V for Vendetta!

Computers have made the world a better place.

It’s evidence that the computers make better the world; we only have to do think in the world before of the computers.

On one hand, the computers make more easy the work, they let control the machines and the companies have to have the minimal workers to control the computers. It’s one advantage to win more money. Also, they can keep a lot of information in a minimum space, not as the books. And if we can develop specific programmes we can apply in a lot of other things and sciences.

On the other hand, the computers don’t let develop more the intelligent of the people. More over they spent a lot of first matters like the mercury or plastic, that comes fo the petrol: nowadays is expensive because there aren’t a lot.

In conclusion, I think that the computers are a good instrument for the society and the world to do a lot of things.

Is humour necessay to survive?

Humour is a quality which takes a lot of importance in our daily life.
For exemple, when you have sot bad experiences, different types of humour like laughing a little bit helps you a lot to forget the bad experiences, and it will help you to fell better. Also, people who tend to smile more than others seem more positive and it semms that they are the bosses of the world, because it seems like bad things can it affect them. Finally,¡ it's confirmed and proved that people work better if they are in a good mood that in a bad one. And this can be confirmed, because I've proved it a lot of times.
Although humour is a a great sense there're some situations where you can't laugh and you have to take the things serious because they aren't funny.
In conclusion, I believe that humour is essential in our life to survive, but we've to take care in some situations because it isn't always appropiate to take things in a funny way.

(Eudald)

Wel, the technology:
In relation with the previous thing, the industrial revolution was still in development and there are machines that made more easy the work.
But in the houses there isn't a technology as the electricity, domestic devices, cars, and all the commodities that we can have nowadays(/today:in the moment I corrected).

Hear you can see a horses cart of the 19th century.

(...)

Housing:
In general, the houses of 19th century were big, with a lot of rooms and windows, one only for the lecture, the ceilling was high, and normally was plenty of decoration: paintings, furniture, etc.(bad pronunciation of two words)
Also, there were gardens in front of the entrance with a lot of plants or trees.
But that could be different deppending on the propiety house anies of poor people, like te family Bennet, or rich people that had a lot of luxury, having more bedrooms and breds and bigger gardens.
We can see in the Charlote's house and the information that say Mr. Collins when tehy arrive to the house that the windows was expensive, they have one bred for person...(some interruptions)
Normally, this houses were in the fields or around the cities, but in the cities there were apartments, normally smalls, where the poor(break)people lives and who worked in the factories.

(...)

In the 19th century the clothes were different: apart from cotton shirts, the men's clothes were trausers, waistcoats and coats/jacket. The people usually wore hats. The wealthy men wore top hats, like Mr Darcy. The people... The middle class men wore bowler hats and working men wore cloth caps like the breds of the house of Bennets.
The women wore light dresses(bad pronunciation), and broad skirts. Also, the women started wearing underwear, "roba interior".

The countries and the crisis


The G20 want make a economic plan to confront the crisis.

But, divisions have emerged between Europe, which wants stricter market rules, and the US and other countries, which prefer more moderate reforms.

the president Bush said "This problem did not develop overnight and it will not be solved overnight, but with continued cooperation and determination it will be solved,", but Europe and the other important countries don't want quick solutions.


So, the negotiations continue!
