How can we all come together to create a better environment for everyone?
By tweeting of course!
I found it interesting how people have come together and united under one cause. In the article 6 Ways Brands are Using Social Media For Real-World Action by Daniel Stein and How Mega Charity Events Harness The Power of Social Media by Geoff Livingston, it is noted that more and more brands are using their influence to help people.
Stein writes about how by having a tweet and ending it with #beatcancer, a penny would be donated towards beating cancer. The tag was used over 681,000 times which raised significant amount of money through social networking.
I think its something that charities can really tap into to make more money so as social networking develops, so can the amount of resources towards charities can be utilized.

iFound You With My iPhone
"Hey, where are you?"
"Just check your phone, I'm the blue dot."
With phones that are equipped with GPS, you will never have to call someone to find out where they are. Instead just check an application on your phone and you will see a contact in your phone.
Whether someone is driving in a car or using the bathroom, it is easier to find someone than ever before.
In the articles "Rise and Rise of the GPS Mobile" by Marc Ceislak and "Students' new best friend: 'MoSoSo'" by Gloria Goodale they cite that there is a huge rise in the use of phone GPS.
I think GPS is a great innovation to be incorporated to phones. I personally have an iPhone and the use of GPS has saved me countless times after getting lost while driving.
As more phone carriers incorporate GPS I believe there can be a lot of positive outcomes. If people are able to find each other easier it can open up new lines of communication. If someone goes missing they can be found easier as GPS will find their phone.
Socially it can connect people together as they can meet up at locations that can be pinpointed.
I think GPS is great to have on a phone as it is difficult to carry a computer or laptop with you at times. Having it on a phone is convienent as it is small enough to fit in a pocket. Since a phone can do so much it only makes sense to have GPS be included.
