Bitcoins and other things that are incomprehensible to those born in the USSR

The world does not seem to us something incomprehensible. There's a trolley bus, lights, TV at home. Such familiar and ordinary things cannot seem strange to us.

Despite the fact that we strive for everything new and unknown, commonplace They can make us crazy. We suddenly realize we don't understand anything. Yeah, physics and chemistry. But still, how does it work?

We have a small collection here, which really looks incomprehensible. Although a person is able to imagine in his head anything, but much is beyond the bounds! Here it works. You use it. Like something that was always there for you. But remember your childhood. Or were the toys a little lighter and heavier?



Really, how does it work? Yes, we do. You press the button, the screen turns on, then you pick up the mouse. Even now you don't need to, just point your finger at the phone.

All right, computer. And the electricity? Mankind has been familiar with this kind of energy for a long time, and no one will be surprised by them now. But all these things -- force, voltage, current -- what is the most important thing for an electrical device? What is the difference between 220 and 380, and why is it that refrigerators and microwaves don’t like?



The Internet makes it harder. How do you get news on your gadget? How is information transmitted via Wi-Fi? No, we know this technology exists, but how is it that you go into coverage and everything happens? The Internet is called a web that spans the world. No, really, how and when did this all happen?

Have any of you tried learning a foreign language? It can be fucking hard! But some carapace in four or five years speaks out already to the fullest. Okay, now let's imagine cavemen.

Talking. Simple question. How do people know it’s time to end the conversation? Especially at all social events, when you need to maintain etiquette and make sure not to be in an uncomfortable situation? Why do I always have to say shit when everyone else is quiet?

Who gives these people money?



Why do people say "satisfied as a boa consort"? How do we know if we are happy or unhappy? Maybe he's suffering from coughing up a delicate white rabbit? Have you ever seen a chicken on TV?

We are constantly making decisions. Oh, these are very important and difficult decisions, really. In the morning, when the alarm goes off, you fight yourself to get some more sleep. Then you decide what to make a sandwich with – cheese or sausage? I am writing this article and thinking about my cat. How does she think? Why doesn't she need an alarm clock to stomp on me in the morning?



Someone can explain to me what it is and how it can be “mined” using the graphics card of my computer? And how to exchange them for habitual? How do I transfer my account to a bank card?

It is not necessary to think that none of us went to school and here only the students gathered. We're just trying to convey to you the grandeur of our world.

After all, who are we and what are we doing here on this planet?



Strange things Even when you look in the mirror in the morning and ask yourself, who are you? Here we go!
