendars. In Scottsdale, Arizona the students of Chaparral High School use their cell phones to do class work. They use the web to research physics and human anatomy. The vice principal and teachers say now all their students are increasing their grades and knowledge.

 Parents can keep track of their child whereabouts. If schools allowed cell phones, parents will know if their children skip or be late for school. For example there is an application for android phones called Life 360. The app Life 360 allows you to add family members with an account to your family tree. Also it shows you registered criminals that live in areas around you that have been in prison before. Also if the students leave their phones places they can trace who ever steals the object. For example sad parents of a seventeen year old girl named Chelsea King found her missing car by tracing her cell phones which was under the back seat of the vehicle.

 Allowing cellphones in school can really help students and the community.so many incidents that happened in school every year could’ve been prevented. Incidents from teachers abusing students to emergencies could be brought to justice sooner than later. I say this because thousands of incidents happen every year before school, during school or after school to students, which could have been prevented if they were allowed to take their phones to school.

Teaching Kids How To Break Up Nicely

The main idea of the article “Teaching Kids How To Break Up Nicely” is to have a good reaction after a break up. Also if you broke up over Faceboook or any other social network, don’t be all hype or fast to get into another one. The article states that most teenagers change their relationship statuses almost instantly. For example one boy could not wait to get home so he could change his relationship status from “in a relationship” to “single.” The group’s adult facilitators stood there listening to two girls question the boy about why he said that. They also disagreed with the boy’s response and reason for believing that is a good way to believe how a relationship should end.

In that one-day break up meeting teenagers was able to associate with other people to express their feelings and deepest thoughts about past relationships. Also the teens can share their experience with the others so they wont make the same mistake as they did. One girl gave her thoughts on the situation when the boy wanted to hurry home so he can just write about his ex girlfriend in a bad manner.

Personally I think that the meeting is a good way to help mankind fix some of their imperfections. I say this because the people got to get a lot of pain and thoughts off of their mind, so they wont have a high possibility of snapping on so one

My opinion on the biggest news story of 2011

I think the biggest news story of the year of 2011 was the news of hurricane Irene. I think it is the best news of 2011 because Philadelphia usually doesn’t receive that kind of weather. We are far from the equator that is why everyone was surprise to hear that we were going to get hit by hurricane Irene weather conditions.

In mid August there was a slight earthquake in which most people didn’t even feel. But for the people who did they posted messages about it on all the social networks. The main social networks such as Twitter and Facebook became over loaded. Also cellular networks such T-Mobile towers fell from the shock of the quake. Many people were very upset because they couldn’t call to see if their love ones were alright.

A few days after that news a broadcast was aired and everybody’s final summer plans were ruined. The broadcast was about a hurricane called Irene moving up north. Many people was so afraid of the natural deserter was coming to a city so far from the equator.

The government officials of the states that were predicted to be hit by the effects of the hurricane had emergency broadcasts. The broadcast was a discussion about the plans to prepare for the weather. The officials announced that they would be closing the roads in and out of the states for the citizen’s protection.

So many families had to cancel or make a rain check for their vacation. One of those families was mines, our trip had to take place on September 23 because that was the only open spot for the rest of 2011. 

Apple Corporation

The Apple Corporation has many achievements in the past years. I say this because they produced many inventions with top of the line software. The inventions include the iPhone, iPad, and MacBook.

The iPhone has many generations since the first release in 2007. Since then four more models of the iPhone has come out. The newest model of the iPhone is the iPhone 4s, this phone has a unique dual-core A5 chip which gives you a better performance and up to 7 times better graphics. Also it has ios 5, which is an advanced system. This system allows you to do virtually any thing of your needs.

The iPad is a powerful tablet that allows you to surf the web, do research, and take on the go. With the iPad you can purchase a wireless service to access the web. Also you can find any topic for either an assignment for work or a school project. The iPad comes with a cover attached to it to protect your screen from scratches and other damages. Also it can fit in a bag or case so you can carry it with you. The MacBook is a white laptop with a thirteen inch screen. The School District of Philadelphia and other school districts use them for their students in grade 6-12. The students use them for research and assignments in class. Also some schools allow students to take the MacBook home to do work or personal things; one of these schools is High School Of The Future.

The Economy Continued

Currently in the United States of America the economy has recently decreased in the recent years. The economy has decreased because the United States has been printing too much money so it lost a lot of its value. I say this because in the pass you could buy a bag of candy for no more than fifty cent, but now you can only buy ten pieces.

Also 20 dollars was considered a lot of money but now it is seen as a little bit, this was said because kids spend more than 500 dollars a month on food, clothes, and activities. Parents tell their children that they don’t know the value of a dollar and they need to get a job to learn how to support them when they get older in the future.

The economy is in poor condition because the social class of the wealthy has decreased while the class of poor has increased. People lose their jobs every day and most can’t afford to take care of their family, so they become homeless.

Sooner or later the population of the United States will most likely file for bankruptcy. If that happen the human population will die out or break into chaos. If that happens it could start world war III and destroy the human race.

I hope one day soon our president will try to save our great nation of America from this poor condition and worrying. If he/she does we can  work hard to improve the earth and our technology.
