Today,  education has changed in many ways over the years.  We knew , that education over the years has evolved and has achieved important changes, which some consider for good and others not so much, but what is important to highlight is that there are many  factors that have revolutionized the way in learning, for example   the method of teaching and  the incorporation of new technologies.
In the past, teaching was based on theory and little on practice. The way of learning was based on repetition. The student had to repeat the lesson, memorize it, and with that he already learned a topic, even if he could not understand everything.   Now,  education is more participatory and teaching is more advanced and practical, where teacher and student share not only knowledge but also experiences in order to achieve a more interesting education. In addition to the use of technology, education is made easier, more practical and more advanced.
Another thing that changed in terms of education, were  the materials that the students used to use, a notebook, a book and a pen were the elements they needed, even the teacher carried  different  elements,  such as   maps ,  mockups  or posters to teach. Now, schools  have virtual classrooms in which smart blackboards have replaced chalkboards, and classrooms have become virtual spaces for education. Practically, everyone carries their computers or cell phones to perform the activities   which favors the learning of the students.
Years ago, to research on any subject ,  students had to go to a library and look for the books they  needed. Now Google has the answer to any doubt and just by typing what is needed and a clicking, in seconds they  can obtain  the book or   the required information.
The arrival of new technologies in class school has marked a new stage of transformation for education. We consider that we could no longer live without many of the comforts that this tool gives us. Even more, many students wondered how one could study before without the Internet and without digital devices.
In short, there is no doubt that education   today, has nothing to do with that of other decades, the changes are evident and are strongly linked to the advances of society.

Every year the companies take the opportunity to show or present new products or services. Also, we see how important has become the way in which a product or service is presented to the people. Nowadays, those companies choose to present their product or services through social networks and applications to download in different devices. It’s common to buy something or pay for a service using an application such as Amazon or Mercado Libre. Thinking about the potential buyer or client, which are the advantages and disadvantages to use these applications? Here you will discover them.

Considering as advantage, is evident these applications allow us to have access to general and specific information about whatever you want to buy, in a rapid way. This is something amazing since it is not necessary to go out and walking in order to look for what you want. It is like you have the market in your home. You see something and if it like you, you can get it and it is yours. Another positive characteristic is using the apps you can get important discounts because the companies generally public their sales firstly through their apps, via online every week.

As a disadvantage, some people do not use these app and any social network. They like to go out and buy their goods face to face, that is, talking to the seller. To this kind of people there is no app or social network which can persuade them to get a product or service. So here, we can understand why sometimes there is bad attention or you can see something unexpected in some local market. They are focused in the online clients because the products exposed are not clean or are in the store ready to be sold to online clients. Also buying via apps can make you buy something you do not know if it will work as you believe.

To conclude, we can see how the market is changing little by little because the ways of communication is changing too. Big corporation and small business are gaining more consideration not only in the streets of towns and cities they also are present in our homes converting us as potential clients the 24hs of every day. There are pros and cons of this. The good new is we have options and choose whatever fit according to our needs.

AND LET`S THINK ABOUT EDUCATION..HOW MUCH HAS IT CHANGED?

The media have been advancing in recent years. So, the media have been changing. Nowadays, to keep you informed, what means of communication do you use? The most recent or the oldest?

The oldest and most traditional means of communication were always television, radio and newspapers. One could always find information in any of the three media. However, a disadvantage was the lateness of the news. It was said that the radio was always the first to transmit the latest information. On the other hand, the newspaper was the longest since the news appeared in the newspaper the other day

Another downside were the schedules. To know the news people were always broadcast at certain times. They were mostly at one in the afternoon or nine at night. Only at those times one could be informed. Some could, some couldn't. However, this has been changing in recent years.

Nowadays, the means used to communicate have been changing. This is due to the advancement of technology. Today, one is not aware of a radio or newspaper, but is always using the cell phone.

This is the most recent device that allows us to stay informed. Less and less paper is used and more digital is transmitted. The different news portals have had to be updated by creating digital pages to communicate. The good thing about this is that you are always on your cell phone. For ex; when you go shopping, for a walk or at work. Therefore we can always watch the news. Not only that is the positive, but also the schedules.

You can watch the news anytime you want. Each one adapts to its time and you do not have to wait for certain times to find out. The new media have benefited us completely.

Finally, technology allowed advances in communication. Today we are not only informed of what is happening around us but also of what is happening in the whole world. And you, what media do you use?

If we consider communication, we have to think in many changes.  Some years ago, some people dIDN`T have the access to a telephone. If you want to talk with someone, you have to writte a letter. Nowadays it is very different, because the 90% of the population, has a cellphone. It is useful to communicate with people that are in other places,but it is bad for people that are around us.

Over the last years, technology has been changing and taking an important place in our daily lives. We can easily see how 30 years ago, we did not depend on technology as we do today.
Nowadays almost all of our actions are at some point subject to a technological device. Education, health, personal procedures, housework, and many other daily activities go hand in hand with technology, the best examples can be seen today when this pandemic has affected our routine more than ever and technology has become a way of life for our work, study, and paperwork.
If we analyze this phenomenon we can say that technology is a two-sided coin, that is, this has its good side and its bad side. Among its good things we can list some, such as technology helps shorten the distance between people, provides information of any kind, among others.
Its bad point is that many adult people have been left out of these changes and many times they see themselves outside a system that is crossed by technology.
In conclusion, technology has come to stay in our lives, to improve it or not is a personal appreciation. However, we must always keep in mind that we can choose How and When to use it, so as not to become dependent on it.

Communication has changed a lot in the last 30 years. Before people communicated by sending letters, faxes or e-mails, which was less common. For example when they sent a letter the responde was not immediate. Besides It was very rare for people to have a computer at home, so they had to go to a cyber café to send an e-mail or fax. That is why communicating with other people at a distance was not easy and took a long time.
Nowadays it is rare to think about a person without a personal cell phone or a computer in her/his house. It is easier to communicate with other people because messaging is instant. We can communicate via WhatsApp, Messenger, e-mail and phone call through the cell phone and we will receive the answer in a very short period of time. It is incredible how communication has grown the last years.

..Some 30 years ago people didn´t have various ways to   communicate as it is today. Most of our parents wrote letters to communicate with friends and family, or they had to communicate face to face. Nowadays communication is more advanced.  With the help of new technology people are able to communicate in different ways.
We are now able to interact not only with our friends or family but also with thousands of people all over the world using cell phones,emails,social media, etc.  .Before that, the means to interact with others was limited, now we have everything at the touch of our hands. I think that the most  common way to communicate is through our  cellphones which has become  an important part of our daily lives and make our lives easier because it has many functions.
To conclude, life would be incomplete without interacting with others, No matter what century is, people need to communicate. Some years ago, there were several disadvantages in communication but today the communication has progressed and I´m sure  that this evolution will continue .

Compare our grandparents’ attitude towards meal times with our own.  Chances are our grandparents had a much stricter routine than we do now. Thirty to forty years ago it was typical for a family to have their meals at the same time every day.  In modern days, however, a lot of people have lost this disciplined approach to meals and no longer stick to the 3-meal-a-day rule. Skipping breakfast, snacking and several cups of coffee a day are notions that our grandparents would never have considered.

Today, we are surrounded by choice. Not only do we get to choose when we eat our food, but we are also provided with a vast selection of food choices. Takeaways, fast-food and ready meals have changed the way that meals are prepared and eaten. Why bother spending hours cooking when we can head to the supermarket and buy everything ready-made?

Long gone are the hours spent slaving over the stove. Instead, convenience food has become much more popular, with people reaching for convenience foods and microwave meals several times a week.  In today’s world, we spend a lot more of our days dining out at restaurants than we did in the past. For our grandparents, eating out was likely to be a rare treat saved for special occasions.

In our grandparents’ day, learning how to cook was the only way to be sure of a good meal on the table, and it was usually done by the woman of the house. These days, cooking has become almost a hobby rather than a necessity.  When cooking their meals, many of our grandparents grew a lot of their own vegetables and shopped daily for groceries due to the lack of refrigeration.

Food allergies and intolerances are more common now than they ever have been. This is often attributed to processed, unnatural and chemical-filled foods none of which were present back in our grandparents’ days.

Even though there's no hard evidence to suggest that we're worse in the kitchen than we were in the past, we're just no better at it either.

Looking backward, our society has witnessed many changes around the world over the last 30 years. Nowadays, people have access to different sources of information through the media, social networks helping to form our society of knowledge. In this society, women have had important changes giving them more participation in many life aspects and giving hers the opportunity to be an historical protagonist. There are two main facts in which these changes can be easily seen.

Talking about the family, women have a strong role in the marriage because they can take care of their children and participate in different issues. In this sense, the family as an institution has changed, because women are as important as men in the fact of collaborating with the salary and working outside. In the 90’s we could not see these characteristics because women were only to keep the house.

As regards the laboral aspect, thanks to the modification of laws, women have got not only more participation in the laboral market, but also, they have access to decide the fate of a business as a CEO, or to manage a country as a Minister or President as well.

In other aspects, women have equaled men in many other jobs, for example women can drive a bus, truck or whatever they want. These marked changes have permitted women to manage in occupying the same jobs as men.

Traditionally, men and women had completely opposing roles, men were seen as the provider for the family and women were seen as the caretakers of both the home and the family. Today we see how women have built and marked a new paradigm where the society of knowledge is encouraging their active participation. Although there is a long way to go.
