A) Overview
Technology being mobile has changed a lot in the past couple decades. There are mobile phones, mobile computers, and mobile gaming devices. These things have changed everything around them. Currently, there are 5.9 billion cell phone subscriptions worldwide.   Mobility is changing the world all the time. When the first touch screen phone came out it was revolutionary. Same thing when laptops came out, and when mobile gaming devices came out. A prototype of the first laptop(Dynabook) was shown off in 1973.The first cellphone call ever made was by Martin Cooper in 1973. Mobile devices have changed a lot since then, and will continue to change for a long time.The fact is, technology is advancing more and more each year giving electronics like the cell phone more uses. Before, the only things cell phones could do was be able to place calls and it was mobile.  Now cell phones can be used for searching the Internet, playing games, downloading apps, listening to music, text messaging, and yes making calls. Not only that, but we also have other mobile devices such as iPods and tablets, which can play music, store books and do so much more in no time at all. More phones are getting upgrades, like the ability to play videos and even HD voice. Wifi networking is expanding and becoming free in more places, and more places are starting to have service that have never had it before. It’s only going to get better and better until its so awesome it’ll blow you’re minds.

C) Education
Mobile technology has changed our world in more ways then anyone could ever image, The educational purposes for Mobile and Ubiquitous were very large in Elementary schools Middle/High school, and in College Education. For instance, video conferencing has changed the way we learn things.  Classrooms are becoming connected to the world with a simple click of a button now. You can take a laptop or iPad anywhere in your school that Wi-Fi and connect with anyone in the world through Skype or other video conferencing sites. In addition, you can research whatever you want to learn about on the Internet. You can assess the Internet wherever there is connection and research information you need for school projects or essays. Now with information on the Internet college students won’t need to buy as many books for their class because the information can be o nline. Also teens can do homework online and directly submit it to the teacher. Mobile and Ubiquitous also allows teens to check their mobile phones for any school related work such as assignments or for an upcoming test. On the down side, technology has also made it easier to cheat. With the invention of text messaging and Internet through a phone you can simply text your friend for an answer on a test or go onto Google and search for  <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">the answer. Lastly, mobile technology has changed the way kids focus in class. In conclusion, technology has had a negative and positive impacted to the education. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> **

D) Government, Politics and
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 19px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">We see major businesses and even our government using new technologies everyday. For example, many businesses and companies actually give out mobile phones to their employees to use on the go or while on vacation. With laptops and smartphones, it is possible to collaborate with your fellow employees to work on a project together while being in altogether. Our government is funding and incorporating many different types of technology into our daily lives. The freedom of the internet, and it’s knack of letting people do anything and view anything has angered some people. Governements around the world have been trying to restrict internet use in certain countries by blocking certain websites and actions. SOPA and ACTA are two bills that are examples of these situations. Satelites and towers are always being constructed to improve the way technology helps out our lives. However, eventually, some believe that this same technology may one day take over jobs. If currently, workers can easily use technology to do their work from practically anywhere in the world, what’s the next step?

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> Street photography is unique art.

Street photography is also known as straight photography. It uses scenes from everyday life for its subjects. It can focus on anything from a park to a mall to just streets. Street photography differs from traditional photography in that it documents a portrait of the world, rather than one subject. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 19px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">
