The story from the fourth image collating the previous three images

Everybody these days has a mobile phone, I mean everybody!!! The .COM era is slowly catching on to every single person on this planet. What did we do the days before we had mobile phones? It's hard to remember. Everyone who has an old phone that still works should send them to this organisation. Getting the developing world connected to the best networks, such as O2, Virgin, etc. Spare your old phone, connect with the world.

This story I took from the Architect student, age 24

The text I thought would be most appropriate for this image is: Connect the world. Or something to that effect.

Society today. We judge people within the first thirty seconds of looking at them. We see a group of youths, we expect trouble. Labeling young people, ASBOS, hood-rats, hoodlums, junkies. Soon they will become the label they are given. What do you expect? Society is flawed.

"I would forget my head if t wasn't screwed on" Probably the most over used saying. But why? Is todays society getting more forgetful or are we trying to fit too much into our lives? Do we take too much on so that we can't live life the way we want? We become sloppy, we forget things and we no longer appreciate what we have. We only live once. Therefore, we should slow down, take a look around us and realise what we have before it's too late. Let the people we care about it know it and be grateful we will never loose or forget our heads!

Babies. Britain has a massive teenage pregnancy rate, we also live in a world where celebrities are adopting babies from countries all over the world every other week. Is this right? Of course not, but we see all of these starving children and their parents or lack of sprawled all over the news and we feel horrible. Yet when I celebrity adopts a child from the developing world, they are WRONG in the publics eyes, mearly for saving a life.

Today we skated to the apple store to check out the new iphone out today. I'd heard so much about it on the TV and was told "It's the next big thing". All I can say is "Holy crap" that thing is the muts nuts. I have to get one! All the boys thought it was cool and we can listen to our tunes, surfing the concrete. It saves us carrying an ipod and mobile in our super tight skinny jeans. Plus, MULLETS ARE BACK IN BABYEE!!!

The next big must see attraction, the headless man! Located in sleepy downtown Texas, Dave, the headless man can be seen walking about bumping into objects and generally doing silly things! It is believed that Dave was born this way but still lives a normal active life. Dave thrives on meeting new people and makes a living like many other street performers doing shows and entertaining. Come see Dave, the headless man!!
