Videogames: Personal evolution Brief reflection on the impact videogames have had on my life, focusing on the Aion MMORPG game

With the recent release of Pokémon GO, I had some sort of reflection time about my history as a ‘gamer’, and I can assert that videogames have been part of me since I was a child. When I was 4-5 years old, I had the chance to play ‘Abe’s Oddysee’ (gameplay link) on a PC. I […]

Brexit… Short reflection about the Brexit and the (obvious) consequences it will trigger

When I saw the result, I thought: ‘It can’t be true’. Yes, it was. English people voted ‘Yes’ in the referendum about the Brexit – basically meaning to quit the EU.

Basic Income: Stupidity or Necessity? Is it the future we should consider to implement in our societies, or just another dumb idea?

Every day that passes, I’m getting more aware that we will be living another economic crisis. I still remember how the Deutsche Bank case had notoriety some months ago, which showed the German financial market’s weakness, and which also generated few troubles recently. Now I wonder: Are we able to keep an economic system like this? Let’s

Self-driving cars The implications of the self-driving phenomenon in a mid/long-term

Technology doesn’t stop to amaze me. I’ve been following this self-driving car trend for quite a long time; especially, the case of the cars fueled by electricity. The main references I have been following are Tesla Motors and the Google Self-Driving Car, and it makes me happy to think that I may not need to
