This is a technology's review 
I think it's very funny and it says to us : remember, we have to LOVE books ! They are perfect, and very easy to use
I love reading, because I love touch the paper, smeel the old books, and know that I have "this" book on my personal library !
I'm against reading on I pad or computer 

And you ?

Does technology affect happiness ?



This is an article from New York times 
Today, very early (8 years), children spend a lot of time on face book, internet, nintendo DS...

A study from Standford University ask a question : How is technology affecting children happiness and emotional development ?

It's a study based on girls.
There is two stories, one of a mother, and an other of a 13 years old girl.
The mother says this 13 years old daughter has an Ipad, an Iphone and nintendo DS.
 I think that's not normal, a 13 years old child don't need this things 

1) the mother
She said that yes it's hard to her daughter to communicate face to face, BUT she won't to say to her daughter" use less internet". She thinks : stay connected on social network help her social life.
2) the 13 years old girl
she spends a lot of time on face book to chat with her friends
she saids that it's easy to communicate like that because people don't see your face, your emotions, and they can't hear your voice.

Children are use more and more technologies to talk and stop to communicate face to face 
The scientist can't prove the unhappiness but they can prove the impact on girl who use screen everyday several hours : they are less socially comfortable than other girl.
I think it's important to children development, before and during adolescence, to go out with friends, talk face to face. That's important to develop confidence, with them self and with other.

Technology in ... my opinion




Technology is very actual but very old too. It's internet and computer but it's masonry and gardening too.
It's a science, a know-how developed for one thing.
Technology is a word who extended his sense with the NEWS technologies at 20e century with internet and social network.


Three point :
- The progress, technology is constant evolution, since few years high technologie develops a lot to do things always more fast, with always more facilities.
- Jobs was creating to develop this technology, engineers to computer sciences and workers to machine and manual work. People became specialist of a technology, like bricklayer.
- Generation gap
Like in every family, there is at least ONE person, who understand NOTHING to internet, computers and mobils.
In my family, it's my father. He don't understand the wifi concept, for example, because yes, it's complicated.
Today it's a real handicap if you're not link with the news technologies. More and more things do on internet : reservation, inscription, check his account bank, have informations... 
Today we Need technology.
