I have a little bit of a love and hate relationship with technology. On the one side I am so thankful what is possible today. We can be in contact with my family overseas in ways that weren't possible years ago. Then again technology is everywhere, it can be addicting and suck the life out of you. Im happy I can teach them the responsibilities that come with all of it.

This striking picture of the New Technology Telescope (NTT) was taken just after sunset at ESO's La Silla Observatory, located in the Norte Chico in outskirts of the Chilean Atacama Desert. The Moon has already begun its journey across the evening sky, and is shining brightly overhead. The Sun dips below the horizon to the left of the frame, soaking the clouds in a rich orange colour.
The warm glow of the last rays of sunshine are caught by the reflective surface of the NTT walls. The purpose of this metallic dome is to stop the telescope’s enclosure from heating up during the day. This would affect the telescope’s observations, as rising warm air and turbulence blur images and worsen the astronomical seeing.
It is not just the telescope's enclosure that is designed to reduce heat accumulation during the day; the concrete platforms and parking spaces around the site are all painted white to increase the amount of light reflected from their surface.

The Our Daily Challenge group has chosen The World of Technology as today's topic.
The mobile phone, a tv set – modern technology. But all around are older technologies: electric light, photographs, a globe, clothes, a printed book, furniture, a ceramic dish, letters and handwriting.
Primitive technology is by far my favorite channel on youtube, so it seemed appropriate to build a little tribute for the man.
This creation represents the tiled roof hut, his most popular video. It's also my favorite one and the most fitting one to make out of LEGO.
The build was quite challenging, because of it's small size. According to the video's description, the hut is 2x2 metres big. But in order to make the hut appropriately sized for a minifig, it would have to be a mere 6x6 studs MOC and that's way too small. So I increased the size to 8x8 and made a generously overhanging roof, which was a fun part to figure out.
Well, I hope you like it! Peace!
Back in April 1987 I went on a bus hunting adventure which included a visit to Lincoln where I photographed Lincolnshire Technology Leyland National MCN836L. This bus started life with Northern General as a dual-doored bus in 1973. In 1980 it was converted to single-door layout then passed to Lincolnshire as their 2798. It was withdrawn at the end of 1985 and then converted into a windowless technology bus complete with reinstated centre door!

Something isn' working and the boys are baffled.
"Have you tried switching it off and on again?" suggests TK935, helpfully.
Just as well TK127's reply was muffled under the console.

State of the art technology that our 3G army now uses. Versatile and remote controlled. Able to fire (i believe it utilises 5.56mm rounds) via user's control and climb staircases.

when my parents were kids, television was "cool technology", today it is an appliance.
computers are "cool technology" to me but merely appliances to my kids.
this is my photofriday entry for the technology challenge.
A gadget is a small tool such as a machine that has a particular function, but is often thought of as a novelty. Gadgets are sometimes referred to as gizmos. Read more on therandomgadgetshop.com

Don't know what it actually is.
But I think that the desolate turbine in the previous picture in my stream and this item belong together. If that's the case, than this might be the housing of an electricity generator that once stood in a power plant.

She's having a laptop which was given free for school and college students by the government. It undoubtedly gave the key to information and knowledge to the people and it have made many people's work more easier. It made their life quite more comfortable.
