Information Society

Information society is the next step of progress of human civilization. Nowadays what you know is more important than what you have. Knowledge, but not property, became real value, because with right knowledge you can get anything you want. That's why computers became so popular. You can get any information you need without leaving your house! Internet is probably the greatest thing ever invented, and that's what make information society so fantastic. Well, of course Internet connect everybody, and that's why there is no guarantee of your personal data, because of computer hackers and virus creators. But I think you just need to be careful, because there is nothing safe in the whole (not only virtual) world, and that's really sad...

Feedback

It was an interesting lesson today. I've never visited that "Learning English" website before, so it was very informative for me. There are many facts and news from the whole English-speaking world. I'm sure it can be very useful for education.

The word "cheesy"

X: How do you imagine your own wedding?
Z: I would like to wear a beautiful white dress, there should be white pigeons and flowers everywhere, and my husband should carry me on his hands under the sound of some romantic music....
X: OMG how cheesy!
Z: What did you say?!!

Съешь 64-летние консервы и останься жив

Хочешь попробовать?

В конце 40-х годов прошлого века Соединенные Штаты помогали Германии преодолеть тяжелые последствия Второй мировой войны. Запасы еды были необходимы для восстановления, но консервированный свиной жир был далеко не самым приятным блюдом. Зато он долго хранился. Банка с красно-бело-синей этикеткой так и оставалась нетронутой в шкафу Ганса Фельдмайера. Поэтому 87-летний бывший химик решил проверить съедобность этого продукта. 

EGE strikes again?

Fursenko suggest to make ЕГЭ a graduation exam not only for school students but for bachelor students as well. More info

Oh, God, help us!

RIP Megaupload

It's been almost a month since we lost one of the biggest file hosting website. It was the most optimal (apart from torrent-trackers) way to share you files with other people. Unlike the other file hosting services MU had no annoying ad and it let you download all the files you need (music, video, books etc) with great speed.

On January 19 MegaUpload.com has been shut down by federal prosecutors in Virginia. The site’s founder Kim Dotcom and three others were arrested by the police in New Zealand at the request of US authorities (link).

It was all because of SOPA, ACTA, PIPA and other stupid copyright laws, which acronyms sound ridiculous. -_- 

Is it a crime to watch your favourite movie and share your impressions with friends?

I still hope it would be bring back in the future.
