Technology
A technology blog from

Technological progress = cultural regression?
Do new technologies and the world of art go together? Can we still expect audiences to sit still during a whole film or theatre 1) performance/show? Will they want to go to an art 2) gallery to silently admire (with their mobiles off!) the 3) works of Picasso, Monet and many others? Or will they prefer to play interactive games with their eyes 4) glued to all sorts of screens? It’s a matter of choice, of course. But even if we opt for the ‘old-fashioned’ art, do we still remember how to behave in a proper, ‘old-fashioned’ way?
I have never been much of a theatre 5) goer. Recently though, I decided to see Three Days of Rain (written by an American 6) playwright Richard Greenberg) at the Jacobs Theatre with Julia Roberts starring in the 7) leading role. It might not be a box 8) office success, and you can argue about the quality of Roberts’s acting (this being her first time on 9) stage. But it’s no excuse for the appalling behaviour of several of the people in the audience. From the moment the lights went out, I could hear text messages and people answering their mobiles. Appalling! Don’t you think we should all 10) wake up to the dangers that modern technologies bring to contemporary culture?

University Life

They also enable students to 2) take up new activities and find out their strengths and abilities. There are however a few things you may want to know before you choose the one you want to join.
• I encourage 3) you to visit all the houses. Talk with the members and remember 4) to check out what it’s like to live there for real.
• Some sorority and fraternity chapters 5) may not have their own houses. Think about whether you would prefer to live with the other members of your chapter or have the freedom to live elsewhere (especially if you 6) aren’t used to sharing your accommodation with others).
• Once an active member, don’t despair if your initial enthusiasm for sorority or fraternity life 7) wears off. It’s 8) inevitable that sometimes you’ll feel a bit discouraged.
