"Every second of life is a new and unique moment in the universe, a moment that will never be repeated.

Not that I have forgotten the blog, what happens is that I had some outstanding things to do. I finished college and now I will be Bachelor of Education and Humanities in the specialty of mathematics and physics, sounds good.

Well, in the first article of the year I will put something very interesting I found Twitter, write 2010 with only the numbers 1 to 9 using the basic operations:

  2010 = 1 +2- (3-4-5) * 6 * 7 * 8-9
 2010 = 1 - (2 + (3-4-5) * 6 * 7) * 8 +9
 2010 = 1 +2 + (3 +4 * (5 +6 * 7 +8)) * 9
 2010 = 1 +2 * (3 * 4 * (5 +6) -7) * 8 +9
 2010 = 1 * 2 * 3 * (4 * (5 * 6 +7 * 8) -9)
 2010 = 1 +2 + (3 +4 * (5-6 +7 * 8)) * 9
 2010 = (1-2-3 +4 * (5 / 6 +7 * 8)) * 9
 2010 = (1 +2 +3 * 4) * (5-6 + (7 +8) * 9)
 2010 = 1 +2 + ((3 * (4 +5) +6) * 7-8) * 9
 2010 = (1 +2 +3) * (4 * (5 * 6 +7 * 8) -9)
 2010 = 1 +2 +3 * (4 * (5 +6) * (7 +8) +9)
 2010 = (1 * 2 / 3) * ((4 +5) * 6 * 7 * 8-9)
 2010 = (1-2-3) * ((4 +5) / 6-7 * 8 * 9)
 2010 = (1 * 2 + (3-4 * (5/6-7)) * 8) * 9
 2010 = 1 * (2 + (3-4 * (5/6-7)) * 8) * 9
 2010 = (1 +2 * (3 +4)) * (5-6 + (7 +8) * 9)

Throughout history, societies have been concerned with recording historical facts, financial records or tell their property. Thus we see that in ancient societies developed from simple systems such as quipu record, you might say that is the first way to systematize a set of data, ie a database.

Do not ever doubt the ability of just one group of thoughtful committed citizens to change the world. In fact, always has been.

After reading the article that Mark Prensky wrote some years ago about Digital Natives and Digital Immigrants (Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants) I started to think about it.

The digital natives are those who were born where there was new technology and have grown using television, computers, cell phones, the internet, etc and digital immigrants, people who were not born with those privileges and learned to use these technologies over time.

There are substantial differences between groups either neurological and interaction with their environment, as Mark Prensky describes it, but do not think this should be a generational difference, if we see reality and differences between our countries could add a further categorization, immigrants digital natives.

In Peru there are still places where there is no electricity, phone service and even worse, no computers or internet. The youth of these places can not have spent 5000 hours reading books because they have not read even worse, could not have spent 10 000 hours playing video games because they do not know, could not even pass 20 000 hours watching television because they have no TV and the only way to have fun would be the care of livestock they have, if they do.

There are still people worldwide who lack access to new technologies and of one form or another have to adapt to rapid changes taking place in our society and diminish the digital divide that, despite the efforts of some institutions or programs like OLPC, is resistant to change.

Where we consider these digital natives who have no access to these new technologies, they also have to come to learn to use technology to their advantage, we could not call them digital natives and digital immigrants or because they do not have the characteristics of any of them, digital natives but immigrants would be the best description of them.

Some time ago I read this story, very interesting indeed, but seeing I can tell Mirinda Cristina say she gives life to the story.

Here I give you this love story of a mathematician.

Thanks to Martha Echeverri can read the story and certainly being CienciaNet.

Les Luthiers is an Argentine band of actors, musicians and comedians who have a very peculiar style of making music, if you have the opportunity to hear you recommend them. Among many of its peculiarities made a song to the theorem of Thales.

Please remember the theorem, listen to the song.
