Today I read an article called Why Wireless found in the fischbowl. This article talks about how schools are going wireless with cell phones. It stated that the whole school, students and staff, are allowed to use the internet on their phone instead of using the library or the computer lab. I thought that this article was interesting because students are always on their cellular devices and it would be a great way to make everything faster and easier for a student or staff member. I also thought though that it wouldn't be such a good idea because cell phone screens tend to be very small so it may cause problems when reading off work of some sort. I also thought it was a bad idea because we shouldn't just rely on phones because they can break easily, they can die, they can even run out of storage space. Although this would all be on the internet of the phone have the students or staff members ever thought to think about the bills for that device, because it costs just as much as texting to use the internet on a phone and some devices don't even have a phone. It would be cool to use wireless to do work at school but I personally feel that students and staff members get by just fine using the library or the computer lab.
This article not only relates to me and my fellow classmates but to the world also because this could be the new technology of schools worldwide and I think that everyone should look into this idea and give their opinions on whether it is good or not to use wireless devices like a cell phone do to any given school work.

Today I read an article about a man and a miracle. It was titled Firefighters marvel at accident victim's 'miracle' recovery found in the Rocky Mountain News. This article I thought was unbelievable because a man working at a loading dock in the Denver Tech Center had his head crushed by a hydraulic lift. Firefighters from stations around the area came to try to rescue him. When they found him though his head was a dark purple color, almost black looking, and damaged from the heavy duty metal. Surprisingly though this man has survived this awful accident and people question how did this happen?
I think that this article was a good article to read because in English class we are reading a book called Peace like a River and this book mainly talks about miracles. Comparing the books miracles to this mans miracle have amazing similarities and differences. I myself was shocked knowing that this man had survived through such a thing.
I think that this article not only matters to me but to the world as well, because it shows that miracles are true and that it is not just luck all the time. People usually don't get lucky outside of a casino especially when it is dealing with your life.
