The article reports that New Jersey Governor Jon S. Corzine signed a bill recently that will make it illegal for motorists to send text messages via a handheld cell phone while driving. New Jersey joins three other states and the District of Columbia in enacting such legislation. The move will give police officers the authority to ticket any motorists they observe chatting or texting on a handheld device. The fine for texting while driving is $100.

Well, I agree with this article a little bit. There are some advantages and disadvantages when texting and driving or talking on the cell phone and driving. For example: What if you had to take an important phone call that has to do with something serious like a death in your family or something like that. Would they still fine you for that?
On the other hand, I can understand where they are coming from because you can get distracted easy from texting and talking. You might get so caught in the conversation or typing the text message. But I think sooner or later all states will have this bill passed.

Do you think it is fair?

The article I picked for this project has to do with internet on global affairs. Attention is given to the relationship between the U.S. and China.

China has the most important technology and without them we'd be in trouble cause the U.S. learns more from them than anybody that we're friends with.

According to the Times (the United Kingdom) illegal music downloading is not a problem in just the United States; it has become a world wide problem with the music industry losing billions. People have easy access to music, movies, and other forms of entertainment without ever leaving their house. The internet has linked millions to websites that allow the user to download music and movies illegally.

I think that if websites required you to join and pay so much to be a member and use their website, we would have less of a problem. Instead, most websites are free use. You don't need to join or pay anything to use their resources. Illegal downloaders know what they are doing and they know it is wrong, but without the fear of getting caught and the easy access to the music and movies, illegal downloaders will keep doing what they do!!
