In the
article “Photos Of Your Food? Check In on Foursquare? Not at This Restaurant”
written by Sophie Brown she writes about a restaurant owner who is discounting
meals at fifty percent to people who turn off their phones while dining at his
restaurant. Jawdat Ibrahim the
restaurant owner got tired of seeing people “glued” to their screens instead of
eating their food. He believes that this
idea will pay off in the long run.
This is
something that I see a lot at restaurants when I am out and about. But I must admit that even I am guilty of
this. It is even worse when I notice that I am doing that then put my phone
down and the people that I am with still continue to be glued to their phones
instead of engaging in a conversation. If a restaurant around me did the same
kind of deal I would definitely shut my phone off to eat. Fifty percent off who wouldn’t do that??

In the
article “Woman leaps from third deck of Oakland stadium after NFL game” written
by Simon Moya-Smith he writes about a women who decided to jump off the Oakland
stadium. The women went into an area
that was closed off to the public and decided to jump. According to Simon Moya-Smith people on the
second deck below her tried to persuade her to jump but she did not
listen. A man tried to catch her but he
was injured along with the women in doing so.
All you can
really ask is why she would try to jump from the stadium. Well why would you try to jump period. Bravo to the guy who tried to save her
though.
