Everything that is part of the matrix is hidden right now behind your cellphones(soon), credit cards, scanners, TV, passports, or look around you right now maybe there is something that is hidden. What is being placed under these devices is called RFID which stands for Radio Frequency Identification which is used for tracking using radio waves. It can be done from a distance from far away. Employers use them at such places like Costco with a scanner that has RFID implanted on them. Also when you go to the library and stand in line to have your books rented they use scanner and in just a few seconds all the information of when you rented and the name of the book is with your own information. Great isn't it and less time consuming! So I chose this because it almost reflects the movie Matrix and many others. Since it seems that almost like the matrix the thing behind all of it is that we have always been so used to what we watch on TV. Significantly because of the so called “terrorist” attack after 9/11 people have now easily given up their liberty to wear an RFID chip especially the first American family to use this which was on the news. Next your own dog. Then in the USA military. In the news they seem to make all of the excuses up to deceive you and some are people would already being programmed to want to take it without realizing the consequences. It’s all propaganda! Don't buy into it. It's an agenda. Just like they did with Iraq! You have to convince a child that the boogeyman will get you if they don't comply. Why would you a human being want to be tracked or treated like cattle for someone’s own greed? Simple as that. I think the technology is great but we don’t have to go to extremes to use it on humans. It's humans who do the damage more than technology. Like Franklin Roosevelt said "only thing we have to fear is the itself". It happened to John Lennon when he got wiretapped for speaking the truth. And just like the song “Year 2525” by Zager and Evan,"Your arms hanging limp at your sides. Your legs got nothing to do. Some machine’s doing that for you." Even if it wasn't to happen realize that the more we click on it we still benefit the ad companies with all the clicks. Just ask Paris Hilton who became number one on google clicks. We can’t escape the Matrix! Buts its possible.
The sidekick is today one of the most common used because it does seem to have a mix of our likes and what us consumers look for in the best. The sidekick is a phone consisting of keyboard like features only more smaller for texting much better with our buddies or relatives. It's also a phone you can use to call. Or take pictures. It even has pictures for you to take. I chose this because this item defines how stuck we can be on a small thing like this more than your own pet or family. It significantly has changed the world in the past few years. While it has been of a good technology for us I think it keeps us distracted because we use this to mostly text. One bad example is when in the news a teen was reported to have sent 3,339 texts. I think parents should let their kids be able to use such technology for important communication only. It's ridiculous how these days you have to see a teen use this object almost all day. Even at school kids are now texting with the sidekick. I see it all the time and the teacher doesn't even notice. I think the parents nowadays gives them this because of the bandwagon. It's nothing but a bandwagon and the parents should stop it. This is why this sidekick and many other technology is being questioned weather or not we are becoming anti-social. Well in my opinion I think it is. Look at how many teen guys or even young adults ridiculously use sidekicks or cellphones to end relationships or say hi to girls and then you wonder why no girl is feeling. Well there is no physical or human contact. People should be aware of this and know better before we turn into a globalized servants to the machines.Because we really do benefit the companies that are creating this. So demand goes up and they create something else and we the leeches there we go again. I'm not saying this is bad. The point is use it when its necessary not to the point where its over the limit because studies do show that we are able to do other productive things and feel much better about it!
As of today as we all know is that Facebook and Myspce are the biggest social internet uses of internet. Literally we can comminicate with anyone around the world. We can post our own pictures. We can promote our songs. Where we will go, where we are located, what you like or don't,etc. This is what most of these sites are about and I think its great. The reason I chose it is because I know this deals with people who just sit there relying on these sites like its their only salvation to boredom. Those are in my opinion stuck to the Matrix. Significantly this is how the new century is being changed and I wonder if this just the beginning and nothing but a test from the elite to see how these leeches feed off the machines and we are seeing just that especially with most teens or young adults who do nothing productive and rely on this myspace and facebook to see the number of friends they have like it's a big deal. So if this Matrix movie were to be true then we are not living in a world where we are sitting there along just freely posting our information. Eventually somebody is watching and uses your information for ads. There is a reason why Facebook or Myspace might be free also. For example just last month a teacher got busted for being a former stripper on her facebook profile. My question why does the school have to care and make a big deal of this. Isn't it supposed to be "private". Just how much illusion are we supposed to succumb to. We can use this technology but be more alert to the matrix and if it's created to satisfy just us the consumer but it doesn't seem like that. But I may be overreacting right then ok maybe I am so let our children or us young adults sit there most of the day browsing fake robot semi-naked women, that its cool for women to post semi-naked pictures or that its cool to so have a million friends. Later on don't be complaining why facebook or myspace has become a haven for ads, crashes, fakes, spams,etc. It's because we let it and parents should be the number one influence and role models, not TV or trash celebrities.
interesting especially RFIDS
