The Use of Technology |

I was born in Barcelona, Spain. So the technology then and now is pretty much very similar than the United States. I encountered here in America with some people that think Spain is a develop country or that is located somewhere in South America. Spain is a European country and is a technological and industrially advanced country committed to innovation and research development. Today, Spain is focused in renewal energy such as solar and wind.
When I moved to New York in 2002, the first thing my mom did is to set up Skype and send me her username. So twice a week we both would connect and not only chat but see each other in real time through the webcam. Another example of the parallel technology between Spain and the U.S. is the mobile devices. All my family owns an Iphone (their phones were purchased in a Spanish Apple store). So what we did is the following: there is an app in the Iphone and even in other phone devices such as blackberry and HTC that is called “What’s up”. Well, the five of us (my Dad, mom, sister and brother who lives in Geneva, Switzerland) we all installed that application and created a chat group. So we can chat t and keep each other posted via text, pictures, and videos. It is undoubtedly that technology really helps the communication among all of us. So the technology in Spain is really similar than the American one, specially nowadays in the globalization world we all live in.
