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.
