Did you know that sleeping with your TV on, could lead to depression in the future?

By Daniela Mesa

How would you react if I told you that technological devices don’t work as the way you think? Over the years, scientific research has been using animals to check these assumptions, to later test in us, humans.

     A few years ago, a study was carried out with the purpose of discovering some disadvantages of sleeping with technological devices, and it’s a little bit absurd, because we are passing through the Millennial generation, the ones who literally depends on new technologies. But... does it really exist a bad thing in all of this? Possibly, what do you think? We always hear that everything in an extremely way is bad, and certainly it is.

    A research made by the Annual Congress of American Society of Neuroscience and Dr. Rand Nelson revealed that: “The optimum level of light needed by the mammals' brain to rest, is surprisingly low. Researchers associate the effects of exposure to light to a hormone called melatonin, which is produced when the body detects darkness. If there is too much ambient light, the body could produce inappropriate amounts of melatonin".

     To reach this conclusion, they had to go through thousands of investigations and tests, which leads us to think if maybe we are exceeding the use of our devices. This study also states that we can suffer depression, but it is more than just something scientific, the fact of staying for hours and hours spending time on a computer can take us to a point of social isolation, so it is not to necessary scientific results to understand it, we are living this situation, and we must pay attention to that, trying not to exaggerate its use. Another solution is to take small breaks to rest the body. At time of going to bed, try to turn off all of the devices which you have been using, it will also make your body feel rest and healthy.

     Well, this information will lead us to think twice next time we want to spend hours on tv, we are students, most of the time we’re using cellphones, computers, tablets, etc. It´s something like our daily bread, considering that we are living in an age of a constantly use of technology for doing homework, study, research something and also surfing in the net, being more important than going out with our friends and family. Interesting, isn’t it?

The Da Vinci code

By Daniela Arias Chaves

Da Vinci code is a novel that was written by Dan Brown. This book is so interesting because it question the church and their ideologies according to the past. This book talks about the catholic religion because it is said that in the past, Maria did not have her baby miraculously and in some parts of the world say that Maria had a daughter that was called Sarah, and then they took the power during three centuries of France. 

About the plot of Da Vinci Code, we have to be careful because not all the information is true, this book is composed of fiction and true things, this is why the book has a lot of hide things and the church disagree these ideas because there are information that affect the power that they has and if this real secrets got public, the church would lose many believers. 

I strongly recommend this book because you learn to have different opinions about one topic and to have critical through and decide how you can act in front of your beliefs reading or listening things that disagree this beliefs.

Social networks addiction

By Daniel Peñaloza

Currently, young people have developed an addiction to all the social networks. This is a big problem because they are not getting any concentration on what they have to do, that also cause many problems to the society.

Nowadays, is very common to see people with their phone all day, but while many people use their phone to make some activity related to work, most of them use it to chat in Whatsapp, watch pictures on Instagram or only to be distract from their own lives. Some people have serious problems to have a few minutes without their phones, which demonstrates how bad this addiction is. This problem is very dangerous to all of them, because sometimes the people go down the street watching their phones and die because they don’t see what happens in their environment, they don’ t see a car approaching to them or the deadly fall that is front of them.

Currently life has a different rhythm and we can’t lose the time in social networks because maybe something serious happened and we can lose the live in a few minutes.

The social networks were created to bring people together instead of separating them. How is possible that a family is sitting at the table and don’t talk because all is in the phone? We are losing a wonderful tradition for a new technologies.

What is the fourth Industry revolution and why should we worry?

By Catalina Castellanos

Troubled for mixed of digital tecnologies, physical and biological would change the world that we know it.
Sounds a bit extreme, Maybe, but if the prediction came to fulfill, it Will be.

We are around of tecnological revolution that will modify basically the way we live, working and connect between us.  The changes will be different to any experience to have had before.

The revolution it´s mean the transition to new sistems that are built on the structure of the digital revolution. The new period bring with him a tendency of automation of the invoice hand. His name came from a strategy proyect of high technology by goberment of Alemania, about that the people are working since 2013 to bring the total production to be independent of human workforce.

The companies can create Smart network be able to control itself, that means the process will controlled itself and create the products more quicly, sell them, contac with a client, save and renovate the information, reduce dead times at companies and other activities to nowadays are develop by persons along to all the value chain, this could represent an increase for US$14,2 Billions to the world economic in the next fifteen years.

This evolution can mean the disappearance of jobs as we know them, by that the speed, breadth and depth of this revolution is forcing us to rethink how countries develop, how organisations create value and even what it means to be human.

This can start with the change of human activities, for example the mode to work in a office, the human will be more efficient and creative, but the companies will have not a lots of persons to work, because the machines could do the activities. 

Some our us could we be obsoleted to markets and companies. That is a alarm to us for begin to study and change our customs and try to be more professional in many sorts and forget confortable and lazy life.


The real opportunity is know the future of bussines and production for start to train us to be able to control the new technology and foresee the next changes, while grow our abilities and delevelop a new social model. 

The Lucid Dreamer

By Angie Montealegre

You would imagine that you could do that you want? That you could travel to other worlds? That you could fly like a butterfly or maybe run like a tiger. Would this be wonderful or no?

A lucid dreamer is a person that can know what he is dreaming. He controls this, and he does that he wishes in his dream also he can wake up when he does not like happens in this dream. This is an ability that few people have but everybody wants to have or not?

You think for a moment about something that you want to achieve, or you want to be. Something wonderful and magic. How about a character from a book or cartoon? Maybe a super hero? And if this character has powers. Maybe magic like Harry Potter fly like Peter Pan, it can travel to other worlds like Narnia. All of this can do a lucid dreamer and are you a lucid dreamer?

Become a lucid dreamer is possible for anyone. You only must propose it to you and really want it. You know that you are dreaming is difficult, but you can try any things to recognize that you are in a dream. The lucid dreamers recognize that they are in a dream because they realize that things change very fast. An example is that you are in a living room speaking with your mother and the next moment you appear with her on a beach. These things help you to know if you are in a dream or not so first you try to see if that you are living is coherent if this is not very coherent or this is not possible in real live. You will know that you are in a dream. You can try to hit you to wake up when you see anything that you do not believe possible thus you will learn to wake up or if you continue in your dream control this.

There are many ways for you will try to become a lucid dreamer, but you must try fist these two as these are the easiest. The important is that you must really this and you have to try this repeatedly until you achieve to it.

I have tried several times, but I have not been able to achieve. I have arrived to knew that I am dreaming but I have never awakened or controlled my dream. I want to do because I want to live anything different and I want to do that in my real live I do not do. I believe that I will be able to do it if I keep trying.

You will try it. If you achieve control your dream. You would be able to escape each night to a place where your imaginative will not have limits.

  

The subway the discord apple of Bogotá

By Maria Alejandra Bejarano Montes

The metro in the Colombian capital has become a great utopia. It is no secret to anyone that Bogotá has no transport offer. The best system that possesses and at the same time the most disorganized is transmilenio. But, we stay there. And as the human being evolves, so at the same time the infrastructures it uses must evolve.

So we are in front of a problem. Bogotá capital of Colombia has not been able to evolve this stagnant gentlemen.

Let's talk about the subway's important topic. Word of five letters that has led debates and discussions. For some, this idea must be refuted and the integrated transmilenio system must continue. Obviously improving its structure, capacity and coverage. For others Bogotá needs a high meter. Why high? Because it is argued that the investment would not be so high and health conditions would be preferable. And others prefer an underground one so that the studies carried out by the mayor's office but not money that was thrown into the bin and other arguments that are related more with the aesthetic.

Those who defend the position of continuing with transmilenio, argue that the problem lies not in the system but in the integration of this network. That is part of sitp and transmilenio, there are buses and taxis. Each of these belongs to a different private entity. Which is illogical because in most developed countries is the state who handles public transport in its entirety. For this reason, public transport is not attractive, which means that people move privately and many buy cars, creating a congestion and endless traffic jams.

On the other hand, the argument of defending the meter is linked with time. That need that bogotanos and residents in the capital have to optimize their time and that no means of transportation still satisfies.

But beyond that, we must think of a solution to mobility that encompasses different dimensions. That includes the whole population and not a certain part. And with this I also want to say that it is affordable in any social and geographical setting.

Bogota has eight million inhabitants and to achieve an efficient metro system a complete network is required. And for this it takes time is not overnight. But we also need honest people who commit themselves and in reality watch over the future and the change in our city.
