Current Event #4
1.) Topic? The topic of my article is a new Iphone feature that is considerably safe.
2.) Title? Iphone Feature Helping Emergency Responders Treat Patients
3.) Source? http://www.kltv.com/story/30057728/iphone-feature-helping-emergency-responders-treat-patients
4.) Summary? This article is basically a woman who make sure that everything she does can be done safely. Sheridan Lewis gives her statement about a new feature on Iphones that can help out paramedics when they need to reach a close contact or give you a certain type of medicine. The feature allows anything to be put in it, but physicians say its more safer to put basic information.
5.) Reaction? This article gives me a feeling of safety, but also a disgusting feeling because it’s unbelieveable what our world has come to when it comes to electronics. I mean yes, if a cell phone is the only thing you have at the moment it’s useful, but what about the bracelets and necklaces people used to use. Electronics do not make me feel safe at all,mostly because I hear about all the deaths that are caused by them. The idea to have a paramedic have to look at your phone just to find out all your medical information, makes me wonder, what if we didn’t have electronics?
6.) Effect the world? This article basically shows how our world is made up of electronics. It can help in some cases like the lady in the article, but if you’re driving, its usually a distraction. Most people nowadays don’t have their phones for emergency. I honestly think that most people won’t even set this new feature up.

Current Event #1
1.) Random act of kindness.
2.) Stranger Foots $4k Dental Bill for Woman
3.) www.Kltv.com
4.) This article shows that there is actually good people in this world. A poor woman wasn’t going to be able to pay for a bill, and a wealthier woman stepped in and paid for it. The woman described this act as her mom sending her an angel from above.
5.) I think this is phenomenal. This makes me feel like there is actually hope for this world after all. I’ve actually never seen a kind act like this before,but I can only imagine the look on this woman’s face when she met her new friend. This makes me feel like all the people in this world aren’t here to live their life, but to live it to the fullest. I was just thinking the other day about how scary it’s going to be in the real world, but it’s people like Ann that give my nerves a little ease.
6.) This article makes the world seem like a better place. Of course, if I were to give this piece of news and compare it to some others,no one would want to live here because of all the other catastrophes that happen like robbery,murder,and sexual harassment. This article does give out a bit of hope for everyone. Like I said in the earlier paragraphs, this let people know that not everyone is here to put a bad mark on the world. This should make the human population feel a little secure.
