iPhone Technology Patent: Why It Makes Me Feel Some Type Of Way

To all my iPhone enthusiasts and concerts lovers: there is something important that ya'll should know. It's MAJOR tea spilling.

So this Tuesday, the company Apple was granted a patent (Wikipedia defines this as, "a set of exclusive rights granted by a sovereign state to an inventor or assignee for a limited period of time in exchange for detailed public disclosure of an invention"). This patent will allow your precious iPhone to disable recording/photo taking functions mainly for concert venues. So possibly no more of dealing with this.

Which seems to be like life saver right?! While the sole purpose would be for concerts, I have a strange feeling that the government, SPECIFICALLY the police department will try to take advantage of this situation.

If Apple uses this patent, then people and companies would be able to use this in public spaces. Video recording/Snapchatting at concerts gets on my nerves but it is something that I live with because we all do it. Some are just way more excessive at it than others. The whole idea of an company having rights to a person's personal device doesn't sit well with me at all.

But BACK to my reason of how the police will try to work this in their favor (*major side eye*).

With police brutality being at an all time high, recording and taking pictures with our phones is what is helping the real truth come to surface despise what the police and the media tries to tell us. Many police departments in the U.S. are not trying to limit the use of recording/taking pictures in public. I wonder why?! Probably because this generation is not taking their mess anymore. Certain states are trying to limit this by giving regulations on how far you have to be from the police. I understand how a bystander shouldn't so close, due to safety personally, but don't try to shut up the people.


Clips and videos like these that show the world what some people see, would never surface if the police had a choice. This makes it more difficult for them to sweep their wrongfully choices under the rug and makes it easier for them to create a story to tell us to make us shut up. So I'm completely against this new iPhone patent, even if the only purpose is due to recording at concerts. If they use it towards concerts, they will wiggle their way to put limitations on iPhones for recording/taking pictures in public period, which I'm not having it. So if Apple decides to roll with this, I'll happily roll my behind over to Samsung.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
