My say: Donald Trump

In front the polemic result of USA elections I’m going to give my opinion about that.

First of all I have to admit that the morning that I saw Donald Trump winning the elections, I got really surprised because I don’t think that a man like Trump can take such an important place like that.

After all the things that he said in meetings it’s difficult to believe that he get the absolute majority. If we think about why the people had voted Trump we can think it’s about the fear that they feel in front of terrorist attacks, and that’s why they want to close the borders. And on the other hand the racist people Voted him because they think that America is losing Money because of them and that’s why they don’t want to let immigrants live in the country.

In summary it was a surprising result but I think and I hope that Trump isn’t going to do bad things for America and for the world.

News: Now that's a bright idea! Street lights powered by FOOTSTEPS make their world debut in Las Vegas

News:

This new article explains us about a new technology developed to produce energy by a simply and ecologic way.

With this new idea the street light are going to be powered by our footsteps because there are a type of plaques installed on the ground and when we step it, they produce energy. All of this helped by solar panels, can create energy for an area with led street light, mobile charger zones and also Wi-Fi.

In a short time we can found it installed in Boulder Plaza, Las Vegas.

Opinion:

In my opinion it’s a very innovation idea and now we only have to see if it works good and we can apply that in all the cities or if it’s just a nice project that never succeed.

Does humor play an important role in life?

In my opinion humor is very important in our lives  for many reasons.
First of all it makes people happy and normally people like to be happy, so we can say that they like humor.
Another fact is that we can use it always (excepting some delicated situations)  to make anything happier and enjoy it more.Foe example, if you are in a boaring class of a boaring subject and the teacher starts to use humor is the exlanaition, I'm sure hat you will pay more atention than if the teacher keeps doing a boaring class. And this is just an example betwen many others.
In summary we can say that humor plays an important role in our lives beause it makes all funnier and helps us to be happy and not be depressed.

News: Russia creates terrifying 'death ray' that can FRY enemy drones from half a mile away using microwaves

News:

This article explanis us about a new militatr device created to destroy enemie drones from a mile away using microwaves.  It aso told us that the gun supposedly dissables the radio enemy drones and milliles, so theoricly, the foe cannot attack that area with remoted systems. Finally it explanis us that it uses ultra-high frequency impulses to imobilise aircraft elecronics.

Opinion:

In my opinion it’s good for Russia becaure now they are more secure, but if we think about it, I’m sure that it costed a fortune. And  the bad point is that Russia is always spending money in innecessari millitar things, like if they wanted to cause a war. In summary I think it isn’t good to create new devicies like that, and if they have too much money and thay don’t know what to do with it, they should give it to poor counties.

News: Creepy human replica could train future surgeons: 3D printed body that breathes and bleeds can recreate the trauma of emergency operations

News:

This news article explains about the creation of a human replica which we could train new surgeons. This artificial body had been created with a 3D printer and the help of a CT scan that allows scientist to recreate the human organs. Then it talk about that lungs can inflate and deflate and that the artificial blood can also give the operator a very realistic impression of how a patient can loss blood. Finally this article tells us that by now this replicas are going to be used only for training millitary and civilian surgeons. 

Opinion:
In my opinion it's a big advance but maybe too expensive. I think that using dead bodies is better if we talk about money, but a dead body can't breathe and bleed, so it's more realistic if we use the replica.

My say: opinion about Ted talks monologue

To start I have to say that I’m completely agree with the women’s opinion. I think everybody can learn a subject (except people with mental problems) but it depends to a lot of facts. In my opinion the main fact is the family, because if you born in a family that don’t give importance to the studies, you are not going to pay attention at school or you are not going to do your homework, so it’s very difficult in these cases. Also it depends about your friends and it’s very important to be in a group of working people, because they will do similar activities as you and don’t make you fell strange studying. Apart from it, I think it depends a lot about the interest you have in the subject but it’s only if you are studying a high level of some subject, the basic level have no excuses. In summary this is my opinion about the monologue and it would be nice if every family can motivate his sons to study.

News: Rise of the Russian robo-soldier: Iron Man military hardware is one step closer to reality as Putin's scientists reveal 'Ivan the Terminator'

Link 

News:

This article explains us about a military robot created in Russia to replace people in battles or emergency areas where there is risk of explosion, fire, or radiation. This robot is remote controlled by a human who transmits movements to them with sensors.

Opinion:

In my opinion it has two interpretations: The good one is that we can access difficult zones with no health problems, and the bad one is that it can be used as an indestructible military. I think technology advantages can destroy the world if we use it like that.

In conclusion if we use it for good, it's great, but if we use it bad, it can cause lots of destruction.

News:

This article tells us about a 60 minute episode shows us what information can see a hacker in a short time. It shows a how a hacker can listen your calls, see your messages and also, the location of your phone, your emails, your calendar etc. and all of these with an easy way.

 

Opinion:

In my opinion that o program shows to the world, how easy is for a hacker to see our information. I think in future they can know everything and do whatever they want with our information because as the time pass, we give more information to internet.

My say: The perfect age

I know I'm only 16 years old but if I could choose an age to return, I'll choose when I was 10. At that time, all was fabulous: I had almost no homework, I had a lot of free time, I had no worries and I was playing all time or doing what I want. Now, after 6 years, my life has changed so much. I have a lot of homework and exams that gives me less free time and more preoccupations than when I was 10.

In summary my life is very different now because I grew up and that has good thing too, like to go out with your friends and be more free, but I still prefer when I was 10.

My say: Cinema

The cinema is one of my best entertainments but I can’t understand the high ticket prices that you have to pay when you go to the cinema. I think if they lower the price of the tickets they will earn more money because everyone is going to the cinema. For example, in Roses the price from Monday to Tuesday is 5 euros and I think it's a good price, but at the weekend the price grow up until 7 euros and that prices without popcorns and drinks that can double the total price. 

In summary, if they lower the total price, they would have more public and all of we would win.

My say: A little club who had win the Premier League

Unfortunately in big sports the money is what controls everything and it means that big clubs are going to win more cups because they have more money to do better transfers fee etc. 

But this time in one of the most important leagues of the world, the Premier League, a little club won the championship. Every year at the start of the season there are some teams that surprise everyone e because they arrive at the top of the classification, but they only maintains this position for some weeks. This year that team is called Leicester but in difference to the other years, this team finally won the championship.

What I want to say with this “my say” I that it’s great that little teams win cups because they show to the world that money is not all, and you can get what you want with hard work.

My say: Parties

Days ago I went to "Barraques" in Figueres and the music was so bad, as always at these type of parties.

I have to say that I've enough with that because always when we go to a party out of a club, the music is completely insupportable. And I'm not the only one who thinks that, all the people of my age think the same, but even though the council continues contracting groups for middle-aged people. In my opinion, they should play these type of music until 2:30 or 3:00 and then put a DJ, or a better idea is to do both concerts at the same time, but maybe it's too expensive.

In summary parties like these would be better for us if the music was more modern.

My say: Religion

Before I start I want to say that I don't believe in god and I think it's an invent from old generations because at that moment, they didn't know nothing about science and they have to find something or someone who gives sense to the world.
The thing that now, when we know a lot about science, religion continues in our society.
It's true that now there are less religon people but altough the society still having lots of them. In my opinion it's just a question of people with who you grow up, for exeamp!e: I'm not religious but I'm sure that if I was born in a very religious family in South America or South of Spain, I would belive in god.
In summary I think that religion will exist forever and we have to accept that as a way of thinking.

My say: The teachers influence on the subject

Next year I’m going to do 2^nd of Batxillerat and now I have to decide the optative subjects that I will do next year. The problem is that some teachers will change the subject that they are doing now and unfortunately we have to take this into consideration. In my opinion a teacher is someone who can make a subject interesting, if not, this isn’t good because it will not help us to learn. Teachers tell us that we shouldn’t look which teachers are going to do the different subjects because it isn’t important, but then you think in the unsupportable teachers you have that make you bored in class, and that makes you think about the subjects we choose.

In conclusion I think like teachers because finally we study to get a good mark from specific subjects to do a specific career so we have to look what subjects counts more to do that career and forget about teachers. If we do that, maybe we get better marks but if we don´t do that possibly we enjoy more the classes, but our work doesn’t count for anything.

News: The battle for virtual reality: YouTube takes on Facebook with 360° live videos which allow viewers to hear concerts in '3D sound'

Link

This article tells us that into the battle for virtual reality between Youtube and Facebook, Youtube is going to introduce a 3D sound to make better the VR experience. In addition, Youtube gives us the chance to see this type of video adapted for VR headsets, and it also explains that Coachella concerts are the first to be available using this technology that makes you feel like if you are inside.

In my opinion it’s good because in future you can be wherever you want for free but at the same time it has a bad part because this technology can make people get crazy and live more time into VR than in real life. So I think it should have a limit if we don’t want that people don’t get out from their houses.

News: Marty McFly's self-lacing shoes are FINALLY here

This news article tells us about a new technology from Nike called HyperAdapt that tie your shoelaces when feels a sensor situated in the shoe sole. Also the article explains us that they still working on this project and we can buy the first pair on autumn but the price is unknown.

In my opinion this is interesting but practically nobody will buy these shoes because the price is going to be too expensive and actually the difference from another shoes is unappreciable. This is not a thing that are going to change completely the market of shoes, It’s only a reference to the film Back to the future and only rich people or geeks of this film are going to buy this.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3495950/Marty-McFly-s-self-lacing-shoes-FINALLY-Nike-reveals-powerlace-trainers.html

My say: The caducity dates of technology devices

All the people know that technologic devices, especially the smartphones get worse as time goes on. In my opinion this is because the companies designs   to do it and obligate to the consumer to buy a new phone. In my case I have a phone for two years and the last year was horrible, it get too low and wrong in all aspects. What I want to say with this, is that for the highest prices we paid for a phone, they should give us a phone that can work perfectly as long as we want, and in that case we only are going to buy a new smartphone to get new advances like a better screen, camera, etc.

My say: The TV future

Today I practically don’t watch TV except when I’m eating or to watch a football or basketball match. I think the future of TV is worse than now because today we have Internet and we can watch the same things that do in TV, when and where we want with our smartphone or tablet. In my opinion use internet is more usually than TV because the majority of the content that are on TV, is on Internet, and also you have more content that are not on TV. In summary in my opinion the business of TV is going to be worse in future for this reasons ant it will be only an object to whatch te content better and bigger.

My say: Obligatory readings

On the High School we have to read obligatory lectures that teacher order you. I think it’s a bad idea in general because if you don’t like the book you have to read it because you are going to do an exam of that reading. That makes it bored for the student and that’s not good because if he start to hate reading, he are not going to read more in future. I’m agree with some cultural books that are obligatory, but if the book isn’t cultural I think we have to choose the book we want according to a list that teacher gives us for example.  

My say: lucky in life

The majority of the world population have similar lives that follow the same patron. First you’re studding for lots of years to get a good job and earn some money in future. Normally this is a normal job and you don’t earn a lot of money, but there are people who have a big luck and can earn so much money doing less than you. For example all the famous actors, professional sportsmen etc. obviously not everyone can do the things that they do but why that works are more valued than others? And in the opposite side there are the poor people who have no money to buy food. This shows us the unequal world where we live.

News: The plane fuelled by ALGAE: Zero-carbon Eraole craft is set to fly across the Atlantic

• This article is about a new plane that will travel from New York to Paris next June. The difference is it's powered by algae biofuel and solar panels. The flight will take 60 hours and the pilot will also travel with little space, no rest and no pressure in the plane! The idea is to make carbon dioxide emissions less and if the flight is successful they will make a big plane to carry passengers. 
• In my opinion that's a good idea beacuse using a normal plane we left big quantities of residual gases that are not good for the Earth, but using that plane there are no apreciable residues. On the other hand I think it's too dangerous because now is in an experimental process but also it isn't practichal for the time it spend. The poblation (incuded me) prefeers to fly with a plane that contamines but get fast, than in a echologic plane that get low and takes a lot of more time than the other. So thay have to continue investigating but untill the have a version symilar or better than the actual planes, it can't be usefull.

My say: Spring Break Miami

For people who don’t know Spring Break Miami, it’s a holiday week (really it’s more than a week) when the students have holidays like here in Easter, actually thees dates coincide more or less. In this week there are a lots of parties on the beach, pools and hotels, and also one of the biggest music festivals in the world called Ultra Music Festival. There is a crazy week for people who live there and for tourists obviously, and I think we can do something similar here in Barcelona for example. I’m not saying a full week  of parties like there, but a two days festival for example, because it’s a week when the adolescence have holidays, except if someone works or goes away on holidays. I think is a good idea because it will be good for us and for the city in the economic aspect. Because here in Spain there are a lots of big parties but only in summer and this will be different.

My say: The Wi-Fi dependence

Now when I’m typing this, I’m having problems with my home Wi-Fi, and I have to admit this a very horrible and annoying sensation. If it happens for one day it doesn’t matter but if this happens for a long time it is very stressful because when you are going to use internet with mobile phone, computer, console etc, it goes too slow and makes you angry. When you have no internet it’s difficult to find something that gives you entertainment (especially if you can’t get out of your home). That shows me how much are we connected in our daily lives and the problems we have when we can’t use internet. We are addicted to WiFi!

News: Xbox owners will soon be able to play online with friends who have Sony PlayStations and PCs

This news article explains about soon Xbox players have cross-platform that lets you play with other gamers who have not necessarily the same console as you. It also mentions that the company presented this idea to game developers because if they do not agree, this project can't work. Also this article tells us that first game to accept the cross-platform is Rocket League.

In my opinion that's an interesting project because it means that people who have Xbox can play with other people who have PS4 or PC's. This news can change the console business, at the moment people buy a console depending on their friends because if they don't have the same platform, they can't play together.  If this project continued, the sales of Xbox are going to increase because there are more players online and it makes the game more fun.
