Current event #6

It is said that the game Flappy Bird that everyone is addicted to is most likely to go back to app stores. This article also established that the reason they had taken this game off the market was because people had gotten to addicted to it and it was ruining relationships as well. Not only will the game Flappy Bird will be out on the market the creator will also be releasing new games. 
This event doesn't relate to any school activities, but during class when students have nothing to do they usually take their phones out and start playing this game or something similar to it. I believe it would be a good idea for them to release this game again because everyone enjoys playing it. It doesn't affect me much in any way I do play this every now and then but not as much as I use to.

The author used great grammar that helped the article sound more sophisticated. For example, when they said "The Vietnamese developer, who has stayed largely out of the spotlight, had also come under intense scrutiny...", because of the choice of words it helped give a better understanding and the word they used isn't used on an everyday bases. Therefore allowing the author sound like they do know what their subject has to be about.

current event #5

It is said that Boeing to sell phone that can self- destruct. This is very interesting because people don't actually believe that there is a phone that is capable of doing that. This phone doesn't really explode and show smoke it deletes all your information if someone tries to hack it. The company isn't releasing it yet it is expected to be released during the summer. Another fact that is said is that it won't be sold in a Verizon store or AT&T. This product isn't aimed for a consumer but for a costumer that wants to be geared and secured.
This can relate to our school because de are always using technology, de recently starter using chromebooks. We are allowed to carry our cell phones around and I feel that everyone would enjoy having a phone like this one that will protect all your personal data.
I think this new invention is amazing because I would be one of the persons to want one. I'm not sure on how it may affect me.
