Satellite Space-eye does not look
like the satellites of the 1980's. It has large wings that
gather solar power. The power is
for the motor. It keeps the satellite in the same place above
the earth. All the big farmers in
the area have paid for the cost of Satellite Space-eye.
Constanza is one of those
farmers, his home computer makes, the connection with
Satellite Space-eye. He asks to
see a picture of the field in the south-west corner of his farm.
The picture appears on a TV
screen. It is a picture of a green wheat field. Everything looks fine.
He then asks the computer to show
the same area, but in colours. The colours show the
different temperatures in the
field. He knows healthy wheat plants will all be green. The TV
screen blinks and a beautiful
picture appears. It has many shades of blue, red, and green.
Constanza looks closely at the
large red spot near the middle of the wheat field. He
knows that something is wrong in
the wheat field. The red colour means the spot is warmer than
its surroundings. It may be due
to-lack of moisture or not enough nutrients in the soil. Insects
eating the wheat can also show a
red spot.
Constanza tells the computer to
tell him more about the warm spot. The computer points
out that the problem is a
shortage of nitrogen in the soil. He asks the computer to predict the
harvest if he adds the
fertilizer. He then tells the computer the current market price for wheat.
He also tells the price of the
fertilizer. He asks for a costing. He wants to know if it will give him
a profit to add the fertilizer. The computer gives
him the answer, is it a science fiction? No, it is happening now.

Dear Rossa,
I am a guy, twenty-eight years
old. I have a problem with a girl friend. She is twenty five
Ebtanas/Bahasa
Inggris/Tahun 2004 4
years old. We have been dating
each other for years, since we were high school students. Now
we have jobs. I feel very sure
that we love each other. Now it is time for me to get married.
Unfortunately, her parents never
approve of our relationship ever since the very first time. My
family, anyhow, does not really
mind. At first I thought my girl friend had the power to defend
our love. But then he
surrendered. She loves me and she loves her family too. On the one hand
she said, "I'll be happy if
my family is happy." It means she had to get approval from her parents.
For this, I was shocked. My heart
was broken. She ended our relationship just at the
time when I was ready to marry
her. When I was with her, we were very happy. We had a lot
in common and there were no
conflict. The truth was, we separated only because of her
parents. They want her to marry
her cousin, her aunt's son (this is one of the traditions in the
Karonese).
For the time being I am very
upset. When I miss her I call her. Then we can eat together,
talk together for hours. We act
like dating because she loves me, too. The real problem is, she
cannot refuse what her parents
want.
So, should I forget my girl
friend, the only one that I truly love? Or else, should I just
wait, and dream that one day she
will be back to me?
Rio N., Padang
Dear Rio,
You call her
your gil friend, but she has chosen her own way. For this reason I'd say that
there is nothing
your can do except forget her and go on with your normal life. Hopefully
you can find
another and live happily forever.
