Technology fast

In this month, I had give up the internet, mobile phone and email for 2 days. This is a assignment about non-electronica. It is very interesting, but I think this is really not going to be easy. In the two days, i had try my best to keep far away the internet, mobile phone and email.

At the first day, I left my phone at home and went to college. But when I arrived class, I got notice that the class was unavailable. And then, I want to told my friend, but I found I hang off the phone. The phone is very close with me. When I left the phone, it is diffcult to communite with my friends and family. After the two days, I opened the phone again I got many miss call from my friends.

At the second day, I also gave up its. I had a meeting with a lecturer. But her office was close when I arrived college. I waited at there about half hour, I didn't meet her. After the day I have checked my email. And I got her mail, she said she had change the meeting for other day. OMG! That is a result for the try.

The internet, mobile phone and email are control my life which I think it is piece of cake for me. throught this two days, I know its are important for me. If I had leave these I can't take the usual life. But I think that is a good activity for us. We should try to leave technology sometimes.

Global alcohol consumption

The world drank the equivalent of 6.1 litres of pure alcohol per person in 2005, according to a report from the World Health Organisation published on February 11th. The biggest boozers are found in Europe and in the former Soviet states. Moldovans are the most bibulous, getting through 18.2 litres each, nearly 2 litres more than the Czechs in second place. Over 10 litres of a Moldovan's annual intake is reckoned to be 'unrecorded'  home-brewed liquor, making it particularly harmful to health. Such moonshine accounts for almost 30% of the world's drinking. The WHO estimates that alcohol results in 2.5m deaths a year, more than AIDS or tuberculosis. In Russia and its former satellite states one in five male deaths is caused by drink.
