Summary:
This article is about how robocalls annoy people and how people can tell if it is a fake one or not. Robocalls are an automated phone call that plays a recording. An all-time record of unwanted telemarketing calls of 3,840,572 or 70% was during 2012.

Reaction:
This event can help people in the U.S. to come up with ideas and help find a way to stop illegal robocalls. I don't think it is necessary for people to compete to find technological ways to curb illegal robocalls. This event won't help us get rid of the "robocalls" that just calls us to know who we are voting for, or for a survey. All the people can do is pick up the phone and if you are not doing anything then you can do what they won't you to do, but be careful what information you give out.

World Impact:
This event won't impact the world to much because its just robocalls. The only way it will effect you is if you give out to much information and it was a fake robocall. The fake robocall can get your bank account number and clear out your account. You won't have nothing left. Giving out information is very serious. and you should not do it unless you are very sure you know what your doing.
