The project that can change the world: Project glass

Google is now working to create a glasses-mobile that you can browse the web and do a lots of thinks so far only been seen in the movies.

What is Google's Project Glass?

Google's Project Glass is Google's attempt to make wearable computing mainstream, and it's effectively a smart pair of glasses with an integrated heads-up display and a battery hidden inside the frame.
Wearable computing is not a new idea, but Google's enormous bank account and can-do attitude means that Project Glass could well be the first product to do significant numbers.

IN MY OPINION
in my opiniont this is really amazing and in the future the people will live with this amazing tecnology that it's really amazing 




How would Greece leave the euro?

A "drachma" is an ancient Greek currency unit and translates as a "handful", which is a lot less than what Greece will need to pay off all its debts.


For two years, everyone has been asking what would happen if Greece left the euro and went back to the drachma.
Now that time may be upon us.
With Greece unable to devalue its currency, the country is hobbled with crippling debt payments it cannot afford.
Even though it has cut its debt in half, Greece has been subject to much social unrest as five years of recession and bailout-imposed spending cuts have bitten hard.


Greece is a victim of stocks markets, the people of Greece there are suffering a lot because a lot of people haven't got money for eat or for live in a house.


In my opinion now it's the time for ban stock markets because makes suffer a lot of innocent people when there are people that is winning a lot of money.

Write a review of a film


Battleship



I’d like to recommend a film which i have viewed recently, called Battleship. The director of the movie is Peter Berg.

This film is a drama and the setting is about a war between aliens and the people from the earth. At the beginning of the movie the main character's brother dies in the war fighting on a ship with aliens. At the end, the protagonist and the fighters of the 2nd world war fighters win the war and save the people from the earth.

The thinks I liked most about the film were the characters and the theme of the war into a ship. Some of the scenes are memorable because you see the friendship between soldiers from different nations like Japanese soldiers and soldiers from united states. At the beginning the soldiers were angry with the other and at the end, they become friends.

All in all, I really liked the film and it’s beautiful ending. It’s a funny movie and if you love movies about war you’ll love it.




A Formal letter

Students against animal abuse

Dear sir or madam,

I represent a group called 'Students against Nuclear Energy'. I am writing to you because we are concerned about plants to build a slaughterhouse in our area.
In our opinion, in slaughterhouses animals suffer a lot because they're being killed for food. The  slaughterhouses give a bad image about this town and make a lot of stink. We think that being vegetarian is a better alternative because it does not abuse animals.

  
We have therefore decided to take action, and we're going to organiza a protest. For this reason, we are sending you a poster and we hope that you'll support us and help to publicize this event.

Your's faithfully,
JMP

The titanic

100 years after the titanic tragedy, the world's most famous ship still fascinates us. This April, discover the legend in the new 3D version of jame's cameron's film Titanic 3D.

What was the titanic?


The titanic was the largest passenger ship in the world when it was built in 1912 in Belfast, Northern isreland. It was a little floating town with passengers from all social classes. Third class passengers paid three pounds to eight for one-way ticket to America. First class passengers paid 30 pounds.

Inside the titanic

The titanic was a luxury ship. Rich passengers paid 865 for a suite decorated in elegant styles. There was also the famous Grand staircase which is in the film Titanic too.
For more read the megazine and enjoy the story.


Personal opinion

 In my opinion the titanic is now one of the youngest legends about ships. In this story a lot of people die, it's true but today with the movies it isn't real.
