RFID Passports
The dangers of RFID passports are they are yet another breach of our basic human rights. Once again governments are taking more steps to create a system where our every move and transaction is recorded and monitored. RFID pushes the boundry even further, in that authorities dont even have to approach you to learn your most intimate details and how do we know this technology is going to stay within the confines of airports and in the right hands.

ID Cards
ID cards will become compulsory for all foreign nationals, working immigrants and marriage visa holders as of November 2008. The new scheme is basically a pilot scheme to soften the blow when the Government inevitable introduce the cards as a compulsory item. The ICT involved in the scheme is quite extensive:
• Each card will have a chip holding all your personal data. Including you face, fingerprints and iris patterns.
• There will be a massive database with everyone’s data stored upon it so anomity will become a thing of the past.
The scheme that will be put in place in November is just a dupe to soften the blow when the cards a made compulsory for all citizens. The amount of Immigrants the scheme is been tested on will have no impact on the amount of immigration and illegal work going on in Britain.
I believe Id cards are a complete breach of our privacy, Id cards are just another step on the road to Britain becoming a real life manifestation of George Orwels 1984.

Ericsson T28
Ultra-thin Ultra-light flip phone
This is a great, phone. When first released in 1999 it was one of the thinnest, lightest and smallest phones available.
It was THE phone to have.
It is still a marvel. The phone weighs a tiny 81 grams
(as compared to 139 grams for the Nokia 8800)
It also has a super-cool automatic opening flip. Just press the tiny button on the side and the flip mouthpiece opens instantly.
Here are a few good reasons why these phones are better:
No colour screen = longer battery life
Modern colour screen camera phones need recharging every day
Battery Life
(when new)
Talk: 4.50 hours (270 minutes)
Standby: 200 hours (8.2 days)
No blurry low-resolution camera
No awful ringtones
No internet browsing - no expensive data charges
Simple, perfect for calls and texts.
These phones still look very cool today.
The phone IS NOT supplied with a charger, you may already have one of the very common early Ericsson chargers - if not we can advise where you can get cheapy chargers
We will also email you a copy of the USER MANUAL in Acrobat reader .pdf format after your purchase and payment.
The battery life/survival is generally very good and your phone will be sent to you with a tested working battery. Replacements are still also widely available at low prices online.
We have three versions available for sale:
The Ericsson T28s which operates on the GSM 900/1800 and works with Vodafone, O2, T-Mobile, Virgin and Orange in the UK and other European networks - £24.99

The Ericsson T28s locked to the UK Orange network - £19.99

Grandmas Phone
I have decoded the best value phoe to buy grandma would be the Erricson T28. This phone is almost ten years old now so you can pick a brand new one up for 20 pounds with 300 minutes of talk time already payed for. The downside is the phone is locked to the uk orange network so it doesnt work abroad. But grandma is unlikely to go abroad anfd if she does it will probably not be alone so someone will be able to make a call for her.

1) Computer games have become so popular in the last few years mainly because people of any age, gender, ability, race….etc can enjoy and play them. They are also relatively cheap and extremely available.
2) No, I believe compute games don’t make us any more violent. People have always been violent, people always look for a something to blame there problems on and computer games are a perfect scapegoat.
3) Computer games don’t make you any more or less isolated. If someone wants to be isolated from the world then they would still be able to do that without computer games, its just people who may want to be isolated may play on computer games frequently therefore people assume it’s the computer game making people isolated not he person.
4) Network games are not particularly social in then traditional sense. You do speak to people online but you don’t actually come face to face with them meaning your social skills are not particularly developing.
