Q1. When the
Oasis of the Seas sets sail later this year, it will claim the record for the biggest passenger
ship, with space for 6,300 passengers, 2,000 more than any other ship. But it will also claim the most
rooms with balconies, the biggest onboard swimming pool, and the first atsea, treefilled, outdoor park.
Those features were possible because of the ship’s unique design.
Q2. More and more people are getting broadband, and high speed net is available almost everywhere, but
there are still a significant number of people who refuse to take the first step. As the cost of getting online
is going down and Internet speeds are increasing, the gap between those who use the Internet and those
without access continues to widen. That means these people will get left behind and miss out on many
opportunities, especially in their careers.
Q3. There are more than 40 research projects being carried out at Davis Station in Antarctica. It is home to
physicists, biologists, weather observers, mechanics, communication technicians, electricians, carpenters,
plumbers, a doctor and a chef. There is also a station leader whose job is to keep everyone happy and
productive and to look after all the paperwork. They have good food, comfortable buildings, telephone,
entertainment, the internet, but for many months at a time no chance of leaving.
