  The issue with copyright has become a fierce battlefield among different individuals on the Internet. YouTube particularly has become too strict to different acts of expressing one’s thoughts. Many individuals have been blaming this platform for not discovering some occurrences of copyright even if they are to support the original author. There are lots of opinions around this phenomenon, so let’s get into some details. First of all, I would like to mention the music industry and spreading songs around YouTube. Probably everybody knows situations about reposting parts or even full songs on channels, that don’t have authorship. They will be deleted soon, and a “strike” will be sent to such an account. This procedure is not ideal though. In such cases as intentional commercial use of songs, it is justified but there can be hundreds more situations where this rule is pretty harmful. For example, the intentional appearance of song parts in videos prevents them from being uploaded s...

  People have always been dreaming about the future. Inventions of the that can only be explained now, literature about the futuristic world and things that are related to space invasion can only prove the previous statement. The report of the year 2004 to the Parliament of Finland by Pekka Himanen even though it was written 17 years ago has shown us several development models and some predictions for the future which are close to nowadays situation in the world. First of all, I would like to mention some development strategies that I consider similar to the ones mentioned by Pekka. For example, let’s overview the Singapore model and its trend of moving business production to cheaper countries. As in 2004, the world slightly has changed in locating manufacturing affiliates in such countries as China, India, or Malaysia. Apple, the flagman of the smartphone world is cheapening its industry by assembling iPhones and other products in China. Products of large clothes brands are as wel...

 I think that topic of real-time chat has influenced the whole field of messaging to the extent, that sometimes we can’t even come off our devices using chats nearly all the time. Nowadays, it is pretty hard for us to wait five more seconds for a message to be delivered via Telegram, WhatsApp, or some other messenger due to slow internet somewhere outside. However, more than twenty years ago we were so enthusiastic about waiting even a couple of weeks for a response to our letter. Chats have entered all spheres of our life: work, studies, and relationships with people, so it is pretty hard to find a young person not using this "achievement of technology". Every new invention in the 21 st century tends to improve convenience to an extent, that the only thing we should do is just click several times to ask or reply to someone’s message. It may seem that this trend will lead to unavoidable slothfulness but I think it has only discovered a new horizon for humanity. Numerous pe...

We all understand that technology is developing very fast nowadays. Some mainstream trends that tend to influence manufacturers usually weren’t created at once, they came through decades of evolution and became something like paradigms. Comfort, size, and functionality now have gained control over almost all consumer products, so some items have become extinct or dramatically changed since their invention. The device that I’m going to mention and was fully replaced is a cathode ray tube display. This kind of display was used everywhere: computers and television. But like many technologies in display manufacturing, it has become obsolete due to many parameters. Example of common CRT computer monitor As for its principle, CRT display is a type of display device that uses one or more electron beams to produce images. They feature a layer of phosphor compounds, which serves as the pixel layer. To produce images, CRTs strike the phosphor compounds with electrons. Electrons essentially excit...
