Cell Phones, VOIP and Broadband

    If you’ve been to the movies lately you’ve probably heard someones cell phone ringing. Maybe they just forgot to turn off the ringer or maybe they are expecting an important call and just don’t care about or respect others. With cell phones so widely used now it seems to be a common problem. I urge theater owners to post signs in the lobby as a reminder to those carrying cell phones to please turn them off.

    I’ve been distracted by moviegoers that insist on sending text messages while the movie is in progress. “Texting” is not as distracting as a cell phone ringing, but it should be avoided as a general policy. It really comes down to respect for others. When you are in a room with others close at hand one should have consideration. Movies are meant to take the moviegoer into the movie as if to be a part of the movie. Even the smallest distraction can affect the “feel” that the movie makers have set out to achieve.

    If you are involved in business and you just can’t seem to get away from your cell phone long enough to watch a movie then maybe you should wait until the DVD release and give it a private viewing.

    If we turn back the clock about 20 years we would see very few, if any, cell phones in use. They were too large to fit in a pocket, signal coverage was sparse and the battery only lasted a couple of hours. Prior to that a few car phones did exist but an operator using a land line had to connect each call. Most people used landlines exclusively and we got along just fine.

Cell phones have made our lives so much more simple in so many ways. One of the latest ways to use your cell phone is for making donations to your favorite charity. With the recent earthquake in Haiti there is a need for relief money to help the survivors.

    The American Red Cross has set up a system for a $10 donation. The $10 goes directly to The American Red Cross and is billed to your cell phone. The process is so simple even a caveman can do it.

• Text the word “Haiti” without the quotes to 90999.
• You will get a reply asking to verify the $10 donation.
• Reply “yes” without the quotes.
• You will be billed $10 to your cell phone

    I have had first hand experience as a volunteer for The American Red Cross. They can provide shelter, meals, and more for survivors of catastrophic events. There are other disaster relief organizations that also help, but after a major catastrophy there is also the possibility of scams. One should be very careful when making any donation. Always check to make sure your money is going where you intend.

    If you don’t have a cell phone and you are considering the possibility of obtaining one, you can click here to go to comcaller.com for easy shopping from your computer. You will find a selection of options to choose from. If you need help you may call me at 805-876-3142.

Edgar Cayce foresaw the rise of major technological industries

Closely related to his ability to read science well in advance of its practitioners, Cayce astutely predicted the broad stream of the technological future. He was able to fully describe the major technology industries which would drive the development of the American economy after World War II. Consistently, 10 to 30 years in advance of the economy, while ideas were still in their novelty stage, Cayce advised his clients to focus on all aspects of radio, telegraphy, telephones, communications and electronics industries which were associated with war products, deluxe fine furniture cabinetry for electronic products, composite woods and molded materials, and plastic resins. A man named David Kahn made millions of dollars with this information.

Foresaw the rise of the aviation and radio industries 

In May 1930, despite the deepening depression, Cayce predicted the industries which would become the next U.S. focus of industrial activity: those of the aerial nature; that is, radio and its associations; aerial and its associations. At the time, both the radio and aviation industries were still widely regarded as commercially unproven toys.

Foresaw the rise of new communications technologies 

Cayce foresaw that exceptional changes and improvements would come in the communications and broadcasting industries: he pointed years in advance to the coming of TV, fax, telex, expanded stock ticker-tape services, and microwave transmission on land to replace copper wire.

Foresaw the union of the radio and telegraph industry 

Cayce foresaw the rapid integration and expansion of the communication industry which would be driven by the new technology. In October 1935 he predicted that by ‘39 should be a fact - that is, the united activity of Radio and the Telegraph lines. By the end of the 1930’s the ITU had created the technical standards which allowed all forms of communication to inter-operate. In November 1942 he added:

“Thus, all communications are a part of this activity. This means not only radio and telegraph (for these must be eventually one) … but more and more the air as the greater means of communications. With more and more satellite communication facilities coming on line, even in the 1990’s, it is more and more the air.”
