This Chinese byd car looks at the face of many Europeans of 100,000 euros

by

Lombardy is all that one can expect from northern Italy. It is the most populous region in the country. The richest. A place where luxury, design and industry are mixed. Based in a single region the idyllic sunset in the lake as, where Swiss atmosphere is already breathed, the elegance of Armani, the great of Il duomo of Milan and the maximum representation of the latest technology with the monoplays of Formula 1 traveling at full speed the Monza circuit. It was not in Monza but in a circuit where Denza made us a first demonstration of what they have prepared for Europe. One of Byd’s luxury companies let us sit in his denza Z9GT, a kind of Shooting Brake Sports, exquisite dyes and a technological load that surprises. Unfortunately, we only stay in the Vairano circuit enclosure, between Milan and Pavia. At the moment, cars are not approved to circulate on European roads but will do it very soon. Despite this, it was a most interesting day. What is coming As We already told you a few days agoByd will bring to Europe one of its luxury brands. We could say that it is its premium brand, one step above byd (the generalist) and Yangwang (the most extreme luxury). But the truth is that, seen what was seen, he will denied more to what a Porsche can offer than an Audi, if we speak in terms of the Volkswagen group. The really complicated to denza, which was born as Fruit of a collaboration with Mercedesis to demonstrate that it can sit at the table of a Porsche which is a reference in the European car. His experience, his history and his product have elevated him to a very special position, conquering the wealthiest fans who could well buy a Ferrari but also to more modest pockets (within what fits) that aspire to take some Porsche to the mouth with the most modest versions of a Macan or a Cayenne. Everything indicates that he denies does not aspire, or from afar, to make a large volume of sales. It seems clear that it is about demonstrating to the skeptics where China is (and more specifically byd) in the car market. Technologies that surprise We are accustomed to luxury European manufacturers, those who choose to offer great performance, focus on the mechanical capacities of their propellers. The most powerful BMW and Mercedes, the Porsche of reference, all direct their speech to the latest innovations they have achieved with their combustion propuls. It seems to make sense seeing that electric cars seem to have been far from that luxury market in Europe Or, at least, they don’t have such a great attraction power. In China, however, it bets more on the most striking games. To show this article of Bloomberg in which the opinion of a wealthy driver who had been very disappointed because his Porsche Taycan “was only an electric Porsche” was collected. Hence it will jump to the local market. The public in China asks for other types of solutions. For example, the byd parking system. A chuchería that, honestly, I think it is useless for day to day but demonstrates how technically advanced the company. And this Z9GT denies is able to turn on its front axle rotating the butt (at the cost of burn tire) and park in line with, it is supposed to be greater. This same system called Enge Parking He uses it to move completely diagonally, a especially rare sensation when you go inside the car. The interesting thing is the real practical application that technology has here. The car has a tiper rear axle. That is, the rear wheels can be turned in the same direction as the front (to round the curve) or in the opposite direction, to reduce the radius of rotation and maneuver more easily. But, in addition, they do not have to turn to the right or left parallel. They may roll them use a convergent or divergent position. That is, they open or close on themselves and, therefore, the possibilities when parking multiply, allowing this option to rotate the car on the front axle or move diagonally. Without a doubt, the most interesting thing is to check how a car of almost 5.20 meters moves in very narrow spaces. In places where a compact of four and a half meters would need several maneuvers to get out of the quagmire. If it came out of it. This technology is combined with a body control exquisite. In our passes through the circuit we submit to the Chinese Berlina to different lands, with broken asphalt or with undulations. Especially in this last land, the car contained the body perfectly. Passing at good speed, we do not feel at any time that the situation would rise and that inertia and weights became the protagonists. That body control reached the extreme during one of the star tests of the day. A driver aboard a Z9GT denza was at the end of the track, accelerated with all his might and when he had overcome the 180 km/h, a deaf noise confirmed what had already advanced it with a small pink smoke: the tire had burst. What happened? Nothing. That is the most chilling. If a car bursts the tire at 180 km/h we can expect the body to move and the driver will lose control of the car shortly that the steering wheel touches to compensate for the puncture. None of this happened because the tire suspension system immediately compensates for the loss of support that the wheel exerts. With great detail As we say, we can say little about the car running. In fact, we don’t even have the technical specifications of the cars that will arrive because, in the absence of homologation, we get on cars with Chinese specifications. The z9gt denza is sold in electrical format but we We tried it in its plug -in hybrid version. It is a … Read more

If you do not build its Arizona chips factories, you will face tariffs up to 100%

Donald Trump Does not take care of your effort with TSMC. During the electoral campaign the current US president said on several occasions that he was determined to make the decisions that were appropriate so that the country that now governs Recover the leadership of the semiconductor industry. Untilly entered the 80s of the last century, it had some of the most robust companies in this sector, such as Intel, Texas Instruments, IBM or Motorola, but little by little it was giving control of a market that Now it is in Asia’s hands. TSMC currently has a global fee of approximately 60% and manufactures avant -garde chips for many US companies, such as Apple, Nvidia, AMD, Broadcom or Qualcomm, among others. This Taiwanese company has factories in the US, such as the Phoenix (Arizona) plant that is about to start the large -scale production of Integrated 5 nm circuits In the N4 lithographic node, but a good part of the semiconductors that he gives to their American clients leave their Taiwan plants. Donald Trump wants to end this strategy. This statement He did it on January 27, a few days after returning to the White House and starting his second presidency: “In the very close future we will impose tariffs on foreign production of computer chips, semiconductors and pharmaceutical products to return the manufacture of these essential goods to the US (…) went to Taiwan; now we want you to return. We do not want to give them billions of dollars Biden. Tariff up to 100% to TSMC are still on the table The stir that has triggered The tariff strategy of the US government throughout the planet during the last week is not precedents. But in terms of integrated circuits in general, already TSMC in particular, Donald Trump has not modified his least. The statement you have made Just a few hours ago during an event of the National Republican Committee of Congress, it places TSMC again in the Center for Care despite the planning to build several more plants in Arizona in the medium term. “If they do not build their plant here they will pay a great tax. Maybe 25%. Or 50%. Or 75%. Or even 100%” “I did not give TSMC money. It is a great company. The most powerful in the world. The largest chips company on the planet (…) is spending 200,000 million dollars in Arizona by building one of the largest plants in the world. All that without money (USA). All I did was: ‘If they do not build their plant here they will pay a large tax. Maybe 25%. Or 50%. Or 75%. Or even 100%“, Donald Trump has argued. It is evident that the goal of having forced TSMC is being pointed out to settle in Phoenix with the purpose of producing avant -garde chips in the US in the US in the US already manufactured to those already manufactured in Taiwan. Trump does not strive in the least to take care of forms. His statements, that of January and yesterday, threatenly threaten TSMC. As I mentioned a few lines above, the first plant of this company in Phoenix is ​​about to manufacture large -scale chips, but its plan does not end here. The second factory will be operational in 2028 and will produce integrated circuits in N3 (3 Nm) and N2 (2 Nm) nodes. And finally, the third factory will not be listed at all until the end of this decade and will produce chips in the N2 (2 nm) node. In addition, the TSMC production infrastructure in Arizona will have two advanced chip encapsulated facilities and an R&D center. At the current situation it is unlikely that this company renounces this project.

The contestants of ‘The island of temptations’ have made a new face after the program. It is a symptom of something else

by

This year, the island of temptations has become a viral phenomenon, and much of the prominence has fallen to a particular person: José Carlos Montoya. However, this edition has not only managed to be the most seen of all editions, According to Mediaset herselfbut it is also the edition where the aesthetic touch -ups of the contestants have attracted attention to the networks. Many touch -ups. In this edition, the program has had a total of seven couples. Although five initially entered, during the recording two more were added after the departure of others. As a result, we have seen 14 participants, many of whom, when leaving the realityhave decided to undergo various aesthetic treatments, Most in the same aesthetic centerranging from the use of botox and hyaluronic acid to rhinoplasties and lipotransferences. The most radical changes. Of all the casting, three have been the most commented due to the magnitude of their aesthetic changes: Álvaro Rubio, Tadeo Corrales and Guillermo Zamora, the latter a tempting. First, Álvaro has decided to perform a lipotransference, As the clinic shows in networkswhich consists of eliminating the fat from the abdomen and the flanks to transfer it to the buttocks. In addition, a Botox jaw and injected profile has been performed. It is followed by the case of Tadeo, who has undergone a total facial change. Unlike his classmates, he went to another professional, Who shared the process in networksmentioning the use of hyaluronic acid and neuromodulators. Finally, Guille, whoever was tempting hyaluronic acid has been applied, According to 20 minutes. Both Tadeo and Guille have been very questioned and viralized on social networks for the obvious change in their face. Revert the touch -ups. The case of Bayán al Masri and Stephany Pérez, who have decided to go together to remove the filling of their lips to replace it with a more modern technique, as they explained in their mtmad channel. For her part, the participant Alba García, the youngest in reality (21 years), I wanted to get Botox, but the doctor He has decided that would not be convenient due to muscle tension. A trend beyond reality. After Scrolle In social networks everything mentioned, this boom of aesthetic touch -ups is only a reflection of a greater trend: the exponential growth of aesthetic procedures among the youngest. In fact, according to an independent perception study promoted by the Spanish Society of Aesthetic Medicine a 47% of the population It has undergone an aesthetic intervention. However, this affects both men and women and a study conducted by the same entity showed only women exceeded men by 2.2%. However, where is all this pressure from beauty standards? The aesthetic pressure. In Tiktok or Instagram there is a high number of Reels dedicated to aesthetic treatments. This social pressure and the obsession with self -image are fed by viral tendentials, such as extreme morning routines, Fixation by a perfect denture either the use of Gadgets To look better. It should be noted that it is spreading among men A beauty standard that women have been dragging for many years. On the other hand, these applications have ultra -up filters that have caused an increase in the demand for aesthetic surgeries. According to several studies, Constant access to retouched images generates a digital dysmorphia that drives young people to look for aesthetic medicine in replicating these unattainable standards. The debate is still open. From Telecinco himself They have asked To all contestants about the fact of becoming aesthetic touch -ups, the answer has been homogeneous: “Everyone does what they want with their body.” Here the question that would have to be done is that we are facing a generation that seeks to feel better with itself or in the face of a social pressure disguised as self -care.

For very different reasons, it has been on the table every time there has been talk of ‘Electric status‘, The Russo feature film for Netflix, its exorbitant budget of 320 million dollars, while comparing it to the two previous blockbusters of the platform,’ Red Alert ‘and’ The invisible agent But the second platform in importance and number of subscribers also has a lot to say in terms of large budgets: ‘The Tomorrow War‘ cost to prime video 200 million dollars. The truth is that it is not exactly the budget of the film, but what Amazon paid for it: ‘The war of tomorrow’ It was owned by Paramount, who conceived it to be released in cinemas. However, he did not see it clear with the arrival of the COVID, the closure of the rooms and the continued delay of multitude of premieres. Prime Video took the opportunity paying those 200 million for the exclusive distribution rights, and renamed him: he became the most watched film in the history of the platform, and even today is the most expensive of all those he has released. ‘The war of tomorrow’ is, properly speaking, a time travel film, although without paradoxes or complications. At present a group of travelers arrives in time since 2051 to deliver an urgent message: humanity is losing a world war against alien invaders. From the future, they require that soldiers and citizens of the present travel to help in the war. Thus begins a story that has more to do with ‘Space troops’ (without satire) than with ‘Back to the future’: Chris Pratt, Yvonne Stahovski and JK Simmons lead an attractive cast that gives luster to a few Set-Pieces of action shot with forcefulness And good taste.

Thousands of women are sleeping with a lot of masks and adhesive ribbons in the face: the boom of the "Morning Sheds"

by

The earth revolves around the sun and people around Tiktok, and where there is a trend there will be thousands of people repeating it. For a couple of months he has become fashionable all night with a lot of masks, patches and silk caps, among many more things. This trend has a name: Morning Sheds. A simple premise. There is an presupposition that when you leave a mask for longer, more effect does. However, this is not true. Each product has a certain duration that is usually detailed in the container itself, as well as expiration. In fact, dermatologists Beauty routines supportbut alert about risks to cover excess skin and use products without control. Thus a new viral phenomenon is born. According to Vogue magazine, already There are more of 75 million publications about Morning Sheds, And keep increasing. The objective of these people – mostly women – is to add to their facial ritual of the most cosmetics and gadgets nights. In Xataka Mercadona rejuvenation patches hide something else: the culmination of a long biotechnological career How much more better … There are many videos to analyze one by one, but among which We have been able to observe The same steps are always repeated. First of all, The night masks and patches for eye contour. After, he FACE TAPING, Adhesive ribbons that act as neuromodulators to “tighten” the skin. Third, the Mouth Taping, A tape that sticks in the mouth to encourage nasal breathing. It follows the curls without heat, thanks to the bandans, curlers or silk caps. Finally, as a species of gap and wraps with Cleaning oil for abdomen. The logic, if there is, behind this whole trend is that, how much more in contact is with the skin, the more effect it will do. However, reality is another. The possible risks. The theme of all this is the exhibition of these products on the face, we are talking about a very long use, a whole night. Hydration is necessary, but not an abuse as is happening in these cases. In fact, Dramatologist Dr. Purvisha Patel has explained for Vogue that covering too much the skin can cause outbreaks or make active ingredients lose effectiveness. As for the subject of FACE TAPING Using adhesive tapes on the face can be a great inconvenience, such as detail for GQ The doctor Candy Hernández. The dermatologist has described that this is a risk to the skin because it prevents it from transpiring, putting the epidermis in prolonged contact with adhesives and other substances whose composition could be harmful. For its part, the use of Mouth Taping It is a trend that claims to improve nasal breathing and sleep quality. However, Dr. Rybel Wix has sustained for chain to be that there is no scientific evidence that supports it. On the contrary, it can hinder breathing and fragment sleep, affecting rest. Without effects. Videos on Tiktok show people using bands to redefine facial contour and girdles with castor oil to reduce measures. However, Dermatologist Dendy Engelman has clarified for Womenshealthmag that there is no evidence that these methods generate permanent changes in the facial or body structure. In the case of hair, it is important not to tighten too much to avoid traction fall. {“Videid”: “X81YBHL”, “Autoplay”: False, “Title”: “Beware of beauty mode of some Chinese terminals”, “Tag”: “”, “Duration”: “191”} Are we facing a passenger fashion? Beyond its effectiveness, this trend is a reflection of the extreme commodification of self -care. He Morning Sheds It is a sample of how far the obsession for aesthetic perfection can go. While some habits can provide benefits, excess products and gadgets does not guarantee better results and, in some cases, it can be harmful. Before joining any viral trend, it is important to go to professionals who can help you find the best routine. But if I can give a small advice, even if we are in winter, you never forget the sunscreen.

Someone used AI to overcome an interview on Amazon. His success has made Google see his candidates face to face

by

There is a thin line Between genius and deception. With the arrival of artificial intelligence, this line is fade even more and the scope of work interviews are a good example of this. A student exceeded a technical interview of Amazon helped with AI and his success has had consequences: someone gave him away to his university, he has created a company so that others use AI in their work interviews and Google will stop doing their work interviews remotely in the face of increased the use of AI by the candidates. The debate on whether the use of AI has been opened in a job interview It is cheating Or it is to use the tools at your fingertips to find a solution to the problem. Entrepreneur or cheater? According to published CNBCChungin “Roy” Lee is a 21 -year -old computer student at Columbia University who got some work interviews in large technological ones such as Amazon, Meta or Tiktok. During the remote technical interview with Amazon, the student used an AI tool that he had created with which he could easily answer the programming questions and tests asked for the Amazon recruiter. “Today, everyone program with the help of AI,” said the young student to CNBC. Technical tests are an essential requirement to access engineering positions in these large companies so the young man had no choice but to prepare conscientiously as can be checked on his profile of the website of the website Leetcode training. Such and As you collect Gizmodothat training was one of the hardest tasks that Lee faced. “It was one of the most unhappy experiences I’ve had programming. I felt that I had to do it. It was something I needed for a job in a large technological company, and there was so much to learn, so much to memorize, and so many random problems that I could wait for me to ask me. He made me hate the programming.” According to the student, the problems that arise in the interviews are very unlikely and more a “theater” approaches in which the interviewee pretends that he has never seen that problem, when in reality he has already studied and memorized his solution. “They are not representative of what you do as a programmer at work,” said the young man. To lighten this “technical procedure” the student used a tool he had developed to successfully overcome his interview with Amazon. The test result was a success and ended up receiving a job offer in the company, although the young man rejected it since the interview was only a way to test his tool. A video with the recorded test that hung on your YouTube account (now not available) and on the tool website are proof of this. Chivatazo and university file Days after his technical interview, Lee received a notification from the University of Columbia informing him of a disciplinary hearing that the teaching entity had opened to the second year student, as you can read in the letter that Roy Lee has published In his X profile. As published by Gizmodo, the University showed its rejection of the use of AI tools as “support” to these technical tests, which it considered as a trap. “Amazon has a long tradition of collaboration with Columbia Engineering … and we are deeply worried that situations like this occur. We trust Columbia will take the appropriate measures regarding this student and we hope to continue with this long collaboration,” says the university in its writing. The young man, far from being concerned about the measures undertaken by the entity, offers the tool so that other students and candidates can use it in their interviews. Face to face in technology Due to the increasingly frequent use of these AI tools during interviews, great technological ones are thinking about again doing these technical interviews in person. Such and As I pointed out Cnbc en One of the latest meetings of L sundar interviews in person. This request contrasts with the fact that, only a few months before, the own Google CEO admit That, thanks to AI, around 25% of the Google code was generated by artificial intelligence. The use of AI is increasingly present in selection processes. From the Use of candidate monitoring algorithms (ATS for the acronym in English of Applicant Tracking Systems), that They automatically select the curriculum of the most appropriate candidates, to methods of training for candidates Based on chatgpt or, like Roy Lee, the Use of AI during interviews remotely The use of AI tools in selection processes, especially by candidates, has opened A debate on social networks On whether this is a lack of ethics, or is as valid as any other tool with which you work daily. In this debate, there are those who see right to use these tools during the interview whenever it is done transparently, since it shows that the candidate has resources To find the solution to a problem. “I remember that once, more than a decade ago, I said in an interview: ‘I do not know that specific command, but there is Google for what we do not know.’ assures a user which raises an equivalence between the use of AI and the search engine. Others, on the other hand, ensure that the objective of these tests is precisely to check the programming skills. If it is altered using AI, loses its reason for being.

It is the best series of ‘Star Wars’, and in the face of its second season, Disney has uploaded its first episodes free of free

by

It is possibly the best that will give us’Star Wars‘In 2025 (and beyond, possibly), so it has all the meaning that Disney is taking care of this premiere to the extreme of promoting it with a few free episodes. Specifically the first three of the initial season of ‘Andor‘, that You can enjoy free on YouTube (Yes, in original version with subtitles only in English). This arrival has coincided with the premiere of the series in Hulu in the United States, something that does not affect us in Europe but demonstrates that Disney knows what is brought between hands. ‘Andor’ is a series acclaimed by criticism and public, and that has been celebrated to recover the little solemn style and with a mixture of genres (Here, a very curious mixture of prison leaks and robbery film) that has characterized the best moments of the franchise since the late seventies. A gift that helps us to refresh the memory with the history of this rebel to her, set about five years before what we saw in ‘Rogue One’, that is, we are in the early days of that rebel alliance that we would see in the first trilogy of Star Wars, with a series of events that will lead to the theft of the plans of the Death Star. Andor is a thief who will end up becoming a spy and, finally, into a key piece to trigger the rebel movement against the empire. Without a doubt, what makes ‘Andor’ one of the key series of ‘Star Wars’ is introduce ourselves to a series of characters with many gray nuances: Neither heroes nor villains, many believe in the rebel movement, others are ready for their own interests, and we will see how their behaviors and ideals evolve realistically. A characteristic that will undoubtedly remain in the expected second (and last) season of the series, which has already made history within the franchise.

The swamps are so full for the rains of March that some face something unprecedented: unwind for the first time

by

For a good part of the twentieth century, storms in the Borbonne Valley were terrible. In 1970, the river overflowed, flooded La Vega and blocked the daily life of the region for weeks. Throughout that decade, The creation of a reservoir began, the Alcorlowhich forced evacuate locations and placed its spillway a few 700 meters from the town of San Andrés del Congosto. Since the dam was closed in 1979, I had never had to take a water to avoid overflow. Until today. What happened in the center of Spain? Although most of the attention has been taken the south, Jana has watered (and much) The entire area of ​​the central system. So much so that, during the weekend, numerous municipalities of the Henares Corridor and La Alcarria have received notices from 112 due to the possibility that the Tajo Hydrographic Conference will land a whole series of swamps from the provinces surrounding the central system. Pálmatos, Beleña and La Tajera They have already been relieved Water over the weekend and three others were about to do so. Among them, Alcorlo’s because, as he said, throughout his history, he had never had to release water before. Nervousness in the Alcarria. The mayor of San Andrés has been expressing her concern all weekend. And, although he acknowledges that the town has never come to flood (“never in its history is aware of any event of this type“),” It looks like a small sea. We had never seen it that way and it impresses see it “, The Gil Consul said in the Digital of Castilla – La Mancha. I also recognized feeling “Chills and fear” for the impact that the flood can have in the municipality. It was not disenchanted because, in the last hours, about 50 people have moved to avoid risks. The domino effect. However, the main problem will not be given in the headwaters of the rivers where these reservoirs are: The problem is downstream. The Castilla Operational Control Center – La Mancha has warned that all that unpacked water will go on the Alberche River. The province of Guadalajara and, by exemption, the entire main branch of the Tagus is preparing for that water coup (that a channel as mistreated as this will thank). And it’s not something isolated. As Álvaro Oliver explained“On just 8 days of March, in the port of Navacerrada it has rained/snowy which usually falls in the 3 months of spring. In 8 days what usually falls in 90 days. 13 times more than usual in the first week of March.” It is raining a lot. It is raining more than some sites can manage comfortably. Mission: Take advantage of each drop of water. A key factor that makes all this special rain is that it comes from Atlantic storms. That is, it normally drains into the areas where we have the reservoirs and that allows us to take advantage of it much more than we can take advantage of the water from the danas. So now we return to the start box: What do we do with all this water? How do we prepare for a summer that, if it fits the trend, will return the ghost of the drought? And again, we return to one of the key problems of our country: that We still don’t order Water resources in a responsible way and with a view to the future. Image | LBM1948 | ASQUELADD

thousands of robots with a cat’s face

by

Japan is turning its services with thousands of cat -looking robots that transport dishes and glasses in more than 2,000 restaurants. It is not something that we have not seen in certain Spanish restaurants, but In Japan it is being much more accentuated in capillarity and capabilities of these robots. It is a country’s response to a perfect demographic storm: its population is aged and is getting more and more, and has a serious shortage of labor. Why is it important. These robots do not replace humans completely, but work together with them, allowing older or foreign people – immigration is key to covering work scarcity – can do work that would otherwise be too demanding at physical or linguistic level. Skylark Holdings, the largest restaurant chain with Japan table service, has deployed about 3,000 robots-gate Equipped with 3D sensors, dozens of facial expressions and ability to transport heavy dishes. In figures. The service robot market in Japan will triple its value in the next five yearsreaching 400,000 million yen (2.7 billion dollars) in 2030. worldwide, the sector already moves 17.2 billion dollars annually. Japan has the lowest unemployment rate among OECD countries, 2.4%. By 2040 it will have a deficit of eleven million workers. Almost 40% of the Japanese population will be 65 years or older in 2065. In the hospitality sector, there are three vacancies for each job applicant. Between the lines. The robotic solution responds to a government strategy. The Japanese government is actively promoting the hiring of foreign workers and encouraging companies to retain employees over 65 years of age through subsidies. Skylark This transformation illustrates well: it uses more than 4,000 workers over 65 years (almost double that in 2020) and has increased its percentage of part -time part -time personnel up to 3.3% (compared to 2.6% in 2020). Yasuko Tagawa, 71, works twenty hours a week at a taste in Tokyo. “My work is no problem when I work with robots,” he explains while cleaning tables. Approximately half of their tasks are now performed with machine assistance. “At my age it becomes more difficult to move,” he acknowledges Bloomberg. Beyond the hospitality. The robotic revolution is not limited to restaurants. The careful care sector, which provides for a deficit of 570,000 caregivers by 2040, is quickly adopting these technologies. In the residence Flos Higashi-Kojiya de Tokyo, caregivers have been using automated devices for years To lift residents, monitor the behavior of people with dementia and facilitate communication. Sensors under mattresses record sleep, heart rate and breathing, showing real -time data that allow staff to supervise forty residents of a look. Yes, but. Despite their potential, service robots have limitations and initial investment can be prohibitive for some companies. They cannot completely replace human judgment or essential interpersonal skills in many works in the services sector. However, for Yasuko Tagawa, the future with his companions Robot-Gato is promising: “Perhaps they can also help in the kitchen,” he says while caressing one of the robots. “Thank you for your work. I will tell you.” In Xataka | Amira is the most disturbing MWC: an ultra -rear robot with synthetic skin that reacts to us Outstanding image | Gankilyuu

It’s time to face that we can’t pay attention to things, we don’t really want to do it

by

“I can’t do anything for more than fifteen minutes without looking at the mobile.” A while ago, in Xataka we published A very interesting report about how we had become an eternally decentralized generation. In it, a good number of testimonies and several experts talked about one of the common places of our time: the feeling that we are losing our ability to pay attention. But is it true? The question is not absurd, of course. Especially since the debate is not so much whether memory (attention or other cognitive abilities) changes with the use of mobile devices. Of course they change. They change functionally and do so at a structural level. As Manuel Sebastián explained to usResearcher at the Cerebral Cartography Unit of the Complutense University, “we know that the text that includes links (hypertext) seems to be remembered worse in general, which is totally logical because they constitute distractors and the role of attention is critical in memory” . However, as Sebastián reminded us, “the fact that information is processed differently is not necessarily bad.” The question is whether the changes are worse, if they are leaving us more helpless in the face of certain phenomena of the world. What about our attention? A few months ago, a team from the Faculty of Psychology of the University of Vienna this question was askedbut it is not something to answer. After all, to do so we need to be able to go beyond personal sensations and find attention measurements in numerous contexts, times and ages. Measurements, in addition, that they were not theoretical but were vinvulated to solve concrete problems. Where could they find such data? There was only one answer: in Intelligence tests. That huge tailor drawer that are intelligence tests. For decades, psychologists have been passing intelligence tests to millions of people and, thanks to this, we have a huge base of psychometric evaluations. Well, among that huge amount of data: there is attention tests. Once they realized this, the Researchers gathered 179 Studies with 287 independent samples from 32 different countries over 31 years: that is, they gathered evidence of more than 20,000 people and examined whether throughout these three decades a decay of attention was identified. The results are … counterintuitive. When they examined children, adolescents and young people, They realized that their scores remained stable over the years. When they examined adults, they found that, in fact, The scores improved. Yes, you have read well: our attention has been improving for years. So we are not losing attention capacity? As Adam Grant saidProfessor of Organizational Psychology at Wharton, the problem has never been attention, it is motivation. If we want to use our attention we have the ability to do it, the problem is that we usually do not want. We are so surrounded by interesting and attractive things that we end up letting us fall into multitasking. And, of course, that has consequences. In fact, it is likely that these consequences are the most notice and those that produce the feeling that we are losing the ability to pay attention. Come on, we are “cheating” ourselves. For example, we know that “pay attention” to various media at the same time (watch a movie while we consult the mobile) It has a negative effect on memory. That is, we remember worse what we see while we do other things. The fact is that when we begin to remember the movies worse, we attribute it to our attention and not to the way we saw the movie. Everything is confused. And you have to be careful with that, because if we do not start from reality, it will be impossible Dominate again Our attention capacity.
