Simon: Of all those things, what are your favorites? What's your favorite? What's your favorite thing to do?
Lesie: My favorite thing to do is either swimming or what they call aqua-aerobics.
Simon: Aqua-aerobics? What's that?
Lesie: Well, actually, there are different kinds of aqua-aerobics. It's just like an aerobics class but it's in a swimming pool, so there's, so you're not putting pressure on your joints when you're jumping up and down.
Simon: Ah, cool! Any other hobbies?
Lesie: Yeah, um, because it's going to be Christmas soon, I'll be able to enjoy my hobby of baking.
Simon: So what kind of things do you bake?
Lesie: Oh, well, sometimes I bake pies, like pumpkin pies or pecan pies. Pecan pies are very famous where I come from in Florida because we have pecan trees and then sometimes I do cakes, like really rich cakes like red velvet cakes, or carrot cakes, but this year I'm going to be baking cookies.
Simon: Cookies! What kind of cookies, Leslie?
Lesie: Ah, let's see this year's cookies are going to be the traditional Christmas sugar cookie, which is a big cookie in a kind of a Christmas shape, like a Christmas tree or Santa Claus with icing or some colored sugar, very yummy, and some M&M cookies with red and green M&M's.

It all stands for development of technologies. The better techs we have, the quicker it develops. Moreover, we need to make a point on lifestyle change, just image peasant from Dark Ages planning his vacation trip to Miami! Hilarious? Isn't it? But why? Indeed it's a good question that makes you think. Today, people have freedom of choice, as Winston Churchill once said "We are free to choose our slavery". Quite rude but precisely describes modern community. Today, people have technologies, it's our small step to make the nature obey to mankind. Of course, sometimes people are dumb in their will, and sometimes this nature control get's out of control, and we face up with new 'funny' thing - ecology issues.
So far, so good, we've determined that mankind have techs and freedom, those are 2 factors that completely change our life.
