🤖 Where "Robot" Comes From
The word "robot" was invented in 1920 in a Czech play. It comes from the word "robota," which means "forced hard work." Back then, people were already dreaming about machines doing chores!
👗 Sewing by Hand
Some high-fashion dresses shown at Paris Fashion Week take over 1,000 hours to make by hand! That's more than 41 days of non-stop work,  just for one single outfit! Fashion is serious art! 🎨
🌌 Millions of Asteroids
There are more than one million known asteroids in our solar system, and scientists discover new ones every single week! Most of them live in the "asteroid belt" between Mars and Jupiter. 🪐
😴 You Sleep A LOT
The average person spends about 26 years of their entire life sleeping! And we spend another 7 years just trying to fall asleep. That means roughly one third of your whole life happens in bed! 🛌
🏆 Paralympics Are Ancient
The idea for the Paralympics started in 1948 when a British doctor organised a sports competition for World War II veterans with spinal injuries. There were only 16 athletes in that very first event! Today there are thousands! 💪
🕶️ Smart Glasses Tried Before
Google actually released smart glasses called "Google Glass" back in 2013, but people found them strange and uncomfortable, so they were discontinued. Now a whole new generation of companies are trying again with better technology! 🔄
