"ONE CHALLENGE"

Like everyone is saying we a truly living in a recession. Our world as we know it is going through a lot of economic changes, which are affecting many today as well as myself and my family. Not only are gases prices rising, but so are tuition, food, houses, and many more. My dad is self-employed. He has had his clothig and manufacturing coming before I was even thought about and just the other day he said he might have to get another job because, "times are rough." That' been his only job he's had since forever and now after all these years his what use to be a successful job is taking a toll for the rest. I believe it's because our economy is in such a disarray. People can't afford all the glamorous material things they once could because money is tight, funds are low. I believe the only solution to this is cut backs. People need to cut back on the things they can live without. Only taking and using those things they need. Recycling more could help tremendously that way we reuse things instead of throwing so much stuff away. Also, carpooling cannot only help with less pollution but it could help with people saving their gas. We need to start tking action now before it's too late.

END- No Technology Communciation

END-6:58 p.m.
Finally the torture is over!!! My experience was horrible, I felt like a lost puppy. I live and breathe for my phone and to have that taken away from me was like sentencing me to life in prison. The no email, myspace, and facebook part was bad becuase I'm not a fan of computers anyways. But the no television and phone part was another whole story. Television has always been apart of my life. I was never and still is not a radio person. I like watching t.v., I find it to be relaxing and makes the day's go by quicker. Yesterday just seem like an eternity because I couldn't watch t.v.
But the no phone had definitely been the worst part. I'm in a long distance relationship, so my boyfriend and I communicate by phone. Since I couldn't use my phone, we couldn't talk. I really missed his voice.
But besides all that, I had cut my phone off because I didn't want to be tempted and use it, my sister got in a bad accident and her car was totaled. I'm from Hollywood, which is about three and half to four hours away from Tampa. The phone is also away that I talk to my family.
If someone is away from home they need communication to keep in contact with others just in case something goes wrong. Communication is a major part of life. Writing letters take to long. People need instant communication such as, email, the phone, and the news off of the t.v., to know what's taking place in the world.
