Technology Current Event

1. Topic: Google cancels out Christmas and the rest of December because of an error

2. Article Title: Google error cancels Christmas (and all of December)

3. Article Source: CNN
4. Summary: There was an app on Android devices that had Google calendar. Whenever they went to the app to date people's birthday and Christmas, December wasn't there. It didn't exist. Someone said "Is Google the new Grinch who stole Christmas?".

5. Reaction: I feel pretty neutral about this topic because I don't have an Android device or the app they are talking about. Yeah, it's pretty crazy that Google made a mistake like this. People make mistakes all the time, no worries. They got the problem fixed anyways. So, maybe Google isn't worried about the Mayan apocalypse after all. 


6. World Impact: This event effects the world because some people were worried about not having December on their little Google Calendar app thing. If I was a user of the Google Calendar and I wanted to date someone's birthday or a holiday, I would be pretty upset December wasn't there. Well, not really "upset", just worried I guess you could say. But now, Google has the error fixed. Hopefully there will be no more problems or complaints.
