A person, a smartphone. This defines present-day human beings well. Mobile, Internet, WiFi, laptop, TV. These are things that we all have, things that you can find in every house. Those that help us and make life easier for us. To stay with friends, to consume multimedia, to buy, to acquire and learn knowledge, and also to curiosear.
However, high-end technology reduces our capabilities with the intent to make life easier until we become subjects. We live in a time of growth, but development has reached its peak and decadent point, that of the lives and the natural resources we need to live.
"We're all drugged. With different substances, but almost all. Some with synthetic drugs, some with technology."
But going back to the dependencies, when I was in college in a dependent subject, we learned what the safety distance was. It was a concept I had never heard of. It's a term used in drug use. And I thought it was really interesting to meet him, because we all got drugged. With different substances, but almost all. Some with synthetic drugs, some with technology, to the point of developing unconscious dependence. Most are also drugged with alcohol, as a practice rooted in our culture and as a form of maximum socialization.
In any case, the safety distance refers to the amount to be consumed in order for a substance to produce an effective effect and to have no desired effects. In other words, the difference between the dose to avoid a harmful effect and achieve the desired effect.
Technologies, like drugs, should be used to the right extent. In each case, use can be beneficial, but to a point. The dilemma is that if you don't control, he will consume you.

One of the reasons for the investiture of Salvador Illa as president of the Generalitat has been the PSC-ERC pact. It is not a sovereign pact at all, but in some respects new doors could be opened, unless the political strategy of the PSC-PSOE, which is common, is re-imposed... [+]

My cycles start in September and end in June, actually, (I was going to wear myself, but every time I use the plural a dwarf yells at me in my head, “they will be yours!”), and so it has been in my life, whether there is vacation, whether or not I have paid work on schedule... [+]
In summer, we retirees don't tend to be hungry for vacations, and we can calmly analyze everything around us. Here are some issues that surprised me.

The main feature of my basketball team is its personality. It is usually said that this is a common characteristic between the team and the hobby. However, this identity of all amateurs is not taken into account from the management. In fact, Euskaldunes fans see again and again... [+]
Train stations in many cities show the highest beauty of the 19th century iron structure, along with the rise of arrival at the epicenter of the city. It's like entering the city through the front door, a pearl of architecture and place. However, in many cities, in the phenomena... [+]
Why not leave it. He who writes the columns always follows the apologies of withdrawal in time. Before stocks are exhausted. The issues, to me, I have not been able to exhaust them, because I am not an expert in anything, and I have never had messages to convey to Euskal Herria... [+]
Start of the summer. EHZ festival hangover (atx, headache). You want to breathe after a charged course. Flush the head. Reconnect key elements. Take some time with family, see old friends again and rest (a little) in the daily struggle. Really? !...
As a family, walk to the... [+]
