This piece of news will change the world

We all have one thought in mind, a thought which never leaves our head, always the same concern: global warming. At school, on television, on the newspapers…, they have told us this is a very important problem, but not as much as it really is. This is such an important problem that it will finish with our world in a few years if we don't do something.

This is no problem to Trump, who doesn’t believe in this danger and won't help for research. Hopefully, the best scientists  in the USA continue investigating despite of him. There is one scientist who may have found the solution for our most important problem in this aspect, which is the pollution of the seas. 


Sarah Molina (who has Spanish backgrounds) is said to win the Nobel prize this year because of finding the solution to a problem we are all thinking about. The parents of Molina came to the USA in search for a better life, her father achieve the American dream and, thanks to this, Sarah has always had the best education and she could continue investigating about the global warming with her own money and no with public grants, because Trump wouldn't help on something like this.

The final solution is the result of a combination between molybdenum, hassium, platinum and ununoctium. Mixing all this in a huge quantity and the accurate measurement will make that all kinds of plastic get dissolved; this has already been proved successful. There are other mixtures to eliminate other kinds of elements which are also polluting the seas. Although these ones haven’t been proved yet, we are quite sure that Sarah is right.


As most people who read this blog are from Spain, I am glad to say that the first places which Sarah wants to help are in the most polluted coasts of America, but also in Spain! As she is from here she doesn’t forget her origins.

To sum up I think this is one of the best news I’ve read in a very long time, because we are clearly living in a world where it is better to have lots of likes to a post than having a clean planet, despite the certainty that it’s going to disappear before we think if we don't act now. I hope this will open your eyes to stop polluting the only planet we have, although, at least, it seems that now we may have a solution.

Education and the Internet

The Internet is a huge source of information. Everything you want to know about, you can find it in the Internet. Not so many years ago, if you wanted to expand your knowledge, you had to go to a library, search for a book and, if you were lucky, you would find one of your interest.

Nowadays, if you want to know something, you just have to type it in the browser and immediately you will obtain results about your search.

The Internet is a very powerful tool but it can be dangerous: not everything that you can find in the Internet is true and, by downloading files and programs from an unknown source, your computer can become infected by viruses and other types of malware.


The Internet can be dangerous, yes, but if you use it carefully and in a sensible way, it can be very helpful to you.

The internet can not only be used for searching information, but for learning and practising your knowledge too. There are plenty of courses in the Internet about several disciplines like languages, maths, geography, biology… and some of them are free. You can also use the Internet to communicate faster with your teacher and classmates to solve your doubts. There are some platforms in the Internet specifically designed for didactic use that can be a good support for your school classes.

The Internet, along with books, is the great adversary of misinformation for many people. Nowadays, if you don’t know something, it is because you haven’t searched for it.


All in all, it’s important to think about the Internet as a very productive additional way of learning, not as a substitute for schools. I’m not talking about being a self-taught person. I think the Internet and the school are very powerful by their own, but they are even more powerful when you combine them both together.
