Blockbuster total acess vs. /redbox vs. / netflix

There are several ways to enjoy movies now in days, but the only ways I have used, are going to blockbuster and renting movies, or ordering them threw cable. I have looked into netflix, redbox and total access, and I feel that all of them are extremely beneficial. If I had one to choose then I would use netflix, because it is extremely popular with my friends and family. It is easy to use, inexpensive, and I wouldn't mind waiting for movies to come in the mail. There is not a redbox in my home town or a blockbuster so that would be my deciding factor.

Old Time Radio

We were asked to listen to old time radio shows and decide if that is something that we would still enjoy today. I feel that I would still enjoy listening to them, but I do prefer to watch a show on the TV. I like to be entertained by watching and listening to my entertainment. If I want to relax in the afternoon I can see  myself just listening to a radio show. I feel it is something that some people may still enjoy for years to come because it teaches you to use your imagination as you listen to the show.

iTunes vs Napster

iTunes or Napster? Personally I feel that it is your own choice on what one you choose. My personal choice would be iTunes, since that is the one i have the most experience with. I do own an ipod and can assure that I have not spent 10,000 to fill it up. That is a crazy assumption from Napster. I have a huge collection of music at home in which i downloaded to my ipod. iTunes also offers music threw the ipad and iphone, which are also great products. Now, Napster has some added features that may be more suited to many individuals, like new songs added instantly, as well as home audio and theater options. To me if you get an ipod port that is the same thing. I still feel that iTunes is the better choice for myself.

The end of paper

Is it the end of paper? I feel that with today's society now is, "going green". I think that there are a lot of individuals now going toward a green environment, such as using more Internet and computer technology. Also, another reason people may be looking for other options than paper may be the fact that printer ink is so expensive. With today's economy i feel it would be a better investment to use the Internet then to buy paper copies every day, and it is better for the environment.

I think that it is also interesting that scientist's are creating thin films to watch and receive news on. A modern form of this is the kindle and nook book, they allow you to read books without the paper copy. They are also trying to create glasses as a single piece that allow you to watch videos and read information. It is crazy to hear about the technology that is at the grasp of society, and what we can create for the future.

Banning Books

Schools all across the country are banning books, thinking that they are harmful to childreen. I feel that this is rediculos, there is no reason that dictionarys and other books should be banned for such little reasons. In california the dictionary was banned for the face that they thought the word oral sex was not age approperate. Sylvester and the magic pebble, is a childreens book that was banned in Illinois, because they thought that it potrayed cops as being pigs. Even more outragious was the childreens book "Brown bear brown bear what do you see?", was banned due to the auther having the same name as a terrist, even thought they are not the same person.
I feel that these bans are out of control, as we have a right to freedom of speech, and the freedom to write and read whatever we want. I feel that if you ban all of the books that show mild violence, sexism, as well as inoproperate language then childreen will be sheltered. When I say sheltered I mean that there are certain things childreen do need to know so they understand right from wrong, and know what to say and what not to say. As a child I read all of these books and I feel that I have turrned out just normal and if not even more educated than most on life, due to understanding some of these controversies.
