Helpful, or Annoying I-Touch Apps?

Today in the world we live in, it seems like there is too much to worry about. According to my grandma, there never was any danger. But today? Well, we have to worry about criminals, people in cars running us over, allergies, and even disease. For criminals we have alarm systems, for cars we have traffic lights, for allergies we have the epi-pen, and for disease we have... the I-Phone? It may sound silly, but it may actually save a few lives down the line. From the I-Pod, to the I-Touch, to the I-Phone, to a doctor in your pocket, the Apple Corporation is just amazing. Now that the application for I-Phone and I-Touch, Outbreaks Near Me, was introduced, everyday people are able to know when the H1-N1 virus is near them.

Introduced by workers at the Children's Hospital Boston, Outbreaks Near Me is able to warn people of any kind of disease. Whether it be chicken pox, the measles, the mumps, anything doctor worthy, we will have access to over 30,000 databases that are aware of the health status of our country. It locates areas all over the world with disease outbreaks and pinpoints them on a google map. Not only does it let us know about already existing diseases, but with real time updating, it lets us know about new outbreaks the second a doctor sees it. Even if it's in China, people in the USA will know. The people in Mexico could have used this a little bit earlier.

Personally, I believe that EVERYBODY IS UNNECESSARILY OVER REACTING!!!!! So what H1N1 has infested the world? Anybody that maintains a healthy diet with a healthy immune system will be fine. Get protected and get the vaccine! But what are the consequences of that vaccine? Can a vaccine be created and spread to everyone in such little time? Has it been thoroughly been tested? In my opinion, if we all wash our hands or use hand sanitizer we will be fine. Has Grandma ever been wrong before? I know mine hasn't! And my grandma said that we have absolutely NOTHING to worry about. Now the only reasProxy-Connection: keep-alive

I looked at this article was because I myself have and I-Pod. And as I write this post, a person near me is sneezing his brains out. Does this mean my town is gonna be on my I-Pod? This H1N1 virus is made to be much more than it really is, and I think it's stupid. So for it to have it's own I-Touch app? What do YOU think about this? Are YOU worried? Cause I'm not.

So I got this free application on I-Tunes, and if your a health freak, it's perfect for you!
