The problem with ecological cars emission in UK Since the adoption of the European Emission Allowance Directive in the European Parliament, all car makers have tried to submit. Since 1992, the Euro I standard has been in force, which limited the emission of carbon monoxide to the atmosphere. The Euro VI standard currently applies, which limits the series of exhaust gases. These include: hydrocarbons, nitrogen and carbon oxides, and dust. The most significant change was brought by the Euro IV standard. For the first time it introduced the limitation of nitrogen oxides, which are responsible for the harmful compounds of smog. What is smog? Smog consists of sulfur oxides, nitrogen and carbon. In addition, solid substances such as suspended dust (PM). Dust suspend in atmospheric aerosols may be in liquid and solid form. These can be particles of sea salt, clouds from the Sahara and artificial compounds made by people. These compounds often come fr

On another note, we didn't have so many technologies that we have today. Not being aware of their existence probably made people live slower and happier lives, since for example you actually had to physically see someone (or talk on a phone in best case, although this was mostly limited to setting appointments) in order to interact with them. I miss those times in many ways. I'm not saying I'm not appreciating what I have now, because I couldn't just give up on those things partly because everyone else uses it and being an IT student I take pride in being ahead of the times with the newest solutions aimed at improving our "convenience". I feel like people would be happier, however if some things were like they were in the 90s.
To the list of the "Do you remember" items we could also add commodore and pegasus.

I am pretty sure that most of us had one of the above at home. Or perhaps you are too young for that :S.
Time went so slow back then that it felt like it was infinity. Unfortunately all kids will grow up one day as we all did. I am missing those times when i had no responsibilities whatsoever.
Gosh I just remind myself my first PC :> It meant to be so great back then, now I just realised how useless it was. There were no such a thing like CD-ROM, bet you all remember floppy discs ....

When i think about it all from this point, I have to say I am pretty glad i am in 2014, maybe because i love technology and gadgets (toys for older kids).
Most of my time outside of school I spent with my group of friends in the backyard playing, talking, listening to music and sometimes arguing. Often in the summer we played "KING" (bouncing the ball off the wall). I think that it is impossible to forget about the battles that took place between backyards. Nobody did not like children from other backyards because they were strange. As a child I thought that I should have had everything and also my parents should have allowed me for doing everything too. I was grown up in my eyes.
Today my opinion is slightly different especially when I watch my younger brother who is 11. Lots of children are forbidden to do something which could make them pleasure (on the other hand they do not have many free time). In most cases adults behave as they had never been children e.g. :

Boys already mentioned watching Dragonball but since I am a girl I can’t fail to mention my personal favorite which was Sailormoon, and of course classic Cartoon Network cartoons such as: The Dexter’s Laboratory, Tom & Jerry or The Power Puff Girls.
My room was filled with posters from Bravo magazine, plush toys and all kinds of gadgets from Kinder Surprise. I was really into arts and crafts in my early childhood so I wasted hours trying on my mother’s clothes, making collages and scrapbooks from nearly any kind of material I could put my hands on. I also loved to spend time with friends and my older sister playing hide and seek, jumping the rope or just running outdoors imagining wonders that only a child’s mind can come up with.
Unfortunately nowadays you don’t see that many children playing outdoors. We live in a digital century where children prefer online world from the real one. But we shouldn’t blame it on the children. Very often parents are at fault here since they work many hours and can’t spend time with their beloved ones, so they invest money in digital gadgets to make their children happy. Also toymakers try to keep up with technology and come up with wonders that are surprising or sometimes even scary. Today I encountered something like that: http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-20957844
Does young children really need that? And what will happen to all those stuck in the virtual world. Because of all that technology and hours spent online children nowadays lack of natural personal skills. They tend to be shy or arrogant and have no idea how to interact with other people in the real world. I just hope that it’s not as bad as I see it and that our children will have a childhood as fantastic as ours.
Last weekend, i finished cleaning my room, i foun a lot of "treasure" from childhood.
I found a lot lot of stickers, ring binding inserts.. i really have a lot of them! now i have problem what to do with it... it's takes to much space.. but it's to sentiment :<
On last party we start play "old" song, britney spears and other hits from our childhood :D It was great :D
Of course I got tamagochi and furby.
Todays children didn's used to play as we do. We spend a lot more time outdoor, now children have PC, tablets, mobile phone. Parents prefer give their electronic accesories beside to play with they children.
I still remember captain Tsubasa, he was the hero of all the guys in the football pitch. Pitch was the most important place in the world and it was for over 15 years :).
There were also pokemon. TV series, cards, caps, clothes and others. It was such a great marketing! At some point, they have already become boring but it sure was a great success in 90.
Very sad that I only have a few pictures :(
There are two things I remember best and miss the most about those times: collectibles and legos.
It was quite a popular thing to collect stuff and in my case it was Pokemon cards. I really loved collecting them and was very serious about it. I remember that I was always frustrated that none of my friends knew how to play the actual game so I quit collecting them at some point. But for a few years I was a real fan of that.
As for legos, I always loved ans still love them. Now I don't really have the time to play with and neither do I really „feel” like doing it anymore, but I still think it's the best toy in the world. Back in the days I used to spend nearly all my free time at home with legos.
Nowadays in the first place are the gadgets: I phone, I pad, I pod, Play Station. Everything has been replaced by electronic toys.
