Skydivers survive New Zealand plane crash after parachuting to safety
This article speaks about how these skydivers in New Zealand survived a plane crash. There were 13 of them, but they had some injuries however they did survive. It is not said to why how the plane crash had happened. Someone who was near the scene went on to say “I saw all these people coming down, and I thought that was a crazy place to be coming down, that they would all end up in the lake,” as no one saw how everything actually happened but they did see that they ended up in the lake but they did survive.

Teenage boy killed in east London street attack
This article speaks about how a teenage boy was killed in East London and no one noticed till after this had happened. He had many injuries and was later found dead. My problem with this article is that it is not spoken about much as someone has died and it has not come to media knowledge, they have not stated whether he was a black youth or a white youth, this may add the story and why it has not been spoken of much.

Ched Evans announcement
This article speaks about how a decision on whether Ched Evans a footballer who was convicted of rape will be signed by football club Oldham athletic. Despite Evans' camp being optimistic in him getting signed there is a petition of 62,000 signed that saying they do not want him to be signed as well as the prime minister stating that he believes footballers are role models and Evans has not acted like one.
I believe what Evans had done is completely wrong and I also agree with David Cameron in that footballers should be role models, however if Oldham want to sign him they are entitled to do so as he as now been released from prison, however they may require a lot of criticism with doing so.

Globalisation
1) This article speaks about what google glass is all about. It speaks about the benefits and drawbacks of the google glass with theories backing the point up.
2) One of the positives of the google glass is that it allows for people who are not in living in the city to connect with the rest of the world. What is also stated is that it is easily accessible and gives the chance for people to be empowered as well as giving out information.
3) The main negative within google glass is ownership. What is spoken about is how certain companies may not be able to compete resulting in a monopoly being introduced, showing that a small number of companies cater for large audiences, linking into marxism showing that the elite what to stay at the top and everything is within a class with the major companies being at the top
4) Moral panic - an instance of public anxiety or alarm in response to a problem regarded as threatening the moral standards of society.
techno panic - A moral panic based around the fear of new technology.
5) One of the concerns are that people can record others without their concent, this would relate to them not being able to trust others. Also it may mean that people would see each other less in person and links in with alone together in that people will feel like they are together but are not and are really alone.
6) I believe that google glass is a good idea as it links in with globalisation as well as the global village, linking people together all across the world. As well as this google glass is an idea that as never been done before and is a fresh new innovative idea, however I believe they need to sort out the privacy fears for it to become a successful product in the long term

Playstation hacked
This article speaks about how Sony have apologised for blocking online mode on Playstation consoles on christmas eve and christmas day, as a result of this new buyers of playstation consoles could not connect to their online games and also with existing users of the playstation could not neither. Sony then gave offers out to customers as a way of saying sorry such as extended free membership trial of 5 days.
I believe what Sony did was wrong especially due to it being at christmas time where many sony consoles were going to be bought. I also do not believe the offers Sony gave out were substantial as there was not really a valid reason to why they the online servers stopped working.

Personal details of all MoonPig customers exposed by security bug
This article speaks about how Moonpigs app got hacked into and that 3 million of their users accounts got found out. As a result of this moonpig had to take down their app as their software was vulnerable. In my opinion I believe what has happened is a disgrace as moonpig are a really big company and for their accounts of 3 million users to get found out shows something is wrong. It goes against data protection and that they have broken a law and they can not really be trusted any more.
