HALLOWEEN

As we know Halloween was celebrated on October 31st. Many people were celebrating Halloween. 

And now I will tell you about Halloween.

Many people think that Halloween is an American holiday, but Halloween is a Scottish holiday. Many years ago Scottish bring their holiday to America.

More than a thousand years ago the Christian church named November 1 All Saints Day (also called All Hallows.) This was a special holy day to honor the saints and other people who died for their religion. The night before All Hallows was called Hallows Eve. Later the name was changed to Halloween.
Like the Celts, the Europeans of that time also believed that the spirits of the dead would visit the earth on Halloween. They worried that evil spirits would cause problems or hurt them. So on that night people wore costumes that looked like ghosts or other evil creatures. They thought if they dressed like that, the spirits would think they were also dead and not harm them. 

These days Halloween is not usually considered a religious holiday. It is primarily a fun day for children. Children dress up in costumes like people did a thousand years ago. But instead of worrying about evil spirits, they go from house to house. They knock on doors and say "trick or treat." The owner of each house gives candy or something special to each trick or treater. I think you know  what you(if you celebrating it) can do if house's owner don't give you candy.

And know about Halloween Pumpkin. Do you know why people carve such kind pumpkins?

People think that it is ghost houses and in Hallow Eve they come  to their houses. And the next day of Halloween(November 1) they might broke the pumpkins ("Ghosts houses").

Here are some photos.

Future Technologies 

   Now, in our days we are so attached to technologies that it will be hard to live without them. Every year technologies develops more and more. And now I will tell you my opinion about technologies in future.

    I think that in future people will not be interested in TV. We will think about creating (or buying) computers (or gadgets). And now some people think like that and don't buy TVs. If you have internet and computer (or even some gadgets) at your home, you have no need to use TVs. 

I think that in future technologies will be smaller, to be easy to take with you (not iPads or phones). Even if technologies will have big size, it will have such design that when you will close it, it will become small. 

    I think in future people will create  even robots that will do some works instead of them. But this will be bad, not good, because people will become lazy. 
    This is all what I can say about future technologies now, maybe some days, months or years later I will have another thoughts too.
