1.You have never known a time without electricity,and you have batteries to keep things running even when the power is out.How did your grandparents survive without computers and the internet?No digital photos,no text messaging and no MSN chatting.In fact,there were no phones or lights in many parts of the world during that time.
The truth is that previous generations survived with what they had.Today we have so many tools to help us live more enjoyable and productive lives.We should all be pleased that we have these gifts,but at the same time we must be careful that we use them wisely.
Did you know you could make yourself dangerously sick by drinking too much water at one time?The same can be said for the electronic gifts that we take for granted each day.Most things,if used to excess or improperly,can cause us much harm.The secret is to use these gifts wisely.Take advantage of the efficiency that they bring to our lives,but always be aware that dependency can happen quickly,and before we know it,we can be addicted to these tools.
You will be a smarter and happier person if you make good judgments about how you use these gifts.
2.Vienna comes to mind if you are talking about music.And when people in Vienna talk about music,they talk about it over a cup of coffee—another important part of Viennese culture.
In 1683,a Polish man saved Vienna from the Turkish army.To thank him,the Viennese offered their hero a choice of anything the Turks had left behind.Ignoring the gold,he chose three hundred bags of strange dry beans.Nobody else wanted them,but he knew what they were—coffee beans.With these beans,he opened the first coffee house in Vienna.
Since the Viennese preferred tea at that time,the clever Polish man added cream and sugar to improve the bitter taste of coffee.He called it“Wiener Melange (German:“Viennese blend”)”.Quickly,this new smooth-tasting coffee became the“in”drink.
Perhaps that’s just a legend,but every Viennese learns it at school.Many coffee houses even claim to be the one that the Polish man first opened.
Nowadays,Viennese coffee houses are meeting places for artists and intellectuals,as well as for you,the tourist.You can take a seat where probably Johann Strauss* once sat,sip your coffee and chat with the locals.Traditionally,the waiter will serve a glass of water with your coffee.But if you get a second glass,it means you’ve stayed too long!
