Bonjour à tous!
Rapide retour sur l'investiture du si attendu nouveau président des United States of America. J'ai assisté au speech de sa prise de fonction (inauguration en anglais "républicain", enfin démocrate pour le coup!) à l'université avec énormément d'étudiants venu hurler "Barack! Barack! Yes we can! Yes we can!".
Hello Everyone!
Quick follow-up re the inauguration of the long-awaited new president of the US of A. I cheered and supported Barack at Georgia State University for his inauguration speech along with an electrified crowd yelling "Barack! Barack! Yes we can! Yes we can!".

Une photo prise (pas par moi malheureusement) lors d'une de ses apparitions publiques soulève un intéressant dilemme pour lequel j'attends votre opinion :
I stumbled upon a photo (which I unfortunately haven't taken) of one of Obama's many public appearances. This photo raises an interesting dilemma for which I'd like to have your opinion:
La technologie c'est formidable mais n'oublions-nous pas de vivre?
Technology is great but are we forgetting to live?
Technology is great but are we forgetting to live?

Je ne sais pas si on oublie de vivre, mais en tout cas le mec au troisième rang partant de la fin sur la droite de l'image doit se mordre les doigts d'avoir oublié son appareil photo !!
Pas beaucoup d'iPhone dans le lot...
Enfin bon les "ensemble tout devient possible", on a déjà donné, on veut de l'inédit!
Pour ton cyber-débat, je dirais que les photos sur flickr sont globalement meilleures que celles qu'on prend soit même. Alors je ne prends plus de photo, malin!
Et comme ca je re-vis! ;)
belle cravate sur le profil...
Ne sois pas jaloux. Il n'est pas obligatoire d'être dans la vie active pour apprécier une cravate bien nouée!
how about instead, let's jump 100 years from now. You'll have time machine and teleporter in you living room. One minute you're in 1920's Paris the next you're 2020's Jakarta next thing you're stuck in the middle of the holy war.
We used to be - and currently - living in a time where people appreciate mystery, history and the experience on knowing the unknown. Would that urge still exist 100 years from now where you can practically unlock anything that you want?. And by that, are we forgetting to live?.
The answer of your paradox, again, lies within the beholder. But IMO, the essence of living is to embrace luxury - what constitutes luxury is what constitutes scarcity, and technology, to this extent, have the power to eliminate scarcity because we are now able to pretty much get what we want instantly. This bring us to a two folds issue. One, The easier we get, easier we forget. Simply put, there is no more great love story- the happy ever kind of thing occurred after the internet era. Two, I stumble upon this article when giving you this comments. The emerging trend nowadays is for people to live the eco-ncierge way. People value the "old" way of living because it gives them back their essence of living. The sense of achieving. Social diving. go hobo. write handwritten letters. All in all, despite its greatness, technology has take us further from being human. It brings us to a point where there's never such thing as enough because we always have to keep up, and it makes us forget that human did survive for thousands and thousands of year without it, and now, it seems like one just can't live without it. And I still do skype every night.
