Dimensional screens

Internet is a powerful tool. Technology's evolution provides us many information instantly from all parts of the world. Now you can read books through the screen of your computer, talk with a friend in other country, watch movies and know what happens in middle east. The "Z Generation"- young people that born from 2000 to 2020- are considered digital natives. When they born, technology was present in every corner. In my case, when I was a child, I don't had technology inserted on my life. I remember playing with toys and only pieces of technology which has access was TV and console games (that I particularly enjoyment so much). Internet came into my life when I was 12 or 13. At first. I wasn't familiar with social networks, but then I think that I used them in a exaggerated way. I remember being with my computer and phone twitting and using facebook at every moment, like a necessity. Then I get bored and I not again use twitter, even I close facebook sometimes. Now I use social networks to talk with friends and learn about differents topics, watch movies, discover music and for many other things. Technology allows us being connected in a big world network and we must seize them in a responsible way.

Friendship and music

Friendship is one of the most beautiful relations that you ever will have. Friends are people that love you and you love them mutually. When I have similar musical tastes with other people I feel great, because music is an art that deserve to be shared with people that you love. Carlos, a friend from my town, is one of my best friends and he introduced me in some styles of rock. He recommended me some bands and now I love them, because the sound and musical quality is terrific. Together, we went to two concerts of Steven Wilson - a British prog rock musician - in 2015 and 2016. We enjoy the concerts because the shows were very powerful. Also, together we went to the beach in summer, with my family too. The photo in the right side is from 2014 summer and was taken by my mom. In this photograph we are playing the guitar, happy and without concerns. It represents youth and friendship, and is a beautiful reminder of those times.

Notebook: A entire world in your bedroom (or any place)


The notebook is an instrument that is used for multiple functions. For this reason, this instrument is my favorite piece of technology. You practically have a entire world in a screen and you can make a lot of things on this. Today, have a notebook is very important if you are a student, because you can make homeworks or study in digital books. I had my first notebook when I was 13, but it was more small than the normal size (a thing was called "netbook"). I use the notebook for listen music, watch movies and videos, read and talk with my friends on Facebook. I love listen music and internet has many bands to discover. Practically I use this instrument every day... it is present in my routine and my daily living. I think without notebook I had lost many discovers, because is an instrument that allow you learn many things if you use well

My past, my present and my future

When I was child I wanted to be a fireman and help other people. I used to love fire trucks with their stairs and hoses.  Now, I have 20 and I study biochemistry in the university, but also I had another option before studying this career. This option was phylosophy, because I love the human thought and the greats ideas in the universal history. Right now I enjoy the university activities because I have very nice classmates and I share with them. After university I will decide to keep studying and make a master's or Ph.D. I want to work in a lab and do investigation.

Getting to know each other...


I'm Victor Retamal Mercado and I'm 20. I was born in San Carlos, a small town of Chile but now I live in Santiago with an aunt. I have a little brother called Sebastián, who is 11. In 2014 my mother broke with my father and now my brother is living with her. I studied in Instituto Santa María, a school of my town, and then I came to study biochemistry in Universidad de Chile. I lived all my life in San Carlos, so living in a big city is a new adventure to me. I hope to enjoy the next years of my new life and grow as a person.
