News Article 3rd February 2016


I found this story truly amazing but also entertaining at the same time due to the sheer stupidity of someone but also the danger of the GPS System. Around October 2015 I read a story about a women who had been shot due to being navigated to the wrong place due to the Sat Nav.

Both these stories are on two different spectrums but they end up at the same conclusion that GPS systems are good but you still need to have a sense of where you are going without relying completely on the technology, try using a MAP!!!!

On from this story i had just watched a documentary on BBC about Breck Bednar a 14 year old boy who was groomed online by an 18 year old boy named Lewis Daynes, this story really touched me as the boy lived around the corner from me and it is personal as it angers me to the point of boiling due to me not understand how Lewis could have in his mind for months that this boy was going to die truly sickening. This story did show however how technology is deadly in some cases, even without you knowing it until it is too late. I do like using my phone and laptop but i think the younger generation are becoming reliant on there phone and are missing the world around them and it's awful to think our own species is going to be the thing that kills us truly sickening.

The only issue i have was they don't mention why the boy was at the quarry in the first place so something could have happened peer pressure anything ..

Grayson Perry : Who Are You?

Grayson Perry: Who Are You? Grayson Perry is an English Artist mainly known for his Ceramic Vases, however for this program you get to see all his ideas and skills come to life in a hard hitting and remarkable program. Using 4 subjects to tackle in a very psychological way that explores each of their personalities and appearances. What it means to you? This programme meant a lot to me because it really made me open up my eyes to the experiences many people go through and this really engaged me throughout the programme. The part i felt the most to me was the overall approach the program took, it made you listen and watch what people have done in their past,present and what they are to do in their future. It allowed you access to the certain people life’s and what they have done e.g. the english women that changed to islam as she felt it saved her from the past she had once had, and also the transgender girl who is now in the process to become a buy. This is all very raw m...
