People might be asking for a little too much $$
After reading the article Gianna posted about a lawsuit against KFC in Australia it made me realize how people take asdvantage of their situation. Of course it is horrible that this little girl suffered from brain damage and is now in a wheel chair, but to sue a company for $8 million is in my opinion ridiculous. Although it's the companies fault for the familes illness of salmonella, i don't believe it's their fault for how serious her condition became. The article doesn't go indepth to how she was treated and even if she was treated right away which could have a significant effect on how bad her case got. The familes situation is horrible and tragic but 8million dollars is also alot of money. If that is actually what they had to pay for medical bills and inconvience, then KFC should definitely award them with that much, but if not then they are just looking for some extra cash.

Let's talk about the iPhone
Hello everyone,
For my personal posts this year i will be talking about the phones of this generation. With the newest iphone 5 being released for preordering in just a few days, i believe it is an appropriate topic to address being that phones have become our own little world. It is truly astonishing how phones have changed throughout this past decade, all starting with the very first iphone in 2007 (Iphone 2g- the first generation). Which debatably has transformed to be one of the most talkable and desirable phones on the market.It brought a new outlook on phones to the world. No longer were phones used just for calling and texting but were now basically a portable tablet (computer). They allow easy access to the internet, a place to hold your songs, and keep information all to your self electronically, plus the added apps which can keep you entertained any place you are. With such a high turn out and demand for these phones, apple followed with another iphone that next year called the iphone 3G. The demand grew higher and higher and is extremely high today. After the release of the iPhone 3GS, 4G, and 4Gs apple released the iPhone 5g which had many rumors of holographic keyboards and what not. Sadly the newest iPhone is really nothing new. Appearance wise it basically looks the same except the 5g is slightly taller with a longer screen, ans a slate section on the back. It is also about an ounce lighter. Software wise it has a new a6 chip that will basically make it double the speed, graphics and 22% smaller than the iPhone 4s's a5 chip. After doing some reading my conclusion is that the new iphone 5 is not much different from the 4s or even the 4g. Yet so many people are preordering it and so excited for it to come out. It goes to show you how Materalistic our world has become and how we always want the newest best thing.
