I never liked the idea of being connected to the technology all the time, but unconciusly and without noticing I started to do it. The first thing that I do in the mornings is check all my socials medias and go online  because I like to always stay informed. So now I have to accept that, and  I  can say that the laptop is one of my favourites technology object. My last laptop  was with me (and my brother, because we have to share it) about 7 years. You can imagine that in the last time it became so slow that I really hated it. When we started online classes the situation was turned unbearable. That's how my mom finally made a big effort to give me a new one. My boyfriend (who know so much more than me about technology things) helped me to choose the perfect laptop for me, balancing price with quality.

Even the short distance, this town has a really different way of living if we comparate with the life in Santiago.  The principal economical activity here is the farming, because we have a lot of fertile fields to plant.
