Oi gente bonita da net!

Agora estamos aprendendo expressões idiomáticas e é uma coisa mais estranha que a outra não é mesmo?
As expressões que eu considero mais estranhas são:
- to burn the candle at both ends: queimar a vela nas duas pontas (tem que ser muito burro pra fazer isso não é?)
- Out of the blue: fora do azul (o que isto tem relacionado com o inesperado?)
- boils down to: ferve baixo para (????)
- put ones foot in ones mouth (isso é nojento, mas não impossível)
- to feel blue: se sentir azul (tá, eu até entenderia se into significa-se estar com enjoo)

Internet

Researches and social critics are debating whether the internet are improving or harming participation in comunity live and social relationship. Computers until not long ago were used only in science and business, but nowadays  the internet is in the home as an essential tool.
Although the internet is basicly about communication many of its key activities remain remarkable lonely occupations causing people to become social isolated. People are catered of from the most essential form of social interaction that is face to face communication. People are getting together less, visiting friends less, and giving fewer party.
But for those who can't resist the (?) entertainment, things are even worse. For such people work, family, friends and sleep are replaced by a virtual world cartoons and games.
Studies conducted by the University of Pittsburgh concluded that the more time spent on the internet at home, the more likely people are to be isolated, lonely, depressed and dependent. This new kind of dependance, called internet addiction recently began to be treated by psychologists. Some of the major internet related problems reported by psychologists and colleges counselors included increased level of divorces, child neglect, job termination, death, flunking out of school and legal problems.
Professionals advice internet users that it is very important to plan time to spent online carefully, and make sure that time spent online is quality time. Users must learn to discriminate between what is good and what is bad on the net.
