How technology has changed people's lives.

Technology is the application of mental and physical effort in order to achieve something. It involves 3 stages: tools, machines and automation. The evolution of technology is the substitution of physical labour into machines resulting in a development of production.

This technology has changed people's lives in different aspects. Work is a lot easier and, as a result, people have more free time.

Culture has been changing over the years because of the inventions. Modern gadgets connect everybody to everything, like iphones, internet, to name just a few.

The Internet is the main source of communication and information around the world. People can follow the news and events in a click. Students can do their school researches. Also, another benefit as a result of the Internet is that it helps people find old friends through networking websites like Facebook, Myspace, etc.

The discovery for new technologies seems to have no end. Every time each year people are faced with new inventions, new robots, machines and gadgets that are considered 'must-haves'.

We can predict that the ending of this cycle will regress of people's hearts. Perhaps, someday in the future people will probably miss the old times, when life seemed to be less complicated and simpler.

3-D MOVIES - AVATAR

In the future, Jake, a paraplegic war veteran, is brought to another planet, Pandora, which is inhabited by the Na'vi, a humanoid race with their own language and culture. Those from Earth find themselves at odds with each other and the local culture.

When his brother is killed in a robbery, paraplegic Marine Jake Sully decides to take his place in a mission on the distant world of Pandora. There he learns of greedy corporate figurehead Parker Selfridge's intentions of driving off the native humanoid "Na'vi" in order to mine for the precious material scattered throughout their rich woodland. In exchange for the spinal surgery that will fix his legs, Jake gathers intel for the cooperating military unit spearheaded by gung-ho Colonel Quaritch, while simultaneously attempting to infiltrate the Na'vi people with the use of an "avatar" identity. While Jake begins to bond with the native tribe and quickly falls in love with the beautiful alien Neytiri, the restless Colonel moves forward with his ruthless extermination tactics, forcing the soldier to take a stand - and fight back in an epic battle for the fate of Pandora.

Well, well, well, watching this 3D movie is unique, really something, it is worth the visit to the cinema. But the plot is kind of naive, kind of "let's save the world". If you watched it, did you like it? Post your comment.

Floods in Brazil

I was searching for news about flooding in Brazil and I found quite many in foreign papers. The regions were in flood of heavy rains and mudslides and killed several people. But then I realized they were news about the last year. If you type ‘flooding in Brazil’ on Google you will find a lot of about past years.

Every year we are struck by heavy rains and floods and mudslides and deaths. And it seems that it catches us by surprise. I see people on TV crying and complaining about furniture they have lost and nowhere to go. It's a pity because every year we watch the same news on TV. But I think it's getting worse.

When Autumn comes rains go.

And like magic, no one remembers what they have been through during the summer, moving on with their lives, just waiting for another rainy season.

Will it have an end?

MERRY XMAS!!!
