ARE WE TOO DEPENDANT ON MOBILE PHONES?

The era of the smartphones has arrived and we tend to do all things through our smartphonel. This new technology is useful but we don't have to forget the rest of the things in our life; this is what a lot of people are doing.

First of all, we must avoid our dependance with the phone. It's true that most of the people could live without the phone during a period of time. However, there are also people who could njot do it; in fact, every day there are more people in this side.

Secondly, we have to be aware that the line which separates both sites is very thin. We must try to leave our smartphones behint when we are doing other activities with the objective to get over this addiction.

To sum up, most of us are not too dependant on the smartphone but we are near it so we must get away of the line that separates the dependance and the our own autonomy without the mobilephone.

WORKING TO GET A GOOD MARK

The visit to the UAB university made me finally decide which degree I want to get, even thought there are other degrees that are interesting too. It is called “Nanonciència i nanotecnologia”.

Unluckily, this degree is only cursed in the UAB into Spain so there are few places and the mark to entry into the degree is high, last year I think it was over 11. It is for this reason that I am trying to improve my marks and my objective is to get a Batxiller average of 8’5. If I do this, I will have completed my first step and the next objective will be to get a good result from Selectivitat; even more in Maths, Biology, Physics and Chemistry which are the ones that can help me more. There are other points that don’t depend on me like luck or the rising of the mark to entry into the degree; but, as far as they don’t depend on me, I’m not worried about that.

These are my objectives from now until summer but I won’t cry if I can’t get this mark because, as I have said before, there are other interesting degrees. 

IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN'T BE BOUGHT?

Nowadays, we live in a society that value money over all. This is capitalism. Capitalism shows you that the only way to progress is to desire money and try to earn the most that you can. No matter if some people end in the street; you are better, you have better ideas, you earn more money, you know how to destroy the competence. Who can blame you for being more intelligent?

We are like children; we want to accumulate properties to feel successful ourselves. We have forgotten how is the satisfaction to rich a goal, we only want to get it if, at the end, there is some money for you. This is, in part, education’s fault. The evidence of this point is that you are worse seen if you fight for an objective not related with money that if you cheat someone to get some money.

 An example: A commercial convinces that you need to buy a running machine to be well-looking. You buy it and you realize that, with your 40^th, you can’t be like when you were 20^th. Isn’t it a cheat? However, it is totally accepted in our society. The owners of the running machine company are more “normal” in our society that a person who work for free because he likes to do his work. How many people would present their TDR to a championship if there wasn’t a price for the best project?

Of course, there are other people that can’t accept these points. So there are two groups of people in our society: the first group value money over all and think that they can buy anything with money, they try to solve all the problems with money but they become stressful when they find a problem that money can’t solve. In this moment, when they realize that money is not always the solution, they change their position and start to own to the second group of people. The second group knows that are feelings that can’t be bought, so they value other things like friendship, love, motivation to have knowledge, etc.

The truth is that, in my opinion, everybody starts in the first group and almost everybody ends in the second group. The difference is that there are people who change the group when they are children, there are the ones who do it when they are teenagers, the ones who do it when they are adults and there are few ones who never will pass this step.

What I meant with capitalism is not that it is a bad way to govern, only that this type of society makes us to change the group much later that we would to in another society.
