Instagram is a fast, beautiful and fun way to share your life with friends and family. Take a picture or video, choose a filter(ÐÞͼ) to transform its look and feel, and then post to Instagram¡ª it¡¯s that easy. You can even share to Facebook, Twitter and more£®It¡¯s a new way to see the world. So many photos of food are contained on Instagram¡ª now a pop-up diner in London is taking advantage of this new trend by letting people settle the bill for their meals simply by uploading photos of their dishes to social networks£®

I always thought people¡¯s taking pictures of their food was kind of silly, but at this new pop-up restaurant in the UK, I¡¯d probably do it too. ¡°The Picture House¡± is the world¡¯s first pay-by-photo restaurant. You order, click a photo of the food, share on Instagram and eat for free!

The restaurant belongs to frozen food giant(¾ÞÈË) Birds Eye, who came up with the idea to cash in on people¡¯s addiction with photographing food and sharing the pictures online. They conducted a survey and found out that more than half of the British population regularly took pictures of their meals£®So they realized it was a better way to advertise their new dining range£®

The pop-up diner was open in Soho, London for three days in May, and is now moving to other major UK cities. They serve two-course meals that customers don¡¯t have to pay for, if they photo and Instagram it.

The restaurant is a part of Birds Eye¡¯s ¡°Food for Life¡± campaign, a new marketing project that aims at changing the way people look at frozen food. ¡°Taking photos of food enables people to show off and to share their mealtime moments¡ªfrom the everyday to the special, ¡±said marketing director Margaret Jobling£®

The reaction to the Picture House has been great so far. And the pay-by-picture concept has proven to be an effective way. Alternative payment methods are actually gaining popularity among a lot of businesses. Last year in a cafe in Germany customers pay by how much time they spend there, not by what they eat£®

Back in 1969, it was the Apollo 11 crew who flew to the moon in a spaceship. When U.S. astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin ¡°Buzz¡± Aldrin stepped foot on the moon, they were the first. Meanwhile, their fellow astronaut Michael Coilins circled the moon in their spaceship, named Columbia.

When Armstrong and Aldrin were done with their walk£¬they returned to the command module, and back to Earth. That part of the spaceship is on view at the Smithsonian¡¯s Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. But, if you cannot get to Washington£¬soon you will be able to see Columbia on your computer or your smartphone.

Digital scientists are scanning the inside of the spaceship. They are creating an online model, in three dimensions, or¡°3 D¡±. By looking at these photographs, you will be able to see outer space£¬the way the astronauts did. It will be like sitting in their seats.

Want your very own Columbia spaceship? You will be able to print a 3D copy of Columbia. Experts say anyone can make a life-sized model. But they expect most people to make smaller models of the 320¡Á400 cm(11¡¯X 13¡¯)command module.

Scientists are using special 3D technology to scan the inside. They use cameras on long arms to take the photographs. The thousands of photographs taken will be combined with 50 laser scans.

What would it be like to sit inside Columbia and take a look around? All the images will be loaded into software that allows you to look around the module on a computer screen. The user will be able to see the Columbia both inside and out. The Smithsonian says that the 3D technology gives the user ways to see things they cannot see at the museum. And it will give information that even the museum curators(¹Ý³¤)have not seen before.

¡°With the Command Module, no one has been inside since it came into the collection,¡± says Adam Metallo. Smithsonian 3D imaging specialist. ¡°Now the information we capture can give anyone in the world a view of what it looks like inside this incredible piece of history.¡±

How many times a day do you check your email? When you wake up? Before bed? A dozen times in between? The technology that was supposed to make our lives simple has taken up too much time. The average young man spends more than seven hours a day using technological devices(É豸), with an additional hour just text-messaging friends.

The advantage of technological devices is connectedness: email lets us respond on the go, and we are in touch with more people during more hours of the day than at any other time in history. But is it possible that we¡¯re lonelier than ever, too? That¡¯s what MIT professor Sherry Turkle observes in her new book, Alone Together, which clearly describes our changing relationship with technology.

For Turkle, the biggest worry is the effect the weak connections have on our development. Technology isn¡¯t offering us the lives we want to live. ¡°We¡¯re texting people at a distance,¡± says Turkle, ¡°We¡¯re using lifeless objects to convince ourselves that even when we¡¯re alone, we feel together. And then when we¡¯re with each other, we put ourselves in situations where we are alone¡ªalways on our mobile devices. It¡¯s what I call a perfect storm of confusion about what¡¯s important in our human connections.¡±

Moreover, communicating online is not equal to face-to-face communication. Online, you can ignore others¡¯ feelings. In a text message, you can avoid eye contact. A number of studies have found that this generation of young people is less sympathetic(ÓÐͬÇéÐĵÄ)than ever. ¡°That doesn¡¯t lead to disaster,¡± says Turkle, ¡°but the disadvantages still cannot be ignored.¡±
