In fact, it won’t even rearrange your home screen icons. General then scroll down and tap the Reset button at the bottom. On the Reset screen tap Reset All Settings - Not Erase All Content and Settings - then you’ll need to verify you want to do it twice. It should only take a couple of minutes at most.
After it’s finished, you’ll need to reconnect to WiFi, Bluetooth, and configure other custom settings. A settings reset might solve problems you’re having with your device and I recommend trying this first. It might save you time without having to deal with a backup and hard reset. If you do need to do a full reset, make sure to back up your data first, as explained in our guide for updating iOS. Do I loose my apps or pictures, Personally speaking, resetting just because you have battery issues, won’t do the work. Rather, it will turn on Bluetooth and data pack since they are on by default. Restoring the device would be much better.
The public space of streets, neighborhoods and communities is being mapped and targeted by viral marketers and fake grassroots organizations. In some cases the campaigns are overt but, increasingly, street 'agents' are making unannounced social approaches. Fake tourists flash around the latest camera-phone to passing crowds. Product seeders' circulate at sports events to find influential young players to wear their gear.
Others wander the street wearing colored corporate tattoos. Personal space is the last frontier for commerce. As citizens attempt to retreat from the deluge of media advertising they can now be stalked when they step out the door. Industry front groups, public relations firms and government departments are planting news stories on TV, radio, newspapers and the web. Those 'miracle drug' stories or research reports are often Video News Release (VNRs). TV newsrooms love these prepackaged news items that are distributed across the networks. It saves them time and money but it is killing community news and genuine investigative reporting.
Real news items are being replaced by slick corporate promotions and political messages. According to one Nielsen Media Research Survey, about 80 percent of U.S. VNRs several times a month, and all American television newsrooms now use VNRs in their newscasts.

The most successful public relations campaigns aim to change public perception without our awareness of the campaign. They are typically launched by governments, institutions and countries who need to change their public image, restore their reputation or manipulate public opinion.
There are PR firms today who advise dictatorships, dishonest politicians and corrupt industries to cover up environmental catastrophes and human rights violations. These are some of the myriad ways used and applied by the Public relations technicians in order to hawk their wares. We get to see how these mind controlling messages are used and in what types of settings or media environments.. Learning about them, at least helps us understand our own behaviors and needs, as to whether they are generated by something outside ourselves or by us.
Which, in the final analysis, we think we are in control of the urges, but these are merely subliminally planted unconscious ideas that we are responding to consciously, and think we are making decisions. So that, ultimately, technological techniques and gizmos enable the public relations people to overrun us and we in the end, obey them.
Well it would be interesting to see what other thinkers have to say on the subject. This is one other aspect of the mind and the present computer/internet connection and thrust that I began to ask myself if we think better than computers or do computers think, and if so, better than us,
