Can Facebook make you sad?

Facebook is an online social networking service. It was create for few students in 2004. Nowadays it is the most used social network. In it we can create profiles with photos and video, a list of personal interests, contact information, memorable life events, and other information such as employment status. 

In this peace of new is discussed if the Facebook is good or not. Some people think that it’s a good medium of entertainment, and other think the opposite. This new talk about one study, by the University of Michigan, about if the Facebook makes you feel sad. The majority of survey responded that using Facebook is positive, but a few amount of people said that they feel sad.

This kind of people has this problem because, as they look at others profiles, they feel like their life doesn’t succeed as others people do. This effect is called ‘’friendly word syndrome’’. Another similar phenomenon is that my buddies have more friend than me and it’s called jealousy.

In my point of view Facebook and another social networking don’t have to affect so much, because we are watching for what they say and what they do in all moment. We seem like machines that most of time we pass in front of a computer or a mobile phone. Do you want an advice? Live your life as you know and leave what others do.

The beauty of life

The other day, in language class we had to do a composition about ‘’what is the beauty of life?’’ and I think that it is a good question. Have you ever really stopped for a second just to admire the beauty in everything around you?

On one hand for me nature is wonderful. Go to the mountain or the forest and listen to the birds or smell the wet leaves, these are the small things that make me happy. When I’m stressed or I can’t see the best way in life, sometimes I go there and I stretch out and I just watch the clouds how they cross the sky. 

Or other example can be the family, personally the family is the most important thing in this lifespan and when I stay with them I’m very happy. Recently, I and my mum went out of our street and we saw two rabbits playing and jumping on the land. We looked at each other the same time and laughed. That laugh was happiness. 

From my point of view people don’t take into account the little things or closer things the best ones. People live the life and that’s all. Basically people grow up and wait for the life to pass: firstly they go to the school, after go to high school and then it’s time to choose a degree or work. After that we get together with other people and we have children… For these people life is mechanical. And we never think what makes us happy. For this reason, in my opinion, we should think of it. Although people seem to be happy, and this is important.

Save your sanity for less

This video explains that we can’t think clearly when we are tired or running down.  In UK a 40% of the employees worked harder than the other year and a 53% of the employee said that they did the work of the other employee. In Mexico, South Korea and Chile are the best workers wold wide and in US a 65% the employees have stress because of the work.

A lot of people don’t have money or time but, nevertheless people have to take care their health. One think you can do for less than you think is yoga, it doesn’t cost too much and you can do it by yourself.  But wherever you go, always request for a discount.  Another think you can do it take a massage, go to the gym, to a sauna…  But remember to choose a good place empty of peace and calm. 

  

 

Those things are possibilities to disconnect from the work and the world. They are cheaper and they are healthy for your sanity. So you know, take a rest and practise yoga. In my case, I do swimming and I go once a week to do swimming, it’s one of the best things to get away from that surrounds me.

  

Man sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. Then he is so anxious about the future that he doesn't enjoy the present: the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.

Will drones become the future of farming?

Pilotless drones have had the biggest impact on the battlefield, serving as eyes in the sky and even as attack aircraft. But could they find another role, helping farmers boost food production?

“Drones” are probably the most advanced equipment in the field of robotics, aeronautics and electronics. The technical name of drones is “Unmanned Aerial Vehicles” . They are aerial vehicles which come in wide varieties of sizes, shapes and functions, which are controlled either by remote or control systems from the ground. They are generally used to carry out tasks in which manned flight is considered to be risky. Drones mostly find use in military services to spying or to protect.

These machines are too expensive, but scientists are trying to use these drones for agriculture. For example, GPS-guided tractors to automated milking machines. These farmers can make their job faster and more controlled, in fact they can produce more nourishment.

In my opinion, these drones have some advantages: are good for helping the farmers because this is a job where they have to work with the whole body and is very tired. Furthermore, drones could help people in other tasks such as finding missing people or spying traffic violation. But drones have its drawbacks. These engines could spy on our private life: spying a birthday in the garden or a naked bath in our swimming pool

PAUL WALKER DIES AT THE EDGE OF 40

Paul Walker dies at the edge of 40 in accident traffic. He was going to a charity event in Santa Clarita, California, when he slammed his red Ferrari into a tree because of a speed. After this the car burst into flames and Paul couldn’t get out of the car.

Paul Walker was well known because of his movies, specially the saga of Fast and Furious since the first film to the sixth one. He was film-making the seventh but now we know that this is impossible to finish. Anybody knows what is the director going to do now. Other films he has done is Timeline, Into the blue…

Fast and Furious, In my view is the best career saga. Paul was the main character who started as a policeman and finished like a fugitive who ran in illegal races. The two lasts films were the best ones but not less important as the firsts ones.

When my father told me this morning that he died I couldn’t believe it. I was and I’m very upset. He was such a good actor for die… It’s too sad and stunning.

God bles Paul Walker.
