4D Technology

Have you heard there are new gadgets waiting for you at the cinema? Have you ever dreamed of being inside a film? THIS IS THE FUTURE!!!

4D cinemas are the latest addition to the film industry. It is a way of involving you not even with images that can not only make you feel the image jumping from the screen, but even making you feel how the scene smells. Moreover, you can feel the chairs vibrating.

With this new technology, a simple take off could be transformed into an almost ''magical'' experience. You would be able to smell the plains fuel burning in the engine, the speed and the shaking of the seats while taking off, the clouds and the birds floating in the sky, the fog and the rain splashing the glass...

Imagine that sensation.

Now that you have imagined the situation, you could be excited about going to a 4D cinema. However, these new technologies are not available for commercial cinemas. In Spain, it is still in project. The creator of this 4D tech is a Korean cinema chain which, after several successes with some well known titles such as Avatar, have opened 3 more 4D cinemas and exported the idea.

Having a Zoo at Home

Having a pet is a marvelous experience for the people who love animals. Everything starts when you buy it. In my case, I had to convince my parents and assume all the responsibilities before. The first two weeks you are very excited because it is something unusual or you have been waiting for it a long time. Then the thrill start to decrease until:

1. You are fed up because you have to look after it more than you expected.
2. It becomes another normal thing in your life.

Turtles, chickens, hens, fish, silk worms, a dog, a rabbit ... these are some of the animals I have had at home.

I'm going to tell you some of my funny anecdotes.  From my turtles I cannot remember so much because I was a baby. However, my mum tells me that they were very big and they used to escape. One of them was eaten by my dog, the other rushed, and we didn't find the last one.

Boj, my dog was always happy and affectionate with us . We taught him to jump, and as he was very clever, he counted, and when he knew that there was nobody at home, he jumped over the fence.

He loved to eat, sometimes he went to the break of the school near my house and ate the snacks  the children gave to him. When it was too cold outside, we let them enter home. One day while we were sleeping, my dog went upstairs, entered the room of my grandparents and licked the hand of my grandmother. She started to shout at him and he went down quickly.

Another time, on my birthday, the sister of one of my friends came also. She liked the aquarium a lot and while we were playing upstairs, she fed them so much that no one survived. We have had lots of fish from all species, even sharks, snails and prawns of warm water. They  are very colourful, nice to see them... however, I find them a little bit boring.

Have you ever had chickens and hens at home? Not at the village, at the city house? Well, the witty idea came from my father. He asked us if we wanted to have some and we answered “yes, of course!”

We built a big wooden henhouse, then we placed it in the garden and... there we were with chickens! Who could imagine it! We obtained three fresh tasty eggs every day. The problem was that they sang very bad at every hour when they became "teen-chickens". So, my father decided to sacrifice them without telling us anything and gave the hens to a farmer. The following Christmas Eve we ate the roasted chicken without knowing it, when we finish dinner, daddy told us the truth and I felt very bad. Poor Kiriko cock!

Finally, I am going to tell you about my last pet: Bambú. He is my toy rabbit, he is not going to grow more. He is 1 year old and he is very naughty. The best amusing thing was when he had just arrived, my friends came to see him. As he was very innocent and little, everybody wanted to have one until he crapped in the hand of one of my friends. 

I really love him, but since he bit my finger, I am more cautious. It is lovely when he is cleaning himself, when he is eating carrots...

I love animals! And you?

Phablets

The market evolves and new products appear day by day. One of these products are phablets, enormous devices which combine smartphones and tablets.

Phablets can be useful in certain situations but the fact is that phablets were originally created to facilitate sketching, note-taking and annotation. However, most of smartphones nowadays can be included in this category.

And this is something that not everybody likes. Because, when a phone becomes too big to carry it comfortably it also becomes unuseful.

Surely there are smaller devices in the actual market, but, in the recent years the concept of smartphone has changed and, despite the fact that it is creating a great controversy, the market has changed too. 

In the past, the smaller and portable a phone was, the better. Nowadays we find phones up to 7 inches which is half a computer screen and exaggeratingly big.

I personally have a 5.5 inches device and however, I’m against phones getting bigger and bigger. As I see it, if we stay like this we will end using phones bigger than us!
