Nowadays more and more people are getting interested in customs and traditions of different countries. What do you think about it?
"So many countries so many customs" an English proverb says.
By comparing customs and cultures of people from other countries, we can learn how others view the world and why they think the way they do. By understanding others, we can not only form deeper relationship with others but can also learn more about ourselves and our own culture.

Let’s talk about science and modem technologies.
What role does science play in our life?
We live in the age of science and technology. The life of every one of us highly depends on the scientific inventions and modem technologies. Science has changed the lives of people to a great extent. It has made life easy, simple and fast. In the new era, the science development has become a necessity to finish the era of bullock cart and bring the trend of motorized vehicles. Science and technologies have been implemented to every aspect of modernization in every nation. Modem gadgets have been introduced to every walk of life and have solved many problems in such sectors as medicine, education, infrastructure, electricity, aviation, information technology and other fields.
Some examples of the advancement in the technologies are establishment of railway system, metro system, railway reservation system, super computers, mobiles, smart phones, online access of people in almost every area, etc.
The technological revolutions of the 21st century are emerging from entirely new sectors, based on micro-processors, tele-communications, biotechnology and nano-technology. Products are transforming business practices across the economy, as well as the lives of all who have access to their effects. The most remarkable breakthroughs will come from the interaction of insights and applications arising when these technologies converge.
But science and technology also have a negative side which affects human lives. If we look around the environment, most places are crowded and polluted due to the development of large buildings, factories and plants, which are all hazardous to our health.
Do you use many gadgets and devices at home?
Yes, I do. In frequent use is a modem TV, a microwave, an oven, a laptop, an I-pad and a mobile. In my opinion new gadgets make our life easier. For example, everybody owns at least a basic mobile phone today. What makes it easy to use is its user-friendly nature, small size and its numerous attractive features. However, people are always eager to replace their mobile phones with the latest models having more advanced features. As the technology is scaling new heights, mobile phones are becoming cheaper and cheaper and the customer is getting more for less. A great way of amusing yourself is by playing games on your mobile phone. If you want to store your precious moments, you can use its video recording feature. Mobile phones can become expressions of who we are by getting mobile ringtones, wallpapers, which turn your phone into a unique device.
