People of Wal-Mart?

The people of wal-mart is a terrible website. I feel this type of website is hurrendous. I can not put in words how much i hate these kind of websites. There is no person who could honestly look at this and think this is amusing. It is DISGUSTING. There is really no purpose to put picture of these kind of people up on the website. I think that widespread technology is making our society mean. It could be used positively but some people use it to mock other people. It is not the mocking of the people which bothers me. It is the part where people can look at this and find it funny, at the expense of someone is bad but it is even worse that our society has become so open about this. Behind the back talking is bad as well, I am not saying that is acceptable but openly posting it on a website in inexcusable. I think our global community could use this positively by sending people pictures of appropriate things. I think that camera phones could be used well by sending pictures to people who have been away from each other for awhile. It can be used to send pictures to show people where their friends are, for example, take a picture at a concert and send it to a friend and say wish you were here! That is how our society can use their phone cameras positively.

W3C has published about 110 different web standards. The web browsers which use these are Microsoft, Mac OS X and opera.
The World Wide Web is a very complex tool but it makes communicatyion so much easier. Most of the 20th century no one had easy quick communication like they do now a day. Once plans were made they had to stay made because you couldn't just call them on their cell phone and change the plans. Technology is a gift but at the same time it is a curse. It is beginning to take over the daily lifes of people which ultimately is making people very bad at face to face communication. Hopefully the interent will not take over the world some day!
