Tech Article: Secure Phones

There's no such thing as a fully tamper-proof phone, but two new mobile devices are coming close. If you try to take it apart it self-destructs. It also has built-in disk encryption, which protects stored data by converting it into garbled code. They are not staying how much the device will cost and when and where it will be available, but the phone won't be in your local store. It's intended for the government contractor's defense and security customers. Link

Invisiblity

          If I were invisible for a day I would take this opportunity to do so many good things. There is so many things that is going on in the world that needs to be changed and fix. There are people I know that are going through tough times and I would love to help. I would feed the hungry and help homeless people find homes. I am a very caring person and I will do everything in my power to help.
         I don't need to be honored for doing something nice; I want to do it out of the kindness in my heart. For me to do something nice is not unusual. I love to do things that make people feel good and make them filled with joy. When others are happy I am happy. To be invisible for a day and do something nice wouldn't compare to doing something nice everyday. Acts of kindness goes along way even unnoticed and I would take that over any day.
