It's amazing how the technology nowadays has made significant  strides, we can do things that in the past no one even imagine. 
An example of the strides of technology, is the story of Wladimir Silva, a guy of 22 years who was born with Poland syndrome, a congenital and unusual illness that affect the muscular development, and that affect him with the muscular absence in the right upper region of his body and in the congenital amputation of some fingers. 
Now, thanks to strides technology, he has an artificial hand make with a 3D printer that was donated to the Teletón, an institution that helps in the rehabilitation of child with physical and mental disability.
This artificial hand was made by Jorge Zúñiga, a physiologist, with just a few and cheap materials. 
This technology advance is interesting because it will help a lot of persons that have a physical disability, and this is just a little advance but with a big impact to the society. In the not too distant future it will be possible to make other parts of the body maybe. 
In my opinion the technology advance is so important nowadays, because help us to do a lot of things that we can't or do it more easy. 
I hope that soon this technology can be accessible to anyone.

It's so difficult for me imagine me in the future, mostly if I have to imagine me in a job. But the only thing that I'm sure is that I will never work in an office, I think that is so boring being in a desk in front of a computer all day.
I imagine myself doing things with my hands or creating things, and in my own space, without a boss.
I love travel and I always go out of the country with my parents in holidays, so for that reason I would like to have a job where I can travel a lot.
Now I'm studying odontology, it wasn't my first option of career, I thought study literature or psychology, but my parents didn't agree about literature and about psychology they thought, but they convince me to study odontology, because they are dentist. It's doesn't bother me study odontology, because I can make things with my hands and create things, for example the prothesis.
I wouldn't care if I had to to work outdoor or indoor, because if I can create things it will doesn't matter.
Now day I don't see me working, because I'm not sure what to do, but I know that someday I will do something that I love and I will enojoy it. But now I have time to think.
