the spectacle of new technologies
DSTV is wonderful, just the other day i found myself watching two very different films from two different eras of movie making and was amazed at the differrence new techonlogy has made in these productions. from tha classicall the first KING KONG (1933) to KING KONG (2005) one gets to contrast the realites that have evolved with in terms of effects . Looking at the 1933 version of king kong now makes it look ridiculoulsy unreal you can tell theat gorrilla was nowqhere near tha actors in the moviebut the latest edition has got thishuge sense of realism in it its spectacular. one gets to see the facial expressions of the gorrilla as it fights to protect the leading lady from the dinasour.What also appears to be more real than in the previous film is the entangling of the gorrilla in the roots it also just make the fisrt version of the movie seem so dull. thesame goes for all the classical remakes , like SUPERMAN, as well as the trilogies such as james bond , the better the technologies the better the effects and the spectacular the film is .

social networks, are they really safe
People use social networks for various reasons like keeping in touch with friends, knowing what their former school mates are doing at present and some to look for friends. When you sign in on these networks you are required to fill in your details which is usually known as ones profile. by doing this you have given the people who visit your profile your identity. Is there privacy in these networks since anyone can get hold of information such as where you stay, how old you are and many other things which can only be known by people who are close to you. Ever heard of cyber criminals, these people are criminals who do their crime by finding their victims on the internet. They have been reports of kidnappings and murders by people who get all the information from the different social networks. People with different fantasies get hold of other peoples information and those who are unlucky can have stalkers on the net and they might even be in the same area as them. Are we really safe on these networks with crime taking place when you have a password to access your account but at the end of the day people get kidnapped ,murdered and some stalked by people they do not know.
