INTERNT EMPOWERS PEOPLE TO MAKE A BETTER WORLD.

Since 1990 aproximately, the human being has been using internet. That made a huge breakthrough in every way you can imagine: social, cultural, politic,.. Since then it became a very usefull item for the daily.
Nowadays you can find anything you want in there. All kind of information, exitement, games, socail nets...
But you have to be aware that the information can sometimes be wrong. Adding to, the connection can be very bad and that advertisements can be so annoying because they come up whenever they want. Even porn pages pop out on the screen without knowing their origin.
So I would suggest putting some restriction for children, for example. And I would make it free and useful for everyone. It shouldn't be expensive!

I'm happy to live in this generation because I like using it !

BYE TO REMOTE CONTROL

In the 1950's the remote control was created for commodity. People didn't like to stand up from the sofa to change the TV programme, turn up or down the volume.. This year Microsoft and the University of Newcastle had created a device which you cann change the TV programmes by only moving your  wrist. Is the humanity turning up very lazy? Not only the TV. The invention can also control the movil phone.
It is made by a camera which is able to recognize small gestures and it translate them to control the items.
It's very interesting because we won't have to move at all from the sofa. And I've read that for the videogammes it's gonna be the same. As a consequence it's going to feel much more real. I'd like to try something like that because I want to know how it feels being inside an oposite world.

AMISH PEOPLE

One of my fiends,who is in another high school, is doing the research project about the Amish people and it made me curious. I looked up in the Internet to know more about them.

They are people from North America and they are very simple people. They are a group of traditionalist Cristian church. They resist to adopt many conveniences of modern technologies. The history of the Amish curch began in Switzerland. Their language is a dialect from the Swiss German.  They still use horse cars as a transport and they live in wood houses. They also have a special way of dressing.
Amish lifestyle is dectated by the order (Ordnung).What is acceptable in one community may not be acceptable in another. Bearing children, raising them, and socializing with neighbors and relatives are the greatest functions of the Amish family. All Amish believe large families are a blessing from God.
It's amazing how they prefer living in these conditions rather than in a modern world.

In contrastn if we want to evolve we all have to make a change.  







A CURIOUS NEW

The other day I was watching TV, something very strange for me because I never watch it. Suddently I heard somehing very interesting and I payed attention.

It was a report about pigeons and their great importance in wars because they had a real success in communication when they had to send a message.

Once a man was reforming a house and in the fireplace he found a dead pigeon with more than 70 years and it had a note along its leg with an indeciphrable message. And that has not yet been decipher.

This new made me curious because many pidgeons should have never reached their destination and could have changed history.
But it's really interesting how they came to train a pigeon to carry important messages. Today pigeons as an animal is considered "dirty" because it carries many diseases, but it should be more recognized for the great work that they had done earlier.


VERY SAD NEW.


I recognize that I'm a facebook addict and the other day I found a new that  really shocked me. This new has been inside my head for days now. 





Letter from a daughter: I went to a party and I remembered what you told me. You asked me to not drink alcohol. Accordingly with this I drunk a Sprite. I felt proud of myself. You told me that I didn't have to drink and drive at the same time just like some friends told me I has to do.


When the party was finished, the people started to drive being drunk. But I went straight to my car and I knew that I would return in peace. "I didn't know what was waiting for me mum"


Now I'm lying on the road and I hear a police saying " the guy that caused the accident was drunk". "Mum, his voice seems so far away"."My blood is all around me and I'm trying with all my strength of not crying". I can hear how the doctors say "this girl is about to cry". I'm sure that the guy that was driving very fast decided to drink and drive at the same time and I have to die.

"Why are there people that do this things, mum?" Knowing that this will destroy many families..
The pain  I feel it's like a hundred of knives cutting me."Tell to my sister to don't cry, and to dad to be strong".
Someone should have tough him that what he was doing was wrong. Maybe if their parents should have told him I wouldn't be dying now. My breathe is getting worst. "Mum these are my lasts moments and I'm desperate"."I'd like that you could hold me while I'm here on the floor".
"I'd like to tell you one last time that I love you"...."bye".

These words were written by a reporter that saw the accident. While the girl was dying she was saying these words and the journalist was writing her them.

After reading this I was very very sad... But I though ..How people can be so unconscious and irresponsible? I'm so disappointed on what happened. It should be much more controlled. We can't leave people do this horrible things.. 





DANGEROUS DOGS IN FAMILIES


This news article talks about a man and a woman who entered into Morales Garzon's

house and asked them for money or they would take her baby.

Morales Garzon's mother did not have money and the two intruders kidnapped the baby.

However as they were leaving the dog of the family (Doberman) stopped them. Luckily 

the baby was unharmed but her mother had to go to the hospital because she had injuries

after defending herself during the attack.

On one hand I think these dogs are dangerous by nature. 

On the other hand the owner should educate his dog well and show him good 

maners. I think they can be a great watchdog for the family and home. As I said 

these dogs are dangerous by nature and many people treat them very badly : for 

fighting with other dogs and make money. These dogs have a bad reputation, but in this 

story the dog is the hero.


BABYSITTING

I've been working for two summers now. Last summer I was working as a waitress in a minigolf. But this year I had to look for a work which I could combine to have time for my research project. A very close friend of mine asked me if I wanted to be a babysitter. I love children so my answer was YES.

I only had to work 5 days a week during 4 hours. I was taking care of loads of children. I was taking care of them at the tennis club from my town. I use to play with they during the first hours but when the sun was burning we used to go to the swimming pool. Finally we use to do art grafts before lunch.
And as soon as everyone knew I was babysitting people asked me more and more to do it.
I was so happy to have a big exit in this because I could save a bit of money for myself. Like in my age it's important that everyone does it.


One night a French family asked me to stay with their children they were 7 !!! But everything went fine.
