...Amendment IV (1791)- 8.) Government must have a search warrant based on probable cause Courts Divided Over Searches of Cellphones Source: The NY Times November 25, 2012 http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/26/technology/legality-of-warrantless-cellphone-searches-goes-to-courts-and-legislatures.html?ref=searchandseizure&_r=0 This right states that government make the search and seizure warrant based on the cause. For example, if a person was accused for some crime and that person already have record of the crime before then the court will make the warrant based on that record. Sometime policies don’t need warrant such as bounty hunters, because the court already took the rights of the person who is being accused away. This right basically protects law enforcement more than citizens. Judges and lawmakers discussed about the legality of searching through civilians’ cell phones without a warrant. A man was put on trial for the murder of a 6 year old boy. The phone was crucial because it served as a possible leading evidence. The phone was searched without a warrant. Criminal or not from the U.S.; they are still protected and under its safeguard. Even though the person is a murderer and law enforcers go through his private property, they should get a search warrant because he or she is still a citizen of the United States, therefore he or she is still protected by the law. Most law enforcers sees this as obstruction to the path of justice, but they should...

...the constant changing needs and preferences of customers. Among doing so, the adoption rates of cellphones have had one of the fastest rates of any technologies. Nowadays cellphones have become very important parts of the human’s daily lives and communications across the world. Cellphones today are used more than ever before. They have the ability to do many of our everyday tasks like banking, emailing, scheduling, and picture taking. The mobile phone market is highly competitive and manufacturers are constantly looking for competitive advantages to persuade customers to select their brands instead of the competitors'. Key factors that play into the purchasing of mobile phones are price, quality, durability, simplicity, and brand name. I conducted some surveys to try and better understand if the durability and user-friendliness of a cellphone plays greater roles on the male consumers vs. the female consumers when deciding on mobile phones to be purchased. I chose this segment because Samsung and Apple corporations are both the leading providers for the cellphone industry. I was interested in the user-friendliness and durability aspects because it is very common to hear the arguments of which phones are better, and which phones break more often. I also thought that the questions would be very relevant topics for my classmates, considering the fact that the majority of cellphone users in our age group have either Samsung or Apple products. Prior to my research, I was unsure...

...Essay Topic: use of cellphones in school Cell phones should be allowed to use in every school in the united states. Although cell phones can be a distraction during class time also can be helpful for students and teachers. There are many reasons to allowed students use their phones during school. The cellphone can provide safety to students and also it can be used as a learning tool for them. Instead of having schools wasting time trying to get rid of cellphones, we need more schools giving cellphones an educational usage for their students. Now almost every teenager own a cellphone, tablet, or a device used for entertainment. Many schools since these devices appeared have watching it as a problem for their institutions. Schools don't realize the real capacity of the cellphones. If schools start making students to use their cellphones to learn,research, and read it would be easier to learn. Students would not text or play with their phones because they would be learning on their phones. There are a lot of educational apps like electronic books,calculators, word processors educational games and they can access to educational websites. These things would improve every school and student of America. Not only better education improves a school also a very important factor is the safety. The main reason some parents buy cellphones to their children is because it provides safety to them. You dont know what can happen during school, students could have an accident , an attack...

...The article “NYPD tracked citizens’ cellphones 1,000 times since 2008 without warrants” written on February 11, 2016 by Ciara McCarthy focused on NYPD tracking people’s cellphones using stingrays. According to records obtained by the New York Civil Liberties Union recently, the NYPD has tracked cellphone’s over 1,000 times since 2008, all without obtaining a warrant, since it’s not required. NYPD says they use “stingrays”, after attaining lower- level court orders before using the device. These devices can track a cell phones location, track a persons movement through their cellphone use, detect phone numbers that person has been communicating with, bypass cellphone carriers and track data of bystanders of individuals close to the one being tracked....

...“Should You Be Snuggling With Your Cellphone” The informative article that I read was about the potential hazards that Cellphone snuggling may have. Although most people may not read the fine print on cellphones before or after purchase, there are some risks associated with cellphone snuggling. Research is showing that the radiation from snuggling could have a small connection with brain cancer. This could potentially be an epidemic because, as we know the United states has approximately 292 million wireless numbers in use, approaching one for every adult and child, according to the C.T.I.A. The C.T.I.A or The Wireless Association is the cellphone industry’s primary trade group. Although there has not been a general increase in brain cancer since cellphones arrived, studies show that there is an increase in brain cancer for people between the ages of 20 to 29 and a drop for the older generation. Some researchers have proven that radiation with the same frequency of cellphone does indeed cause brain damage in the DNA of rats. This research causes a big concern for Americans whose children are becoming cellphone dominate. The article states, radiation is proven to penetrate only two inches into the brain of adults and will reach much deeper into the brains of children because their skulls are thinner. So, it is up to us to find alternative ways to protect ourselves and our children. In conclusion, we recommend keeping a cellphone out of close proximity to the head or body...

Even before I move into my professional career everyone including myself will be using electronics. Electronics are used by everyone on a daily basis. Programming with python is a little more difficult than programming with scratch. They both differ in the way the code is written. Python can be easy to pick up whether you're a first time programmer or you're experienced with other language. So whether you’re a beginner or expert python can be used by anyone regardless of experience in coding languages. Python you physically have to write the code out to make it work. The python coding language can be used for quite a bit such as web and internet development, database access, desktop GUIs, scientific and numeric, education, network programming and software and game development. With Scratch you can program your own interactive stories, games, and animations. Scratch helps young people learn to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively. Unlike python scratch uses a drag and drop coding system. All the pieces in scratch fit together like a puzzle. In python you must physically write out the code and if one little part is wrong nothing will work at all. One thing you can do with both scratch and python is to create a game such as pong or classic breakout....

...Tanya Meza English 091 Professor Archila February 24, 2014 Cell Phones Before internet was born, we had to research information in encyclopedias, libraries, or book stores. We communicated with people on landlines. Today, we have the internet conveniently located in our homes and cell phones. Advanced technology allows us to research an abundance of information all around the world. Dozens of websites and chat sites are everywhere ranging from educational, social, shopping, and gaming sites. Cellphones have evolved into smartphones and are no longer a luxury but a necessity because technology has become interlaced in our everyday lives. Technology causes schools technical hitches to keep up with the quick movement of change. One of the technical hitches that education leaders have to face is cell phone usage in classrooms. We want to believe that all students would act responsibly with cell phone usage in classrooms. In many cases, many students abuse policies. Cell phones in class should not be allowed because students can use them from cheating, disruptions, and cyber bullying. High school students may feel more tempted to cheat because they probably failed to study, have emotional/hormonal issues, or have involved themselves with the wrong crowds. High school is a very crucial time for humans because it is a transition in life from child hood to adult hood. These evolving students have parents at home that...

... In the case of Riley v California the defendant and petitioner David Leon Riley was arrested August 22, 2009, after a traffic stop which resulted in the finding of loaded guns in car. The officer stopped riley searched him and took hold of his phone and then searched through messages, contacts, and photos. The officer charged Riley with an unrelated shooting that had taken place before his arrest based on the data stored in Riley's phone. The data found in Riley phone were images of gang’s signs and believed to be in a part of a gang. Riley went to try to suppress all evidence the officer had got from searching his phone on the grounds that the search had violated his fourth amendment rights. However the trial court denied his argument and stated the incident was legitimate to arrest, Riley was convicted. In the case Riley v California the court made the decision that the police must have a warrant in order to search cell phones, even in a case of arrest. If any data that is not in the warrant is obtained an officer must get rid of it. To obtain a warrant there must need to be an emergency or demanding circumstance. The court emphasized that the fact that cellphones now allows an individual to carry so much information in their hands does not makes it less valuable and still needs protection. This decision is now added to the fourth amendment and covers cellphone rights. In the case of Riley v California 9-0 judges voted for the decision in which police must get a warrant...

...time a company announces a release of their latest device. Cellphones alone developed tremendously and increased in usage this past decade. These new cellphones are opening a door to communication like never before. According to the Nielsen 2010 Media Industry Fact Sheet there are over 223 million U.S. mobile phone users over the age of 13. More than 26% of households in the U.S. have only a wireless phone (Snider, 2011). As consumers continue to move to wireless, states are passing, or considering, laws to end the requirement that phone companies provide everyone landline service (Sylvain, 2012). The enormous increase in wire-less technology is pushing landline phones into obsolesce. According to Gebeloff (2011), nearly 40 percent of all adults living in poverty use only cellphones, compared with about 21 percent of adults with higher incomes who use both cellphones and landlines. Cellphones have become more affordable, thus households in poverty, instead of having only landlines, switched to having cellphones only. Also, forty-seven percent of house renters were wireless-only, compared with 15 percent of owners. Another factor is age. The older generation has a higher need for landlines, while the younger generation got so used to cellphones that when they move out of their parent’s house, they see no need to get a landline of their own. The younger generation of Americans is growing up in a society where cellphones, laptops, and Wi-Fi are as abundant as bread and water. This...

...Effects of Cellphone Use While Driving The reason I oppose the use of cell phone during driving is because I was once engaged in a cellphone use while driving that totally distracted me as it diverted my concentration off the road. This happened to me years ago, while I was driving home from work, I made a quick phone call to my mother and at the same instant the car swerved onto the side of the street and almost hit a pedestrian crossing the road. I realized that the risk of taking my eyes off the road for a split second could cause an injury and even fatal accident. It will show the audience why this issue matters to me, and why it should to them. Using a cell phone while driving is dangerous and increases the chance of getting into a car accident. Therefore, texting ban should be implemented to reduce the number of accidents on the road. Cellular phones serve as useful convenient methods of communication. It has become an important communication tool that is used by people all over the world to keep everyone connected. However, the increase use of cellphone while driving is becoming a significant cause of automobile accidents because it decreases a driver’s awareness and attentiveness resulting in driver’s being distracted and impaired driving abilities. It is true that cell phones can also be very useful, but when automobile drivers use them while driving, it becomes a very high distractor because it distracts the driver, impairs the ability to control the vehicle and...

...The Dependence of People on Smartphones. The excessive use of smartphones has not only changed the way we see technology but also the way we live our lives. In the year 2000, the first touch screen phone was introduced and people who loved technology were amazed by this cellphone technology that did not required a physical keypad to work or access the cellphone main menu, although not that many special features were added to this cellphone besides the digital touch screen tech lovers fell in love with this device almost instantly because of the futuristic idea of replacing buttons with a digital touchscreen. Even though this cellphone was a pioneer in a new era revolutionizing the idea of a physical keypad to enter numbers did not become so popular after people got bored from just the digital screen and that did not do anything else but to dial numbers to make a phone call. In the year 2007 a new cellphone was introduced, a cellphone that not only looked very elegant and extremely different than any other cellphone at the moment or made before, but was able to perform tasks those of a desktop computer, for example; internet web browsing, agenda managing, picture taking and video making at very good quality, email access, music playing, electronic book access, just to mention a few. It seemed maybe almost impossible that so much could be done with such a small device. This was the world’s first smartphone; a new trend that would make our lives much easier had begun, making...

Instead of introducing a smartphone with thousands of applications, Nokia focused on the basic functions of cellphone and sold with cheaper price from $30. Furthermore, Nokia also makes it a point to involve the local consumers with offerings that appeal specifically to them. Nokia has done this by adding a music store (Nokia Music Store) on the cell phones. Nokia adds music to this store from around the world, as well as and most importantly artists from that local area. 2. What can Nokia do to gain market share in the United States and Europe where its presence is not as strong? Facing to two strongest and biggest competitors as Apple and Samsung, Nokia has been losing their market share and loyal customers. There was an outstanding event that happened in just one month ago, Microsoft bought the cellphone department of Nokia. It meant people would never see Nokia as the Final brand name as before.
