There are issues that I cannot look at in the moment. I don't know if it happens to you. And I can't look without passing, because I have the impression that I'm not going to be drowned as much as I can, and in addition to the fact, the letters of the event trample on someone who... [+]
I was one of those young people who spent hours in front of the computer. Through the Internet, he discovered the thought of other people and cultures of the world, music and audiovisual media. In those days, it wasn't so common to have a device connected to the Internet, and we... [+]
