Tap to write History

Abstract

For the last 5.000 years, humans have been keeping written records of small and big events but for most of this time span creating and storing them has been expensive, difficult or even dangerous. In 2013 even the smallest details in the life of an average teenager will be recorded with higher fidelity and thoroughness that the one used for detailing Gengis Khan's conquests, and everything thanks to the mobile, the basic enabler of these hyper-detailed life logs.

Which are the implications of the quantified self from a historical perspective? Is all this data more resilient than a medieval parchment?

I'd love to talk with you about it.

¿En qué colegio estudió en Barakaldo?

Padres Paúles. Estudie allí durante toda la educación básica y el bachillerato, unos 11 años, y creo que, en general, la experiencia fue muy positiva. Borraría con gusto los recuerdos de algunos profesores -especialmente los seculares- pero tambien conservo amigos y buenas memorias de mi estancia allí.

Siempre me divierte oír las teorías y prejuicios que la gente tiene sobre lo que significa ir a un "colegio de curas" por más de una década. Como persona que se declara en el limite entre el agnosticismo y el ateísmo, me hace mucha gracia las alegaciones sobre los lavados de cerebro.

¿Le gustaban los deportes o era de los alumnos empollones?

En gran medida me decanté por los deportes pero a diferencia de la tendencia generalizada que apunta siempre al fútbol, o en el menos odioso de los casos al baloncesto yo practiqué balonmano durante la mayor parte de mi estancia en Paúles.
