the technology & me



My favourite piece of technology is the computer because I can make all I want, from listening to music, watch movies, check my mail, work or even make purchases, all without having to move of my chair. The true is that I don’t remember when I started to use the pc, but my first experience whit the technology was when my father gift me a “Atari” game, wouuaw, I was very happy, then I played every day and as I was the only one who had Atari, my friends visited me for to play pacman, and spider man. Now I must to use the pc, thought I don’t know very much because I am not an expert in computer, because I do not understand how it works, but when something does not wonder what those who know more than me. Generally I am every day sitting in front of the computer, for study or wasting time on internet sites, I am sure that I don’t can stay without pc by long time, and it sounds funny but it's true I happen to like what happens to alcoholics in rehabilitation, I need to revise my mail or other sites.

Turtles Can Fly


The first time I saw this movie surprised me the harshness that sometimes seems so distant to our Western world, and yet so real in the day to day in a village ravaged by war. I was alone watching the movie, tears rolled on my face and I felt completely distraught. This film is set in a small town inhabited by Kurds, somewhere on the border between Turkey and Iraq, in times before the U.S. invasion and the fall of Saddam Hussein. All the residents are children orphans, who gather mines to be sold in clandestine markets at very low prices, as we imagine many of them have been victims of these weapons, but for them, this work is something normal. It is noteworthy that the mutilations, product of the collection of mines are not fictitious. The protagonist of this story is a teenage boy, his nicknamed is Satellite, because his job is to install antennae to pick up the signal channels internationals, this work makes it stand out among his peers, earning respect and admiration. Satellite invents a lie, said that the war has begun, so that people flee to the mountains….
This film highlights the lesser known side of the U.S. invasion of Iraq.
