Drones and how they impacted the world

 Drones have been around since 1917, when Peter Cooper and Elmer A. Sperry invented the first automatic gyroscopic stabilizer, which straightens and levels out aircraft during flight. Their technology was used to create unmanned planes, but they were never used. Since then this concept has spread out around the world and many different types of drones have been made. Military drones also called UAV's (unmanned aerial vehicle) are now widely used to perform missions such as looking for someone or attacking enemies. They are typically shaped like a plane but all the windows are usually missing and have extra elements like cameras or sensors. The second type of drones are very different and are not used by the military, they're the ones that we might sometimes see flying above our heads. They typically have a couple rotors which give them the ability to fly and hover in the air. These drones are used for many things like taking photos, videos or in the future deliver packages to us. The use of helicopters during professional film making is almost completely obsolete because using drones is much easier and affordable. But this technology has done a lot of issues with privacy or trespassing causing the law to ban using drones in some places.

    Heathrow Airport in London came to a standstill recently after a drone was spotted near the runway. Yet another issue to resolve.

Inappropriate KFC promotion

  On the 9th of November in Germany there is an anniversary of the Kristallnacht - the night in 1938 where Nazi-led attacks destroyed over 90 Jewish-owned businesses. On this day there are many memorial events reflecting Nazi Germany and their actions in WW2. Every person which had the KFC app installed or had other notifications from KFC was sent a message saying  "It's memorial day for Kristallnacht! Treat yourself with more tender cheese on your crispy chicken. Now at KFCheese!". An hour after this event KFC removed the message, apologised for it and blamed the automatic system which they use for sending notifications for holidays or other events. I think that this is sort of a funny mishap but not the historical event of course. This also shows how companies such as KFC use special occasions to make some extra money. They make promotions or ads which make more people to buy their products because it's a special day or maybe a good deal. I think that they shouldn...

Cryptocurrency and crypto mining

 Cryptocurrency is a payment method that doesn't include banks. It's only available digitally and is stored in special cryptocurrency wallets that only a owner of it has access. The name is taken from encryptions that are used to verify transactions which are made from using them as a payment method. A lot of very advanced coding is required to make it transferrable between different cryptocurrency wallets. Unfortunately cryptocurrencies don't have a stable price which means that a price of a cryptocurrency can change rapidly that can increase or decrease. A good example of a cryptocurrency is Bitcoin which was founded in 2009 as the first cryptocurrency. It's currently the most known in the world and one of the most expensive ones. The original price of Bitcoin was just 0.0008$ and in these days a common price for it is over 40 thousand dollars. A method of getting cryptocurrency without buying it is called crypto mining. Crypto mining is a process that uses a computer...

COVID-19 in China

 Three years ago the COVID-19 pandemic started in Wuhan, China. Not long after the virus spread out all around the world and killed many people while doing it. Since then most countries have adapted and almost overcome the crisis and so was thought China. But unfortunately their regulations and vaccination rates were going lower and lower which made the virus there stronger than ever. China has recently set a new no-covid policy which basically restricted it's citizens to leave their houses. They even have welded shut many apartment entrances with metal to make sure it's residents follow the new rules. But a couple days ago this idea was shown to be dangerous as almost a whole building was burnt down that resulted in deaths of more than 10 people. Since then Chinese citizens have started to protest the extremist ruling of the government and protest other aspects of their politics.  I think that the Chinese government is not good for it's people. They have shown in the past ...
