iphone 5


Our technology has advance so much that there is always new cell phones coming out. One of the best new cell phones is the iphone 5. I purchased my iphone 5 about a month ago and I really like it. The iphone 5 is very similar to the iphone 4 and 4s. One of the major diffrenecs is the screen size. The iphone 5 is .5 more inches bigger than the iphone 5. The iphone 5 is carried by AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint.  The iphone 5 has many features that make it unique. The phone comes with very helpful apps like mail, youtube, maps, safari, and music. If those aren’t enough apps there is an app store. The app store is one of the best features the iphone 5 has. With the app store people can buy or get free apps which make the phone more entertaining. The iphone 5 also includes FaceTime which allows two people communicate face to face with one another. Another great feature is imessage. With imassage, iphone 5 users can send text messages to itouchs and ipads without any extra cost. The iphone 5 also has a great camera, it has 8 megapixels. Another great new thing about the iphone 5 is how light it is. It is always convenient not to have a heavy phone in your pocket or your purse. The iphone 5 is also great if you like social networks. Twitter and Facebook are integrated into the iphone 5 which makes everything much easier. I personally really recommend the iphone 5. There is a lot of different things that you can do with it. Whenever you are bored you can play free games or check your social networks. If you need help with anything you can easily use Google to try to solve the problem or use the maps app to find directions. Overall it is a very helpful and entertaining phone.

FFN


Reading Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser was a great learning experience. There were many things I wasn’t aware of. Before reading the book all I knew was that hamburgers where good and that is about it. I didn’t know how the fast food industry worked. I learned about how they advertise which I found really interesting. I also learned about different industries that are affected by the fast food industry. What surprised me the most where the slaughterhouses. I never knew that they were so dangerous. I personality love fast food but I try not to eat it a lot. After reading the book I will probably eat a little less fast food for a couple of weeks but then forget about what I learned. I have to think twice because what scared me the most is the diseases that animals have. I found chapter 9 very interesting and also very scary. That was the chapter that made me think twice about what I consume. The e-coli bacteria is something I never want to come near. Before this book I never really knew anything about fast food and now I do. I am more informed about the industry. I will always love junk food and I don’t think I am going to change but it is very good that at least now I know more about the meat and where it comes from.
