    Dirck van Baburen, Prometheus Being Chained by Vulkan   The Greek Titan god, thief of fire, creator of humanity. Prometheus has long been a figure capturing human imagination and speaking deeply to us, but the ways in which he does so are curiously split in twain, from almost the very beginning and well into modernity. To some, he’s an almost messianic figure, like to the German romantic poet Johan Wolfgang Goethe. A great rebel against tyranny and injustice, willing to commit the greatest sacrifices for the sake of the common good. To Goethe, Prometheus was a symbol of the coming of a new age, daring to fight for a better tomorrow. It also wasn’t uncommon for the writers and poets of romanticism to draw parallels between the Promethean myth and the French revolution.

  New Toyota Mirai 2021 Toyota release Mirai model in 2014 but first concept was developed from 1992. This car uses electric motors to drive but energy for it take from hydrogen cells. This is much more better solution than electric cars. Filling the cells with hydrogen takes only 3 minutes, for comparison Tesla with supercharger needs 75 minutes for 100% battery level. New generation of Mirai cost less than first edition looks less controversial (in my opinion new model looks familiar to Lexus car). In USA prices starts from $50,455 and you get $15,000 fuel credit, maximum range is up to 403 miles. Tesla model 3 which is the cheapest model cost $35,000 but have only 263 miles of range, 353 miles in Long Range version.

 The world we live in has been tightly and inextricably integrated with information technologies. The Internet has become a part of our daily lives, spanning the world with a huge net which can track our every move by monitoring which wireless network our phones exchange handshakes with, track us using facial recognition technology and omnipresent CCTV cameras, and soon using our DNA. These technologies are developed by private companies, owing no loyalty to a country or a cause, sold to the highest bidder regardless of who they are and what they use it for. How big of a threat to our privacy and safety does this constitute?     Questions: 1. Do you think that surveilance technology is a type of weapon? 2. Should the export of surveilance technology be regulated by countries like the US? 3. Do you think it's dangerous that this kind of technology is currently owned and developed mainly by private corporations? 4. Do you think surveilance technologies have positive uses?
