Mobile Comuting

Just like the internet, the use of mobile comuting is increasing. Take for example the mobile phone, i don't think i know of anyone who doesn't own one. Even my Nana has one! It's evident that to co exist in this world today we must rely on the uses of technology.

Myself and my classmates were at a competition a few weeks ago, staying at the Connemara Coast and I thought it was very cool that i was still waiting for out taxi home, on my phone checking my college emails.

I work in Donegans bar and restaurant in Monasterboice which has been around for the last 80 years, some of the staff are still there since it opened. As old and ancient as the place looks you cannot fault the advances of technolgy. We all posses our own 'fobs' and 'buzzers'. The fob allows us into certain parts of the building only, therefore preventing intruders and buzzers are attached to your trousers and vibrate when the customers meal is ready. Customers are also giving vibrating disks so when we have a table ready it lights up and again, vibates to let them know! Its the crazy little gadgets that make waitresses lives so much easier, you wonder whatyou ever did without them.

Search engine optimisation

As we know, more and more people are spending time on the internet, at home the computer is never turned off. We all love and worship the powers that be on the 'net' i.e Whenever we have a query, thought or reseach we put our preference into the oogle toolbar and needless to say we are sorted. I know from my experience whenever i 'google' a sentence or a phrase i NEVER go past the first two pages unless i'm really stuck. More times than not however i never need to go further than the first search page, everything i need is right in front of me. Therefore, it got me thinking about my own blog and name, yes i 'googled' and after searching for me after the 10th page i gave up. It took alot of phrases in the search to find myself. Therefore you can understand, as Mr Colin Cooney explained the importance of "Clarity, Conciseness, Completeness and Correctness"

There are MANY chicas out there with the same name as me, i have to provide something unique, well structured and present it extremely well if i want to be top of that list.

(P.S don't you feel excited when you see so many other people with the same name as you achieving great things.... go on admit it, you know you want to!)

Magazine Madness

I was quickly scanning my weekly trashy, worthless magazine the other day in Easons. There all so hypocritical with one magazine showing off some z-list celebrity who’s lost weight, fabulous and looking for the new man in her life while the other controversial magazine has the same z-list ‘celeb’ sprawled across the cover with the title "weight gain, in despair and a born again virgin"!
What is quite humorous is that we, woman read them religiously but what for?
It drives me crazy seeing that no good Kerry Katona every week for one reason or another even though she’s no more a celebrity that my left foot. She was some little jumped up school girl playing in a one hit wonder girl band.
So why do I read them? The reason being I’m a complete sucker for that kind of material, I take pleasure I admit in the pain and misery in all those big shots that have the money and looks and yet find rehab somewhat a past time at this stage.
I could go on forever but honestly at the end of that dark day you’ll not see me with my head buried in the Sunday Independent reading the trials and tribulations of Mr Bertie Ahern (poor man).
