New Technology#
We can describe our reaction to technology using the following set of rules:
(1) When you are born, everything in the world is normal and ordinary, it is the natural way the world operates.
(2) Anything you invent between the ages of 15 and 35 is new, exciting, and revolutionary, and you may find a career in it.
(3) Anything invented in the world after the age of 35 goes against the natural order of things.
-- Douglas Adams, British writer

Biden Drops Out#
US President Biden announced on social media on the 21st that he is dropping out of the 2024 presidential race and expressed support for Vice President Harris as the Democratic Party's presidential candidate. This is the first time a sitting US president has given up re-election since 1968.
Biden's recent campaign performance has been questioned by the American public and attacked by Republicans. Analysts pointed out that under pressure from the party leadership and threats from campaign "donors," Biden was ultimately "forced" to drop out, and whether Harris can become the Democratic Party's presidential candidate remains to be seen. Biden's withdrawal once again exposes the chaos and essence of US politics, where party interests and money drive elections.

Audi Adjusts Vehicle Naming Rules, Future Models May Be Renamed, Odd Numbers Represent Gasoline Cars, Even Numbers Represent Electric Cars#
As its product lineup continues to expand, Audi has decided to adjust its vehicle naming conventions. Recently, the all-new Audi A5 made its debut overseas, but "this A5" is not the same as "that A5," as it was renamed from the Audi A4. Starting this year, the numbers in Audi's vehicle names will serve as a distinction between electric and gasoline models. In the future, even numbers will represent electric models, while odd numbers will represent gasoline models. Therefore, according to the new naming rules, the Audi A4 will be renamed the Audi A5. Similarly, the Audi A6 and A8 models will also be renamed in future upgrades, with the A6 becoming the A7 and the A8 becoming the A9.

Hot Search! The Truth about Low-Cost Tour Groups: Tourists Drinking Porridge and Eating Steamed Buns, Forced Shopping, Extra Charges "or Being Left on the Road"! Senior Tour Guide: Tour Guides Who Can Make Money Are Like Fortune Tellers#
Several industry insiders in the tourism industry told "Daily Economic News" that the 40 yuan 4-day 3-night Guilin tour is a typical low-cost shopping tour, usually organized by the tour group from the place of departure - the local tour group arranges accommodation, transportation, sightseeing, and shopping. Different from regular tour groups, low-cost tour groups often have longer shopping itineraries.
The tour guides of these shopping groups have very low or no service fees and rely mainly on shopping commissions for income, and they may even have to advance money. The tour group companies compete with each other to attract tourists, and there may be price increases by the local tour group to bring in the tour group. The tour guides need to advance money for food and accommodation, and in the end, they rely on shopping to make a profit. These types of tour groups attract tourists with extremely low or even zero costs and are often referred to as "zero tour fees" or "negative tour fees" tour groups.
