The more time people are spending engrossed in video games, talking to friends online and watching funny cat videos on YouTube, they are spending less time being active or exercising. Also the likelihood of mindlessly eating unhealthy food increases as people are hypnotized by the latest episode of Honey Boo Boo.
Technology is not an obstacle to such activities. Being sports and social is a condition that depends on the person himself. Along with the widespread use of the Internet, there has been a significant increase in information sharing. Someone who wants to play sports on the internet can quickly find information about it. To me, technology is contributing to the greater application of such activities. But people need to have a desire to do it in. You are both right about what you said. Most people tend to sit by there personal computer and hang on internet, either that is social site or Youtube or maybe something else, but truth is that people spend too much time at computers. And yes technology is not direct obstacle, but people have hard time separating them self from it. Where ever you turn there it is, and only people with stronger personality can make that decision come true. Its same with smoking, and other addictions. |

If you speak English what other language do you want to learn and why, may I ask.
English is a widely spoken language in the world. But chinese is used too much in language like spanish. I want to learn chinese. I want to know about Chinese culture and history. Chinese is good to learn for business, you can even get good salary job with it. It is hard to learn language like chinese, especially if you start from scratch. I recommend official schools, and it will take probably years until you master it. Yes, learning Chinese is a bit more difficult than in other languages. Even people in different parts of China may not understand each other. The alphabet they use is very different. Someone who is accustomed to Latin letters may find it difficult to learn Chinese letters. But china is a very old civilization. I want to get to know this civilization more closely. Yes you are right about chinese language and its difficult than other languages. And i dont want to speak about difference of parts of China and not understanding. I had work with Chinese people and all i learned is to say Hello  . China have realy large history, but I am more interested in Japan. I think that Japan is more beautiful than China, but that is me . Japan has developed especially after the nagasaki incident. Japanese culture attracts me. In general, I am curious about far east countries. You all have an old history. There are so many countries to visit and see in the world. Every country has its own history. I guess life is not enough to see it all  What make east Asia countries fascination is the thing that they was isolated from Europe for long time. History of those countries is so rich and so big that people spend quite some time learning it. But i my self is more interested in Japan, more than i China. China have richer history, but still i love Japan more . |

Bitcoin mining is a costly business. If you do not have enough capital, it will not be profitable. Nowadays miners are carrying out their expenses by minimizing their costs.
But difficulty of the mining business does not adversely affect the use of bitcoin. If somebody leave mining, the level of difficulty decreases. Then mining would be less costly.
You are totally right there, if someone leave mining bitcoin percentage of mining will rise. But i don't think that someone that invested a lot of money, and for mining to be pay off you need really good computer, they won't leave mining bitcoin so easily. I have heard that mining in this days are too hard, and it doesn't pay off. I was thinking to mine, but when i find out what you need, i don't have that much money... |

I agree, it is low chance that United States will have quarrel with Russia, and that they will start World War III. But I'm not sure about China and United States tho. I lack information about how things are going in between those two countries. But I don't think that either China or United States would want war with other countries.
I am concerned about the Taiwan issue. Now tensions seems to have cooled down, after Trump confirmed that he respects the one-China policy. But they can re-ignite anytime. China is surrounded by the US bases, in countries such as Japan, South Korea, Philippines.etc. If a confrontation with the US happen, then the Chinese cities will be converted to rubble in a matter of hours. And since the mainland US is tens of thosuands of kms away, not many American lives are going to get lost. Hmm that sound like something that people should be careful with. But i must admit that i don't know much about world politics, don't have too much free time so that i would follow world news. But it is good from time to time to learn what is happening in the world . There is too much disagreements in the world. LOL... in the history of the mankind, there were always disagreements and conflicts. And this is going to continue in the near future as well. Even if the entire world comes under a single jurisdiction, conflicts will occur. You are right there friend, there will always be disagreements and conflicts. But i think that in future human race will learn to overcome most of things that make us fight each other. In this day and age most of problems comes with religion and there is i think biggest problem, after that i think is racism, and after that is human need for power and greed. But i think and hope that people will over come such things in future. |

i make money by uploading video on youtube daily, banner ads on my website.
You earn money on the fact that advertising banners on your page visitors look, but unfortunately people do it very rarely. I tried such variant of earnings but I can't do anything. Much money did not earn, and time spent very much. Well advertising is one of best way to earn money by doing nothing, and i mean with banners and marketing on your website. But for person to achieve that possibility one must make really good and visited website. When you have popular website, people will come to you for advertising. But it is really hard to make good website. |

Technology has its advantage and disadvantage but its uses will definitely depends on the users of it. if you abuse yourself it is your fault balance your life .Teach your son ,siblings or other don't abuse the technology .
Yeah, the only disadvantage that technology effects are it made human lazy to do work, because modern technology teach humans to do easy jobs and there is no hardwork are practice, so the effect are many people always complaining for every problem that they encountered. besides that technology is good due to improving the modernization of human But you forget. People are made to work. If they don't work, they ultimately stagnate and die. It is then that the robots will take over the world.  Seeing this chat I also have a new thought, more and more days development of technology is increasing even now becoming more sophisticated. Now almost all the factory uses robots to work, even now many robots created as waiters, maids, guards ticket, etc. If someone is lazy and does not want to learn or attempt then in the future they will not compete with the robot. Whether this includes good or bad, the impact of this technology will increase unemployment because of lack of jobs. I don't agree that is the waiters and bartenders were robots. In bars people go to drink alcohol, and communication. No robot can replace a living person. Although the factories robots may replace workers. This is already happening. In China and Japan have some restaurants that employ a robot to note and deliver orders. Additionally a robot maid already exist in some countries, although not yet widely sold. You can find information on the internet and you will find a lot. And indeed all the factories are already using robots to be more efficient, the negative impact was also clear ie subtraction of workers / dismissal so that jobs are limited. I think this is the negative impact of technology is inevitable. It is truth that more and more robots are working instead of humans, and in some way that is right thing to do. Because there isnt human that can work as much as machine, people need rest and robots dont. If they are programmed right, they could do almost anything that human can. But i also agree that robot will never replace bartenders. Yes true many companies or factories that use robots because they can work all day without rest and so that production can be very fast, and besides it can suppress the larger expenditure so that profits can be increased. It is very efficient but the negative impact such as I described earlier is wiil high unemployment. In the future, human demands will be even greater in order not to lose in the competition with technology, it is very heavy. And I want to ask why you do not agree that the robot can replace the bartender? All people talk like that, whereas in Japan it has been a lot of robot waiters and bartenders. I don't know, i have never seen one my self. When i think about it, it is some how awkward if i would need to order my drink from machine at the bar. My opinion is that bartender should be human, human ward cant be replaced by any other. Sometime when your friends are late at the bar, you can always speak with bartender and time will pass faster . Do that with robot  . |

No doubts. It could be a good idea to set aside a small amount for grandchildren.
I hope that the development of humanity will step into the future for as many fast that the grandchildren or great-grandchildren will not need anything. While agree that bitcoin savings in the future will give a very huge profits for our descendants. Well its debatable if bitcoin will rise or fall in near or far future. But it wont hurt to save some for future. But how much is better question. Because if you save small sum for grand children maybe it will be too small amount, I dont think that bitcoin will rise that much so that you can for few bitcoin become rich in future. Thus still profitable to keep bitcoin until a certain time, namely for the high prices, but already there to be seen, who would get the coin. The main thing that prospects were good. I believe that Bitcoin will be much more expensive in the future. and it's a good idea to take care of their grandchildren and keep them some Bitcoins. but so far I have no way to do it. I do not have grandchildren yet It is same with me, i mean i don't have grandchildren yet. But i do think that it is good idea to leave some bitcoin for future. I know bitcoin is too unstable now, but who knows what will happen in future. Maybe it will worth small fortune or maybe it will die in about 5 years or so. It is too unpredictable for now, but i will save some even if it goes to waste. |

I would not say YES or NO, but definitely it can be a good year.  More importantly, the acceptance is growing. So I think the next years will be the Years of Bitcoin. Yes, it seems bitcoin is getting more and more mainstream, which is a good thing I guess. It is very good. Recently, Bitcoin is accepted by many governments. This makes it more popular, and therefore its price will rise Well till now bitcoin was always going up, so lets all hope that it will continue to do the same in future. But there is other problems that you guys didn't take under concern. There are a lot of people that doesn't spend there bitcoin and wait for right time to sell, that time maybe never come, but if they start selling bitcoin, price will go down... |

Android. You've got more control over the device, it's open source, and it's more secure. That's all on top of the much broader selection of apps
I agree with you when you said there are much broader selection of applications on android, that is totaly truth. But i dont agree with your statemant that you have more control over the device with android os. Because there are some basic os applications that you cant turn off even if you dont need them. They are built in as main part of phone and even if you dont use them or dont need them, they eat your phone resources. That is one of biggest android problems if you ask me. Yea, that is defiantly a good point, although I like to root my devices so that doesn't pose much of a problem for me. I guess I didn't really think about the fact that most phones don't come rooted and I have a feeling most people don't bother rooting them. That's if you already decide what you need and what you expect from your device. To that need fast speed defect, and who is the main thing that is not buggy when using the applications. It depends not only on the operating system but also the quality of the assembly device. I have never heard about rooting a phone till i have read your guys posts. I have google it a bit and from what i have found is, that it is a bit tricky thing to do. If it is a new phone it says you can lose your guarantee for phone if you root it. But it sound good for person to be able to set his or her phone the way they like, and that should be an able. |

I hope btc never die
What ages? Let just does not die as long as we are alive. I am confident that the Bitcoin talk about death very stupid, because it is only now beginning to develop First time that i hear about bitcoin was in, i think it was 2014. And that is long ago. So i can't agree with you that bitcoin is young. I don't know when forum started, but i doubt it was last year. So Bitcoin is old and forum is old, but i think it will last for at least, maybe 5 years. After that, well its long time. |

In present situation it is really good to accept bitcoin as my salary because even i can use it for different purpose without disturbing my fiat currency like trading, investing, gambling etc. When i am converting from fiat currency to bitcoin i need to pay lot of fee for it. Now it won't be a problem for to accept bitcoin as salary.
And what money you pay for public utilities or buy food? For daily needs still are not without Fiat. Theoretically you can use services like Cryptopay, then exchange your Bitcoin to FIAT and use the VISA/Debit/Mastercard to pay or get the money at the ATMs. That sound really nice when you say it, but there is problem about that. If you get bitcoin as your salary, for day to day needs you need fiat. So yes you can change bitcoin to fiat, but in the process i think you would lose more than you would get. It is better if you change all bitcoin at once. Its not good for now for salaries to be in bitcoins. |

If this time world war happens, nothing will be left on the planet
I dont agree with that. It doesn't have to happen that way. Difference between wars in the past and this one would be large. In world war II they invented atomic bomb and they used it. But in this day and age people have more knowledge and know what would happen if it comes to nuclear war, so it is low chances that it will happen. There would be a lot of casualties like in every war, but it wouldn't be all gone. |

They say it is coming and that Russia will be the most likely to start it.
With Trump turning in to the soviets puppet this will quicken the WWIII scenario even faster than most would guess it would happen within the next four years of his swearing into office.
The only chance for a WW3 right now is a confrontation between China and the United States. With the defeat of Hillary, the chances of a US vs Russia war is extremely low. Also, the chances of an invasion of Iran has also been greatly reduced. I agree, it is low chance that United States will have quarrel with Russia, and that they will start World War III. But I'm not sure about China and United States tho. I lack information about how things are going in between those two countries. But I don't think that either China or United States would want war with other countries. |

Life seems to always be attempting to stop death, is intelligence another attempt at completely preventing it..
Life, not human life.. get over your freaking selves.
All living things have a single purpose, and that is to survive. Animals and people in the nature are no different. Every living thing is fighting for survival. People are unaware that they are away from nature. Work life is an example of a survival struggle. It's our goal of make money. The entire social order is an example of this. Where did you come up with these conclusions? Everybody's life means different things then anybody elses. Money is not everybodies goal in life you should know first off. You can survive without it. You think the wild people in the Brazilian rain forest have money? They haven't even seen civilization yet let alone know the concept of how money works. The world is big and don't think you know everything that goes around in it. You will might be surprised on how much you don't know about how things work around you.  I agree with you Arcanaaerobics, there is too much things that people doesn't know about world and people that inhabit it. And yes you are totally right when you say that there is different purpose of life for all humans. Money is not everything and it should not be, money is only something that people invent so that trade could be easier. |

I have always think about what happens after dying, do you even know that you already died or what happens to the memories that lies in you brain would they just vanish after dying or would the memories remain. After death is something a person who died can answer, but after dying there's no chance that a human being can solve this conclusion.
Science hasn't really found a big spot where memories are stored in the brain. There are places spread out through the brain where some small piles of memories are located. But the big spot hasn't been found. Some people think that there is a spiritual body that contains the true memories. This spiritual body is much larger in its realm than the physical body is in this realm. The spiritual body is the real person, riding in the physical body like people ride in machines. A good movie example of this was the movie Avatar. What, a fictional story? Yeah I agree. was a good example. Star Wars war machines are another. Thanks. Robots from Star Wars... Hmm if you think on that stupid trooper robots from Episode One, that thanks but no thanks XD . I would rather die that turn into that thing XD . Maybe it would be nice if Force exist. Whole Jedi view of things, Force everywhere. In every living thing, just like Jedi code said There is no death, there is the Force . Well that would be cool . |

Now 50% 50% maybe in the future 100% , but now itīs impossible pay everything with bitcoin , you have to sell in exchange to have some money in your bank for that things.
Yes it would be hard for day to day life if you would get one hundred percents salary. Yes you would need to change it so that you could buy things you need for every day. But even fifty : fifty would be hard, because people who do paying would need to calculate salary every time before they pay you, because of bitcoin non-stabile value. |

We have to accept death. All living things will disappear. Our world has a certain life span. The universe has a certain life span.
After a specific moment, all energy in the world will be gone. And everything will be gone without asking for it.
It will be in big crunch as it is the big bang.
Everything in our life has a deadline. And beyond our life, as well. I do not believe in the immortality. I believe in the longevity. Many animals can live for over two hundred years. Scientists say that many insects live for a thousands of years, just falling into anabiosis. In this case, I believe, that some sort of immortality might exist. For this, biological structures of animals in the nature can be examined. For example, elephants and turtles can live for 150-200 years. Long life exists in other living things. It may be logical to examine them and apply them to human life. I'm not saying that it is necessary to compare humans and animals. I say that there are a variety of creatures on Earth that, due to their physiology, live a little longer, but it can not be named "immortality". When we come to point where we could use medicine to create healthy living cells, that will be first step for humanity to become immortal. When you can create new organs, and replace old ones, in that moment we will become immortal. Because we can replace everything that is bad with new ones and continue living life. From this point of view, I didn't consider this as a problem. As an option, it is a real step forward. Perhaps it can bring immortality. But if you got killed, it is difficult to survive . So, we still cannot call that as immortality. Hehehe you got me there. You are right, if someone would get killed that would be it for them. But i actually don't see point in killing someone in society where people are immortal. I mean what would be cause for one immortal person to kill another immortal? You have infinite time to make everything you want . |

Not all so sad. Really if you start a third world war using nuclear weapons it really is in danger of Apocalypse. But the war can be without the use of nuclear weapons. Such a war already underway in Syria and yet the world did not end.
Yes, but it is just matter of time when would some country use nuclear weapon that they have. You see, someone would need to lose war, and none country want that. So when they understand they are near defeat, they would use there nuclear weapon and other side would use too... so there you go . Nuclear war how ever you turn it. I think that now manifests a characteristic feature of the new strategy wars. They occur on the territory of third countries. Even if one of the parties is defeated, it won't be her due to the territorial losses and therefore no reason for the use of nuclear weapons. Ok when you see it that way, it is truth... unless that other, that third countrie possess nuclear weapon. In that case your theory doesnt apply. Or maybe that third country is in alliance with some other country that have nuclear weapon, and in that case that other country could use it... If a country has nuclear weapons it openly on her one will not attack. Against such countries is economic war, and sooner or later it will destroy the country from within. Not be targets for nuclear bombing. For example Iran and North Korea. I think that most of countries in the world could withstand economic war. If done right, country doesnt need to sell there products to other countries. Thay could make there own food and day to day things that is basic for human survival. And if done right that could last forever. And i dont need to say that there will always be countries that will deal with that country so there will never be full economic war, so that all countries wont trade with that country. No it is a utopia. In the modern world it is impossible to live offline. Try to make a stock and try to live in a sealed bunker. How much you have enough? The country is even harder and some products of vital activity of the country is not limited. Very greatly influenced by technology. It is something like utopia, as you said. But it could come true one day, it is not impossible. Country doesn't necessarily need to sell stock, so that people of that country would have good life. If country have fertile soil and water for farming you can have anything. It wouldn't be life like we know it, but it would be life. And as i said, there would always be some country that would trade with you country. |
