having nightlife instead of working in the daytime, and some people work at his/her home instead
of physically go to the office. These days, it is hard to expect what is coming to our life during

keep in touch 24/7, delivery food, and even shopping through internet services. However, there
is one thing never changed; the natural laws. All living things lives limited time from one day to
couple of hundred years, and human being is the only one thinking about retire life. There are
