It's a funny video I found some time ago.
You won't understand if you haven't played God of War.

Unfortunately...

My dear students!!

I am sure you will miss our classes a lot but I need to inform you that we won't have classes tomorrow, since our major asked all the private schools to suspend classes till next Monday.

Just want to remind you of bringing your Workbooks and Reference Guides next Tuesday, so that I can check what you've done so far.

*** DON'T FORGET ABOUT OUR TEST NEXT THURSDAY!!! ***

Study units 1 and 2 in advance to make sure you do not have any doubts. If you do, bring them to class and we'll solve them together.

See you, Janine

Future of Technology!

The technology is something that we all need in our lifes. Nowadays , noone can say "I can live without it". If you need to wake up to work early, How could you do that without an alarm clock? If you work on the center of your town, Will you walk untill there? Probably you will take your car and drive, won't you? These are good examples about how you need technology with you.

We can see 3 types of televisions, the first one that was developed in 1924.
How things change.. Currently, we have got the best Television which we have acess, the plasma HD full with the best quality of image we have seen.
In a near future, we will be able to handle with that huge television that we can touch and select the program we want to watch by touching! Amazing.. (The last picture of televisions)










It is not all about Televisions.. We can also see an example about car:
In 2043, scientists say that it will be a safer, lively, quieter than before.







In the end, we can basicaly say we can not live without technology. Technology is a good thing, make us more happy, confortable, facilitated. On the other hand, it brings us some collateral effects as Greenhouse for example. It comes because of the huge amount of CO2 that is released into the atimosfera. Excess of smoke released by cars is a reason of the amount of CO2. A consequence is the melting of the glaciers that we usually hear around.
There are two sides of the Technology currently, as said before.. In the future, the new advances will bring us better things than worse things? This is something without answer.. Just the time will tell us.
