I think this movie is something that people need to see more of. Because this is something that the average consumer doesn´t think about when they are in the shops buying that cheap little radio och that nice pair of shoes. I personally may not be the one to tell people to think more of that. Because I love, maybe not buy stuff, but to travel. And airplane are just leaking out heaps of toxic. But people need to not just think, but act and do something about it. If people sees this more often around them, then I think that we will have a change in mind. Maybe not this year and maybe not next, but in time. You can already see things happening. Companies planting trees here and there for example. One person can´t do all but everyone can do something.

I have seen some documentry about sharks and because of many reasons, but one extreme, they are soon extinct. Over 90 % of the population are now gone. That because people wants shark fins in their soup. They believe that it makes them stronger and healthier and most of all it shows that you are wealthy. The problem is that when they take the fins of the shark they just dump the rest of it back into the ocean and let it sufficate to death. That is a real waste! And most of all, it´s a living thing you treat like that. Horrible. In the last couple of years things have started to change there as well. In many places around the world it´s prohibited to fish for sharks just for the fins. That´s one step. A small one, but a step.

I think that the invention called "Iphone" has it upsides and downsides in society. Now it`s easier to connect with people and stay connected as well. You can also find information much easier.  I`ve been using Iphone 4 for 2 years now and I can easily say that I`m addicted. Maybe not so much to the actual phone, but to all the apps that I can use through it. I check Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other stuff many many times every day, starting when I wake up and ending just before I go to sleep. Sometimes it feels like it´s only your own fantasy that stops you from what you can use it to.

But on the downside can I sometimes feel that I get less social when I`m actually hanging out with my friends. We often take up the phone when we´re watching a movie or something. Not because something has happened, but because that`s what we normally do. So I can relate to what Rosen are saying in the article, “The great thing about the iPhone is that we carry it with us all day long. The bad part is that we carry it with us all day long.”

All and all I believe that we have to accept the fact that we are living in a time where Iphone and other smartphones are something that are here to stay. In our private life and at work. It makes things a lot easier.
