Gadget I cant live without



When I started to write this, I thought it was obvious that the gadget I couldn’t live without would be my smartphone. While mine is about as far from a “smart” phone as you can get, I use it as a watch, alarm clock, telephone book, reminders, text messages and sometimes even as a phone. After a few minutes of thought, I realized that when I forget and leave my phone at home in the morning, I can still make it through the day just fine and this was supposed to be about something I really can’t live without. It occurred to me that what I really couldn’t live without is one of the oldest electronic “gadgets” around-Water purifier.

 Water Purification Safe drinking water is essential to every living being. Access to safe drinking water has improved over the past years, but still approximately one billion people are deprived of safe and clean water(stats wikipedia). Over 2.5 billion people have no access to adequate sanitation.  People are using more and more materials that are polluting the water sources that one drinks from. Fertilizer use is 15 times higher today than it was in 1945. Beach closures are becoming increasingly common.

The list of pollutants is long, and the signs of water pollution surround people, but the point is that these people are dumping contaminants into the small portion of water on the planet that is fit for drinking.Some of these contaminants can endanger your health, especially when they include microscopic organisms and bacteria that can cause serious illness.


 As of 2014 the World Health Organization (WHO) has reported 842, 000 deaths per year from waterborne diseases, that’s based on their www.who.int website. It’s just sad that these deaths can be prevented by having portable, clean, safe water. Especially in remote areas, where sanitation is a big concern, water is unsafe for drinking and unhygienic. This affects not just the middle aged residents but also the children, actually, everyone in the community.

If you could travel back in time , where would I go

I often find myself wondering: if I could live for any single day in the history of mankind (from anyone’s point of view), what day would I choose to live? .There is not a fixed answer  to this question and so i decided to make a list of places and period I would like to visit,:) Annoyingly hard. Some possibilities : Go back to a time before humans, to like 80 million BC, to experience a world without humanity. And to see dinosaurs. But my suspicion is I’d get there and wouldn’t be able to find any dinosaurs, or if I did, it would be cool for 10 minutes and then they’d be eating some grass and I’d remember that dinosaurs were just animals and animals are incredibly boring. Go back to 40,000 BC to a place with ancient human tribes. Again, worried about the boring factor. I’d watch them sit around the campsite and there’d be a couple dead animals there and some kids would be playing and everyone would be unattractiveđź‘… and I’d realize that this was a bad choice. Athens aroun...

                                HOBBY - la musique What is music? By Google- the art or science of combining vocal or instrumental sounds (sometimes both) to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion. As a teenager, I listen to it everyday. Music is one of the few activities that involves using the whole brain and that is why it interests me. It is native to all cultures and can have surprising benefits not only for learning language, improving memory and focusing attention, but also for physical coordination and development.  Of course, music can be distracting if it's too loud, or if it competes for our attention with what we're trying to do. But for the most part, exposure to many kinds of music has beneficial effects like: Effective therapy for pain Overall, music does have positive effects on pain management. Music can help reduce both the sensation and distress of ...
