Filters. Filters.....

The essay was marked and handed back. A few days ago I was whiling away some time and discovered a game ( on the phone). I cannot put it down, last night I played until the all the power was used. At this stage I need to have a filter put onto the phone. It is the first time that have realized what addiction means. I have now developed great empathy for people who develop these addictions. I was always told that it does not "take much" to become addicted.

FILTERS

After doing the assignment and the test I am still being made aware of the topic. Last week, while I was getting ready for work a guest on the morning radio programme spoke about the need for filters to protect people from adverse information. I heard his explanation and agreed with him. The interesting part for me would have been when the public was allowed to phone to give their opinions and ask questions. Unfortunately I had to leave home to be punctual at work. This forces me to use the "new" technology ie. podcasting. Podcasting  has been used for some time by people who have missed programmes. Now I am left with another challenge which I will have to master in order to gain maximum use of the reading on internet filters.
