  1. I haven't been keeping up so maybe this has been addressed, but I started getting really bummed out reading this article. Why? Well, today I was talking to a student with some personal issues about how she can "do school" around her situation. Internet access at home would be great, and she has it, but it is dial-up. Another student had a baby on Thanksgiving. Her boyfriend and 4 siblings go to my school, but I still have not seen pictures of the baby. I brought it up today only to find out that among the dozen or so people living in their house, no one has a digital camera or cell phone camera, and they cannot afford to get their film developed. These things aren't obsolete, just abandoned by everyone who has the means.

  3. It kind of makes me sad to see technogly taking over from the basic stuff. God be with the days where you would go to a shop to look for a certain somthing that may only pocess, now its all done on ebay, and most supermarkets are going internet based now, so you who wont have to walk any where which is really bad for our health. Your health is wealth, remember that.
