Example: My favourite movie scene: I am a big fan of watching movies, I have watched many but I have a huge problem with my memory. It’s just I cannot remember any movie straight away!, I have to think it over to remember the plot, and this time has not been the exception and to write about my favourite movie scene, I’ve had to go over several movies so as to remember.

I was with friends and we wanted to see the non-romantic and alternative side of the city. This picture is a portrait of the memories I have from a good holiday, and even though I haven’t had many superb holidays, because most of time I prefer visiting my family more than anything else, I have had some memorable ones. It was the year 2008, if I don’t remember incorrectly; and I was under big stress because I had had several problems at my job. Anyway, to make a long story short, I dropped by the place I used to work for and they told me: “he...

Technology in our country, luckily, has reached a wide percentage of the Chilean territory and communities making the idea of the access to technologies a matter of such naturality that even at the time of writing this post, Ï heard among my students the surprise of having to think on how technology Is a trigger for social equality, democratization and empowerment of minorities which is all understandable in the face of the national scenario, in fact, according to figures published in several media, while there might be around 65 million people in Latin America and the Caribbean without access to drinking water (just for instance), several studies estimate that Chile has been able to increase the amount of piped water to 99% of its popul...
