The poverty of the poorest :(


The man feels fascination for the wealth, the power and the reputation, every year the magazine Forbes publishes the list of the richest persons of the world, businessmen, leaders and entrepreneurs who have accumulated fortunes that in some cases overcome the global wealth of entire countries. Carlos Slim has returned to repeat at the head of the list with a heritage valued for 74.000 million dollars, but those who are the poorest of the world? This question does not take a list as a response with names and surnames, if the list of the rich ones takes a classification as positions, that of the poor includes entire countries where almost they all do not have almost you are welcome.
The sub-Saharan Africa is the poorest region of the world followed by the south of Asia, according to a new way of measuring the development of the countries created by the University of Oxford with the support of the United Nations. Together they have created the MPI, the Multidimensional Index of the Poverty.
This new index complements from 2010 to the Index of Human Poverty that they publish the Naciones Unid and attends to several areas: education, health and the living conditions. Inside the education they measure up the years of education and the assistance to class, in the health one attends to the infant mortality and the nutrition and the living conditions indicate the access to the electricity or to the drinkable water, among other things.

"Artificial Intelligence" (movie)


Sunday in the class were talking about our future with regard to technology. I think this movie is a good example...
PLOT:
Global warming has led to melting polar ice caps, flooded coastlines and a drastic reduction of the human population. There are a new class of robots called mechas, advanced humanoids capable of emulating thoughts and emotions. David a prototype model created by Cybertronics, is designed to resemble a human child and to display love for its human owners. They test their creation with one of their employees, Henry Swinton and his wife Monica.
The Swintons' son, Martin, was placed in suspended animation until a cure can be found for his rare disease. Although Monica is initially frightened of David, she eventually warms to him after activating his imprinting protocol, which irreversibly causes David to project love for her, the same as any child would love a parent. He is also befriended by Teddy, a robotic teddy bear, who takes upon himself to care for David's well being.
A cure is found for Martin and he is brought home; a sibling rivalry ensues between Martin and David. Martin convinces David to go to Monica in the middle of the night and cut off a lock of her hair, but the parents wake up and are very upset.
Well well the movie is very long...jajaja..better see the movie, is very sad but i think is a great movie.
