Techology in the University

Five thousand years ago with the invention of writing the human race took its first jump towards a technological civilization in today's world; Technology is constantly changing and advancing at the speed of light. It is impressive to think that only a few decades ago cell phones didn’t exist, people used to communicate by phone or by other ways like letters or messages. Now cell phones are considered almost outdated. In our days we have blackberries, i-phones, etc. Now almost all the information is in the web. All the useful websites, images, programs are on the Internet.

One of things that offer technology, through computer is get information that you need for study, do a work for university. In the Universidad de Chile, know that people have access to technology, for that all information with respect to marks of exams or information with subjects, upload to internet in page of university, called "aula digital".
This is the most important in my university life, because all that I must to know is in internet, therefore technology is all in my university life.
Other thing that offer the technology is can discover new things, in my case, last year I used a lot of the microscope in Histology subject, to see our body tissues, this university has the best technology, my teachers tell me that I must to take advantage all that offer me the technology that give me university.
In this year I had to use several tecnological objects, monitors that show me echography,stethoscope, but the most important is the polygraph, which is used to measure physiological changes in rate pressure, heart rate, breathing and skin conductance.

when I came university I discovered the meaning of technology in the life of students, really is the key tool to render an optimal way in university, because give you all that you need, like information about essays, experiments, scientific studies and in all possible languages, giving information obtained in different parts of the world forming networks that serve you in your college life, but in my case the most important is that gives me the chance to see the vital signs of patients, discovering diseases and may well help people in the area of health, specifically women and newborns.

My next trip...

Hi everybody! Today I would like to talk about the country that I have always wanted to visit, and that country is Italy, because I think that is a really wonderful place in Europe, one of the best in my opinion, I mean there’s a lot of historic places, also a lot of monuments, squares, restaurants, etc. And well it is obvius that I would like to travel friends so we can enjoy all the entertainment and fashion of Italy together.
Well what I know about Italy is that, people there is very polite and friendly, also there in Italy the food is amazing (it’s one of my reasons to go there), and as I already said there I’d like to visit all the monuments, squares, museums, and restaurants as posible.
And well I just have to say that I would like to go there but only for holidays, because for me is better to visit this kind of places, that to live there because in my opinion you enjoy it a lot more that being living there and make for example the colliseum a normal thing.
Finally, I would like to go there because since I was a little girl my life had been related to this country because my mother’s family are coming from there, and we have some Italian traditions that we do on my grandpa’s place and on my own that I would like to live there because there is where they born, for example the way we share the dinners and the music.

The films of my life...

Hello, on this occasion I will talk about movies and how they affect my life. The types of films that I like to watch are romantic comedies, because they generally have a happy ending, and during the movie, there is love and laughter; what entertains me much.
I love watching movies in my house, lying in my bed and resting. But the first time I've seen the movie and when I can and I'm not tired, I like to see in the cinema, as the picture and audio quality is better.
I like the American and British films, I think it is because the movie career for quality, also have a variety of frames from which to choose what to see. Contrary to what happens with Chilean films. I think that Chilean films always have the same screen, tend to have love problems and sex scenes are the predominant, for that reason I rarely see Chilean films.
Usually, I see many movies, but very few remember the name, many of them have left me pondering and thinking for a few days, remember them "Slumdog Millionaire." It is a film with a strong social reality, where people who suffer are children; they must live things and difficult situations that usually do not realize or see in our daily lives, but unfortunately is present in many parts of the world.

Neuromyth...

“A young child’s brain can only manage to learn one language at a time”
"The myth that one has first to speak well one’s native language before learning a second language is counteracted by the studies showing that children who master two languages understand the structure of each language better and apply them in a more conscious way. Therefore, multilingualism helps foster other competences related to language. These positive effects are clearest when the second language is acquired early; a multilingual education does not lead to a delay in development. Sometimes, very young children may confuse languages but unless there is a defect in acquisition, this phenomenon later disappears".
In reading the myth immediately remembered my cousins kids, which since the birth of her parents have spoken in English and Spanish and since has 6 years beginning with a bilingual kindergarten, and then enter the school "the newland school”, where English is learned principled rather than the same Spanish. Today they speak both languages perfectly. On the other hand, I remembered a friend, the daughter of Chilean parents, but lives in France, from childhood was in contact with both languages, so now both easily mastered according to the need you have. None of these three people that I took as an example, have problems with neurological development or language, by contrast, are people who are doing excellent in school and healthy.
In the case of any confusion in relation to languages, the best example of me, because when I was a child attending a school where they teach us Italian, then I move to town, and began attending a school where he taught German, and returning to Santiago, I came to a school where he taught English, and at home they speak Spanish, therefore, with so many changes, I could never master one, and that confused me from the start.

After these examples, I can be sure that I completely disagree with the myth, I even think that learning more languages, helps develop more our brains and skills.

Stress: "Fight or Flee"

Hello! In this day I talk about stress, this is an internal state or condition that creates an imbalance the individual psychological for results internal environmental factors, organization where you work or the people around you.
Feelings of stress are caused by the body's instinct to defend it self. This instinct is good in emergencies. Any sort of change can make you feel stressed, even good change. It's not just the change or event itself, but also how you react to it that matters. What's stressful is different for each person. But stress can cause unhealthy physical symptoms if it goes on for too long, such as in response to life's daily challenges and changes. This can make you feel anxious, afraid, worried and uptight. Other symptoms are: Irritability, hair falls, bruxism, tachicardia, fatigue, irregular sleep, irritable colon, back pain, headaches, High blood pressure, Problems with relationships and others.
The stress it affects principally: workers, schoolchildren and university students, school teachers, bus drivers, secretaries, businessmen, and all those people who have to meet short-term goals.
The first step is to learn to recognize when you're feeling stressed. Early warning signs of stress include tension in your shoulders and neck.
The next step is to choose a way to deal with your stress. One way is to avoid the event or thing that leads to your stress--but often this is not possible. A second way is to change how you react to stress. This is often the more practical way. According to the principle of "fight or flee" and I chose fight against stress, and you?

Healthy Lifestyle

Hello everybody, in this occasion I talk about healthy lifestyle. Personally I think that depends on each, the desire we have to live a healthy lifestyle and health awareness that we have in our mind. That's why I'm sure it's possible to have a healthy life in these times, I believe that now gives more than before by the consciousness that we have today.To have a healthy life, it is necessary to take care of the physical and mental health through healthy eating and physical activity. Food should be: low in fat, carbohydrates, vegetables and fruit, lean meats, lots of fluids, a little salt and sugar. And physical exercise to take effect must be at least three times a week.

I try to live a healthy life, exercising at least three times a week, I go twice a week in yoga and when I can go to the gym in the week. On the other hand try to eat as healthy as possible when I can.
I believe that to have a healthy life, does not affect where I go on holiday and the clothes I wear. If I had to choose a holiday "healthy", I probably would go for a walk Excursion to “Torres del Paine”, with clothing and equipment suitable for the climate that there is.
The truth is that I would love a healthy life, as described above, but many times the force of will not allow it, but I have always in mind that one's health is the key to a healthy and happy life.

My Favourite Get-Away

Hello everyone, on this day I’m going to talk about my favourite get-away. Since I was a little girl, I've always liked to visit my house in my field. At first I liked to go because I played all day, I also was during all the day with various farm animals such as horses, chickens, cows, sheeps, pigs and it was something that I really loved. Besides I felt that I was free in that place. When I was growing up, and I did not play all day, but I enjoy stay in a place looking at the beautiful nature that is there and that made me forget everything, that really made feel relaxed and made me have a break from all the stress of Santiago. And until today, I love going to the field, because it is my get-away place, I think that it is wonderful, relaxing, very quiet, and there are many people I love.

This place is in the VIII region of Chile; the village is called Trupan, and is from Los Angeles going to the mountains. Trupan is a small town; in number of population is about 2000 people.

There also have pine plantations, where I love to go for a walk.

Near my house there is a river called "La junta" which in summer is filled with people going to cool off and swim. The village also has a pond full of ducks and swans, where we always go to the dock that is there.

After this it is clear that is my favourite place. God willing, I'll be there Saturday to celebrate the 18 September.
