Free CellPhones for Everybody
Yep, there are people and companies who are indeed willing to give away free cell phones, but there’s a catch. They are technically free for you don’t pay for the unit, you pay for the service. Got ya! This has long been practiced by service providers for sometime due to the many providers vying for the same market. As if they weren’t expanding even in this recession for mobile phones have become more a necessity than a luxury comparable to cars a few decades back.
Mobile phones come in all shapes, sizes and capabilities and one of the top selling brands, Nokia, has managed to keep a majority of phone unit sales due to their expansive models that caters to people from all walks of life. From basic budget phones that have digital cameras to more luxurious designer brand sponsored models, they have it all. Other mobile manufacturers have been following suit in that regard and have also been met with success partially due to the need for more and more new phones. For every unit bought, there are thousands being disposed of(hopefully recycled or donated to charities) creating a never ending cycle from the manufacturer to the consumer to the recycling bin.
Many fail to realize the amount of computing power these modern smart phones pack, with all the included functions, come circuitry and software that all comes in the small box. Like a Swiss Army Knife, you get an MP3 Player, Digital still/video camera, Web browser, SMS and of course the ability to make phone calls to anywhere on earth(just about).
Oh Yes, She’s Geeky
I don’t know where it started but it seems that engineering, technology, and general geekiness seem to be mainly associated with the male population. We do know, however, that this misconception is nothing but just that – a misconception. And this misconception is something that a LOT of women in the industry are trying to get rid off.
If you have not heard of them before, She’s Geeky events are aimed at providing a venue for any woman who is interested in technology. Founded by Mary Hodder and Kaliya Hamlin, the organization has set up numerous conferences, the latest of which was held in Mountain View in Northern California. AFP has a write up on the latest She’s Geeky gathering:
The two-day conference in January was the first of an array of similar gatherings planned for US cities including with a goal of building bridges between women techies.
“She’s Geeky” was attended by more than 150 women, many from companies such as Apple, Hewett Packard, Yahoo!, Google, Orange Labs, and McAfee.
“We’re tired of trying to figure out this magical formula that will get us moving up. This is a way to do it on your own terms and not rely on the current institution to help you pave your way.” Conference workshops focused on topics ranging from videogame design and software coding to the art of beekeeping.
“It’s awesome that through the power of technology … geeks are seen as being cool and coming together as super foxy geek chicks,’ said Classes for Causes vice president of operations Alicia Washkevich.
Indeed, geeks are now seen as cool – we all know that, right? And even better, women who are geeky are seen as sexy!
