TeChN°LoGy

I think that the technology is very good for people, because it simplify a lot of things and it could be a form to help people with their health or simply having a better life.
my favorite piece of technology is the notebook, because i can do a lot of thing that i love, like play games, see movies, save my pictures, talk with friends when they are in other countries without spend money, make the university´s works like 3d models, plans, pictures, I don´t know, a lot of things, and the tools are so varied.
In effect, nowadays, celphones can do a lot of things that a notebook do but not all the things yet. And the over used term ¨it´s better 1 bird in hand that 1000 flying¨ it could be related with if you concentrate all the things in one piece of technology it does not mean that all the thing will be the best. But the technology is advancing very fast and the day of tomorrow we can get all the things in one piece of technology, or even in ourselves. For example once I listen about people in east that they had a chip in their wrist with a microphone and I don´t know how but their called other peoples just with their hand like handphone hahaha, or chips in the neck of pets for when they lost.

PiChiDaNgUi



Pichidangui is a beach about two hours north of Santiago, between Los Molles and Los Vilos, i have travelled all my life to this place with my family and friends. My house is actually in Quilimari, Pichidangui is at sea level while Quilimari is closer the hill, but it's the same hahaha.
I can't remember a vacation without being there.
there are wonderful places to visit like the church in the rocks with the sun in the horizon, the "devil seat hill" which i go up all years.
Another place to see is Quintrala's cave in the north of the beach,
this year i went with my parents. As well there is a beautiful river with a bridge in the end where a competition of Peloton the reality was filmed.
It is very nice go to pichidangui in my vacations because i can relax in this landscape seeing the sun sit in the rocks. Aside from the places to see, i enjoy going because i have a friend that has a house
in pichidangui and we always get together and go down to the beach.
i really recommend this place to visit or even live there. Or even go in september 18th because there are exelent and very very very fun "fondas".

The website link is:

http://www.plataformaarquitectura.cl/

It is a website creted specialy by Universidad Catolica de Chile´s Architects. The bosses of the website are David Assael and David Basulto (both architects of universidad Catolica de Chile)
Here you can find proyects, competitions, plans, maps, pictures, videos, etc.
you can see the last buildings, the last tecnology, the last materials, etc.
it´s a very complete website for architects or students of architecture.
I don´t visit the website periodically, just when need a plan or a map, but all days i recived an e-mail with the last publications. I think that it´s a very good website becouse if i need something for a building or i need a reference for a proyect, this website could be the best because the pictures have a good quality and there are good plans.
the website have a page in Facebook, well, today all the websites have an user in Facebook, but, i don´t know, i´m a fan of this website because in that way i have the architecture present all the time hahahaha

sometimes i saw the pictures in the website and i downloaded it for my backgroud computer, there are beaaatiful pictures.


i really advise this website :)
