run awayyy

these new mobile technologies, as many have commented, have pros and cons. it seems as though the more revolutionary the technologies get the harder it is to keep them secure. but another thing that i almost have more of a problem with is how addicting some of these new technologies become. things like facebook and twitter and texts from last night occupy college students' minds for hours while they procrastinate from doing their real work. which okay, you're in college procrastination becomes a part of life sometimes...

however, when technology that involves your mobile phone is discovered by older generations it becomes a little bit of a liability. with tracking technologies they can know where you are at all times, it starts to get difficult to lie about your "sick" day...or with SMS technology which obvs has been used for awhile now, your boss can send you a message where you are expected to respond within a certain timeframe because they know growing up with technology like this, your cell is always with you.

mobile email is another issue that i've personally run into in the past. i only very recently started receiving email alerts to my cell and my experience with it is definitely up and down. but for work and even quite a bit with the university many exepct you to have 24/7 access to your email so that you know the latest about class and work schedules. so if you're on your way and the office is closed you won't have traveled all the way there and are disappointed showing up alone.

so close your eyes, turn around and run awayyyy (while you still have the chance since they haven't implanted a tracking chip underneath your skin...yet)
