world and life has become very techie,we would forget to even breathe if our gadgets are not update and fully functional.go to a movie and we can see mobiles swtched on at any second ,people donot realise this distracts the innocent audiences attention,makes them even loose their temper.audiences should come well prepared to be away from their gadgets atleast for the duration of the movie,concert,lectures etc.even when the host or guest has requested the audience to switch off their gadgets people can hear phones coming alive.owners are just not ashamed about these incidences.people are degrading themselves.this is the sorry state today.

Invisible Problem- Global Warming

Invisible Problem- Global Warming: "Air Travel
A lot of people have been asking: How is air travel bad? I can't see any air pollution!
Well, actually, there are a lot of pollutants coming out of planes from the engines. The pollution coming out of planes are so, oh, ever so much more than cars and other public transport! Just imagine this. There are about 6,000 commercial planes flying daily. All those planes are dumping more pollutants in the atmosphere. In other words, planes are one of the biggest contributors of global warming. They burn the most fossil fuels on a daily basis. So try and reduce travel with machines and try and travel more with foot"
