Cell Phone Blockers

We our making and thinking of new technology every day and one of our newest things is a cell phone blocker. This allows you to be cut off in the middle of a conversation. This is a good and bad thing. Even though they are illegal in the United States of America, they are going to find there way here. I believe they are bad because they can interrupt you when you are on important call, for example if someone you now is sick or in a serious accident and you are trying to get information on them, it can interrupt you and you can miss very important information. But on the other hand it could be a good thing, for example if you are being annoyed, when you are somewhere you can instantly shut the person conversation off, and get back to being peaceful.

During class we have learned about the Flip Flop method and the block method. After reading several article I believe that you can use both effectively, but I like the flip flop method the best. Using the flip flop method method you can give the reader information about both of them in a sequence of every other one which kinds helps the reader remember about the previous method. I also think the block method can be used effectively but it is a bit more difficult to remember what you read, because you may be reading about one topic for 3 or 4 paragraphs and then switch to another topic for another 3 or 4 paragraph's. I feel that it is harder to remember what you read that way.
