Do you remember La Linea?

The people who were born in the early 80s will probably remember this TV entertainment.




Farewell Kabul


This is exactly how life in a foreign country can be like. Only those who experienced something similar to this will understand what it's really about, being a foreigner in another country.


The air-time of the phone calls is an excellent example, and there is no running to the neighbours to borrow money for air time, because you are on your own. You have to build your new life from scratch, therefore it is useful to be young, healthy and fit to face your new lifestyle.



As foreign troops withdraw from Afghanistan, one young Afghan photographer has finally found a way to flee the country.

My Digital addiction.


Do you have your smart phone in your hand right now? Or is your computer sitting in your lap? If you answered yes to either question, you may want to put the electronics down and listen up because experts fear folks in America are becoming too attached to their digital devices. 

A study done by Internet Trends says an average person checks their mobile phone at least 150 times a day. Psychologists believe people are training their brains to crave more interaction because each new message or internet update serves as a reward.

We don't know when the next tweet is going to happen. We don't know when the next status update is going to be. We don't know if we got a message. So it's that itch that kind of builds up and you want to scratch and what that does is fracture our attention, said Dr. Michael Neelon, Psychology Professor at UNC Asheville.

It could be an indication that cell phones and the internet could be triggering addictive behaviours.
I do think that one aspect of addictive behaviour is it having a detrimental impact on your life, said Neelon. If dopamine underlies a lot of addictive behaviours, like certainly drugs and eating and gambling, then I think it also, because it's triggered these devices are ideally suited to trigger dopamine then yes, it can contribute to addictive like behaviours.

A study conducted by IDC Research says 79 percent of smart-phone users have their phone on or near them for all but two hours of their waking day. Sixty-three percent keep it with them for all but one hour. Dr. Neelon says it might be healthy to give your brain a break from these digital devices. He recommends putting yourself in a new environment from time to time, setting limits on your usage, especially at dinner and bed time and try to retrain your brain by finding an activity that can make you just as happy as that next message.
