Hi guys!
I have to tell you that I don’t really like technological objects. In fact, I don’t have more than a cell phone and a MP3. Well, I have a laptop too, but it’s so old and doest work very well, the battery has important problems, so I don’t use it common.
The most technological item that I have had was a MP4, but it died four days later. I think that this types of objects doesn’t like me L
Actually, I conserve my 7th cell phone (I hope to live with it for a long time). It is a Nokia Xpress Music. I really like it, because is easy to use and has a lot of qualities, like an excellent system to reproduce music, it takes nice photos and always has signal, even when I go to visit my family in San Javier. Also, it has a big memory, there I save all the important things to my, like photos with my friends, their cell phone numbers and music that I enjoy. And the most important this is so light and thin, like the photo shows.
As I said before, I’m not very technological so I considerer like amazing things that to other people could be normal. For example, send archives by Bluetooth is an incredible system, that permitting to transfer documents, photos or videos to another cell free. In this way you can share your likes with friends. This is the quality that I prefer of the cell phone that my mother gives to me on last Christmas.

Hi again!

Today is the day to talk about the rice in prices of the transantiago ticket. In the last month the prices of the student ticket has rice twenty pesos: the usually $130 pesos are now $150, this is the price that you have to pay the first time that you arrive to a bus or to the subway, and you have two hours to travel in three different ways with this ticket.
But, most important to the cost that this could produce in every people who use this transport method, is the advertising campaign that the government impulse before, to justify the rice in the ticket prices. Since Wednesday or Tuesday of the last week, diaries publish notices relatives to the boom the evaders that affect the system, that were agree to the information divulge to the most important TV medias, that are related with the right government. In this way, the authority avoids the responsibility of the wrong accomplishment of the transport system and they maintain the images of efficiency that is based the government. The advertising campaign pretends to accuse the evaders like the blame of a structural failure that consist in an implementation problem and difficultly could be resolve quickly.
The big truth is that the transantiago is a destabilize system, so the solution isn’t the public resources injection, that’s the reason of continues rice of the transport ticket.

I really like Habermas’s work. Really I don´t admire his theory, but I think that is interesting to make different critics or sometimes be agree in some points.
He is a sociologist and philosopher from Germany, who born in 1929. Also, he studied psychology, history, economy and literature. His work is based on the historic materialism reconstruction. So is an interesting answer for some problems of the Marx’s theory, specifically about the distance of the technical progress and the human emancipation: he tries to make a hypothesis about the growing social domination despite de technological innovations. In this way, he introduces another dimension to the praxis: symbolic interaction
I like Habermas’s work, because is a complete attempt to enlarge the most important modern theory about society: the historic materialism. For this, he star with an analysis of the social action, and introduce a new concept: the communicative action.
But I think that sometimes his approach is distance to the origin with his communicative action theory. There, this author constructs his ideas based in languages studies. So, is easy to confuse what is the connection with his critic to the historical materialism.
