BLOG 3 - The role of technology in my profession and life.

I believe that like anything else, technology has a good and bad side, and it's up to us to make a contribution and use it for the better. 

I think the most relevant thing for me (a geography student) is to be able to know with inmmediacy what is happening in the world and at different scales, things as basic as knowing the weather for the next week or the same GPS that we use everyday! so... i think technology has definitely boosted the discipline and other disciplines as well. For example... in the past, cartographies or maps had to be made by hand, today programs like ArcGIS make your life easier! (thanks technology 🧐).

I couldn't decide between the smartphone or maybe a musical instrument such as my electronic drum kit. First, the smartphone has so many functions that allow us to communicate, take pictures and videos, listen to music, watch movies, etc. so for me, it's very useful but... i'm not so much fan about social media. And well, having a e-drum i think... it's out of this world, to go from an instrument that for many people is very annoying (especially for the neighbors) is incredible that it's completely silent to play and that it reproduces perfectly the sounds as if it were an acoustic one.

BLOG 1 - A country/place I would love visiting

Hawaii definitely! One of the most important reasons for visiting Hawaii is for the appearance of a paradise, the sound of waves, the sea, hiking around and specially for the tranquility because im a quiet-person so… would be perfect to me disconnect from the technology and well… i think Hawaii is perfect because its a “isolated” and beautiful place. It also has active and inactive volcanos that in my opinion are still interesting but im a little afraid of the level of destruction they can cause.  The first thing i would do is visit the island of Kauai which in my opinion has it all: flora and fauna, rivers, waterfalls, etc. Being there i would like to hiking and swim in the sea, get to know the culture and take pictures, although i dont know if i would enjoy the food as much, since i dont eat anything from the sea :( even so... i would love to go anyway. I learned about Hawaii just by reading on my own and searching online. One of the things that i recently saw is that the Kilauea vol

BLOG 5 - Academic challenges 2021

I think the biggest challenge was dealing with not having a space to study, i mean... i had to get used to the idea of studying and having classes in a place where i sleep and spend most of my time. At first, i didn't even have a desk! so... it was a difficult time until eventually i was able to buy it an then a chair. And well... having a completely slow notebook... ugh. I think i bought it more than a 7 years ago lol but it still works and has been my salvation (sometimes) in this online period. About home learning... i think it's dificult to learn from home but not impossible. I think the main obstacle to learning from home is depending 100% on the stability of the internet and distraction. I have VTR and it crashes every day :( i have already felt the terror of having to make a presentation just after the internet went down 😨.  Finally, what i have enjoyed the most is definitely getting up a little later than i normally do and with that, not having to take so much time on
