Yes, the Social Network came out yesterday and of course being a tech geek I was super psyched to go see, so being a super tech geek, I did like 2 hours ago. Yes, I still call it Facebook the Movie because thats what it is, but it could also go by Mark Zuckerberg the Asshole. So yea, that was pretty much all the movie was about, showing how Mark created Facebook (much of it being fiction) and how he was an asshole while doing so. As for the movie - it as entertaining and fun, but at the same time it wasn't amazing. Do I recommend you go see? Yes definitely, is it an "edge of your seat thrill ride" no, but I'm sure The New York Times calls it something like that. (Yes its OK to lol at my jokes, even if your family members wonder if you're crazy)
So another somewhat big thing in tech news for not just today, but for the last month or so, is texting bans. There has actually been an increase in accidents since texting bans have gone into affect and many people say that this is because now people,in order to conceal their phone while texting, are texting in their laps and not looking at the road. Not looking at the road+Texting = More accidents. So obviously something has to be done because even we don't have these texting bans in states, accidents because of texting will still happen! So here is what I think should happen: Technology needs to step in, much like it did with people talking on phones while driving, Bluetooth was created and spawned a whole wave of hands free calling in cars. In the same manner I think if Text to Speech was better and could convert what you say into a text, people would actually use it!
So what do you think should happen about this the texting problem? Email me at mahir.shah1@gmail.com or follow me on twitter @mahirshah1 or do the same if you have questions, comments, or even ideas for my next post. Tank you! (yes I purposely said Tank you!)
