How do I stop people from taking pictures of me?
With social media sites out there like Instagram,Twitter,Facebook, and ect. there are a lot of photos being taken and uploaded. If you walk through my school you would think it's a photo booth. I mean seriously these people take pictures like it's going out of style and it's hard to avoid being in one. I often get into people's pictures by accident. I could be walking through the hallway and someone is trying to take a selfie but get in the background of it. Not to mention I hate having pictures taken of me. Someone please give me some tips on how to avoid being in pictures.
Is it possible for mobile phones without a SIM card to connect to the internet without using WiFi?
If you just need internet in that phone (without sim & without wifi), then its simple — you can connect it over USB or Bluetooth to your laptop (which has internet, presumably over wifi, 3G/4G, LAN etc) and run an app like reverse DUN or use BT PAN or if your phone has USB OTG then even over a LAN.Tell me if u need names of apps and specific configuration instructions - you need to tell me what you are gonna use (ie laptop with bluetooth, phone model & OS, usb microusb cable available or not etc)On the other hand, if you want to use voice or text/sms services then there's no easy quick way to do that. But since i have needed to do this voice text stuff a few times i am giving the details & options below for anyone else searching around before asking it on quora (people do search before posting new questions, right? )Background: GSM phones use physical SIM for authentication to the network. CDMA phones dont use SIM but software/firmware or whats called virtual sim. Now telcos are shifting back to virtual sim with apple wanting to do that for various reasons. The original objective of SIM was to let the consumer easily change networks/ telcos without s/w issues requiring you to go to the telco.SIM is required to securely identify the account which is to be billed, to the telecom company. Securly, mainly so others cant make calls on your account and also for privacy etc.You want to make a normal voice call ? Use skype or google voice number to make the call. Or any of the voip services. This assumes you have internet over WiFi.If you need to send text messages then that can be done too with sms gateway services.If you want to receive calls on the same number then the only option is to have that number working for 5 min so you can forward the calls or verify it for fwd to google voice.If you want to recieve text messages on that number then i haven't been able to find a solution to that. Yet. Once i needed to recieve OTPs on an Indian number which always refused to work in Europe so i put that sim in an extra phone left at home with sms forwarding app running (connected to charger and with backup wifi internet on !).Finally, if you want to make calls and want that same number to be diaplayed on the receiver’s phone then that's not answerable on quora !
How did people communicate in the olden days?
It depends on how you define 'olden days'. Many of those who are part of today's younger digital age could refer to the olden days as anything prior to the introduction of text/SMS messaging via your mobile phone or the advent of the computer and email messaging system. If we consider the olden days as the time before the introduction of the telephone then communication and correspondence were very different to the forms we use today:• Cave, or rock, paintings were used in prehistoric times and some, such as those found at Chauvet in France, can be dated back to 30000BC. Although, the precise nature of these drawings is not known historians believe that they may have been an early form of communication.• Smoke signals, although mostly associated with the Native American tribes of North America, were used as far back as 2100BC in ancient China. Soldiers holding guard on the Great Wall were able to inform their comrades of a forthcoming attack. By passing on the message they could send a signal as far as 750 kilometres in just a few hours.• Messengers were used in ancient times to deliver important communications from A to B, either by foot or on horseback. Some marathons that run today trace the route taken by these early couriers.• Carrier pigeons have also been used to transfer physical messages from place to place. These birds were used to great effect during World War I and World War II, 32 of which earned the Dickin Medal for bravery - often referred to as the animal equivalent of the Victoria Cross.• Electrical telegraphy, such as Morse code, was used to send messages across America during the 1800s. By 1861 the messages, a series of deciphered sonic beeps and dashes, could be sent from coast-to-coast.

If it's your phone you can unlock it or get a Radio Shack tech to help you, but most phones that come with a plan are LEASED equipment. Read the contract and you'll see whether the phone is your legal property, but probably not.

Are teachers allowed to confiscate your phone until your parents come and get it?
I know this sounds like a frequently asked question, and I bet it is, yet I have a slightly different question. Of course the teachers can confiscate our phones, especially because it's banned at our school (completely pointless, because all phones are are small computers). Anyway. I've heard that it's a law that teachers may only confiscate a phone for a duration of a class, yet my teachers confiscate our phones until our parents personally come and pick it up, and if your parents rarely come to school, your phone is gone for a long, long time. I don't see this as fair and especially as very, very dangerous. What do you think? Are teachers allowed to do that or should they give the phones back at the end of the lesson?
