Illiterate

For some, technology is the only and sometimes it exists. But supposing that technology is going to solve all the problems of life, I think we're focusing on different scenarios that don't benefit society.

There are many ways to do things in the world, if you don't have hot water, you can bathe with cold water or warm up and bathe in a casserole. But so much is the benefit of having hot water right now, that it wouldn't change for other technologies. If I lived in the mountain, with a lot of time and quiet, maybe having hot water at home wouldn't be a problem for that much. Human needs depend on different eras, places and ways of life, and the perception of technology is conditioned by them.

I have recently been able to discuss these issues with some heads of Bilbao (+65). They live alone and alone. They have explained to me that they do not feel part of today's society, that they feel illiterate. They've realized that digitization is everywhere and that it's becoming necessary to move their lives forward. Perhaps, if you lived in a small village, along with your family, in an environment where you can weave other social relationships, you could autonomously channel many needs for life. But these gentlemen I refer to live in cities, on small, lonely floors, far from the family (if they have family). The ability to cope with day-to-day life is reduced as digitalization progresses, despite the efforts they are making. How far can we learn human beings? Last week, an 82-year-old asked me for help with internet management that he cannot do physically. We all have limits, and perhaps with the changes in technologies and the changes that this will entail, we too will be illiterate at some point. There is a lot of talk about promoting relations between different generations, in that listening, but we will have to think about ways of promoting relations between different generations, but the elderly will always live in isolated layers, unable to cope with the social transformations that technological transformations will bring.

Finals on the horizon

Predicting the end of anything has become fashionable. The end of the human being, ideologies, community, authority, philosophy, or democracy. Are they labels full of sensationalism?

Maybe it was Francis Fukuyama who started that final fashion. After the collapse of the Berlin... [+]


Euskal herriarentzat nolako Estatu bat nahi dugu?

Bagira prozesuaren emaitza, Herri bidea bide-orria izan zen. Bide-orri honetan, abertzaleen helburua herriari boterea itzultzea dela aipatzen da, eta boterea itzultzeko, herriari burujabetza maila maximoa emanen dioten instituzioak herriari eskaintzea adierazten da. Zehazten da... [+]

Health workers against the Basque Country, health workers against patients

The demands of Basque Country in Osakidetza are abusive. No doubt. We are putting and mobilizing health professionals in this line. Without being against the Basque Country, with little intention to learn and much less to use.

The new reference platform is “United by a Real... [+]


It's not the only elephant in the class.

Pello Salaburu placed on social networks that within fifteen years the burden of the immigrant population in Bizkaia would multiply to 22% of the total population, which “actually constitutes the threat of the Basque Country”. Of course, thrown in this way, without further... [+]

Vice President Trump and Ukrainian President Putin

The debate about Joe Biden's cognitive impairment lasts about two years. Sometimes he behaved strangely, sometimes didn't get it right or said things that weren't true, like his son had died in Iraq. However, the liberal establishment considered any doubt about its cognitive state... [+]

Good tail

I read two or three days ago an article about the ranks of Guillem Martínez and I do not know if I understood it well. He said that under his house he has a ice cream store that had nothing to do with him and that, in recent times, he usually has people as soon as he opens, one... [+]

Educating attention

I'm not very clear if, individually, we have enough power to guide our lives, but we do have to keep trying. Although a lot can be done in groups, every day we have a lonely struggle with ourselves to move forward. Most human beings spend their time standing on the one-way stream... [+]

Despite the fact that two centuries have passed, the problem of La Plutónica cannot be allowed to fade in the well of oblivion. In addition to 200 years ago to learn about the history of La Plutónica, we must go back to the other side of the ocean, Montevideo.

The group to be examined

The crew is one of the hallmarks of the Basques. Every Basque has a crew or, at least, that is what is expected of a Basque born. It is no less, because we could say that the Group is the social unit of the Basque Country, the atom or basic component of our society. In this... [+]
