On technology I vote for less cellphone software updates… it doesn’t serve much purpose anyway. Give us these software updates every six months and we’ll be fine. It’s not impacting positivity the phones storage or the camera capacity, which is what we all want anyway. I love technology, however I feel that the world is great as is. Who needs autonomous cars? Or self-flying planes… and why? Flying is terrifying for many people as is… Besides if you’ve been paying attention this artificial intelligent is proving not to work more than the opposite.

CNN recently wrote an article about The Kennedy’s “curse”. We are all familiar with the family’s sad history of accidents and tragedies. Of course I don’t believe in curses or anything of that sort. If that was the case then anyone could have the potential to intervene in other person’s life’s purpose and that is senseless.
