The battle against racism has been a long-standing war between races and those who stereotype and continue to find wrong in people simply because of the color of their skin. It seems as though this battle will be on-going for generations to come, because even the teens who live in a global online community have ill thoughts about the races around them.

Most social networks have a “Find Friends” feature that lets you import your own contacts to see which of your real-life friends have profiles on said social network. But when iPhone users use that same feature on Twitter, their contacts are getting stored on the social media website’s database for 18 months.

These laptops, netbooks, tablets and smartphones are becoming an integral part of the daily learning experience and are being embraced by teachers and students alike.
I’m really not a fan of keeping iThings in the kitchen. While cooking, my iPhone stays far away, or in a pocket concealed by my apron. The iPad stays out of the kitchen completely, far away from all raw meat, flours, vegetable bits, and worst of all, liquids.
