Posting in English

My experience in the posting group was very interesting. I have to say that I red a lot of topics, I mean articles, that on my on I wouldn’t never read. And that’s not because I don’t find them interesting. It’s because I wouldn’t find them on the specific website, where Simon found them. For example, the article about the victory city, a different article was that about creativity in schools, and another more examples.

There were although posts that I don’t like that much. These were the topics about the blogs of my classmates. I don’t like to criticize the work of other people, because I don’t receive very well the critics. So I used a lot the declaration which says “Don’t do other people things that you won’t to receive”. And in other way, I don’t have the enough knowledge to say was wrong and what right. For that reason I only make suggestions.

I like a lot the posts which were about things about me, things that I only know, and nobody can found them wrong, I mean my hobbies, the things I like, my life, and so on.
And because of that I want to present the puppies that my dog Pucca gives born last month, because this is the last chance. They were six puppies, but one died the second day, because it has a bad formation of the hard. But the other five are so cute. They are Validor, Iura, Miremel, Ofelia and Fundor. The first four are black pugs, Fundor is the only which is brown. The names where taken from the book “Eragon”, which is one of the favorite book of my older sister Carolina. She own Pucca so she named them, but I was OK, with the selection. I like that book to.

Design Objects of Blade Runner


I don’t remember much about the movie because I was a little sleepy during the projection of it. But I remember parts of this movie, and I’m going to write about this parts.
I want to write about the objects design that I observed on the movie.

The first object that I saw it’s a transparent sphere which dries the hair. I think that this object is not good enough, because it have a los of things that wasn’t considered when it was created. For example, the hair was dried so quickly after it was wet that the hair should burn up, because the air should be so hot. And what happens with the face which is inside the sphere with the hair? It will burn it, because the high temperatures that has to reach to dry so fast the hair.

All the objects that appear on the movie don’t have the kind of imagination that the hairdryer had. For example, the cars and guns are pretty alike to which are today on the market.

Possible Solution to the School System

The speech of Sir Ken Robinson about creativity and education is very interesting. I have to say that I already know that the school education was wrong way ago. In Chile we have suffer a lot of changes in that area the last time. The change of the P.A.A. for the P.S.U., the longest school day, and another change’s, in the school system, that are meaningless because they didn’t attack the main problem in it. I don’t know which is this problem, but is clear that the government doesn’t know it either. I mean that, because of the results that the colleges get on the international “exams”, and the results of the student’s on the government exams.

I’m not sure if the problem is that the education system is killing the creativity, and that the only answer to that is to improve the artistic instruction, but it will be a change that nobody will expected.
