National Scholar!

Of all the scholars we had to choose from, I found Sonia M. Livingstone to be the most interesting! She studied and received a degree in Psychology within the field of Communications. I thought that this was interesting because I am a Mass Media major and she works a lot with kids. I'm glad that she takes pride in teaching about Internet safety and the dangers of the online world. Kids are now exposed to a lot more stuff than when I was a kid ten years ago. She also is an advocate of directing younger people to healthier food choices. I can tell that she cares a lot about future generations and the greater being of our world.



This video below is Mrs. Sonia Livingstone talking about the opportunities and risks for children onine. To find out more about her resume and what she accomplished, make sure you check out this site: http://www2.lse.ac.uk/researchAndExpertise/Experts/s.livingstone@lse.ac.uk

Tech Tweeting?

Rumor is there's an iPad coming to Verizon? Welp I guess AT&T's monogamous relationship with Apple's iPad has officially ended. Sources say that a wi-fi version of the iPad will lauch October 28th ranging between $630-$830. I personally think that it's a waste of money because there are many compact laptops that have the same features at a much cheaper price. I think apple is getting redundant as well. The ipod touch looks just like the iphone, and now the ipad just looks like a bigger version of both. Who really needs a touch screen anyway? I guess when it comes down to it, the tech savvy people will want it just because it's a new thing on the market.






For more information about the release check out this Washington Post article:
