critique #2

Candy Crush on airplanes? I've seen billboards around advertising new planes coming out with WiFi soon, and honestly that scares me. Are people really willing to risk radio interference just because they can't take a couple of hours break from technology? USA Today posted an article about Wifi on planes stating it needs more study, and I couldn't agree more.

          Actor Alec Baldwin is reportedly the one that started it all after refusing to shut down a game on his phone. The ban to keep your phone completely off during takeoff and landing is being questioned and a proposal whether or not to allow to keep it in “airplane mode” is being pushed into affect.

I feel like companies are jumping the gun and not checking every technoligcal device and how it can interfere and affect flights just to be the first few flight companies to have Wifi. And really, are flight attendants really going to go through the trouble of checking everyone who has their phone out? Are fliers going to allow them to do that, will they even bother in the first place to put their phone in airplane mode? 

 

Critique #1

   healthcare.gov was set up because 36 states declined to set up their own exchanges, it was all the rage until it was open to the public and did not live up to any of the hype expected. USA Today posted an article about the new healthcare website and how it is causing more harm than good. They question why it took so long for any sort of action to take place and say the hearing should suggest changes in “the clumsy way the government buys and manages technology.” (USA Today) I completely agree with this article, after 3 years of this plan, shouldn't the website be flawless like none other complete with unicorns and rainbows shooting out of the wazoo? You would think so, especially after the government shutdown, it should be some sort of comeback to renew people’s faith in the government.   Is the website being a flop foretelling what the new healthcare plan will be?  Obama states once the website’s glitches are fixed and the website is appealing enough, people will be happy. Maybe they will be, at least until the healthcare plan comes into effect.
