This journal article is about how radiation from the phone can cause cancer! It hasn't been fully justified though but there are some evidential research going on this article.

In Bladerunner, what is Leon's reaction when Holden asks him about his mother? Quote the 1982 draft script and provide a full reference. (Check the trial databases)
Leon looks shocked, surprised. But the needles in the computer barelymove. Holden goes for the inside of his coat. But big Leon is faster. His LASER BURNS a hole the size of a nickel through Holden's stomach. Unlike a bullet, a laser causes no impact. Itgoes through Holden's spine and comes out his back, clean as a whistle. Like a ragdoll he falls back off the bench from the waist up. By the time he hits the floor, big slow Leon is already walking away. But he stops, turns and with a little smile of satisfaction, FIRES atmachine on the table.

Social networking sites are trendy. Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr are the main 'fashionable' sites that are obvious. It's quite possible though, that these sites will eventually become the 'old school' networking material which has happened to MySpace so to speak. For this week's task we have been asked to search an old source of communication, via the internet, that has lost their trendiness. I decided to search Usenet. First of all, since I've never even heard of this site, it's quite clear that it has faded in today's modern Internet society! And thus begins my Usenet journey...
Usenet was formed between 1970s and 80s, even before the World Wide Web was introduced (it was only 1991 that it was formerly announced). It was a very popular bulletin-board system, an excellent source to share information around. Between this period of early development, it was shared among the main US universities to transfer such educational resources and experimental data and later was able to connect internationally. It was at its peak point before the World Wide Web was developing rapidly and other sites were able to develop other, newer sources of sharing files. It's exclusive to people who want to share information with only the people they want to share it with.
However, people change and so does the way of communication on the net. Popularity doesn't last forever. I guess the creation of new technology is like this too. The item have their shine on days and then sooner or later something 'cooler' will replace it. Social networking sites are very much alike. When something newer approaches we are bound to be interested and slowly forget about the old.
