This week in class we talked about the topic of cyberterrorism....for this blog post however i have decided to focus on cyber bullying. cyber bullying is a legit problem in todays society. in the days before cell phones aim and emails bullies were limited to bullying the victim when they saw him/her. that has since changed. during that time the home was somewhat of a sanctuary...when they were there everything would be ok because you couldnt be bothered. now with threatening text messages, emails and aim messages not even the home is safe. its almost like theres never a break from the bullying. just recently one of these stories made national headlines when a young woman hung herself after being cyber bullied...as i said before this is a problem that needs to be fixed ASAP...the commercials help but we need to come up with another way to reach the youth to prevent another young death.

the new generation

last week in class we were introduced to Apples new product...the Ipad. the ipad is being marketed as the next revolutionary tool that will soon take over the world. The genius' at apple always find a way to wow us regular folk.

my opinion however is that the first generation ipad is a little too basic to have the title. for some of the users the ipad will serve as a strict at home device. my aunt kathy bought one and uses it strictly in the living room of her home. it can serve as an all in one device storing their music movies and photos...the ipad also allows you to surf the net....after much consideration i believe that the ipad or a device much like it could find its way into american homes in the very near future.
