Traffic Signals

Can updating traffic signals increase the mpg you get in your car? BWM is saying yes. With coming to a stop each time at a red light and then starting again uses alot of gas which is why BMW has been pushing officials to update traffic signals so they are more friendly and traffic is moved better. With this car companies have been finding solutions as well by finding a way for your vehicle to not comsume so much gas while not moving. BMW has done this with there BWM 530d test vehicle with a a fual efficiency of usually 22 mpg to 42 mpg. With this simple change it could reduce the amount of fuel used each year and I think would help everything and everyone out as well.

Kids on Social Networks

These past few years social networks for teenagers have been big and highly adevertised by the media and those whom you may associate with. As older kids get into this their younger siblings or peers may see them using this and think "hey this is cool I want one." and in a cnn article the disgust this very good. They gave several examples of children having social network accounts and what their parents thought of it. I personally think it alright for young kids to have them as long as their parents monitor what they are doing on them and to make sure they dont spend too much time on it and make it an addiction. My younger brother who is twelve has a facebook and my mom made it with so he could feel like he is in the loop and he doesn't ever really get on it so i guess it all depends on what the situation is.
