I've made a new breakthrough with my i-phone. I was wondering why it is that every time I go on holiday I run out of Mb known to me as broadband on my phone. I hadn't realized that when I am at home I am using my home wifi but when I am out using 4G that comes off my mobile allowance. Now my friends have shown me how to switch off the button that receives the 4G knowing that if I really need it I can switch it back on. Fortunately when I was in Russia my friend told me to keep my phone on airplane mode and use the ship's wifi. Now this will be totally boring to most of my readers but might help someone like myself who is struggling to keep up with modern technology. Of course every time I catch up "they" invent something new!
I have written in previous posts about disasters. In the case of Concorde, decisions by people, plus other factors were directly to blame for the event. In the case of the Penlee disaster it may have been avoided if someone had made a better choice in the time beforehand and as a consequence brave men and the ship's crew and the captain and his family died. 9/11 was certainly the result of wicked men committing a terrorist act, but even in this there was heroism notably by another Cornish man, Rick Rescorla who helped many to safety and left it too late to help himself. In situations like this we see what the human spirit is capable of both good and evil. What of disasters that come on people because of the earth restless movement of tectonic plates. Often people live near volcanoes because the land is rich and fertile and they have the chance of a better life there when the volcano is resting. We cannot blame them for that but sometimes people become complacent...
