Electronic textiles are an evolving technology in which clothing fibers and electronics are woven together, thus creating a flexible wearable device. Laboratories develop garments that are illuminated using LEDs and respond to external influences, such as lighting. One laboratory even developed an “apron” for a keyboard that can be worn and used with any portable electronic device. The direct purpose of wearable electronics is to combine the familiar form and modern electronic filling. Often wearable electronics meet certain requirements, for example, bracelets read the pulse, glasses create augmented reality, and the watch can be a small “companion” to a smartphone lying in your pocket, displaying notifications from the main screen.

​Japanese virtual sensation Hatsune Miku has become a very popular virtual star. At first, Miku was developed as a mascot of a computer music program called Vocaloid, and gained a huge number of fans. Using this program, fans began to create hundreds of songs for Miku, and Miku's video quickly spread to YouTube. In 2010, Miku, in holographic form, gave her first concert and became mega popular.

​With the development of computer technology, the volumes of information that these computers are able to efficiently and quickly process are growing. The appearance of the term “big data” marked a qualitative breakthrough in this area. Computers have learned to analyze really huge and ever-growing data arrays, doing it at lightning speed. Information can be completely heterogeneous. In English terminology, these parameters fit into the principle of three V: Volume , Velocity  and Variety.
One of the most illustrative examples of big data - analyzed by computers, is information about user actions on social networks. Other massive amounts of data are analyzed in the same way: from the daily activities of industrial facilities to the behavior of football players in games and training.

Almost all of us like to travel, either to long distances or short ones. Some of us like to explore remote destinations. It does not matter how far we decide to go, travel by itself can expand our minds, promote intercultural understanding, enrich our knowledge about the world, learn from others or make friends. The list of our gains can be long enough. However, the list of our pressure on the Mother Earth can be also long unless we adhere to the principles of sustainability, which means,  while traveling  we should avoid actions that might harm or deplete natural resources and do not hurt  ecosystems.  Moreover, as travelers we can contribute to conservation of cultural heritage using Do Not Harm Approach. Using this approach, wise travelers will create positive effect on the communities they visit and leave the place better than it was before or at least leave no trace after you.
