A road to a brighter future

In the last two hundred years, the world population has threatened our world's environment! If this serious problem continues, it will lead to extinction of all the life on it! Our mother, Earth, is not to blame for this tragedy, we are! Now we must fix our mistake! With the help of our new technologies, we can change the future and if we do, we are saving all of the Earth's beauty and its life!

These are some of the things that our new technologies can do to prevent our planet's death:

* Build some machines that eleminate the CO2 emitions;

* Use high technology filters to purify polluted waters;

* Use new technologies as fuels that are non pollutive and that will never be extinguished;

* Preserve all kinds of life on Earth, using hight technology if necessary, because they are all a part of it.

If we work hard, using all of our capacities, there will be a brighter future waiting for us!

Dangerous jobs

There are many jobs in our country, which three are dangerous:

* Lifeguard swimmer;
* Fisherman;
* Airplane pilot.


Lifeguard swimmer:

A lifeguard swimmer has a very important role in the guard of beaches and pools, as he ensures the well being of people in the sea or in pools.

To pursue this profession you need:

* to swim very well;
* the course of advising swimmers savior, which includes knowing when it's safe or not to take any action;
* pursue a course of first-aid, in the event of any animal bites, burns and if anyone feels bad.


Fisherman:

A fisherman has an important role for the people, because he brings food (fish) to the markets. Without fishermens our diet wouldn't be so healthy! Yes, fish consumption has very important factor in our health.
But this job is also at risk because it's practiced in the sea where a storm might occur, provoking shipwrecks.

Airplane pilot:

An airplane pilot has a leading position in the course of an air trip, but it is also a dangerous job, because in the course of a trip, a technical problem can occur, or even a terrorist act, which sometimes leads to death of many people.

These three professions are dangerous as many others, but the attitudes and actions of lifeguard swimmers who save lives, airplane pilots, that move in leisure or work, and the fishermens who bring us one of the essential goods in our diet, contribute to the quality of life and the welfare of the population.

For the people that need some help with discrimination at work...

I'm posting this in the hope of help the people that doesn't know how to overcome this problem. I hope it can be useful :)

Here're some ways:

Let's do this together, because the union builds our strenght!

Discrimination at Work

Everyone has the right to be treated equally and fairly when it comes to employment but sadly that's still not the case nowadays!

Why is this discrimination?
Here are some possible reasons:

* Envy;
* Competition;
* Bad social formation by the discriminator.


In the last one, we can incorporate these types of discrimination:

* Race;
* Religion;
* Gender;
* Sexual Orientation;
* Disability.




Now... How do we deal with this?

Since discrimination is a very serious matter which could end up in an employment tribunal or court, people shouldn't let this go further!
If someone feels discriminated against, that persone must try and keep a record of any incidents, then make a complaint, contact your trade union and seek legal advice.

Stress at work

The excessive stress at work is getting nore nowadays. This is caused by high demand and low field of work, low salarys, lack of social recognition and limited career prospects from the company to the workers effort.

These obligations and tensions in the workplace are often the cause of many health problems, such as an increase of cholesterol in the blood and the person's weight, high blood pressure and death from cardiovascular attacks. The excessive stress may also lead to the consumption of alcohol, tobacco, drugs. Therefore, to avoid all these problems you should create a good relationship between co-workers and boss.

She is teacher but working in an office...

Many young people think, dream and wish to take a degree to be someone in life and, maybe later, give to their children what their parents couldn't gave them. I have an example in my family that ... My cousin is now 29 years old, took the place of teacher of the first cycle about five years ago, yet only three years he taught school, one was in the Azores, sometimes the despair is all that anyone sends its curriculum for any site that is to work. As I said before, she is a teacher of the first cycle and was for a short period of time working in a clothing store, but no rent was working for an office. Is it relevant take a course in unemployment is higher and it is known there for how long?

Studying and working at the same time

Today it is very common and a teenager studying while working. Many of them work during the day and studying at night, or, studying during the day and when exit from school early and go to work, or for coffee or for supermarkets, so it is called part-time.
Many young people do it to help families who do not always have means to pay for tuition or by choice; it is a bit difficult today.
The part-time are more common in America, England, Canada, etc ... In Portugal; it is a bit difficult to get a part-time. The Portuguese teenagers prefer to work during the holidays in a large supermarket or a kiosk on a beach. In my opinion, it is important for a young starting 16 or 17 years to begin work during the holidays, I speak in my case that during the holiday of Christmas was to work in a shop and it seems to me did not live with others and learn speak properly.

Musicians of the Future

Do you imagine that robots can be the musicians of the future?
I was searching on the net and I found somethings that involve robots and the music... it's quite weird to listen to a robot singing and playing the music but as we can see day by day machines are being developped and some robots are created... so robots are stealing job that humans do and the unemployment is growing up because of that machines.
If I saw a robot that can sing or play a instrument i would say that it is an impossible thing... But watch this video.





So, do you think that it's impossible? So be prepared to the future and the new musicians... The Robots!

Advantages of Having a Robot at Home in the Future

The advantages of having a robot at home in the future is:
-They do everything that we say, like, "hey robot clean the house"; " Prepare my lunch".
-They are an artificial intelligence, in other works, they are programmed to respect us.
-Robots can protect us from some kind of dangers.
-They will be an important thing on the future, so it's an advantage to have your own robot.
-They can be our friends, we can talk with them and to tell secrets, because he will not tell anyone.
-They do the things instead of you much better and faster because their accuracy to do the things is very high.

I found two disvantages of having a robot that is:
- They are very expensive, so it's hard to have one nowadays with this crisis.
- When you buy a robot in a moment two weeks later will appear a robot much better that do more things, so it will be always and old thing and expensive.

How to work with the New Machines

As I said on my last post technology are developping new machines and how we will work with it? How old people will work with it?

Sometimes it's harder to teens work with some machines i don't imagine with old people that cannot understand the technology better than teenagers. On the world of the work a lot of new machines are appearing and we must be prepared to work up with that revolutionary technology.

How? Developpers of that kind of technology should offer some classes to work with it and to explain the functions of machines because sometimes people have for example a mobile phone with a camera and radio and the person only knows to use the camera. We must know all the types of functions of that new technology.

Working on the Future

Jobs on the future will be more sophisticated. As we can notice technologie are developping a lot of machines to make nowadays jobs easiers.
On the future I think that machines will earn money to work, it seems to be such a stupid thing, but if they do all the work instead of humans how will we earn money if we don't work as a robot that can do things much better than humans?
Nice question... I was thinking about this... but maybe we can buy a robot and we receive the money of that robot, because they work on our place.
This technology is very very sophisticated to create robots to all the jobs that exists, maybe on the year 2040 it appens... but now we don't have that robots but we have machines that make our job easier, and year by year will appear new and better machines to help us working.

My dream job

I would like to be geography teacher, or any other profession that involves geography. Nonetheless, one should think twice before choosing the path of education, because it is very difficult to be a teacher nowadays. However, some people hope to become a teacher, including me. I have never quitted what I want to be, my family’s and best friends´ support is all I need to go ahead with my choice and not feel alone.

Work at home

Nowadays, with the advance of technologies, there are many people that work at home for many reasons, such as dealing with their children or something of the sort. According to people who have experience with it, it's a good option and there's no need to leave the house, people can work in their own pyjamas! In my opinion, work at home is a very good solution for those who have small children and want to spend more time with them, instead of pay to a nanny.

The new technologies in our work

Over the years, people have felt the need to evolve, to improve their work. For this to happen, there was a great insistance on the improvement of technologies, so that the work on the part of workers has a better quality and that be more profitable.


With this improvement of the technologies, new jobs and functions, as workers, were created. Now, people can work at home in many kinds of jobs.


For exemple...

* if dialog is needed, people can make a videoconference to do it;
* or there's still the possibility to send the work made at home via internet, so that their tasks at home can be solved;
* it can even be used in the improvement of the education in the next generations, like new ways of doing research or new kinds of classes... it might be an even more produtive and interesting way to learn that in school or on it!


Besides of the improvement of the work quality and profity, these new technologies will allow a better quality of life, where the stress of everyday is reduced.





Now we know... Hard work and dedication will lead to a better present and with the help of the new technologies, an even better future! =)
