I traverse the vacant and colorless streets of the city as the endless rain pours unto me. The street seems to go on forever. The buildings, cars and even the traffic lights all seem to be the same. I then decide to stop and look up to the sky. No ray of sunshine is to be seen; the world is now consumed by the darkness of the torrential clouds. As I look back down, I notice there is someone off in the distance. The person remains staid, starring into a sky of nothingness as the rain pours over. I decide to approach this person, but I can’t seem to get closer. I sprint, but I can’t seem to reach. My surrounding keeps changing, yet it remains identical. This mysterious figure is still several feet apart from me, yet I can’t get close. I give it all just to reach my goal and uncover the truth. My legs become numb and weak, and soon I find myself on my knees, exhausted. I try to catch a breath, and as I look up again, the person is right in front of me. I jump back, perplexed, as I try to get back to my senses. The rain has stopped, and now I can see the face of the person in front of me. Those blue eyes and golden hair seem familiar to me, yet why can’t I recognize this person? It somehow resembles me, however that can’t be true, I’m still here, pondering, trying to comprehend the situation. I endlessly stare into those eyes, painted with that beautiful shade of blue. I have seen color for the first time, since I got lost in these black and white streets that are my life now. As I stare into those eyes, I notice the person is now smiling at me. It was almost as if I was staring into a mirror, however the reflection was showered with a vast array of colors. Who is this person? Why do I have this eerie feeling that I know who this person is, yet at the same time I feel it is nothing but a stranger? The person now decides to run, waving at me as if to follow the lead. I run behind, as if I was behind a butterfly that was painting my blank canvas that is my life with the most vibrant colors. I could care less as to where I was headed, I was enjoying that once inanimate place, so different and yet full of life and color. There were rose petals flying all around and the sun was shining vibrantly. Suddenly, the person decides to stop and turns around and faces me directly. The person smiles at me once again and now I have come to the realization of who I have been facing all this time. The remarkable beauty is now clear to me. I smile back and run as if to hug the person, that now I know was always present in my mind. As I approach, a fierce wind blows the rose petals, taking away with them the person that stood in front of me. The sun was now covered by the gray clouds, and the rain started pouring again, washing away the colors from my life. It is now that I got to know who you were, that I wish you were still present. My life feels empty once again. I decide to look around, to see if you were still here, but I realize I’m stuck again in these vacant and colorless streets. Was it all real, or was it just an illusion? Can I see you again? I only hope you return to me and paint my life with your beautiful colors once more. You are my escape from this dull world, so please come back and stay with me forever.

La impresión 3D, también conocida como fabricación aditiva, es un proceso aditivo de fabricación en el que una impresora 3D crea objetos tridimensionales depositando materiales capa por capa de acuerdo con el modelo digital 3D del objeto. (ALL3DP, s.f.)
Breve historia:
La creación del 3D printing llegó en el año 1,981 y su creador fue Hideo Kodama. Kodama creó un prototipo el cual utiliza fotopolímeros, con él se construyeron modelos impresos en capas con diferentes formas y tamaños. Luego en 1984, Charles Hull inventó la estereolitografía, esto es lo que le permite a las diseñadores a crear modelos sus máquinas 3D.
Aunque la primera versión no fue perfecta, uno de sus materiales claves es el fotopolímero y el rayo láser, el cual, al mantener una parte del material expuesta a la luz, provoca que instantáneamente se convirtiera en una pieza plástica sólida.
Esta máquina, a pesar de que ha llegado a ser muy costosa, ha logrado cumplir grandes expectativas. Lo cual provocó que la impresión 3D se volviera una sensación comercial a partir del año 2006.
Usos:
Algunos de los grandes usos que se le ha otorgado al 3D printing han sido los usos médicos, donde, por ejemplo, se han creado órganos implantados en humanos también existen el uso de huesos, prótesis y células madre. Junto con esto también se han hecho otras creaciones como drones, anillos, partes mecánicas de autos, armas e instrumentos musicales como el Violín. Uno de los objetos más grandes que se han hecho con el uso del 3D printing ha sido un barco o lancha hecho por la universidad de Maine.
Otros usos básicos de la impresión en 3D son:
Desarrollo y fabricación de productos
Creación de modelos para futuros productos potenciales
Explicación de conceptos complejos
Descripción

As unsettling it may seem, there is always someone or something watching over every little detail of your online routine and profile. Social media platforms, such as Facebook and Twitter, are capable of recollecting data from every single activity and information you upload in their platform, regardless of whether you deleted them. These social media sites store this information in their data archives to distribute them to advertisers or other clients, which they then can control and utilize freely. Moreover, social media apps can access other forms of information which is stored on the device its being accessed from. For example, Twitter and Facebook can access your internet searches which then is processed by an algorithm to provide content that will cater to your preferences, without the user even realizing or even utilizing the application. Nevertheless, this does not compare to the amount of user information Google can store. By utilizing Google Takeout, you can request Google to send you a copy of the files, information and data they have gathered from you. Some of the data you can find archived include: The various locations you have visited and when, what applications you have utilized and for how long, all the pictures you have uploaded and deleted and anything regarding internet navigation. All this is possible from the moment we give access to these platforms to verify our system storage, cookies and cache. Considering the vast amount of data these online sites can store in their database, one must always be wary of the content they share and the different permissions these services ask from you. If not careful, your information could land on the wrong hands.
Google’s Data Tracking
As we learned through the previous articles, Google possesses a system that is utilized to track various amount of data and information from. However, you can chose to delete or view all the data Google has collected from by accessing the MyActivity feature. Below I will provide a few examples of the type of information Google holds unto:
Search Engines information

Disconnect: Blocking Privacy Breaches
Disconnect is a browser extension that allows the user to know what internet sources are trying to access your information and content in each individual website you visit. Moreover, the extension allows you to block these sources so they no longer obtain information from you. To test this out, I decided to utilize the Disconnect extension on two of my most frequently visited websites: Twitter and Gmail. Upon enabling the extension I learned the following:
Twitter:
Once I decided to turn on the feature while browsing Twitter, it did no notify me of any potential site that could be tracking my information
Gmail:
On the other hand, upon opening Gmail I noticed a wide array of sites that tried to track my information such as: gstatic.com, ampproject.org. However, I noticed that the majority of the listed websites where in some form affiliated to Google and its various platforms and applications. For instance, Google Hangouts, Google Play Store and various Google Ad Clients.

Description: This book by David Levithan narrates the story of A, a being or person who swaps to a different body every 24 hours, and their struggle to live a normal love story with a girl named, Rhiannon. I consider this to be an interesting read because it takes a different approach to the average romance novel, which David Levithan executes tremendously.
Description: The story of 13 Reasons why revolves around a highschooler, named Clay Jensen, who receives a box containing several tapes which tell the story of Hannah Baker before taking her own life.

Description: This movie’s plot is very straight-forward: passengers on a train headed to the city of Busan must survive a zombie outbreak. However, the reason this movie is one of my recommended picks is due to how Sang-ho Yeon portrays the different relationships and characterization throughout the movie, which creates a sense of deep realism, immersion and emotion.
Below I provided a link which will lead you to my “About” page so you can learn brief information as to who I am. Additionally, I have updated my homepage and profile to be up-to-date.
Certainly, there is no denying that the Internet has become an integral tool for many people worldwide. The various technological resources and advantages the internet offers has significantly impacted the form in which people communicate and operate entirely. Additionally, the internet has become a replacement or a more efficient alternative to many forms of activities, tasks and entertainment such as: online shopping, programming and social media. Moreover, the convenience and accessibility of the internet has become a reliability for most during the 21st century.
One of the main reasons the internet has become essential for a day-to-day lifestyle is due to its ability to allow people to communicate without any form of distance barriers. For instance, two friends from different countries can communicate through various messaging platforms without the need to come face-to-face. Additionally, the internet allows its users to collect and share any form of information instantly to other users or publicly. Currently social media has become the quintessential form of sharing information. These platforms allow its users to communicate, obtain and share any form of information such as: news articles, reports, important events, official releases and casual communication. Another way the internet has become practical, it’s through the various forms of online management and utilities it provides. In recent years, platforms including Uber have allowed a wide array of users to quickly request an economic cab ride to any given location in a short span of time; in contrast, taxis — which were the default form of cab service — were commonly known to be difficult to access and relatively expensive. On another note, online services like Amazon and eBay allow their users to purchase and sell almost any form of product varying from clothing, medicine, food, electronics and domestic items. Nevertheless, even considering the numerous amounts of advantages the internet has to offer, many perceive it as a severely detrimental tool.
There is no denying that the internet has become an extremely efficient — almost considered crucial — utility. However, a common fear is that the internet and the various elements that it offers may overshadow or severely hinder people’s social and mental abilities. The usual argument proposes that society is growing dependent to social media which, consequently, impairs their interpersonal skills. Another typical belief presents that the internet will advance to such degree that it will render any possible human effort or skill useless or impractical. This has become a frequent belief especially considering recent technological advances regarding Artificial Intelligence, which allows technology and the internet to have a mind of its own similar to that of humans. Despite many people falling victim to these generic worries, these are common misconceptions that can be easily dealt with prior education, discipline and moderation. For example, social media will only affect a person’s social abilities if they constantly browse them. However, if said person utilizes social media on a moderate basis while still maintaining their interpersonal skills in practice, then their social proficiency will not be affected. Although these may seem to be ordinary and logical concerns, people seem to not comprehend the essence and purpose of the internet — to aid and facilitate human tasks and interaction.
The internet should be only utilized for the sole purpose of its creation, which is to further enhance and ease human life. We should not be able to fully depend on the internet for everything that it can improve upon. No matter from which perspective you look at it, the internet will never be able to fully recreate or replace any form of human activity. Online networks are prone to malfunction at any given time due to various factors embed in its structure. With this is mind, certain situations will surge in which the internet will be rendered useless meaning that if we grow dependent on it there will no other alternative to utilize if the need ever arises. Personally, I browse the internet mainly to utilize social media platforms such as YouTube, Instagram and Twitter as a form of entertainment and diversion during my free time. Additionally, I navigate the web in order to utilize a various amount of applications that permit me to realize certain tasks that previously I could not accomplish or simply because the internet offers a more viable and advantageous alternative. For instance, through Amazon I’m able to purchase a vast array of items that I normally could not purchase in a retail store. Moreover, applications like Uber offers me a reliable, manageable and hasty form of transportation which other services could never achieve. However, the most application I tend to rely upon on are the various messaging platforms in order to quickly communicate with any family member or friend. Ultimately, the internet will always be present to serve as a supplement to human life; the different forms it can affect human life will be entirely dependent on the purpose and usage we individually desire to assign to it.
Bellow I provided some of the links that further showcase the various platforms I discussed, alongside some of the content I enjoy browsing on my social media:
