Why should you read books instead of watching YouTube?

Books come in all imaginable colors, sizes, and weights. The appearance says nothing about the content of a book. There are thick books with rather thin arguments and thin books with broad meaningful content. Different from smartphones, you can not say that new models are better.

Glamping in Geneva

First, we tried to camp outside. Unfortunately, the April weather did not play along with us. It was very cold and windy at night and our tent was a bit too small for us. So we decided to switch from camping to glamping. Thankfully, such a PODhouse was available in the facility.

First Software

The first time I've started writing code was in the 90's when I was thirteen years old. I can't exactly remember the circumstances back then. For sure I can remember that a schoolmate of mine borrows me his book about how to code in BASIC.

An important breakthrough

People are using technologies nowadays like as if it's always been there. Surely, without the technological achievements, this world would be more uncomfortable and dangerous. Back then Homo Erectus discovered something which raises humans to be an alpha species.

Rome and Vatican City

Rome is historically a continually changing place since the first 'Roman' occupies the area 14,000 years ago. But, OK, I think most of us refer to the era of the Roman Kingdom, the Roman Republic, and the Roman Empire in the history when we're talking about Rome.
