Fast and Fast
My father spent his whole life in the same workshop. He spent more than 40 years without moving from there, but not always in the same task. The ways of working, the machines, the peers, the customers and the products did not change too much, and the plans were not made for the year, but for a few years. In the 1980s, the paternal company ended, and both theirs and the career of thousands of workers.
Currently, labor mobility, the variability of work processes and the expiry of products are common in our companies. Society is changing fast and technology is changing faster, in conversations between coworkers, we often point out that speed doesn't allow us to do things right, that we can't go deeper into anything to be better, that we have to be always creating something new and fast.
"Before Pandemic, many technologies were about to go to the market. Maybe they weren't completely complete and tested, but they were there, ready for use."
The pandemic has disrupted or slowed down many things. With closed hospitality, aeroplanes on the ground, quiet culture, slowed consumption, many companies in the temporary regulation of the company and many others in telematic work. So some of us thought that we had to take advantage of the pause to better organize the jobs and learn more. It has been almost 15 months since the closure was ordered in Europe, and if we look back, we can say that technology has yielded unthinkable leaps. Village cultural bonds, interactive food menus, municipal telematic plenums, telematic access to school curricula, full digitalization of the relationship with the administration, and many other issues were unthinkable in February 2020 and are now normal. What happened?
Before Pandemic, many technologies were about to go to the market. Maybe they weren't completely complete and tested, but they were there, ready for use. The pandemic has completely broken the boundaries and, just as the waters are anarchized when the walls of a reservoir are broken, technology has spread to all areas of our lives and, furthermore, although before the implementation of a technology its usefulness and sociability were taken care of, in this turn it has happened the other way round, that is, humans have had to adapt our habits and customs to the demands of technologies.
Thus, although the pandemic has slowed the movement of the body, it has intensified the functioning of internal organs and, although many of the first companies were already on the verge of following the new technologies, from now on there will be many that look redder.

In this frenetic and vertiginous world in which we live, the social changes that take place little by little seem to us to be sometimes imperceptible, irrelevant or insignificant. That is not the case, however, and we have to be aware of it in order to act wisely. An example of... [+]
On Sunday of September it is customary to climb to Ernio, dance in Zelatun and eat brown chorizo, or something. The worst time you don't need people. This year, when my friends were leaving earlier and I was delaying, I would go up alone, finding the crews coming down. Most young... [+]
In the border book of The House on Mango Street, written by Sandra Cisneros, a character's dog has two names: one in Spanish and one in English. It may be odd at first sight, even for a book, but if you think more calmly, you realize that the world is full of double names. And I... [+]

As in the Middle Ages God dominated, in modern times we live under the market and its rigid laws. The high level wages are determined by the market, as the prizes of the CEOs of Iberdrola or BBVA mark the markets of their sector, although they take 300 times more to the bag than... [+]

Isn't it a sign of pride to look at the people in front of me as if they weren't people? Yes, of course yes. But how can we expect others to understand? Understand, observe, look. Does wanting to understand others not require this proud attitude? Knowing what it is to be a person,... [+]
They say it's been a year. I have never understood the arrogant habit that Westerners have: even if the conflict lasts almost a century, we adapt the dates to our liking, giving away the importance we want. Has the last era been different for the Palestinians who are imprisoned... [+]
