    🚷 NEW TECHNOLOGY : WATER-SPRAYING POLES 🚷   For me the best example of the help that new technologies offer is in China. They are water-spraying poles (as shown in the pictures below) for the pedestrians who don't respect the rules. The Chinese province of Hubei came up with the idea of installing lines of yellow poles on two sides of a crossover capable of detecting pedestrians who forcing the zebra crossing and sprinkling them with water.

I notice that both of them aren't wearing casual clothes so I think it's an uniform composed a green skirt, and a blue trousers. One has red hair and the  second has the second to baldness. They are probably co-workers because they are wearing the same clothes. The one in front of the computer is happy and the other is perplexed. b. The cartoonist meant that there existed a group where people have problems with the internet, it gathers on the internet. It is ironical. 3. IMPACT / VIEWPOINT / BRANCHING OUT  a. I think this drawing is representative of today's world because more and more people are addicted to the internet and can not do without. b. I think this drawing is representative of today's world because more and more people are addicted to the i...
