IF I COULD CHANGE THE WORLD... Adrià H. (2n BATX A)

If I could change the world...

There are times that I start thinking something that I could do in my future or in the present too. So yesterday I decided to remember which things I would do if I could change the world.

It’s obvious that nowadays changing the world is very difficult because everything is stablished, I mean, people do their own life without thinking about the impact of these actions. However, if everyone of us does better things the world will change surely.

So, if I could change the world, I would start recycling at home, because it’s very important to reuse material. But unless I don’t have a special paper bean, I won’t be able to do it. Next one is an action I still doing that consists of helping people in Africa. Even though, I’m completely sure that if I won the lottery, I would help more of them. I wish I had started doing this before, but never is late.

Another interesting purpose I would do is to reduce the public transport price tickets provided that people will use it to try to reduce the high levels of pollution. In my opinion, if tickets had been cheaper, people would have taken more frequently the subway or the bus.

I have many ideas on my mind about ways to get a better world, but to be closing, I must highlight one: helping other people. I wish people helps more than they do actually, because if some day we need help, there’s someone that will support us, and that’s very important to keep going with our life.

So, by my point of view, everyone can do something to change the world, the only thing needed is willingness and desire to improve.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO LIVE WITHOUT COMPUTERS? David A. (2 BTX B)

IS IT POSSIBLE TO LIVE WITHOUT COMPUTERS NOWADAYS?

It’s a truth universally acknowledged, that technology goes on every day. Actually, it’s surrounding us right now: computers, cell phones or cameras. All this kind of media communication is becoming more popular and necessary is this “Techworld”.

The first computer called Z1 was built in 1938. It was just an integrated circuit with 22 bits of memory and 1000kg weight. It was used to calculate mathematical operations and simple Physics problems. Over the years, the computing world has absolutely changed. Nowadays, we use computers not only to calculate very complex mathematics calculations but also to many other things such as searching information on the net, playing video games or even buying products entirely online. So, could we live without all these facilities? I don’t think so. Like everything in life has it pros and cons, although, it has more benefits than drawbacks. Companies for instance, use computers for many tasks: producing publicity, selling products, writing emails to distributors and more things. And what about schools? Students need computers to search information about our TR, or send our homework to teachers, print notes and all this stuff.

Social networks are very important right now. Thanks to modern computers it is possible to talk with our relatives that are far from us. Years ago, it was impossible to talk with a person that was on the other side of the world in real time. Computers have changed our lives completely, they are not only machines, they are a brilliant tool to fulfil easier our challenges in life.

I’d like to conclude by saying that as far as I’m concerned, It would be impossible to live without technology, more precisely computers because they are very useful in our day to day, they really help us in a lot of situations, don’t they?
