Black Mirror

Black Mirror is a British production developed by Charlie Brooker, which is a science fiction anthology dominated by estrangement and the imminence of the future, where the most advanced technology collides with the darkest instincts of human beings is a series of independent episodes with each other and, with a different cast and plots, whose only common point is the power of new technologies to move the world, it has 22 episodes.

I like it because it shows an interesting dystopia of the world with technologies, but much more gloomy and with fiction than we can see in reality, although, if we think about it, sometimes social networks can be horrible and lead to committing atrocious acts that are evident in the real world. It is undoubtedly visionary and sadly accurate as we already see today. The transformation of the world thanks to or despite new technologies. Perfect for reflecting, questioning, and discussing the sad reality of the world that awaits us. This series forces you to reflect that the exaggerated use of these tools can lead to unfortunate consequences for society, in politics, in family ties, friends, and among others.

Brenda Milner

 The field of psychology is a world that I find interesting, so I would like to talk about a woman who was very important to this field. Her name is Brenda Milner, born in 1910 in the United Kingdom, she is considered to be the founder of neuropsychology, where she discovered that memory is a discrete function, independent of others, such as language and attention, and that it is not linked with the global activity of the crust, as it was discussed then (at the time of her), but with specific regions. It also shed light on the independence of memory processes and allowed to test some assumptions that were in debate, for example, the dichotomy of explicit and implicit memory or episodic memory, semantic memory. Wherein in his time to discover all of this, I observe a longtime patient named Henry Gustav Molaison. I find her interesting and I like her because she talks about memory, which is very important to us, it makes us who we are, and she is also a pioneer in a very interesting field.

A photo and its story

The girl and the vulture was a photo taken by Kevin Carter, where an Afghan girl and a vulture are shown in the background, and you can see the harshness of hunger in southern Sudan, where she is cowering, the photograph was taken in 1993. Kevin came across a malnourished girl outside the food aid camps that had fallen there. In the distance, a vulture was prowling. Carter chose a setting in which the bird and the girl told a terrible story of famine and predation in Africa. After the taking of this photograph and its publication, the author of the photo decided to end his life, because the photographer received a Pulitzer Prize for this photo, but they accused him of not having reacted to this situation. We later learned that the girl had been found safe and sound. This photo seems interesting to me, for all the history behind it and for the number of feelings that are transmitted through an image.
