What's the difference between old and antique?
Today at work - during a brainstorm time - there was an exciting debate over the meaning of the words: old and antique.
There are some controversies...! Some people think old is something depreciated and antique is something which "was born a long time ago". For some people old is used as an adjective and antique is almost, and I really mean almost and not fully, used as a noun. For example, the Peugeot 205GTi is an antique, a vintage car (which most people wish to have in their collection), it's almost like a type of car. The Peugeot can be old if its owner doens't know its real value and drives it crazily - with no Goodyear tires, for example! hihi - depreciating it.
On the other hand, there are some people which think those two words are perfect synonymous...
There are some interesting sites about it:

The Social Network
This weekend I watched a very interesting movie "The Social Network", it's not only a drama about the founders of facebook but it's a clear illustration of human's needs. The protagonist builds the biggest relationship site of all at web and still he ends up with no friends. It made me think about our needs... why are we so into these web connections? These "tools": facebook, twitter, orkut, msn, sms and e-mail (this one a bit overpast...!) are so necessary in our lives? Does it really makes us closer to each other? I really don't know... what do you think???
Here the movie trailer:
