The iPad 2, 5.1 Seconds and Smart Covers
I thought this article was pretty silly. It talks about how it takes 5.1 seconds to turn an iPad on. With this new cover, as soon as you take the cover off, the iPad is on and it saves you time! I know that eventually time adds up, but I think people need to learn some patience.

Facebook Users Who Are Under Age Raise Concerns
3.6 million of Facebook’s 153 million users are under the age of 12. I know that technically none of us really "need" a facebook, but a 12 year old (or younger) most definitely doesn't "need" one. This article shed a new light and something that actually seems quite obvious: These kids are lying about their age.
It may seem kind of silly, but that shows that it is okay to these young kids that are so impressionable. When parents are telling their kids that it is okay to lie about their age and make a Facebook, it is telling that child that it is not a big deal. Therefore, when this child grows up, it is more likely that they will lie about being 16, 18, 21, etc.
I think the main thing that this article made me think about is that kids and teens are very impressionable. I don't think people keep that in mind so much. What they are learning now is going to stick with them and affect them later in life and that's something I think everyone needs to keep in the back of their mind.

Bus Overturns on Bronx Highway, Killing 14
This article really freaked me out. I have taken buses to New York quite a few times since I moved to Maryland because that is where both of my sisters live. This is such a tragedy that so many people were killed and others were put in critical condition. I've thought about how hard it would be to drive such a large vehicle like the charter buses, and this article proves this.
