Newspaper Log- Monday May 3rd

In today's paper I found a few articles that were interesting to me. The first was about women addicted to pornography. In Kansas, there is a church that counsels women who are addicted. What seems crazy to me is that their youngest member is a 17 year old. I can't imagine being addicted to porn ever, let alone at 17. Some women looked at porn at school, or even at the library. I sometimes forget that women can be addicted to porn too since it's usually only men you hear about who are addicted.
The last two articles I read were part of the "Bits" of the Business section. The first article was about how one day, we are going to be able to pay for things with our cellphones! Seems crazy to me. The article specifically says "bumping two phones together or swiping a credit card on a mobile device" can be the new technology. The article also states that people can already exchange money via text message, which I didn't even know about! This was a great article to read, with really good first hand examples.
The second "Bits" article I read was called, "Buying Serena's Handbag" which immediately caught my attention because of the "handbag" part. The article is about a website where viewers of popular fashion shows or reality tv can go to find out what the people on camera wore that episode. Now though, the mother of this website is going to be selling the clothing that is seen on tv. I love how fashion is now a big deal online because I love fashion anywhere!
