Post # 8: Free Time and Technology

Technology have a very important place in the dairy life, because they simplify our life with simple but complex things at the same time. There are a lot of things that we can use all the time, like mp3, mp4, pen drives, laptops, palms etc. And in other spaces we have washing machine, wash dishes, etc.
The problem is that people think that technology will save our life, but they forget some important things. For example, if you are all the time at your home staying connected in internet, you wouldn’t’ t have the opportunity to get out and meet other people in real life, you can’t feel the sun, the rain, the air, and you miss opportunities to do new things, go to the parks, go to eat an ice cream with your friends, etc.
I think I don’t have so much free time right now, I think I use 3 hours in a day because in university time I have so much work to do, like tests, or extra program things, like go to seminaries and things like that. On weekend, I “took” Saturday for myself and I to things like go out with my boyfriend and my friends to many places, like parks, expositions, the mall, the cinema, and go to eat something like ice cream, fried potatoes, or things that we cook together, like pasta or a new invention.
In other way, when I have a big free time like vacation time I like to stay at the computer playing games or talking with my friends, see online movies and if I have so much free time I like to read a good book, or do handmade things, like hair accessories or painting or useful things. One day I do a cork board with a draw and a little paper box where you can put pencils, rubbers, and other office things. I like to travel too, and go to visit my grandparents or visit to my boyfriend’s sister or go to the beach, or visit friends who lives out of the city, or go to meet other places.
If I have more free time I will read more, because I love Latin-American literature, and I have a lot of books that I can’t read it yet!
But, vacations are coming, and I will do all those things, and that makes me feel very happy! :D

Post # 7: summary from a career-related article from The Guardian

“Rise in unemployment less than expected”
The article talks about the unemployment at the UK, probably for the consequences of the economic crisis. The economist expecting was wrong, and 1.6268 million people are unemployed. This number it’s the high since April 97, and the people are talking about the benefits that the government have to give it to them. This information was delivered by de The Office of National Statistics (ONS). In other words, the people out of work ascend to 7.9%.
For other way, the economists are optimists, because they think that the recession would pass soon, and the economy will giving jobs, "until the economy is growing back at potential or above, and that is still some way off", how tells Alan Clarke of BNP Paribas
But people just want work or benefits to live, and they are claming for this above six months.
In other case, there are people that think that the business have to recovered first, because are so many firms that are fighting for surviving yet.
Alan Tomlinson said that the cash flow are uncertain and the companies have to dismiss people to stay at the market.
But other problem are the age of the most unemployed 16-24 years old, because this generation are becoming a “lost generation”. The firms don’t have money to hire for complacency, they need the fair and necessary employees.
In conclusion, they need to end the unemployment, because they are missing big talents and people who have the ability to do things for their country.
"Every one of those unemployed is a real person with real talents that can make a difference to this country.", Martina Millburn, chief executive of “the Prince’s Trust
