New questions on body scanners

After the terrorist attempt to attack the flight from Amsterdam to Detroit it's been discussed the fact of including body scaners in the airports. Actually, they are already working in some airports from United States and they are plannig to introduce them in some european airpoirts.
They say it is for our security but, the big question is: are they breaking our intimacy?
The images produced by the TSA's new scanners don't leave much to the imagination. On the other hand, they are delivered to the airports without the capability to store, print or transmit images.
It's obvious that they can watch over in our security in a better way with these machines, but I think that the terrorists or those persons who traffic with drgus will continue doing it somehow.
What about our privacy? Actually, I think I woould feel strange, embarrased and intimidated if I had to pass on one of that body image scanners.

New Year Resolutions

Here are some resolutions I've made for this 2010, which I think it's gonna be a very important, stressing and exciting year. Actually, we are going to be eighteen and we will start a new life in the university.

- Get my driving license. I'm the first girl of my group of friends who will be eighteen (on the 29th of April!) so they're always telling me to get it as early as possible 'cause they want somebody to bring them!lool I promised them I'll get the theory on June, after the selectivitat, and then the practice on July!haha I'm really looking forward to get it 'cause this way I won't depend on my parents to get round.

- Choose the correct degree. I still don't know which degree to study at the university, and I'm afraid I choose the incorrect one. In fact, I'm truly indecidive and insecure. I've got some options in my mind but then everybody tell me different things that I get confused.

- Be happy, healthy, love and be loved. This is the typical resolution that everybody makes himself, isn't it? Well, I'm sure this is gonna be a great year. I just wish to take thing easy and don't worry for stupid things. I want to forget things from the past that don't care anymore.

National Geographic best picture

Of all the photos from the Natinal Geogrphic's International Photography Conest of 2009 I've chosen this one. It is a train that travels to different areas of Shangai (China) oncoming in the tunnel's changing light show.
And you may ask, why have I chosen this photo instead of another of the 25? Well, I think it's an impressive photo that shows the world we live in, or actually, our future. It shows the huge development in technology of the last decade. Looking at this photo I feel we can reach lots of things.
On the other hand, this picture makes evident that China is becoming an influential and powerful country. It's clearly obvious that our country is less advanced than China and lots of other countries.

It's just looking at the photo and an electric feeling arise in me.
