Griboyedov's comedy "Woe from Wit" (1824), d. 4, yavl. 4, Repetilov's words addressed to Chatsky: "Perhaps, laugh at me... // And I have an attraction for you, a kind of illness, // Some kind of love and passion, // I'm ready to slay my soul, // What's in you will not find such a friend in the world."

Random phraseology:

Sharashkin's office.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue.

A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person.

Prospects for the development of smart watches 03.08.2013

Many analysts believe that at first, such devices will be used to monitor the health of the user. The watch can measure the user's blood pressure and pulse by transmitting the data to a smartphone. Foxconn introduced a similar technology last month. However, there are various fitness bracelets even now.

Obviously, smartwatches will offer more functionality. In particular, they can act as a companion device for a smartphone or tablet. Various notifications can be displayed on the watch screen, saving the user from having to get their smartphone out of the bag, which is quite problematic, given the dimensions of modern devices. "It's much more convenient to just look at your wrist and see phone calls, messages, tweets or other notifications on your watch," says Angela McIntyre, analyst at Gartner. In addition, with the help of "smart" watches, you can control some of the functions of the smartphone: music playback, turn the silent mode on or off, and so on. Angela also believes that smart watches may have a built-in microphone for voice commands and for "quick" answers to phone calls.

However, the watch can act not only as a companion device, it can also function independently. In particular, according to rumors, Microsoft is preparing its own version of a smart watch that will have a built-in LTE module and run on a modified Windows 8. However, the analyst sees a problem here, because the user will have to buy a separate tariff plan for the watch, which is impractical.

Surveys have shown that on average, people check their smartphones 20 times per hour. "People are constantly checking their smartphones, but it would be easier to check their watches. There is a user interest in smartwatches that are lightweight and comfortable," McIntyre said.

Analysts also believe that many well-known watch manufacturers will want to participate in the production of "smart" watches. This will also be useful for electronics manufacturers, as for many users, a watch is a fashion accessory, not a functional device.
