In these ads the space and the people look perfect. Everything is orderly, clean, everything seems easy and just a tap away. But people seem lonely ... Or between them there is always technology (communication is always mediated ...)! It seems that nothing can ever be the natural way ... But people seem happy or are not aware of their unhappiness.

Perfection is an utopia, but too much perfection here, seems like dystopia ...

 Yes, I believe that technological determinism is convincing. Technology has always influenced and influences the society, the culture, the way we do, how we think, how we learn and teach, from the Stone Age to the present and also the future. But there are always those who can keep up and those who for various reasons are and will be excluded from information and technology. So we have to prepare to the future ...

Music can be Utopian or Dystopian... Music can transport us to other states of mind and superior feelings (good ones or bad ones...) What do you think?

This one talks about Love, Technologies, and ... With a lot of symbologies...
What do you think?
communication through music with ETs! Universal language??


The technologies improve cognitive function, organize thinking, enhance intellectual economy or ecology. Moreover, the technologies can function as our external memories ... That's what we want for education? Are we losing some of the internal mechanisms of memorization? What are the consequences? If we have a large amount of data and information stored externally in technological devices, which means we will be better prepared to learn in a more creative and imaginative way?
The technologies give rise to a new educational paradigm, in which predominates the multimedia. There is no doubt that the technologies influence the culture, news perspectives and ways of thinking, representing a gain in education, because they promote learning more practical and dynamic. Through new media, interaction is promoted, diversity is fostered , tolerance and sharing of knowledge through discussion and involvement of all in the process of knowledge construction is encouraged.
