Good & Bad points (so far...)

It's time to have a review of my life!

There's many things I can remember about my past (which is not very long in fact) but as all people I have very good memories,  other not so good and of course others that I'd like to forget them.  As many people,  I rather start whit the bad ones,  so here I go:  One of my worst years until now was 2005,  when I moved to Santiago form Mendoza,  I can remember that my classmates found me so strange because of my Argentinian accent,  and many words that in Chile have another meaning of just Chileans do not say them.  So it was difficult to make friends... but after some months,  I could brake this ice and socialize with my classmates,  persons that still are my friends..
In 2008 I had one my greatest scares of my life,  my mother got intoxicated and she got very ill,  and the panorama doesnt's seemed to be good for her.  In resume,  she stayed one and half a month interned.  I can remember these days when I used to go directly from school to the clinic for have some time with my mother. fortunately she started to improve her health until the doctors said that she could leave and stay in home if we take some concerns.

Changing the face of the coin,  it's time to talk about my greatest experiences... and they take place in this last two years (maybe it is because my memory is fresher).  Last year I was ending my studies at school,  and in my school,  last year students are so important and popular,  so many people prepared to us a lat of meeting and ceremony's in order to say us goodbye.  Another thing was my postulation to university (specially taking care of the feared PSU).  But I got all the support that I needed from my friends and many other people,  which was important to keep trying to complete my goals,  and I did it with many things.

So now in 2014 when I'm writing this blog,  I can remember many things from my experiences lived this year,  the firs one was that I entered to the university to study the career that I wanted and when I wanted,  it's a fact that it's very difficult and you have to create new habits to study,  many things have changed,  you entered in a new class where none knows anyone (except a few cases),  but I could also meet new people from different places of Chile (and different countries too).  So in balance,  I reckon this 21014 has been a nice year for me.  next year I might practice a sport (I love tennis)m, and I also have new aims to complete.

Talking about technology,  is it god or bad ¿?


It's a fact that in just a few years human technology have reached a really high level of development,  and we have been taking advantage of all the facilities that make our lives easier and so far,  but also taking some consequences linked with them. So it was just a little of time needed to question about the influence of technology in our lives,  specially focusing in communication, and relationships with others at all.

I remember when smartphones were launched, people was totally wondered about all the apps,  and different functions that could bring to their phones.  Some moths later this experience reached a different level when watsapp appeared,  I remember that at the beginning I've never thought that app having all the success that today has (until has became an essential one for any mobile).  Or facebook,  this website which have transformed people relationships for ever,  a place when you can keep in contact with anyone you want, even if their live in a different place or his timetable doesn't allow a face to face meet.

So people started to spend too much time in this kind of websites without noticing that they were being consumed by them,  so terms like "be in contact" took strength.  In consequence people got used to do everything using technological gadgets, and time spend talking directly with friends or family has been decreasing due to all this advances.

Fortunately,  some people have realized about it so they try to avoid using their mobiles when they go out with friends or family,  but we've to recognise that reading news at newspapers of searching info from a book in a library is far slower than with our gadgets.  So where's the limit?

This is an invention of Coca-Cola,  that doesn't allow you to tilt your neck to watch your mobile.
