Celery is a simple system that allows non-computer users to “be included” in email using the Celery device and service, which automatically prints incoming emails for them, and instantly sends their outgoing pen-and-paper messages as email.
I know that cell phone company’s have to keep a record of each cell phones text messages. Cops, parents, and anyone else can get ahold of these, without reason. I am wondering how long do they keep them/how far back. I’ve had the same number for the past 6 years, and looking to get important info from text messages from 2 years ago.
they keep it forever
Experts agree. Children three and over need to know their home phone number and how to dial 911 in case of an emergency. Now it’s fun and easy to learn both with the Teaching Telephone. Program in a phone number you want your child to learn and record a message. When the correct number is dialed, your child is rewarded with your message. Program and record over and over. Kids feel confident and parents feel reassured. Includes note holder (holds standard 2 in. x 3 in. notepaper). 3 AA batteries included.

Text messaging to students at Virginia Tech would have been a better way to notify students of the horrors happening on campus.
The horrors of what happened in Blacksburg, Virginia on April 16 are now starting to come forward with chilling details. A great university is in mourning and a very safe city is starting to wonder if anywhere in the world is still safe.
As always seems to be the case in unprecedented situations, criticism is directed at public safety entities and the university’s administrative leaders in what each could have done differently to help prevent or lessen this terrible tragedy.
Some of that criticism concerns the notification process of the student population at Virginia Tech. According to The Associated Press, while the first shooting was reported at 7:15 am, the first notification of students in Blacksburg was sent at 9:26 am by email. The horrific second shooting in Norris Hall occurred at 9:45 am and email notification was sent at 10:53 am.
Several reports concerned the difficulty in notifying students and teachers who were commuting to the campus during the morning hours. Certainly, email was not going to help these folks as they drove into the disaster.
Today, at work, our staff received a series of calls from public schools, private schools, community colleges, and universities who had been hastily assigned the task of finding a better solution for notification of students and parents should an unthinkable similar disaster occur at another school. That solution is text messaging–the quickest and most prevalent medium used by students today.
The sales team at the company discussed the early morning calls that were received in each of the three branch offices of the company in Philadelphia, Chicago, and St. Louis. Obviously, there was an interest in our text message alert product. The debate, however, was whether the company should promote that product given the possibility that it might be interpreted that the company was taking advantage of a terrible tragedy for monetary gain. Certainly, that is not the object of this article.
After much debate, it was decided that if the product the company offers was able to save a life, then the company welcomes any such profiteering criticism that might come the company’s way.
Certainly, based on the phone calls received at the office, and the reports on local radio news information station KYW, this tragedy has started several forward-looking academic institutions to analyze the way it sends timely messages to students. According to Philadelphia news station KYW’s story, “Local Campuses Re-Evaluate Security Procedures,” several regional universities are looking at how they would respond to a similar emergency.
KYW’s Paul Kurz said: “Temple might be able to learn something from the events at Virginia Tech, including how to better communicate with students in times of emergency.” Kurz went on to discuss the emergency response procedures in place in nearby West Chester–home of West Chester University.
The fact is that 84% of all Americans now have their cell phone on 24 hours a day and that cell phone is never more than a few feet from them. So, no matter where the students or university staff might be, the emergency message would reach them immediately. This is simply not the case with email.
Schools and universities need to keep a cell phone database, including carrier, of everybody associated with their institutions for emergency situations and be prepared to send text message blasts in emergency situations. It may be a life saver.

Text messaging has become one of the latest fads of today. Text messaging just makes life a little easier, not to mention that it is a whole lot more fun than talking on the phone. Text messaging is quick, simple, and best of all silent. Why is silent the best? Well, say, for instance, you are in a meeting, someone has an important message for you that you must get right away. Would you rather someone call your cell phone and interrupt the meeting or send a text message that not only allows the meeting to keep going uninterrupted, but also gets the message to you right away.
Text Messaging and Teens
Text messaging is probably the most popular in the teen generation of today. With text messaging you can send fun, cute, or flirty messages right over the cell phone and go on about your day. Teens are really into the text messaging thanks to the ability to shorten messages with fun abbreviations, as well as the fact that they can be personalized with pictures, graphics, music, icons, and even video.
Why do teens and text messaging go together so easily? Well, teens have come up with a variety of reasons for text messaging. For example, if they are in trouble with their parents and cannot talk on the phone, they can send a quick text message to all of their friends, letting them know not to call. Perhaps a girl or a boy has a crush on another person, well instead of being shy and embarrassed to pick up the phone and call, they may send a text message instead.
For teens text messaging is just fun, new, and exciting.
Text messaging essentially makes everyone’s life easier. Most all cell phones today feature text messaging capabilities. Furthermore, most cell phone companies offer a variety of packages, that include text messaging. Why wait? Start text messaging today.
