A humorous riff on shrinking gadgets from cordless phones to palm sized computers. The writer notes a cordless phone so small it forces awkward nose and mouth alignment, compares future satellite linked devices that track us, and jokes about privacy and distraction in isolated settings. The piece ends with the phone ringing near the end.
Education and Training Minister Linda McIntosh proclaims June 23 to July 11 as Hire-A Student weeks in Manitoba. Businesses and homeowners are urged to offer summer jobs to students, with new incentives and publicity aimed at boosting youth employment and skill development.
MYJC manager Kelly Stewart reports strong participation for Hire-a-Student Week with Kiddie Carnivals in Shoal Lake and Kenton, broad business backing from Hamiota to Co-op hot dogs and donut drives.
