Nowadays, football is getting more and more popular, and almost 90% of our society have seen a football match in their lives. So, we should answer an important question: is it fair or unfair? Let’s see what I think!

On the one hand, technology has brought many benefits to us; for instance, when we talk about sports. “VAR” is a new technology which is used in almost all sports. It consists on a set of cameras spread across the playing field which are used to see in depth the tricks and make better decisions. To my mind, I think it's a great advance for football and for many sports in general.

On the other hand, It’s important to say that, even having this type of technology, we are still humans and we sometimes make mistakes, as it’s completely natural. However, technology helps us not to make many mistakes and to make football fairer.

To sum up, I reckon that football is getting fairer thanks to technology, but there will be always mistakes that benefit one of the two teams. So, we should understand that arbitration work cannot be perfect at all.

SHOULD MONEY BE SPENT ON SCIENCE?

Nowadays, science is extremely important in our lives, and this importance has been growing in the last few years. We all agree when we say that science is useful, but some people believe that the outlay of the government in it is very low.

On the one hand, there are many people who want the government to spend more money, because the outlay in science in Spain is not high at all. While other countries spend a lot of money to investigate, it has decreased continuously since 2010 in our country, which is something that is a bit shameful. 

On the other hand, I really think that all the fault is not from the government. In our society, many people are not aware of the importance of science and they really prefer to spend money on bad TV programmes rather than in something they are not keen on.

All in all, my personal view is that we should spend more money in science just because, in the future, it will help a lot in the lives of most people as the development will be enormous. But this development will only be possible if we spend enough money.

MOBILE PHONES

At present, mobile phones are necessary in everyone's life, but not essential. However, people don't realize they can live without them. In the current world, everybody uses them everyday, but they are not used correctly, and this aspect could be very dangerous.

Fist of all, the most important advantage of using a mobile phone is you are able to surf the Internet. Therefore, you can find a lot of information. Besides, it allows you to contact your relatives anywhere by calling them or sending messages. Mobile phones can even be used for taking photos or recording videos, so if you are keen on photography, these devices will be really useful. In addition, they provide us with different kinds of applications, such as WhatsApp, Facebook or Spotify.

On the other hand, Internet can create bullying through social networks, such as Instagram or Facebook. Mobile phones can be a danger for your life because there are people who use mobile phones when they are driving, and they can have an accident and kill you. I am willing not to use mobile phones; however, you need them to do homework essays for school, and this may cause distractions in class.

In my opinion, using mobile phones too much causes harm to your brain, but if you are responsible, you won't have any problems with this tool.
