86% des étudiants s’échangent des messages textes, comparativement à 48% qui préfèrent engager une conversation téléphonique à partir de leur téléphone mobile, selon une étude de Newad sur les habitudes communicationnelles des étudiants. lire la suite
Depuis la sortie des médias sociaux, des « chat » et du fameux web 2.0 et maintenant 3.0, la population mondiale reproche à ces plateformes d’isoler les individus qui maintenant communique derrière un clavier, fini le vrai social, de rencontre humaine, tout se fait à distance et froidement dans la chaleur de leur foyer. Le monde est rendu statique, ne bouge plus. Tout se fait du bout des doigts. Et pourtant !?
Le monde change, s’informe, diffuse et se mobilise. Qui aurait prédit que grâce à ces plateformes, les « simples » citoyens peuvent maintenant combattre les inégalités. Prenons l’exemple de l’immatricule 728. Grâce au mobile, la vérité est dévoilée et diffusé partout. Ils ne peuvent plus se cacher derrière l’état, maintenant c’est d’égal à égal avec le simple « citoyen ». Sinon, cette situation n’aurait abouti nulle part et l’état aurait gagné, ils ne peuvent plus dire c’est ta parole contre la mienne, et ma parole est plus pesante que la tienne, non, j’ai maintenant des preuves vidéos, photos et sonores.
Prenons la révolution dans les pays de l’occident, qui sont dirigé de main de fer depuis des décennies par des tyrans qui contrôlait toute l’information. Maintenant on sait, maintenant nous avons une arme pacifique qui est le mobile, les médias sociaux. Le monde voit, comprend et réalise ce qui se passe. Fini la propagande médiatique, le peuple parle, se mobilise. Nous pouvons maintenant comprendre et réalisé à quel point tout est contrôlé dans les médias traditionnels. Nous avons maintenant notre journal, notre chaîne 24/7 qui diffuse ce qui se cachait derrière la bêtise humaine.
Grâce aux technologies mobiles, un vent de changement souffle. Grâce aux technologies mobiles le monde se rassemble, s’entraide. Nous savons, nous réalisons, le vent souffle. Grâce à elle, le monde s’active, nous devenons tous égaux. Les technologies sont en train de changer le monde et de le rendre plus humain. Oui le mobile mobilise, et ce n’est que le début. Nous avons maintenant une arme qui est pacifique, mais qui est aussi viral.

From car accidents to weather related incidents the more you look around you the more you realise that at any moment you could find yourself in a very difficult if not life threatening situation. And this is where a little preparation and a good charge on your Smartphone can make all the difference. Your Smartphone can become your best survival tool .There are several very good survival apps and information apps available that cover everything from first aid, what to do in an emergency, alert you to events in your area and a whole host of how to reading information for every level of interest. Information is the key to surviving just about anything. Panic is the biggest problem when you are in an emergency situation. Having the knowledge to make the right decision will make sure you keep calm and do the right thing to come out of a dangerous situation.
Everyone has their own comfort level and experience level so there is no one perfect solution to fit all needs. Look at the choices and review your own knowledge to come up with a set of information and apps that will work best for you. Also just downloading them and leaving them there for when you might need them is not enough. Go through the app or the information provided and check that you have any items they suggest and that you review and medical procedures you feel you might need. In the middle of a power outage with young children around you is not the time to learn how to do CPR.
Finally please apply common sense. If you know that you are responsible for small children or a person afflicted with a medical condition no app or book will ever be enough. Hands on training is always the best so taking a Red Cross safety class or a certified course in survival training will always trump a Smartphone.
Below are a series of links to apps and products that you can load up and use. This is just a small sampling of the many apps and information e-books on the subject. Find one that works for you and use it. You will never know when you might need it.
I wish for everyone that no one ever needs to use them but unfortunately it’s not a perfect world so be prepared and be safe.

Some of us still remember the video wars of the late 1970s and 1980s when video cassette recorders became available in either Sony’s Betamax format or JVC’s VHS format. While Sony’s Beta was higher quality, JVC allowed other consumer electronic companies to license the technology, thereby ensuring widespread availability. Beta sales dwindled while VHS emerged as the winner… Read more
