Invention - a magician?

Sometimes I think about what brings today's time. Our development is very fast and we all "must" keep up, otherwise we can not be included in society. This is particularly the sorts of innovative inventions which are suppose to ease our everyday life. But are they really? Maybe it initially seems well, but over time we find out that we very quickly these innovative things destroy, break, and so on. And of course correction or fixing of such things is usually complicated and more expensive than a new product. Some manufacturers will convince you that their products are like magicians. But I know many people who return to the original quality product, if possible, because they are more reliable. For example, new mobile phones. Have you ever seen one, that has build in headlights (projectors) in some settings and then, when lifting it through, the headlamps will light up keyboard on one side and on the other side it lights up the screen? So actually your phone can also serve as a personal computer. And what do you thing, how long this will last about? Many products are design products, modern but very carious and its function does not meet 100 percent. Nothing and no one is really a magician. Maybe just such a showman, who makes a variety of tricks with cards and disappearances and so on.

Weapons are men’s hobby

I have a boyfriend who loves guns. He often goes with his friends to the shooting range where he is able to spend the whole day. It suits me quite, as from time to time we both need time apart. When he goes shooting, I go shopping or out with my friends for a cup of coffee. For some time now I was looking for a army store in Bratislava, which would also sell ammunition and other accessories. It is extremely difficult to choose a gift for my boyfriend for his birthday or Christmas and since he likes guns, I decided that each year he gets for some celebrations something related to that. While this will not be a big surprise, but at least he gets something he likes and what he enjoys. Currently he is using air rifles, his "toys" - as he calls it. I know he longed to have a new air rifle. His birthday is coming up and so I again started my search for shops with weapons. I am still, forgetting that there are online stores, which of course is for me, a woman, much easier and faster. So I wrote in search engine window keywords army shop. It was really very simple. I found a few stores, but I looked at right first one. Army shop called AFG has everything I was looking for. I looked through their website for about two hours and I started to be more interested in guns. I do not think I will start going with my boyfriend to go to the shooting range, but I'm glad that I can read about the weapons and I can learn and understand a little bit more about my boyfriend’s joy.
