My "new" Blog and My Tech Experience

Hey there,

I am here again and I hope to get here more often than in my "previous" blog experience...I moved to Madrid almost three months ago to start my MBA at Instituto de Empresa and, if everythings go well, I expect to finish my studies at the end of December...2009. After that, who knows...

I decided to re-start this blog after an Information Systems class we had this past week in which Professor Dans "suggested" us to build a presence in the web where we can expose part of what we are learning in his class (including assignments!).

I should admit I am very interested in this class, mainly because of my ignorance in the subject and, should admit again, my disinterest in new technologies apart from e-mail and news access. I consider this is a good opportunity to learn on the topic, activity I would not practice by myself.

Before start writing, I was remembering how I perceived internet access when I discovered its existence and the day I first got "wired". I was 17 years old when my brother told me he was using "his" PC to get to the internet via the home land, of course, phone. He was 12 years old at that time...I did not pay much attention because I was more interested in playing soccer and going out with friends (who, as you may imagine, did not even had heard about the word "internet" either at the time). What I do remember is when the phone bill arrived two months later and my parents were not able to understand the reason of such an increase in the amount due...

Two years after this event, being already 19 years old, I was in college and had to ask my brother for help to get "there" so that I would be able to get info for a class. However, my access was pretty sporadic until I did a trip abroad along with 3 friends in 2000 and one of them had an e-mail account! As soon as I came back from that trip I took a one week class on "internet access, its advantages and something else" promoted.
