What is the number 1 addiction?

Hello all,

Have any of you really thought of what is the number one addiction in America? It's not alcohol or drugs. Gambling is actually the number one addiction. It is extremely serious and a very hard addiction to stop. The internet is the most likely the reason for this addiction being so high. It is difficult because it is hard to be safe on the internet. With all of this gambling, people will lose thousands and thousands of dollars in a matter of seconds because the internet happens so fast. Mothers and Fathers put their family in serious debt! We need a way to think of how to stop this nonsense. Please help me find a way to fix this issue. It is affecting many Americans!

2007

Hello all!

Now a days, this generation relies on technology. Where would people in the M-generation do without our cellphones. We use cellphones every second of everyday and I know I personally don't know a time where we didn't have that use. While we are on the internet, we are online or checking out the myspace/facebook/blogging. People would be lost without all of this. Where would we be without the access to all of this technology. No one would function unless they have a cellphone or internet access. This is the whole new world of communication is the year 2007 and research shows that in 3 years all of this technology will be outdated. Something to think about...

Thank you for reading!

Elluminate is the newest technology for computers!

Hello everyone,

The newest technology out there is the Elluminate program. It is fascinating because I am able to go online and chat with all of my classmates and my teacher. With a headset or just turning up the speaker on the computer, you are able to hold a classroom discussion with the comfort of being at home. This E-Learning class is awesome and will definitely come in handy for people who are ill and are stuck at home or for people who have some sort of handicap. This program can only benefit people. I am very impressed that there is a way of communicating a holding a regular classroom all over the internet. Technology is awesome! Thanks for reading!

autism

I saw a video on youtube about this woman who is autistic. In the beginning of the short film, all you see is her moving and moaning. I thought there was no ways of communication but then out of nowhere she started talking and it was a little harder to understand what she was saying. She wanted to get her point across that she is just like us but everyone thinks she cannot communicate with the rest of the world. She says that no one takes the time to understand her language and that is just nautral to do that. She was able to use technology to speak with other people. She used the computer and used e-mail and a program where it read outloud everything she was typing. It really makes you realize that even though people are autistic, there are so many ways she can communicate and through technology that is able to happen.
