The Twilight Saga!


So who has not heard of the twilight saga? If not, where have you been living? So many people say it's the new Harry Potter. In my opinion i think this is so true! I myself have read each of the four books. I like reading but I rarely finish a book because it can get boring or when I put it down by the time I pick it back up I forget what it was all about so just give up. However with Stephenie Meyer's books I think they were just so gripping. They create a perfect picture in your head of the story she tells and you really feel you can relate to it. The general outline of the books is a complicated love story. It is about a normal American girl who falls in love with a vampire and because of this it puts extreme pressure on their relationship. Her best friend is also a werewolf. I know it sounds a bit insane but I never wanted to put it down! I will even go as far as saying I was pretty pathetic because I use to stay in willingly at the weekends to read the books instead of going out (ofcourse I never told anyone this!!).
The whole excitement that surrounded the new film "New Moon" coming out was unreal. People were buying tickets two weeks in advance and going to see it at 12:01 AM the day of the release. It was crazy! I think however it is completely a girl thing, I cant say I know any boys who have read or will read the books even after I tried some persuasive tactics! Maybe after taking a look at the trailer it might change some peoples minds....

Mobile Commerce

Who would have thought that mobile commerce would be such a crucial part of our life's in todays world. No matter where you look everyone has a mobile phone and it is used for so many purposes such as surfing the Internet, performing bank transactions, informational services (for example if a message is left on your bebo or facebook account the client gets an instant message informing them of the change) I remember when I got my first mobile phone I didn't use much except for sending text messages or making the odd phone call whereas now I am more prone to taking pictures on my phone and I occasionally log on to the Internet unlike before. As more phones are being developed they are now introducing new and exciting accessories to go with them. I think if you even compare the most recent new apple phone which is the IPhone with the traditional phones that were available five years ago there is such a big improvement. Initially my first mobile didn't even have a camera or the Internet but now when you go to purchase a phone you will see if there is bluetooth, infrared and whether or not it is a 3G phone or not. Mobile phones really did integrate into modern day society and now people wonder how did they ever live without them.
