Today I read an interesting story that said digital cameras will be a thing of the past. Can you guess why? Because everyone is using their iPhones and cell phones, and they have cameras. Why carry a camera and a phone when you don’t have to? Another reason is that there are all kinds of applications on iPhones. You can make your photos look like a professional took them without much work. A third reason is that it is easier to share photos from an iPhone. The news story said that SLR cameras probably won’t disappear, though, because there are always people who want really high quality photos. Do you agree?　(by Prof. Carmella Lieske)

Richard Branson is a name that many people may have heard of. He one of the UK’s wealthiest men, ranked 9th on the Sunday Times Rich List. According to Forbes magazine he is ranked 212th in the world. Not quite Bill Gates but rich, very rich. He owns businesses including Virgin Records, Virgin Atlantic Airways and Virgin Trains as well as several Caribbean islands. But what is interesting is that he is extremely adventurous, crossing the Atlantic Ocean in air-balloons and sailing boats for charity. His latest charity event includes dressing up in a red stewardess uniform in one of his Virgin Atlantic flights. If you want to meet him then, there will be an on-line auction where seats will be sold to the highest bidder. (by Prof. Simon Smith)
