Tech bans: Mobiles ban in the schools of the Netherlands from year 2024
Education system in the Netherlands is under strong supervision of the state, which has many powers in the education because it also mostly finances it. It offers different education methods and paths, but it also enforces strict discipline bound to the schools. And mobile devices became so disliked by the schools pursuing primary and secondary education, that they were banned in their buildings.

Medias were flashed recently with a news about the production recovery of the legendary push button Nokia mobile phones. It is not about the original ones,
of course, but their imitation with new software. It is not as open as in the smart phones, that's why so equipped phones are called feature phones.
Thus they are supplemented with some features of smart phones. Behind the presented intention to offer new functions even in the lowest price phone category
is something else hidden. To learn to use only the functions of selected feudals, because others are simply not available.

 Technology datbox - the end of computer feudalism
In the last years the biggest computer companies succeeded in enforcing the way of data processing called cloud.
They want the users to store all their data in the clouds without caring about where they are physically situated and how are they processed.
The reward for that are different types of services offered above these data, but the data is used by the cloud company also for its purposes,
especially targeting paid advertising. It is the return to the wooden times of the computer beginnings, so called hall computers,
which centrally processed the tasks for all in the vicinity, because it was very expensive to get a computer.
With the arrival of personal computer PC this concept became obsolete. Internet meant the formation of big web servers,
which again revived the concept of central service provider. Their income was mostly created by selling the advertising.
As they grew and knew more about its users they became such new age feudals competing for who is bigger and absorbs others.
The datbox technology brings a possible solution to this feudal establishment and creating of a democratic decentralized system.
The users don't store their data directly to their feudal master, but to independent data entities, so called datboxes.
Using datbox manager they choose which service providers can use their data and have detailed control over their usage
and can revoke their consent anytime.

 The legendary aircraft Douglas DC-6 will be renovated
The Douglas DC-6 meant fundamental change in the civil aviation after second world war. Its long range and reliability cleared the way for nonstop
intercontinental flights as we know them today. It represents also the last phase of classic piston engines in air traffic after which the age
of turbine engines had come. Its four eighteen cylinder double radial engines gurgle gorgeously like a big volume american car or motorcycle and also that
is why this aircraft became the symbol of new afterwar free age of unlimited worldwide mobility. From several hundred units produced remained only two
able to operate until today. The demanding maintenance of such a complicated machine cannot afford just anyone. The care of the first one took the
Red Bull company and after ten thousands of renovation hours is today the decoration of their fleet and it is possible to see it often on European
airports with the matriculation OE-LDM. The second of them with the matriculation V5-NCG had long uncertain fate because it was standing since 2010
on the Eros airport near the capital Windhoek in Namibia after the death of its owner. Just in May 2018 it took off again from the airport and headed
to its new owner in America, who decided to renovate it.

 Barkas - a legend from the DDR
At the times of the German Democratic Republic, in the period of the central planning, an utility vehicle with the eerie name Barkas dominated those roads. It took many shapes on it, figured in many roles and thus became a legend. It was not a hero, but because it was the only one, the people simply had to live with it.

 New identity card in Germany has functions for the Internet
Along with the move of many business, official and other important activities on the Internet, the problem how to trustworthily identify a person must be solved. There already exist many technical solutions of this problem, however only few of them got to the level of a means used by the state. The compulsory means of identification of every man in many states is the identity card. But its classical paper or plastic form is difficult for processing in a computer. That is why Germany decided to add a chip to the new identity card, which allows easy cooperation with a computer. But it is not the contact chip used on payment cards, for example, but it is a contactless chip, well known as a protection of goods against theft in shops, for example. It poses a possible risk, because the state or any person with proper equipment could without notice remotely determine the identity of people.

 The life of a worker - slave making modern "toys" for the "free"
People living in "free" western countries are still allured by the advertising to buy all those amazing smartphones, tablets, notebooks, consoles, etc. from well or less known companies. Mainly younger people consider these products as the sign of their status. When buying one should also look at where these products come from, because many companies use for their manufacturing slave work, in many cases also child. Such slavery is even more dangerous, because it is not as visible as in the previous centuries. Although people are not the loot of violent war invasions any more, they are not dragged to slave markets nor transported in shackles on deadly marches to their new lords. Today the methods have advanced and thus people are forced mainly politically, economically and psychologically. The impasses of these people often end with a suicide. So let's look what is the life of a young man - slave in a huge Chinese factory like, which is producing "toys" for the "free" young people.

 The fuel of the future could be hydrogen nanoliquid
The scientists are still intensively interested in possible replacements of oil fuels. They are lead by many known reasons, for example the possible early resources exhaustion, still more complicated acquisition because of political and technical reasons, harmful exhaust within combustion, etc. Even from the ethical point of view it is a problem to burn such a precious natural resource, which has developed for millions of years and thus its utilisation should be much better considered. However the replacement for autonomous means of transport is difficult to find, because nothing else so easily storable, usable and energetically rich can be found in the nature. But the nanotechnologies could be the hope, which simply said are able to overcome some natural laws and might be able to create from energetically rich and well usable but eminently difficult to store and dangerous hydrogen a substance, that would be as easy to handle as oil fuels.

 2011 International CES: consumer electronics show
The beginning of every year is already traditionally connected with the biggest consumer electronics exhibition in the world. Powerful companies from this industry present here, how they imagine the behaviour of their customers and show them their news. Year 2011 is mainly influenced by the mania with the grey economy of personal data in the form of so called social networks, mobile platforms living from targeted advertising based on personal data of its users, etc. Big american companies want to take people their freedom of a personal computer and their data, they want it all to run themselves by providing services. They even talk about the death of a personal computer. Will it be murder, suicide or the users will not accept it?

 The longest underground transport tunnel in the world has been put through
The Swiss company AlpTransit Gotthard AG has announced the put through of the railway tunnel which is 57 km long. It is the fulfilment of the dream which came into existence in 1947, when Carl Eduard Gruner drawed the first vision of the tunnel. The work on the tunnel began after many years of discussions in 1996. But the start of commercial transport is still far away, it is planned in 2017.
