Blogging Around: Jason Lee and J.T. Kim

Jason Lee:

I liked how you used the dialectic between immigrants preventing Americans from getting jobs or are immigrants the ones that keep our economy flowing. Furthermore, I liked how you asked follow up questions. I think that they were very helpful and thought provoking. All in all, I felt like your blog was very informative and I was able to see the immigrant issue thru another perspective.

J.T. Kim:

I really agree with what you had to say about the whole car point of view.I liked how you went so in depth with the whole idea that cars have evolved from primarily transportation utilities to more comfortable,more personal objects. I also liked how you compared life with no cars. I totally agree that life would be a lot more complicated and normal,everyday tasks like going to the supermarket would be a lot more time consuming.

360 Degree Thinking: Cellphones

It was sunday night around 10P.M. and i was in a bit of a pickle. I knew I had to complete some homework for some classes but I just could not remember from which classes and what the actual assignment was. Needless to say I was in "desperation mode." I realized that my only option was this small rectangular like object called a cellphone. I sent out some texts to various friends who are in some of my classes and within minutes I knew what the homework was. I finished my homework and just then, I realized what big of a blow I had dodged. I realized that without my cellphone I would have been left to contemplate what my homework was and needless to say that would have been helpless. I noticed that my cellphone really saved me in my perdicament, and i started to think more deeply on how life would be like without a cellphone. What would I have done if I had no cellphone? What would other people do? I came to the conclusion that a cellphone is more than an object used to keep in touch with friends and family. No. It can be way, way more than that. Cellphones can be used to aid others and to keep you company, while on the other hand cellphones in more drastic situations cellphones can be used as lifesavers. I realized that a lot of us take our cellphones for granted since we are really fortunate but that little dilemma that I was stuck with forced me to think about the "what if's" in my situation. Aside from that, cellphones can also be used for business. It amazing how many buisnessman and woman own Blackberry's now-a-days. Thye make business a lot more practical and a lot more efficient. In general, cellphones have completely revolutionzed the world that we live in and I think that in the future cellphones will be used for more tasks and functions and who knows what they will be able to do. Soon, I think we will be asking ourselves, what cant our cellphones do?
