Should You Worry about Cell Phone, Cellular Antenna, and Wi-Fi Device Radiation?


Coming from a person born in the information age each of us carries the yoke of keeping in touch with friends and family or business associates. But with most good things of life staying in-touch does come at a price.

About 80 percent of the people in the world use cell phones or at least have access to cellular services in America the rate is 46 new subscribers per day. And it is way higher in the world over especially in developing countries that are still catching up on the technology. The main concern is the risk of cancer from the radiation that is emitted by the different electronic devices; televisions, alarm systems and especially computers and telephones. Some research shows that the antenna is the main source of radiofrequency radiation in cellular phones and the further the antenna is from the body the lesser impact.

In some communities the municipalities restrict the increase of antennas in there area although they might not be able to file lawsuits and win because of the lack of solid evidence, more research is still under way.

And for now we all have to be caution when we use our cellular phones and try by all means to reduce the amount that we use them calling without a hands free kit. If possible to use other means of communications that holds less risk of radiation.

Should the Government Allow You to sign Up for a Do-Not-Track List?

Did you know that when you visit a website that as an advertisement or a social networking site there is a high chance that there is someone recording that you visited and viewed the advertisement. They are able to do this through the use of tiny images or invisible JavaScript which purposefully is to track and record your browsing habits.
This information really comes into great use to advertising firms that need to know precisely which ad to put on in the different sites that you will be surfing. The theory is that, if you are looking for a car you will notice that advertisements that you will come across will be related more or less on to auto vehicles. It truly amazing the things that happen on the web as you are innocently browsing on the internet.
At first one might not mind what these sites are doing, one might actually ague that it is a very intellectual idea and purely harmless. But if one is to sit down and think that if the same idea could be used against them what would be the consequences. With almost everything digitalized it is virtually possible for someone to track each and every activity that you are doing with your concern. This is would be violating privacy policy that protect you and me.
Because of these disturbances on the internet activists have suggested that the government should implement new and strict policies that protect the citizens from preying companies. That are accumulating information on each person as soon as they create an account on the internet. And track them were ever they go and creating a “digital dossia”.

What should be done about Identity Theft ?

Identity theft is one of modern crimes that have hit the charts especially with the introduction of the internet. Some people have been or know someone who was victimized by this terror. But who is the blame the browsers of the web designers. It would be very much unfair on the part of the officials or web designers to carry all of the responsibility. As much as it is easy to point the finger at them is is also the individual’s responsibility to take care of them, especially who they give their details. The only situation when an individual is not held responsible is when that person is still a minor or under age. In that case the corporate are to take up their responsible by setting up regulations or programs to monitor their sites and safeguard from any injury comes to the users. But on the other hand, each individual is responsible of the risk that they put they put themselves into when they utilize a anonymous pop-up window offering a quick fast cash deal. At the same time I wouldn’t like to despise the fact that there are some of us who are very much naïve to fall for them and increase the statistics figures each year. And because of such people who fall victims to these offenders of this crime in the face of all the warnings and information. Became prey of these predators of this crime should face stun and harsh sentences that ill make them to think thrice not twice before such an idea is entertained in there minds.

Who Is Responsible for Bugs?


A software bug is the common term used to describe an error, flaw, mistake, failure, or fault in a computer program or system that produces an incorrect or unexpected result, or causes it to behave in unintended ways. Most bugs arise from mistakes and errors made by people in either a program's source code or its design, and a few are caused by compilers producing incorrect code.

From the definition provided above we discover that bugs come up as a result of mistakes but in all cases someone has to take responsibility for them especially when someone is paying for the product. Each company is responsible of the products that it releases to the public and if any accident occurs the firm is the to face the consequence. If the firm is held responsible that will mean that the company will be more cautious before it is sued and pays tones of money for a lawsuit or before its reputation is tarnished.

And if a user discovers a bug even in a security system the user should not be disciplined instead it would be more appropriate for firm to award the user for notifying them. In some cases bugs result in terribly tragedies and some of them even death. So it would be a privilege on the firms side for a customer to alert them for an error in there own product.
