3 "Big Darn Deals"

Chapter 7--The 3 "Big Darn Deals" I found interesting in this chapter are the following:

Contact Lenses Monitor Glaucoma--I work with the elderly and this article was very encouraging to read. Glaucoma can cause blindness if the optic nerve is damaged. The article is about a special contact lens that has silver wires inside the lens. The wires will release a medicine when the wires measure a dangerous level of pressure within the eye. Lasers are also expected to help detect glaucoma.

Education--I can personally relate to using the computer for education. Our local school district installed the Infinite website, this past fall. I am able to keep track of my children's grades, assignments, lunch accounts, and see any school announcements. I have also benefited personally with the use of computers for my own educational purposes. I was able to attend college classes the past two years without having to sit in a classroom. In December 2009, I completed the Medical Coding and Insurance program. I would never have been able to do this without having the opportunity of being able to take online classes. I am so grateful to have had this opportunity.

How to Purchase a Smart Phone--I am currently thinking about purchasing a smart phone. There are so many things to consider, before making a decision. This article brought up seven suggestions to remember before making my final decision. I have already checked into different cell phone carriers and the variety of styles available. One of the things I didn't think of was making sure I purchase a phone that can synchronize my smart phone to my computer program. I also never put much thought into making sure the phone I select has a long battery life. According to this article, using the Internet and talking on the smart phone drains the battery life, at a rapid rate.
