Answer 1

1990s guy looks like a geek. 2013 guy looks like a fish.

El tipo de los 1990s se parece a un geek. El tipo de 2013 se parece a un pez.

Answer 5

Su cara ha cambiado mucho pero su cuerpo sige muy joven.

His face has altered a lot but his body has stayed very young.

That just shows what good earphones can do for one :) - ian-hill, Jan 2, 2016

Answer 6

Más que se cambia, más que es la misma cosa.

The more things change the more they stay the same.

Answer 7

Me parece que la técnica se desarrolla rápidamente, pero los sesos quedan atrapados en ella.

It seems to me that the technique is developing rapidly, but the brains are trapped in it.

Answer 8

Not all things change at the same rate.

No todas las cosas cambian en la misma proporción.

There was a time when we only needed to wait a week or two to get over flu now we need antibiotics.

Hubo un momento en que sólo necesitábamos que esperar una o dos semanas para superar la gripe ahora necesitamos antibióticos.

:) - jrschenk, Jan 2, 2016

What's astounding is that doctors continue to dish out antibiotics like candy for problems that don't need antibiotics at all. Antibiotics have been shown to have zero effectiveness on colds and flues, but that doesn't seem to matter. - Kuwabara, Jan 2, 2016

@don Ian. the "que" after necesitábmos is not needed. - Daniela2041, Jan 2, 2016

Gracias Dani xx - ian-hill, Jan 2, 2016

Answer 9

Where technology advances we change, some benefit and some fail ( to change) and some stay the same, but technology has changed us all at some point in time and some technology has ruined and or killed us for example those huge headphones you see.

.Donde la tecnología avanza nosotros cambiamos, algunos avanzan y algunos de ellos fallan ( para cambiar) y algunos siguen siendo los mismos, Pero la tecnología ha cambiado todos nosotros en algún momento,Y alguna tecnología ha arruinado y muerto nosotros por ejemplo los audífonos enormes que viste

They used to be earphones but those are truly headphones :-D - Jubilado, Jan 2, 2016

Lol - Nickelbackfan1, Jan 2, 2016

jajaja, good one Jubilado and Nick. - sanlee, Jan 2, 2016

..donde la tecnología avanza nosotros cambiamos..la tecnología nos ha cambiado a todos en ..algunas tecnologías nos ha arruinado o matado por ejemplo,,enormes que ves.. ;) :) - Pablo064, Jan 3, 2016

thanks Pablo - Nickelbackfan1, Jan 3, 2016

Sad, but true. - sanlee, Jan 2, 2016

Great comment mate , but what year did you ask him ? Thank you for the correction , most welcome. - ray76, Jan 3, 2016

Eso es por qué no pueden escribir bien, lo pienso.

This is why they can't write well, I think.

If only they could see your irony! ;-) - Jubilado, Jan 3, 2016

I did reread it jubilado , I missed the last sentence , I was shocked because Andre is so good , well even , sorry mate I am QuicksDraw McDraw on times . - ray76, Jan 3, 2016

Yes jubilado I have a good mind to put it all back . hahahaha .I did a course once "Teach the Teacher" I need to repeat it . - ray76, Jan 3, 2016

Funny I have always wanted to be able to use " Eso es por " in a sentence , it is a vey good post made doubly so by my poor eyesight (site) - ray76, Jan 3, 2016

You left out the "i" in "caint." - AnnRon, Jan 3, 2016

@ Ann , just as well he did or it would be another case of "fools rush in where Richard Craniums fear to tread. - ray76, Jan 3, 2016

'creo' instead of 'lo pienso' ;) - Pablo064, Jan 3, 2016
