Scientific and technical progress. The consequences of the scientific revolution are varied. It is obvious that the technical power has opened opportunities for spiritual development in a variety of directions. However, it appears that technology by itself does not entail progress in the spiritual and moral and cultural fields. Of particular importance is the fact that technical progress is characterized by the property of the fundamental unpredictability of its effects, among which are those that have a negative value. Man, therefore, need to be in constant readiness, to be able to respond to the challenge of what has been created by him.
We are all looking forward to school holidays during the school year. There are four main types of school vacation: winter, spring, summer and autumn. The longest vacation falls on the summer and lasts three months. Winter holidays last for almost two weeks. Spring and autumn vacations last only a week. It is not a long time, but I always enjoy your vacation and try to spend them having fun. This spring break was full of positive emotions. At first my parents wanted to go to warmer climes and to take me with him, but then changed his mind. My uncle, who lives in Novokuznetsk, invited us to his, and my parents gladly agreed. It is far from Moscow, but in the end we didn't regret it. To save time, my dad offered to get there by plane. The flight lasted about four hours. The same day we arrived, my uncle showed us the local sights. I must admit that the city is quite beautiful. We saw Spaso-Preobrazhensky Cathedral and the monument to Suvorov. When we got back, my uncle's wife, aunt Zoe, has prepared for us a delicious dinner consisting of rice pilaf. For dessert they had sweet cakes with tea. Spending time in Novokuznetsk, I learned that many prominent people lived and worked in this city. For example, the famous poet Bardin, Explorer of Siberia – Spassky, singer and actress Elena Kamburova, a Soviet football player Zinchenko. I was delighted to learn that in Novokuznetsk has its own hockey team and one of the best Rugby leagues in Russia. Sorry we could not stay longer at least for another week, because soon we had to return home. My spring break is over and Monday I started school.
