Don't call me a mindless philosopher

When people think about technology is that is a new media to show people what they are capable of, or even to show themselves that they are better than other people. In this case, the internet has made up a world where we can play, chat, show pictures, create videos, learn, earn a diploma, teach, get a job, and many things more. We can do many of these activities in a computer or we can do them in a smart classroom or even in our own home.  In this case, what authors of dystopian worlds and tech worlds try to show up the reader what we can do with technology.  Our purpose with technology is that we can do many things with it, and people use it on an everyday basis. People also make fun of our internet and technology necessity with Maslow's pyramid, where internet is below the basic human needs.   Authors main job is to show people what they are living or what they think it could happen in their world.  The perspective of Ernest Cline, as someone who is ...

As life has been going on, and as science has been evolving, we find out that there were more people doing certain things that we recognize one or two people.  We normally think about the faces of the company, Jobs, Gates, and so on, but not on the faces that really made it come true. That was the case of the Apollo mission, where more than one University or even one part of the government has part of it, but we only think about Aldrin, Armnstrong and Nixon.  And we normanny forget the ones that really made it possible, the scientists, mathematicians, phisics, engineers and so on.  Inside this minority group there are other groups that are part of these groups, but because of  their time,  they were not recognized of doing this job.   Personally there's one story that I like, where they say that Kennedy was going to visit the headquarters of the  mission, and due to the importance of it, and the agenda that was following, he needed to visit this p...

As far as we have learned in all our classes, we should always think of our clients need and uses. But after we get the requirements, a war starts due to the fact that everyone wants to set their point or perspective as the most important one. As we have learned from this case, there is no wrong perspective, but a blindfold one. We tend to seek out what we know and to think that this will be the right answer,  because that is what our story and our world works, but there are many other options.  In this case, I can relate this case to what we live everyday on our classes, where we need to create teams with our classmates. Normally we create these teams with our friends even though they have got the same perspective  and abilities as us. This case becomes a problem because when we need to understand what the client needs and desires we can only see one way of it, when there are many others. We need to think in our users, that could be our friend  or a stranger in an...

A good programmer is not made by how fast he or she can solve a problem, but someone who can help to maintain a whole system  by committing the best practices he or she has been taught.  In this case, what I am referring to is that we are used to hear or think that someone is a good programmer because they  solve first an exam or even because they know all the library of a language, but  that is not right. There are many elements that can be related to a programming language, but a good practice should be the main one we are searching for ( besides the client's desire). In this case we should consider that everything that we are doing will be running on someone's computer or server and that  there have been many years where people have develop this science up to the point where we have ground rules to understand it or to make it better. As we have seen, the gang of four has develop some pattern  elements to create a whole program, but these ideas are rel...
