Cell Phone Credit Cards

In countries like Japan and China, consumers are more likely to have cell phones than credit cards. The case gives an example that only 5 percent of Japanese uses credit cards for their personal spending compared with 33 percent of Americans use credit cards. Furthermore, cell phone providers view this new technology as way of bringing attention to their network and creating a useful and convenient image for cell phone usage. MasterCard International and Nokia are testing this new product for the U.S. consumers. The product contains a chip with the user’s information and a transmitting circuit that allows consumers to have purchasing power in their communication device.

Writing Process

When it comes to writing a paper I have my routine to get me started. There are a common method that everyone uses where you first think about the required task, then read the assignment, followed by brainstorming and taking notes, after create an outline and then write your essay. After the rough draft is completed, reread the essay and make corrections.
My method is different because I don't create outline. I am use to reading the assignment and jumping into writing the paper. I like to think and write the paper because its keeps my mind thinking and always ready for new ideas to pop up in my head. For example, this blog entry was at the top of my head. I did not jot down notes or anything. I tend to write write write and if there is something I put down that was not relevant to the subject I proof read and make the changes.
After I complete my essay and go back and read everything, most of the time I would end up adding more and deleting a lot as well. But through my experience I should start doing it step by step from brainstorming to creating an outline.

Graduation

When I graduate from college I plan on working at a financial firm. However, it is hard for me to decide what I really want to do with my life. I am currently under accounting, but I am thinking about switching to finance because I feel that my interest in accounting will eventually decrease and I am going to end up hating my job.
