This is a man's world,but it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman

All my life I've been compared to my brother and since I remember this has been a problem in my anxiety. Anyway, this way of living made that I developed an interest in the STEM areas.  In this case, I felt that's many fragments in the reading became part of my everyday thoughts.

In this case, what we can remember about history is that it is been told by the winners or the people in power,  and normally in a patriarchal way of living sometimes women get erased in this story. That was the case of many women in many different areas, companies, and countries. Anyway, they have been moments in history that women had to take some jobs even though they were not prepared for them (or society).  That' was the case of many well-known programmers and generations of women who had to work in these areas. I consider that  this  is also seen in a country that had participated actively in  the development  of new technology and  in some specific moment in history. 

 I think that the reading has a big problem due to the fact that it is located in powerful contries that  have an easy way on developing  the need of females in the industry and in some specific universities. This is because I consider that Mexico has the problem that people cannot access technology as easy as people in the States or in  UK and so women in this country have to fight the stereotype of being a woman in a man's area due to the fact that woman belong in the Kitchen or cannot do math. This is seen in the quantity of women in the STEM areas in Mexico, but they are well seen in areas such as chemistry and medicine where there are some strong  examples of women who succeed in this areas and are well developed in Mexico. Also this is being made due to the fact that we believe that people who work with computers are lonely and do not have friends, but teorically this area has three mayor areas where you can develop: developing, sales and project management but people do not understand this.

I consider that I had an advantage during my childhood due to the fact that I have a brother who likes technology and videogames, so that interest in my life has been something consistent and has helped me to persue a career I like and something I have abilities. And also I am thankful to my mother because she has always been pushing me to the next level  and not to feel less in comparison to my classmates.

Prepare for trouble! And make it double! To protect the world from devastation!

When we think about a programmer we think about someone who is alone in a room, who don't know how to talk to others and even someone who doesn't talk to their family. But people who think about programmers just like that do not know my friends, who are the most awesome programmers in the world and that can help you and teach you when you can not continue. I think that is the purpose of pair programming, to help each other and to think outside the box and to finally understand and teach that people need to work together and that people who surround them matters.  In this case, I consider that some of the people in my generation know how to solve this way of thinking and working but not everyone and this should become an important way of developing. This idea is due to the fact that we think that people who we normally choose for our teams is not on the level as the way the other classmates who surround us. This way of programming also gives the programmer a new way of thi...

Power! Unlimited power!

Throughout history,  humans have seen how life has changed,  how their expectations of technology have evolved and how wrong we were about it since the beginning. In this case, I am referring to the fact that we have a big imagination about what we are capable of, but sometimes, this idea might go too far or ever to close,  there is no middle.  In the specific case of technology,  we have something certain,  some authors like Asimov were right about the limits we should include  in this area, called "The three laws of Robotics": A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.   where we define a limit in the way we use technology.  In the case of comp...

chay' let spanish jatlh

I have always been into languages, and that's maybe I'm studying this career. As I've been learning to program, I've noticed that there are many elements similar between each other, but also, specific differences that make an advantage. The text reminded me of a song called "Qué dificil es hablar el español", where two guys show the differences and similarities between some Spanish speakers countries.  I think that this is almost the same problem that programming languages live, where people who use them try to set them as the most popular or important against others. Personally speaking I think that all languages have their beauty and their characteristics, such as  Spanish, where some words make a phrase sound spectacular. Also, it is important to mention that each language might be easier to teach rather than others, so the programming community might grow up because of this. I know that programming languages have really grown up, but some of them are...
