Surrogates

  The following questions expressing my opinion in as full as possible

The situation we are considering is the possibility that people stay at home but can interact with the world outside through a 'surrogate'

 1. How would people be affected by it?

- to all the world because they use most of the world's population.

 2. How would society, at large, be affected by it?

- serious misfortune, people would not be healthy, would be sick mentally and physically. People would not dare to leave their homes and would have trouble for communicating and communicating.

 3. Do you think real people and machines (surrogates) could be together at work, having fun, etc.?

-No, the surrogates are machines and machines would remove work to humans. And the surrogates they could put some chips softy emotions or emotions simulators.

•  In the not too distant future could be created the surrogates.

Francesca Johnson and Robert Kincaid

  Francesca Johnson and Robert Kincaid were involved in a very intense love affair that lasted 4 days in August 1965. The effects of their short relationship, however, stayed very much alive inside them for the rest of their lives. Robert Kincaid referred to their love as 'the kind of certainty that one only knows once in many lifetimes'.

Francesca could have gone away with Robert. She almost did but resisted her natural impulse thinking how much their children and husband would hurt. She put her family responsability before her once-in-a-lifetime love.

 Was she right to do so? COMMENT.

-In my opinion. I do not think that would have to be this relationship without tell,  they would have to Telling family first and then to do they wanted, If not are not nice.

My favourite spot in Málaga

Where is it?
What is it?
What can you see from it?
When do you go there?Who do you usually go with?
How do you feel when you are there?

 I am going to tell about one of my favourite places in Málaga, is the center and the port. In the center of Málaga you can find the Vialia, the corte inglés, and so on. If you walk you can find many places and plans.

In the port you can visit the shops and see the windows, walk, see the atmosphere of the port, drink a drunk, watching the sea and the boats... many things.
