Google Contact Lens


                                                                                             GOOGLE CONTACT LENS 

                    Hi everyone, when I heard the new, I was really shocked. I thought it was joke but it was real. Google exaggerated wearable technologic items. They try to create new lenses. This lens is camera and it can shoot videos and images. Moreover, wearing a Google product that sits in front of your eyes is so this year. The search engine would seemingly rather think about the future and something far more direct with contact lens cameras that could help the blind or enhance normal vision. They are ready to get patent but I can't see
any Google Glass so I think they are too fast for me. In addition, people start to use wearing devices and I hope that we won't look like robots in the future.

Blood moon

                           
     

                                                                                                     BLOOD MOON
                         This event occurs 3 times in 500 years. The moon appeared red in April 14-15. It was seen by nearly all American people. They could view with naked eye.The lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth is situated directly between the sun and the full moon. The lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth is situated directly between the sun and the full moon. The moon passes through Earth’s “umber,” making it appear a dark reddish-orange color. Because the Earth is completely obstructing the moon from receiving light from the sun, the light gets there indirectly as it has been filtered and refracted through the atmosphere. On the other hand, when the event happened, solemn wars were occurring such as The Spanish Inquisition and The War of Indepence.
                                  It was really significant event and I was very sad because I couldn't see. The event didn't happen in Turkey. Luckily, NASA broadcasted live on the Internet so we viewed. It was an amazing event. I hope that second blood moon will occur in Turkey and I will not miss. In addition, any war will not occur these years hopefully.

UNBELIEVABLE PICTURE



                                                                                   UNBELIEVABLE PICTURE FROM BOUN
              
                       When I surfed on the Internet, I found this picture and I was shocked. It was really fantastic. This photo was taken by Boğaziçi University students. This accident happened in 2012 in front of the Aptullah Kuran Library. What's person like have this accident? A person achieved an extremely different goal. The person who had an accident might be hangover I didn't know. The cars which didn't have BOUN sticker didn't enter the university, so the person must be attendant, teacher, or student at BOUN. I started worrying about Boğaziçi University's attendants, teachers, and students. On the other hand, this picture went against the rules of Physics :)  I haven't seen this conditions in science-fiction or action films.

COSMOS


                                                                                            COSMOS - A SPACETIME ODYSSEY

                            It is a new documentary on TV channels which are FOX TV and National Geographic. It takes inspire the first Cosmos(1980). Cosmos(1980) was made by Carl Sagan and Neil deGrasse who made Cosmos(2014) Tyson was student near Mr.Sagan. Mr.deGrasse tried to make different way, he reorganized from past to present like calendar. Also human creatures are in the last few hours. It has plenty of issues such as the big bang theory, evolution, became extinct living creatures, etc. Its visual effects are magnificent. In addition, its IMDB point is 9.6 and it was dubbed to Turkish by Haluk Bilginer.
                      I watched first part and it was really fantastic. I criticized only evolution negatively because I don't believe that evolution and I don't convinced.On the other hand, I couldn't keep one's eyes of documentary.

 Private and Public Transportation

Nowadays, there are a lot of transportation choice to go somewhere.  Thanks to the developing technology, these options seem to increase.  All of these choice consist of two categories.  Whereas some of these transportation are private, others are public. Private and public transportation differ from each other in that they offer some different options.

First, the cost in the two types of transportation is different.  Private transportation may be chosen in order to go  to the not too distant place; otherwise, it costs so much money.  On the other hand, the public transportation is not as expensive as private ones. For instance, if a person wants to go to a fifteen km distant place, he/she can choose  public ones in order not to cost so much money.

Secondly, private transportation difers from public ones in that their comforts. One can travel with the private transportation to be more comfortable, because it can be travelled with private transportation alone. The less the people, the more comfortable one may have. Actually, not only private ones but also public ones offers adorable comfortable features. However, unlike private ones, public transportation is overcrowded, so they seems less comfortable than private ones.

Finally, the speed of the two types of transportation system is different. Private transportation system is more advisable to go somewhere in a fast way. However, there is a big traffic problem nowadays.  Therefore, travelling by private transportation can be sometimes as slowly as public ones. Without traffic jam, private ones are faster than public ones, because public transportation has a lot of stopping places to take some passengers.

To sum up,  private and public transportation systems have their own features to consider travelling. Public ones have advanced for many years to be more useful for people thanks to the developing technology. Therefore, both private and public transportation systems approach each other from the point of choice, but they still offer some different options to people.
