El primer smartphone a partir de los 16. Antes de esa edad, móvil de los que sólo hacen llamadas y sólo para cuando se sale de casa.

Si esto se convierte en un consenso entre padres y madres, gran parte del problema de adolescencia y redes sociales queda resuelto sin necesidad de leyes específicas.

Panzer Dragoon Orta (2002) by Sega for Xbox. Japanese promotional illustration art by Takashi Iwade and Kentaro Yoshida.
Panzer Dragoon Orta (2002): Japanese promotional poster for the Xbox game shows a young girl with short white hair in a dark armored outfit riding atop a massive green dragon with jagged scales, wings spread wide, and glowing eyes. The dragon soars dynamically through a bright blue sky filled with clouds, explosions, and smaller flying dragons in the distance. A large red-winged dragon dominates the upper right, while futuristic airships trail smoke and fire in the background. The title "PANZER DRAGOON ORTA" appears in large stylized purple and gold lettering at the bottom, with Japanese katakana "パンツァードラグーン オルタ" above and developer/publisher logos (SEGA, Smilebit, Xbox) in the corners.

Telegram está enviando mensajes políticos contra el gobierno de Pedro Sánchez a sus usuarios de España en nombre de Pavel Durov, su fundador. Cuando a estas empresas les escuece tanto que se proteja al usuario frente a sus abusos de poder es porque algo se estará haciendo bien.

Vuelvo a la tribuna del Diari de Tarragona.

No, las herramientas nunca son neutras. A veces, no hay usos buenos.

No, la IAG no es eficacísima (y es más peligrosa por inútil que por avanzada).

No, la tecnología no es imparable.
