Internet of Things

The Future is amazing. The future looks bright in the US if we had that tech. it would help with the little things. But the Down side is it might make people more lazy and force the work force to be less skilled with the basic skills. It helps if one day if you left the lights on and you can turn them off from your smart phone, pretty easy. Sometimes the future comes to fast and we can't handle it. This could led to a major problem in the near future because a devastating mass technical blackout might come to pass. There is a video link.

Twitter/Square

Twitter is used all over the world by millions of people and they send out a billion tweets every three days. When he started twitter he was making decisions about the company behind closed doors. The board did not like these moves he was making, so they took him off the board. He did not take this very well. Later there was a change in company management and they brought him back. This time he had a new idea Square. What it is a device that allows anyone with an apple product to be a small business, allowing people to pay with their credit cards anywhere with the swipe of a finger. With this he will be able to expand all over the world. Allowing people to pay for anything anywhere.

Lethal Medicine

A compounding company that makes specialized medicine for one patient at a time started mass producing these drugs without the approval of the FDA. This small drug distributor had grown experientially out of proportion. At one time they had about 3000 clients or clinics ordering from them. The clinics would fill out forms for individual use but the names were often sceptical in nature, for example a couple names were like Homer Simpson and Bart Simpson. This raised a red flag for some of the sales personal but not others these were the only people to actually talk to 60 Minutes. Where the drugs were actually made was called Clean Room 1, but it wasn't clean. Up until they started filling mass orders they were very good at keeping the place clean. Then when the average work load increased by almost 1000% they could not handle it and often they would find mold around the clean room. This lead to mold being found in the drugs, but it was already too late. It had been shipped all around the country. Within the next few months of mass production people began dying. This could cause mass hysteria because if this got into the hands of really bad people that mean business then we could face a pandemic.

Vernon Davis

Vernon Davis the TE for the 49er's grew up in a suburb of DC. He was the oldest of seven, they were raised by their maternal grandmother. His grandmother did not want him to play football because she was afraid he was going to get hurt, but it became his emotional outlet. He was a monster at the university of Maryland for three ears then he was invited to the 2006 NFL draft where he was selected by the 49er's. his first year he siad that he didn't live up to his expectations. One blow out game against Seattle in 08 Vernon slap the safeties face mask and received a personal foul. His coach called him over and asked him to go to the locker room. He was thinking you are sending your best player to locker room in middle of a game, he has got to be crazy. Little did he know that this would be the turning point in his career in the NFL.
