Free time

This theme is interesting, because many people used so bad the time: Facebook and theirs applications (for example Restorant City, Country Storing, Roller Coaster, etc.), the videogames (PSP, cellphone, etc.), to watch so much time television (not only “Elisa”), among other things. I think than the leisure time can be a chronic disease because cause idleness, laziness and bad thoughts (out of control, for example when a people stay in front of computer all the time, and this converted in a obsession); in other hand, the stress it is the new illness in this century and somehow the idle time would be a solution and cheap medicine.

The free time need be used wisely, because one idea can be the first step in the any invention process. Julio Cortázar said: "Before going back to sleep I imagined (I saw) a plastic universe, changeable, full of wondrous chance, an elastic sky, a sun that suddenly is missing or remains fixed or changes its shape." This quote shows time well spent.

When I’m unoccupied, I think to change the world. Many thoughts come to my head and needed to process it.

I would like to take this opportunity to tell you about God. I meditate in God and their beauty, because in all time He’s lovely and faithful. A Jude proverb said “Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil”.

TV and Children effect




The article talks about the television and its effect in the childrens: can be a problem to the children brains, and because this cause there are some public politicies for the population. In Australia this regulation is very hard, but in Britain not yet. According to this point, Patrick Barkham comment about the spended time in watch television or playing computer games: five hours and 18 minutes! It is really incredible and horrific data.

The Australian government explain the decision and says respect to the television that “reduce the amount of time they have for active play, social contact with others and chances for language development”. This rason is real: the article descript that our brain increase in volume in the first time of the life, and because this information the babys can’t see TV. "TV killing off neurons and the synaptic connections”.

Well, the article gives data about one and other hand, this theme is a discussion. The scientists do not yet know exactly the TV affects in the children development, but the evidence about the deterioration to the child competence it is clear and alarming.

The note concludes that the goverments can make advertising campaign of fruit and vegetables for the childrens, but depends of the country culture.
