Post 4: A picture I like

I’m not sure if this is a real photograph but if I have to pick an image, this one, is the one I like. I’ve got no idea who took or created it or when, but beyond those details, I think that the importance here is what it represents, “Planet Earth”, or being more colloquial “HOME”. That’s why I like it. It is a beautiful representation of our planet floating in the vast universe. This fact always keeps me thinking about the insignificance of our existence and yet the enormous importance that this tiny particle of cosmic dust has for humankind. From my point of view, this idea is overwhelming, and makes me incapable to comprehend when men give so much importance to irrelevant things such as what color your skin is, what religion you profess, or even worse, which football team you support. To make the picture worse, people even kill for these reasons!!!!! I think that if people took just some fleeting seconds every day to think about the situation we are in the universe, they would probably look back, and for sure, see how stupidly they have been behaving……What a shame!, don’t you agree? :D

Post 3: My Favorite Piece of Technology

This is a very awkward topic for me, basically because I don’t like technology that much. But that doesn’t mean that I don’t acknowledge its importance in this modern world. Sometimes relying on technology too much makes me feel uncomfortable. There is, though, one piece of technology that I consider extremely useful, and that is my laptop. I had to buy it when the online modality began (or I’d better say ‘the pandemic’), and it was something I HAD to invest on. As you can tell by now, I’m not very keen on investing on technology. It is not the best computer I could have got but without it I would have never been able to do my classes online. Anyways, this new computer has been really helpful for my work because the old one I had, didn’t let me use zoom properly. I couldn’t use all the properties this platform has.  Besides working reasons, I only use my computer for personal things such as checking my e-mails and storing information. I don’t like the social networks. I don’t have a facebook account or twitter or Instagram or any of the popular social networks existing, and I wouldn’t have a blog either if it wasn’t one of the tools, we use to make our students write. I absolutely detest chatting, and that’s because I’m usually working when I’m using my computer. I have no interest in making ‘friends’ unless I can see and talk to the person face to face. If I want to talk to a friend, I call that person. If I can’t reach that person, I send an e-mail........

Say what your favorite piece of technology is. Include this information:

- Why is this your favorite piece of technology?

- How do you use it/What do you do with it?

- How does it affect your life?

- Would you recommend using it?
